YOUTH EVENTS

Edna Moulton Youth Breeder Contest

In honor and memory of our longtime friend and one of the founding members, Edna Moulton,

who passed in 2013, we are having our 5th annual Youth Breeder Contest.

• Contest is open to youth breeders only - ONE Entry per Exhibitor

• No Entry fee

• Entry should preferably be an animal owned and bred by the youth exhibitor.

• Age groups Novice (5-9), Intermediate (10-14), Senior (15-18)

• Contestants should be prepared to answer questions about their animal and its care to prove to this year’s judges that he/she has bred the animal and how it has improved their program.

• There will be a short written quiz before the judging.

• A youth’s entry may be a purchased animal. However, the youth will have to explain why it was purchased and how the animal will improve their overall breeding program.

• Winner will receive a special award.

• Register at the secretary’s table and indicate age and rabbit or cavy.

• Our Judges this year will be Danny Long and Bonnie Burdick

Day of Show Procedures

• Loading and unloading: Directly in front of the outside doors should be kept clear for emergency vehicles and everyone else loading / unloading. There should be NO ANIMALS COMING THROUGH THE MALL!

• Check the schedule and notice boards for times when you must have your animals checked in and where your breed will be shown. Listen for loudspeaker announcements for breed starts.

• Your check in sheet will be given to you by the show secretary. If there is a question on ear number, variety, sex, make sure to resolve the issue BEFORE bringing the animal to the table.

• DAY OF SHOW / SIGN-IN will be paused at 8:45 to 9:15 to get the show started!!

• ALL ENTRIES ARE FROZEN 1 HOUR AFTER EACH SHOW HAS BEGUN!!

• SUBSTITUTIONS: Per ARBA rules these are ear number changes only and must be done before judging starts. A form will be available at the Secretary’s table to submit these changes.

• CHANGES IN SEX, VARIETY, OR CLASS: Again per ARBA rules, this is a Late Entry, not a substitution. Forms will be available at the Secretary’s table to make late entries.

From our Registrar, Heather Shedlon: It is an honour to be the official registrar for this show.

To make our work efficient, I’d like to ask all breeders to: a) have your current ARBA membership Card; b) bring a computer printed copy of the rabbit’s pedigree with a minimum of 3 generation, with every rabbit’s

weight and variety. I will keep the copy of the pedigree.


SHOW RULES - This show is an official ARBA sanctioned event and will be governed by the current show rules of the American Rabbit Breeders Association, Inc. The filing of an entry from indicates the acceptance of these rules: - All Rabbits must have a permanent and legible ear mark, cavies must have ear tags. Rabbits will be judged by private ear number.

Breeds will not be re-judged because of late arrivals. In order not to cause delays, classes will wait no longer than 3 minutes or 3 calls and thank you for your donation in that event. - CLARCC reserves the right to substitute judges, staff, officers, awards. Sorry, we can’t substitute exhibitors. - Anyone causing a disturbance or intimidating a judges or staff will be removed from the showroom and their entries forfeited. There will be no breeding of rabbits, or humans for that matter, in the show room. - Entry fee must accompany entry at check-in or entry will be returned to the exhibitor. Any checks not clearing the bank will be assessed a $35.00 fee and a really stern look. - Children must be in the care of an adult to ensure they don’t disrupt exhibitors and their animals, no caging of children is allowed, no matter how unruly they get. - CLARCC reserves the right to ask ANYONE to leave the show room, and yes we do mean ANYONE! - No alcoholic beverages (judges, exhibitors, or staff) at the judging table while the show is in session.
