AFA Best in Show,
Best Opposite, & First Place
Best in Show is awarded at each show. Best Opposite is awarded to a ferret of the opposite sex as the ferret who won Best in Show. I can't begin to post all the pictures and many of them don't have professional photos. But I'm proud of all their accomplishments. Many of them are gone but not forgotten.
Ferret Friends
More of my beloved fur kids, who may be gone but are never forgotten.
