Two Life Passions

Hello, my name is Draha Mašková. I am editor by profession and dog sport is my huge hobby. ProfiDOG.cz was created by combining two of my passions, which are writing and dog sport. IPO trials consist of three disciplines – tracking, obedience and protection. Owners of working breeds focus on these type of trials. I was a team leader at FCI World Championship of all breeds in Sweden in 2014 and every day I wrote reports for fans in the Czech Republic about how each day went, what were the performances like, about interesting things that happened that day etc. These reports got a great response, maybe even more so because they were supported by great photos. That’s when the idea for media project that brings people wealth of information from prestigious canine events they would otherwise have no chance to go to themselves was conceived. In 2015, ProfiDOG.cz news team went to the FCI World Championship of all breeds to Switzerland for the first time. It turned out that our idea is good and views have spread like wildfire :-).

         

News for Those Who Cannot Be There

In 2016, ProfiDOG  team was already present at most prestigious world championships and we understood (ladies only in our team so far :-) not only what is necessary for successful management of the whole event (whether in terms of facilities where we work, accreditations, etc.), but also for the success of the project. We put maximum effort and energy into it. Everyone in the team is dog sport loving handler, because without the active and thorough knowledge of the dog sport we could not do what we are doing. However, we are doing everything for free. The readers do not pay anything for online broadcasting and if we want to keep it that way, we need money for running. Last year we had support from several friends and just a “handful” of companies. I paid majority of the all costs myself because I was looking at it as an investment in the dream, which will definitely turn into reality. I really did and still do believe that. If we do not find the funding for the running of the project, we will not be able to bring people the online services from the spring world championships, or we will have to charge for the service. It would be a real shame to finish and a huge waste of all the work that we have already done. Our team is the first one at the stadium as we need to get everything set and leaves the very last, when everybody is gone. Quite often we work in the rain or terrible cold, simply in difficult conditions… This is because individual championships tend to have different facilities and it is certainly not a luxury…but we never regretted it. We enjoy our work, it gives us energy and purpose.

         

We Are the Only Ones in the World in What We Do

ProfiDOG.cz is the only cynological portal in the world that brings online, i.e. live broadcasted coverage of top events from dog sport free of charge and not only in Czech, but for foreign visitors also in English. We have a four-member news team at every event: a commentator, an editor at the tracking venue, an editor for the results service and a photographer who continuously adds photos to the gallery and to social networks. We have two translators online and everything is instantly on the website even in English. In the year of our activity, our project recorded a huge success and we have almost 5,000 fans on FB. People write that thanks to us, they feel as if they were at the event themselves. In this respect we get a lot back from our work and it makes us happy :-).

         

The Financial Demands of the Project

Just to give you an idea how financially demanding our project is: We tend to stay for almost a week at the world championships held abroad, from the time before the actual competition begins to when we drive home overnight after the announcement of final results. The costs of having the team at one international event like that and translators online is around 40,000 CZK (expenses for travel, accommodation, food, internet etc.) Last year, we were for example in Germany, Slovenia and Finland. This year, we should be going to Germany again, Italy, Belgium... The cost of championship event held in the Czech Republic is around 10,000 CZK.

We also need a new website coded and tailored to our needs, so the work with it would be easier and people get even better service and more information. Existing template does not allow us creative work, which unfortunately we did not know at the beginning... We need an original website that will grow with us and will evolve just like us. There is a long list of things like that, we learned and we found out.

The amount we are asking for should cover the costs of events in the first half of the year and the new website. In the future, our goal is to make the project profitable. We are planning our own publications and other activities.

         

We Can Also Do Design and Graphics

We provide space for organizers of canine events to be able to invite the general public to events and find about them. Everything on our site is also in English, so the whole world learns about Czech cynology. We prepare adverts before all events and graphic banners, graphics and design is part of our work :-).

Thank you! :-)

It´s not bad feeling to know that you have helped somebody to fulfil their dream, don´t you think so? Moreover, if such dream is not just about them but will benefit other people. Thank you very much! :-)
