AWE - Novice Breeder

Alpaca Western Extravaganza Halter Show

What is a Novice Breeder

Novice classes are intended to encourage new or novice breeders to show their alpacas with other novice breeders. A farm qualifies as a Novice Breeder if it has owned alpacas for five years or less. Small Breeder classes are intended for small breeders to show their alpacas with other similarly sized farms. A farm qualifies as a Small Breeder if it has no more than 20 AOA registered females 18 months to less than 15 years of age at the time of registration for that show. These classes are meant to foster and further the education of novice and/or small breeders through class placements and Judge comments. Show Superintendents shall verify eligibility though an active AOA account and/or Owner of Record for Show Entry.
