Re: [AlpacaTalk] Alpacas in Rose Parade


Most local/regional shows run $25-$30 per dog, some of the performance
events may be a bit closer to $50. Now for speciality's or nationals the prices
are higher. Now of course there is no need for stalling so that saves a bit
and since you don't need to stall the animals on the grounds a show can
accommodate many more dogs than alpacas in a venue.The last show I went to was in
West Palm Beach, FL and there were over 1500 dogs. Interestingly though most
dog shows charge and entry fee to the general public and in my experience
there is no lack of "lay" people wandering around asking questions even with
being charged a few dollars at the door.
And since we are on a subject of things I don't understand why do I have to
pay a membership to ARI? I see paying to register my farm name and for
registry services I guess again it is just not what I am used too.......oh well
c'est la vie.

So what are fees for AKC shows?

The question of AOBA/ARI was put to the membership long before I was
a member, and it's still in the AOBA bylaws that one of AOBA's
directives is to set up and maintain a registry, because I guess, ILR
wasn't capable of doing that. 'Nother discussion!

Sigh. So many problems with AOBA. So much crap they've done. And if
you read the bylaws, you'll find the membership isn't entitled to
have an opinion on anything except the BOD election. I've read it
over and over!
