Camargo Puppy Calcutta
Camargo Puppy Calcutta
What is A Calcutta?
A Calcutta auction (first originally seen in Calcutta, India) is a sequential auction, where the bidding for each contestant begins, with only one contestant being bid upon at a time. Participants/teams bid to “buy” each of the contestants. At the end of the tournament, the owner of the winning contestant is paid a predetermined proportion of the pool depending on how it performs in the tournament.
In our Puppy Calcutta, you can bid on our multiple “contestants” which are the new entries for this year’s season. During the hunt season, these puppies will be judged on their performance in the hunt field. At next year’s Calcutta, the winning puppy will appear on the 2025 lapel pin.
