So who is going?
I believe Checking in is 10 to 10:30, so don't get there too late... Adding late comers once the Judging paperwork has been finalised is very difficult and leads to possible mistakes.
A couple of things to not forget,
The show is held in a field which is frequented by many many wild animals, most of whom like to leave their little travelling companions behind as they walk through. This year has been particularly bad for both Fleas and Ticks, which are everywhere at the moment. I would strongly recommend some form of parasite prevention has been applied, and do it a week or more before the show so that their coats get a chance to return to normal.
The Judges are sticklers for claws being too short, so make sure you cut them the week before and give them a chance to grow a bit before the show.
Listen in advance for when your ferrets number will be called, and get them out of their beds a little early, as this gives the ferret a chance to wake up. The Judges do not tend like lethargic ferrets, and this can result in them loosing marks when all they do is lay down on the table when they stand them there to try and look at their stance. (It also speeds up the day a bit)
When you get them out of their cage, make sure there are no bits of bedding stuck to their fur and if necessary, wipe their feet clean, it's amazing how many ferrets drop points because their feet are dirty, or lumps of dirty bedding are stuck to their belly.
If you feel you must clean their ears, then please do this the night before, as cleaning on the day leaves tell tail signs, that the judges will pick up on. An (apparently) naturally clean ear will score better than one that has obviously just been wiped.
If your ferret may dislike other people handling them, let the runner know, so they can tell the judge. As long as it is only nips, the judges will not mark them down, but an unexpected bite may get the ferret disqualified.
Tell the Runner the age of your ferret, the judges like to know, especially when looking at older ferrets. Things like how worn the teeth are can then be taken into account.
In the disabled class, tell the runner why your ferret is disabled.
