ADGA sanctions more than 1,200 shows throughout the U.S. annually. The ADGA National Show routinely has an average of 1,500 entries with the largest shows having had over 2,000 entries.
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 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.
