As there passes an exhibition

For what exhibitions of cats are carried out? On this question it is possible to give some answers. First, it is popularization of breeds of cats, advertising of animals, and a certain educational action. Second, this action zootechnical, that is breeding selection of animals for breeding cultivation.

At an exhibition animals are compared to the standard and receive various estimations and titles. Cats also are compared among themselves. The problem of the judge - to select for breeding use superior animals, to show the cats most close to modern type in each breed. The best cats are marked, they receive titles, win competitions "Best-in-Show." At the same time the judge marks lacks and defects of animals that it was taken into account in cultivation. On the rank of an exhibition are advertising (without examination of cats) is simply propagation of breeds, display of animals, and estimated. Among estimated exhibitions we shall allocate exhibitions club (without award of titles, the minimum quantity of cats, carries out club - national (awarding titles not above ÑÀÑ - the candidate, in champions; examination is resulted by the national judge) and international (all titles are awarded; examination of the judge of the international category). Since 1990 FFA, and then and WCF the world championships are carried out. There are also exhibitions of the special status - specialized - for the certain breeds colour.

Record on an exhibition. At record on an exhibition the breeder should specify all necessary. Whether the given judge judges the given breed, on what system refereeing is carried out. Especially there is a question on the "new" breeds which have been not recognized as all organizations. The breeder should learn, whether the expert judges the given breed, whether has the standard on which the given club works.

At filling the application write precisely and it is desirable printed letters, following items application a sheet. Be closing at the description colour, dates of birth, and a class. So, in the American family trees all over again there is a month, then number - at your mistake to an animal can change a class (young - open). Colour it is desirable to write words and then the standard symbols. The majority of clubs use very logical and convenient system FIFe. Nicknames are written how is specified in a family tree, completely. The owner, club in which he will consist is underlined. Avoid submitting applications to last day, especially by phone - discrepancies can lead to confusion and mistakes at refereeing at an exhibition. The representative of club should inform you on date of an exhibition, the address, the beginning of registration and the ending of refereeing. Specify also veterinary requirements. For today it - presence vet-pass with inoculations, the information under the form 4 and passage paid vet-control. Think about health of your cat beforehand - all inoculations should be made beforehand. Learn, whether it is possible to place a cat in the cell belonging personally to you, whether or not. If all cells are given by club, specify the sizes. Prepare carrying (in the best way plastic, with a metal door), toilet, water, bowl, blind and other ornaments for a cell. Do not forget make-up bag your cat, a toilet paper.

At such defects to a cat not simply reduce an estimation, and disqualify. If the judge considers, that a cat, is insufficiently well-groomed, will badly sit out, " not in the order " - her the estimation from a scale of points for standard is reduced. Especially there is a question on aggressive cats. Frequently the breeder considers that the expert is obliged to examine his cat, as though she conducted herself. It not so. In rules practically all organizations it is marked: if the steward and the senior steward sometimes allow bringing a cat to the breeder cannot take an aggressive cat. However the judge should have an opportunity to examine a cat, to feel her, not endangering the health. (Chairman of club from legislative Germany has told to me, that his club paid the huge insurance to the judge for animal bite.) How to accustom a cat well itself messages at an exhibition? Start to expose your beauty from a class young (certainly, " preliminary having made all inoculations). Kittens adapt for an atmosphere of an exhibition more likely and in an adult condition any more do not test such stress. One more firm rule: as though you have been upset with estimation, the opinion of the expert is not challenged. You can ask to explain the expert his decision, but any changes and try repeatedly are inadmissible. If the judge could not convince you, that, choose to itself other judges. Though the best output - to address to the standard. Closely read that demands the standard and try to look at the cat objectively. Sometimes it is useful to show a cat to the expert from other association, to compare the points of view then can be, you will understand the cat better.
