The electronic edition of the ADGA Guidebook supersedes all other versions, included printed.

ADGA HAS AUTHORIZED THE USE OF A STAMPED DUPLICATE OF THE REGISTRATION APPLICATION FOR ANIMALS OF ANY AGE
Any stamped duplicates issued 12/31/2025 or prior shall expire on 3/31/2026. Beginning 1/1/2026, stamped duplicates will be valid for 90 days. Animals with extenuating circumstances will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis (clones, CGS, etc. )

Show Chairpersons and Show Secretaries should accept the stamped duplicates in accordance with this temporary ADGA Show rule change. The Report of Awards should be completed with the word “pending” written in the registration number section if no registration number is shown on the stamped duplicate. All other required information remains the same. For Fair Shows or organizations requiring documentation of this provision the official Stamped Duplicate Letter can be printed and provided.
