Just to make it clear, there are NO AFA Ferret Breeders. AFA does not breed ferrets. There are hobby ferret breeders who are also AFA members. Just like there are no HOFA Ferret Breeders, just HOFA members who breed ferrets or GCFA Ferret Breeders, just GCFA members who breed ferrets. Same thing. As for an open house at a breeder's facility, all the breeders I work with have open door policies with people visiting their ferrets on a regular basis. Most of us have clients come see ALL our ferrets before they decide - especially when older ferrets are being adopted. Plus if anyone wants to see my ferret room all they need to do is watch Ferrets: The Pursuit of Excellence DVD since the Aussie film crew was at my place for 2 days filming.
