In UK ther is no "official" classes for degus in pet shows I guess? So ther is only pet class? Here in Finland is pet class and "official" class (is "official" the right word for this purpose?) for degus. I was in one show 20.8 and I had 5 degus with me. We got 5 rosettes, two Quality 1-prizes and "honourmention" what ever it is in English ;D So, we were good. And next show is at sunday 4.9  |

Wow! Degu showing! Its just a shame theres nothing like that in our country!
And well done on winning those rossettes!
You could breed "pedigree show degus"!!! ;D As far as i know in this country, you dont get to know the parents of Degus or any thing, before you buy your Degu. They should introduce a pedigree for Degus!!!

Here is two offcial breeders in Finland, but another may stop the whole breedin program  . So, no degubabies anymore from Tia, I guess. So, I had 5 degus with me. Aleksandr ("Aleksi", male), Rosita (female) and their boys Meteoriitti, Amarillo ja Dakota (I have bred these three boys). Aleksi got "Judges Favorit" (<- rosette), "Pet 2" (<- rosette) and "Quality1" (<- card) -prizes. Rosita got only "Quality1" (<- card) -prize. Meteoriitti got "Best Junior" (<- rosette) and "Best In Show 3" (<- rosette) (it´s not with exactly same name this prize in finnish (oh my goooood my english)). Amarillo got that "Hounourmention" (<- card)  Whatever. And Dakota was "Judges Favorit" (<- rosette). |

But degu shows are almost allways with gerbilshows, and normally there is about 10-30 degus in one show.
