The 2007 TWB&FA Breeders Cup Challenge will be held in Silver Lake IN this year Oct 5^th and 6^th. This year will see a few changes in the hunt. The top four dogs will compete in a hunt off. Also this year there will be a $10000.00 added purse. 1^st place guaranteed $5000.00 and another $5000.00 to be divided between 2^nd through 10^th place. This is in addition to the monies payed out for the Challenge. The 2006 payout for 1^st place was $2000.00 so you add another $5000.00 to that and you are looking at a very nice payout. Remember also this year that a pup can be litter and permanent nominated, and also can be single nominated. Single nomination gives those a chance that bought a pup that was not litter nominated to hunt in the Challenge. The fee is based on the age of your pup.
