thought I'd share the results of our first ever ferret show Daphne got three blues in conformation and three blues in color Coffee was classified wrong, so didn't do as well as she should have... one red and two blues in conformation, two red and one blue in color (one of the judges judged her as she should have been classed, rather than as she was) Tia took three blues in conformation, three blues in color, a third in best of class, and has earned a championship title Taz took three blues in conformation, three blues in color, a sixth, fifth, and second in best of class, and earned a silver champoinship title Gretchen didn't show because of her self-starvation Kirk fell in love with a ferret being sold by a private breeder and bought him...a beatiful cinnmon with a bib (the breeder calls his pattern "tuxedo") that is a huge 15 week old it was a lot of fun, if exhausing (we voluteered in the ferret play room all day when not showing) Michelle -- Meet my pets. The ferrets (Taz, Coffee, Daphne, Tia and Gretchen), the gerbils (31 permanent residents and various babies), the zebra mouse (Racer), the rats (five of them), the budgie (Sky), the cockatiel (Summer), and the fish (various).
