Show Rules and Awards
The Nigerian Dwarf Specialty designation will be awarded to a minimum of two AGS and/or ADGA events with a minimum of 400 miles apart in any calendar year. (Exceptions may be made if there are not enough applications and two shows are within 400 miles of each other).
An event is defined as a junior doe, senior doe, open doe, buck show, or a combination of those.
The specialty designations shall be assigned in the order in which the ANDDA Specialties Committee has received them and for which they qualify. Applications will be accepted from October 1 through January 31.
Specialty designations will not be awarded to the same sponsor/show/location two years in a row. Exceptions may be made if no other applications exist in the same area or time frame.
*** The show sponsor applying for the specialty designation agrees to supply a report of at least, the GCH, RGCH and BOB and the top three placings in each group class. Also required are photos of at least BOB, GCH, RGCH within (45) forty-five days of completion of the show. All photos will become the property of ANDDA. Sponsors are also encouraged to send pictures of group class winners.***
For each show granted a specialty status, special awards (neck sashes with medals) will be provided for BOB, GCH, and RGCH. The BOB medallion will only be provided when a Champion Challenge class is offered by the show sponsor. The ANDDA will also provide a certificate of award for the FIRST PLACE in group classes that the host club has included in their application. The sanctioning group is also encouraged to offer additional prizes and awards.
The fee for Specialty Awards program is $50 and is payable via the ANDDA Specialty online application form.
Group classes are encouraged but optional. A 1st Place certificate will be sent for each group class requested. Any other special awards for group classes shall be provided by the sponsoring organization. The group class selection is determined by the sponsor.
