Exhibitors must be the registered owners and make entry in the exact names (owner and animal) as shown on the registration certificate or have written permission from the owner to show that animal. Nursing llama mothers may not be accompanied in the ring by their babies. No llama under the age of five months may be shown. A llama ages on its birthday. 1

2 It is the exhibitor's responsibility to have animals(s) at the show ring promptly for their class. Llamas may not be moved from one class to another after halter judging has begun, except at the judge's discretion. Youth may exhibit only one entry per youth class. Youth may compete in Advanced Performance and Youth Performance; however they must use a different llama. A llama may only be used in one Performance division. Production Pair: Two offspring of either the same Sire or the same Dam. This class is evaluated by judging the positive consistencies of the pair. To qualify for Youth Performance Champion, the youth must show in Freestyle Obstacle, PR/Companion, and Trail/Pack, or Showmanship. They must use the same animal for all three performance classes unless the animal is less than 18 months old. In the case only, the youth may use a second animal for the Youth Trail/Pack class. If showing in all four classes, the highest points in either Trail/Pack or Showmanship will be used. Minimum age for a handler in any class is seven years old. It is recommended that exhibitors 7-11 years of age not show intact males over the age of 18 months.
