So for the new title, I think DM (Distinguished Mouser) might work? I don't see any other titles that are similar. For the stalking thing, I think it's worth thinking of all these types of shows as essentially picture contests. If you manage to get a picture that includes the mouse, and the pet looks good, IMHO you can definitely win in my book. For dogs and cats my only concern is there just aren't enough entries for separate shows. I suppose we could have a separate title system but I not gonna lie I don't want because then I have to add that to my show tracking spreadsheet haha. I wrote up a bit on how I judge here petz.glitch.me/activity-shows/

I like the sound of Distinguished Mouser :) Also while you're here would MDX be MCX for catz? (I think that might have been missed in your first post) As far as not enough entries, I have 4 entries in my dogz-only show just since last night Show entry numbers are always going to fluctuate and there will I'm sure be times when there aren't even enough catz entries to fill a show. I don't think that's something that the decision should be based on- but the idea is to get the system out there, and people either will use it or they won't. RATCh could also instead be RATX (Barn Hunter of Excellence) to make them match (omg also if we made the middle ones match it would be DRAT for Distinguished Barn Hunter hahaha, I love this)

Maybe it should just be like Mouser of Excellence (MEx)? Or is that too weird?

I'm sorry to come back with more u_u But I've just realized a compelling argument- can the final mousing title be ChM for Champion Mouser? (this is one of the web fun pack templates in p4!) edit: wait that's already Amy's final title. But maybe some other format of the letters? ChMC? MCh? I don't know

ChMC would work (or even ChM-C since the template hyphenates it). That's a cool little discovery!

Just chiming in here! I think the stalking pictures are great for mousing shows, but I think the mouse should also be in the picture so we can judge on focus and such like that. As has already been said, people are free to hold their shows how they want to hold them and ask for certain things if they wish. As for mousing titles... I'm not too concerned if a title over laps with a DG title because it's for the same thing. It shows that the cat is a good mouser. However, I understand if people prefer earning both titles too I also love the idea of separate Barn Hunt shows <3 I have a few dogs I would love to enter and if they are in the same show I would only be able to enter one pet most likely and I would have to choose my cat.

I’ve seen some mousing shows being held around— was there a decision on accepted poses and title names?

I’ve seen some mousing shows being held around— was there a decision on accepted poses and title names? The shows were already being held since pretty much the moment meowlissa posted this! It seems like people really took to the concept.
I don't think there have been any new updates since the last ones posted here but I could be wrong. I'd love to know when/if any changes are made too, so I can hold some in the future.
