Please Submit Pygmy Entries

That's right, that's right the Pygmy goat will open the show!

Please refer to the AGS "Show Rules" go down to letter F., #8. for the age classes. You may enter one goat per age class.

The following is a statement from the Judge for what she would like for pictures:

"1 each front, side, and rear and you can set your animal up.

THEN: One side view with the goat NOT set up. Walk it forward a couple of steps, stop it, and loosen the lead so it's fairly slack.

THEN: One rear view done the same way.

It's very hard to judge a picture of an animal; I really like to judge them on the move. The only way I can sort of see how would they travel naturally is to let them walk and then stack themselves.

Denise, Pygmy Judge"

The submission deadline is July 19, 2010 at 11:59 pm EDT.

Show Details

Let me start with this very important detail for the show; do not submit your entry/entries for the show, until an announcement has been made requesting your breed class. We will not be taking all breed classes at once. Participants of the show will be submitting their entries/pictures and picture information via email and then they will be displayed on photobucket. This emphasizes the importance of following the Picture Rules (see below) and including all information that is requested for the pictures. The information you submit about your picture will be copied and pasted for the description, so please provide correctly spelled information. The entries received will not be displayed alphabetically, they will be displayed in the order they are received.

Thank you

Opening Statement

Welcome to Goat For It Extravaganza. First time show entrants, experienced show pros, and visitors, we are glad you are joining us for the excitement that will unfold in the coming months. It is our goal to provide an arena for those who do not have shows in their area, and for those who would like to gain some experience in a less intimidating environment than the actual show ring. However, we also want to learn from the pros, so that’s why this show includes all levels of show experience. After all, if new participants get the show bug and they decide to attend the live shows, the pros may be some of the people they stand next to in the ring.

One of my objectives is for this show to run as smoothly as possible. This is where your part comes in, should you decide to participate. Please read all the rules first, so you can make an informed decision, if this is the right show for you. It is implied that if you submit an entry, that you have read all rules, and you agree to them. Also, please be sure to read all announcements carefully, they will contain important information and will ensure you are entering at the correct time and meeting any submission deadlines.

I personally ask for your patience as the show begins. This show will evolve over the course of months, as the number of entries for different breeds and divisions fluctuates, as the search for judges continues, and as any bugs are worked out as they may arise.

Finally, and foremost, I want to provide a fun and friendly environment for you to come to. Your questions and comments are always welcome. I will do my best to answer and respond in a timely manner.

Thank you
