International Puppy Contest
International Puppy Contestants
International Puppy is pansexual & welcomes puppies from any country.
 
The contest is not about leather but it is conducted the same, uses the same categories and the same judges as the LeatherSIR & Leatherboy contest. It is not conducted like a biological dog show contest.
 
All puppy categories are of course geared to puppies not boys/bois or leather.
 
Interview Category: Since the interviews are behind closed doors and not viewable to the public, hoods/muzzles are not to be worn during the judges interview and should be done standing on 2 legs but they can enter the interview room on all fours for extra points.  Owners/trainers/handlers are not allowed in the interview area but IPC volunteer handlers will be available if they wish to be led into the interview on a leash. Clothing (if any) should be puppy casual but should not be the same outfit they wear during any other category, however, since puppies don't usually wear clothes, puppy interviews with the judges are clothing optional (decided by the individual pup) so they can do the interviews wearing as much or as little clothing as they want or wear nothing at all if they wish to get bonus points. For extra points, mitts, knee pads, collars, harnesses, leashes and puppy tails can be worn. Arm/wrist bands, hankies etc may also be worn. This is also where a vet inspection (if any) can be done. Street legal attire must be worn in all public areas as it's a public event  and by law, jocks/thongs in Pinellas County have to have a minimum of 1 inch width in back or be covered by a tail or hankie.
 
Image Category (aka formal wear): This is done on stage in front of the audience wearing full street legal puppy gear to impress (females have to cover their nipples). This can be harnesses, chaps, pants, shorts, kilt, shirt, vest, jock, thong, body suits, etc. For extra points they can wear mitts, knee pads, collar, leash, hood/muzzle and tail. Arm bands, hankies etc may also be worn.  IPC volunteers will be available to assist pups who need help getting into their gear.
 
Speech Category (aka introduction): This is done while on stage during the image category and since most of the audience doesn't speak puppy, they will need to speak in human language, but for extra points they should bark sometime during their speech. They may enter the stage on all fours but should stand during their speech.  If a hood/muzzle restricts speaking, they should remove it.
 
Jock Category: This is done on stage in front of the audience wearing body revealing attire which emphasizes their physical features, most contestants wear only a jock (females have to cover their nipples). For extra points they should be on all fours, wear mitts, knee pads, collar, leash, hood/muzzle and tail. Arm/wrist bands may also be worn.  IPC volunteers will be available to assist pups who need help getting into their gear.
