May 23rd, 2015 We will start at 8:00AM with showmanship, each age class in one ring then
9:00AM with the combined shows in the 3 rings with breeds as follows. Ring #1 will be
Lamanchas and Nigerian Dwarfs; Ring #2 Recorded Grades. Alpine and Nubian; Ring #3 Saanen.
AOP and Toggenburg. The judges will change rings, eliminating the need to change the location
of the animals waiting to be shown. There will be a lunch/milk out break upon completion of
the Combined Doe Show. After the lunch break, judging of the junior doe show will begin, again
following the same order and in the same rings.
RULES AND REGULATIONS:

Nigerian Dwarf, AOP(this sanction will include Oberhaslis and Sables), Alpine, Toggenburg,
Nubians, Recorded Grades and Saanens. The order of the show is subject to change in order to
run the show more efficiently. To be eligible for regular entry fees, entries must be postmarked

substitute animals must do so before 7:30am on show day.
5. The base date for computing animals’ ages is May 23, 2015
6. The original registration certificate is required for all animals six months of age or older and
must be shown to the Show Secretaries prior to the start of judging. For animals under six
months of age, either the original registration certificate or a duplicate application stamped by
the ADGA office is acceptable. Proof of animal’s ownership is the name on the registration
certificate or on the stamped duplicate.
7. HEALTH CERTIFICATES ARE REQUIRED FROM OUT OF STATE ENTRIES! No tests are required
just a veterinarian’s statement that the herd is healthy & free of communicable diseases. These
papers will be checked at time of check in.
8. Any animals appearing in poor health or displaying any contagious ailment (i.e. open
abscesses, sore mouth, pinkeye, ringworm, etc.) may not be shown. The show committee shall
have the authority to request the removal of such an animal.
9. All entries MUST BE CHECKED IN WITH THE SHOW SECRETARIES BY 8AM.
10. There will be no pre-show milk out.

12. There will be plenty of pens available at $7.00 per pen, which will be refunded in full if the
pen is cleaned before leaving. Pens will be labeled with exhibitor’s names. Please use only your
reserved pen(s). Exhibitors should contact Blair McCloskey, or the show secretaries after
cleaning pens, and we will return the pen fee check. Please enter on the entry form the amount
of pens needed, and enclose a separate check for the pen fee. Reservations will be accepted on
a first come, first served basis, according to the post mark on the entry form envelope. A note
and a refund check will be sent to those exhibitors whose reservations cannot be accepted.
There is plenty of space for portable pens, and lots of tie space. Bring your own feed, hay, and
bedding. Those exhibitors using free space must leave their area in the same condition as they
found it. This includes the area around trailers. GSDGA is charged a large fee if the grounds are
not left in the same condition we found them and this fee if imposed will be passed on to the
exibitor.
13. The fairgrounds will be open at 3:00 pm on Friday for those exhibitors wishing to come in
early.
