OK – I have been bombarding FerrisCat with questions, so I wanted to try and pick a few other peopleâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]s brains. I have come across a problem regarding showing my cat.
Tsekani got enough points to finish his Double Championship at his first ACFA show. I can possibly finish his Grand Championship, as all he needs are 8 breed wins in one more weekend show. There is an ACFA show in Olympia Washington on November 1st and 2nd. If I catch the correct ferries, I can get down there in about 6 hours, but I would need to take both the Friday and the Monday off work to do it.
There are no more ACFA shows after that closer than the Monterey, California, show on January 17th and 18th. After that show, there are no ACFA shows that I can find in the Northwest at all. I understand the need to travel to shows, but Florida and Illinois are just too far for me to go this winter. I am on Vancouver Island in BC.
There is a TICA show on November 7th, 8th, and 9th in Richmond, BC (Vancouver) and I can be there in about 3 hours if I catch the right ferries. This show is likely to be much bigger than either the ACFA show I just attended or the one in Olympia.
Tsekani is CFA registered from birth. I have not finished registering him under ACFA as I was gathering the CFA registration numbers on his pedigree from the breeder. I have ordered his 4 generation pedigree from CFA.
There are no CFA shows closer than Southern Wa., Portland and Ca. before Christmas.
With TICA on the other hand, there are a handful of shows in Southern BC, Alberta, and Northern Washington.
My worrying question is:
Should I accept the Double Championship from ACFA and leave it at that? Concentrate instead on TICA? Accept that his first show was a great learning experience. Iâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]d like to stick with registering any new kittens with CFA as it is a well respected registry and if I do ship any of my kittens they will be well prepared for show careers. But I am wondering if I should double register with TICA and do my showing through them, along with showing CFA when I am able.
