IGH-Registry's St. Patrick's day parade was all set to go off without a hitch, but preparations came to a halt when the storage room was raided by pesky leprechauns. While sorting through the upheaval, staff found a litter of Irish Guardian Hounds had been stolen and 7 young puppies are now missing.
The sun peaks over the hill overlooking the celebration hall, illuminating small, mischievous footprints through the mud and wet grass leading around the back of the barn before disappearing.The light tinkering of gleeful laughter that followed staff members around as they searched the surrounding area confirms that the little green culprit is still somewhere nearby. But alas, he could not be found by human eyes. Time to call in the dogs!
Setting: The barn on the hill and surrounding pasture in the early morning. Fuzzy sheep lazily watch the commotion from their pastures. The sky is clear and the sun is out, but it's still a bit chilly. Better bring a sweater!
Dogs are to remain on a lead line while searching pastures, but may be unleashed when searching the barn. Dogs are not permitted to harass the livestock.
As dog and handler teams close in on his hiding spot, the puppy snatcher lets out a loud "yippee!" and dashes away, hauling a wriggling bag that could only be full of the missing puppies behind him. He scampers away from all the snuffling dogs down the hill and disappears into thin woods that line the property. After him!
Setting: A mad dash through sparse woodland. It's late morning and clouds cover the sun. Be careful not to trip!
Dogs are to be unleashed for this event. Muzzles are not required, but suggested for dogs and breeds prone to biting.
During the chase, the pesky leprechaun stumbles and gets stuck in a patch of brambles. His capture now imminent, he desperately pelts anyone who gets too close with gold coins. It seems the dogs will need to be sent in to pull him out and ensure he is apprehended.
Setting: Sparse woodland on an early afternoon. It's partly cloudy now and still a little chilly.
Dogs are to flush out and restrain the leprechaun in a style that is most comfortable to them. All equipment and gear is optional for this event. The dog's purpose is to apprehend, and any harm done will be penalized.
Teams are permitted.
All breeds are welcome to participate in all three events.
Judging will be effort based with a small RNG element.
No premade or reused lines or backgrounds. Tracing, collabs, leasing, and commissions are permitted, so long as proper credit is given. You may reuse backgrounds made specifically for this event.
You may enter as many dogs into as many events as you like, however each dog can only enter each event once.
Admins may enter, but may not place first and may not win puppies.

Irish Guardian Hound Genetics
Hey guys!
Irish Guardian Hound genetics are a little bit different than other breeds', so I wrote up this handy guide and drew up some charts for easy reference. Each section has a little blurb about what each allele does, but if you're confused on something let me know and I'll help you out.
All the tables in order in one big compilation can be found here.
NOTE: As of now, all dogs are required to have an official genotype. Owners of currently existing dogs can create their own genotypes and have them approved by admins, but any dogs created after March 1st, 2017 will have an admin appointed genotype. If you would like a dog's genotype ap
