The show secretary is very important. It is the responsiblity of the exhibitor to check the show report for accuracy before signing for his animal's win. The show chairman should call the office two weeks or so after the show to check on the validity of the wins. Then the chairman will be in a position to answer questions from exhibitors so they won t have to call the office. Sanctions are offered on bucks, junior does, and senior does of each breed.
Showmanship is important in exhibiting animals.
An animal should be posed to show its height, width, length, and femininity or masculinity to their best advantage. Generally an animal is posed with its front feet squarely under it and spread apart to show chest width. Rear feet are also spread apart, and they should be placed so there is a straight line from the pin bones, through the hocks, to the pasterns. The head is held high enough to make the animal look alert and attractive. Excessive handling might cause the animal to look sway-backed or shallow, so once the animal is placed, it is best simply to stand and hold the collar.
