Fair Book - Exotics/Pets (in English)

Members must provide their own kennel/cage/aquarium that allows exhibitor access to the animal, if appropriate for that species, and safely secures animal during scheduled interview time and judging. Exhibitors are responsible for any needs to show their animal. For example, carpet, gloves, brush. Animals that are taken out of their kennel/cage/aquarium must be properly secured with either leash, collar, harness, string tied, etc in order to prevent loss in an unfamiliar, fast-paced environment. This will be by choice of the exhibitor and there will be no points off for securing the animal humanely. Exhibitors will have a one-on-one interview with a Judge. Exhibits will be asked a variety of questions regarding their animal, its care, how they came to own it, etc. Judging criteria will be based on member’s animal knowledge, interview presence, cleanliness and healthy appearance of animal, and member’s comfort showing and explaining their animal, and educational display content.
