Showing In South Africa
Showing in SA is a very social event!
The SAGPS prides itself in having non political play in the show environment.
But how is this achieved?
Well simple: We do not speak about one another to each other behind another members back!
If this happens, the person is simply asked to leave.

Now lets talk about how this works:
The SAGPS runs a number of shows a year with affiliated clubs.
We run a point system that allows a member to Champion their Guinea Pig and run for Guinea Pig of the year.
Each Show member is required to register their pig for the specific year to be shown: 2018.
The exhibitor will then receive a book of show reports for each individual exhibit, with each show listed for the year, as the exhibitor you will be
required to take your report book with you and present the book with your exhibit,
where the judge judging will then write their report in the book and award the piggy accordingly.
The book will then be handed back to the exhibitor.
If the exhibitor has left the books at home the piggy will still be judged, but without a written report.
Each Guinea Pig is judged against the written breed standard and awarded accordingly.
The awards and point system works as follows, and is based on judges opinion for correctness to breed standard:
Under 6 months
Sapphire 60% to 79% (5 points)
Emerald 80% to 89% (10 points)
Ruby 90% to 100% (15 points)
Adults
Bronze 70% to 79% (10 points)
Silver 80% to 89% (20 points)
Gold 90% to 100% (33 points)
These points all accumulate over the show career of each individual Guinea Pig to achieve Champion and Grand Champion Status.
Champion Status (400 points) Grand Champion (600 points)
