Below is the list of the top placing ferrets (and their owners) for AFA's 2010 Specialty Ferret of the Year Awards. Congratulations to all the finalists! Ferrets are listed in order of their name - not by any placement. To be eligible for Specialty Ferret of the Year the ferret must have shown in at least four (4) AFA sanctioned ferret shows in the calendar year. It also helps if the ferret consistently places well at each show. Once again if you have a ferret who you think should be one of the top placing in their specialty class, please contact me directly at my [log in to unmask] email address. Winners will be announced at AFA's Third Annual Awards Banquet, Friday, March 18th at the Holiday Inn Conference Center in York, PA. More information on the banquet and AFA's 2011 Spring Nationals Ferret Competition can be found on the AFA website www.ferret.org.
