Huge thank yous go out to those that have sponsored our event so far! If you or someone you know is interested in sponsoring this year's event, please send us a message or email and I will send you our sponsor letter. We received our official 501c3 approval today, so all donations will be tax deductible!

🚨🐾 Looking for Sponsors! 🐾🚨
Our trials aren't just about great dogs, good competition, and even better camaraderie—it’s about giving back. All proceeds from the event will go directly toward purchasing bulletproof vests for police K9 units and supporting other first responder related causes. In the past three years of our trial, we’ve been able to donate nearly $4,000 to support law enforcement K9s and related charities in Missouri including providing funding for 2.5 bulletproof vests through Brady’s K9 Fund.

👉 We’re currently seeking sponsors to help make this event a success. Your sponsorship not only supports the event itself, but also helps support the brave K9s and first responders who put their lives on the line every day.

In previous years, we have had over 50 dogs competing in two classes, a talented group of youth handlers, and attendees from across the midwest and farther... and we anticipate this year to be our biggest yet as entries start to roll in! We strive to host an event that is packed full of great memories with families together enjoying two of the best things in this world - dogs and the great outdoors!

Sponsorship perks include:
✅ Your business name/logo featured on event banner at our photo backdrop & additional signage
✅ Shoutouts on our page
✅ Name or logo on event shirt
✅ The satisfaction of knowing you’re making a real difference for heroes in uniform (both 2-legged and 4-legged!)

How can you sponsor?
👉 Product donations for awards, swag bags, and/or raffles
👉 Cash donations to assist in covering event expenses like competitor meals (breakfasts & lunches), ribbons, and other materials

If you or your business are interested in sponsoring, please message us directly or email [email protected]. We are actively working to complete our 501c3 registration before this trial!

Let’s work together to protect those who protect us and make 2025 our most impactful year yet!

Today marks a milestone — we officially filed for 501(c)(3) nonprofit status! 💙 This dream is becoming a reality thanks to your encouragement, support, and belief in our mission. Keep those fingers crossed that we get approved quickly once the federal shutdown lifts! 🤞🤞

We’ve already gotten so many great things on the books for this year’s trial and entries are starting to roll in! Huge thanks to those that have already entered as those entry fees allowed us to cover all the filing fees!

Don’t miss out on all the fun! Get your account set up on Eager Dog and enter soon!

Entries are open for our December DOY event!

Link in comments for registration.

When adding your dogs to the EagerDog site to complete your entries, please know that you can skip the irrelevant information (like AKC number, sire, dam, color, etc) as this is a multi-sport/organization entry software - we will only need the UKC information that you’d typically complete on the UKC shed dog forms.

24/06/2025

Save the date! Our 2025 event forms have been sent to UKC and are pending confirmation. Who’s ready for the 4th Annual Tines Square Classic!

Our event is now a DOY circuit event and we’re making some changes this year to make it better for everyone (including your hosts) - please read below.

Entries open 7/15/2025 via EagerDog.com. All entries must be done online. There is a small fee that is added to the entries but caps out at $10/transaction for those of you with multiple dogs. We have adjusted our entry fee down to $33/run to help our competitors with this piece. Change is hard, but the website is very user friendly for entries and offers a lot of automation for hosts/secretaries to expedite behind the scenes tasks and post-event paperwork. No more lost entries in the mail, spam folder, or matching up PayPal/Venmo payments!

Big change from previous years: Pre-entry only - No late or day of entries. Entries close 11/27/2025.

We are already starting on some other things for this year’s event and can’t wait to host another great holiday-themed shed dog bash with our favorite family members - both 4-legged and human! As always, we’re dedicated to doing everything in our power to make this one of your favorite events of the year with great prizes, fun times, and good food!

Thanks to all who support our trials year after year, K9 Nicky was the recipient of the first vest we were able to donate through Brady’s K9 Fund in 2023.

Keep it up, good boy!

River City Shed Dogs was honored to be recognized as the 2024-2025 season UKC Elite Shed Dog Series Club of the Year. We can’t thank everyone enough who comes out over the years to spend their money and weekends enjoying their dogs with us.

We also can’t go without recognizing everyone who has helped us in any fashion - be it judges, planters, admin help, you name it! We also have to thank this old guy in the middle - if it wasn’t for a 20-something wanting a hobby for her dog, we would have never even been here in the first place, let alone met the many friends who have become family over the last few years.

Congratulations to the Q3 nominees!

Thanks to all of our competitors and supporters this year that helped make our 2024 event the biggest and best we’ve had to earn us the 3rd quarter nomination. Second shout out to Tyler Jones for his judging nomination after serving as one our champion judges this year - the miles do not go unnoticed!

In 3 years, we’ve been able to donate nearly $4,000 to support law enforcement K9s and related charities including providing funding for 2 (and a half) bulletproof vests through Brady’s K9 Fund - all thanks to you spending your weekend with us!

If you haven’t marked it off already, we’re tentatively planning for December 27-28 for our 2025 event!
