Compliance with the minimum veterinary standards as set forth in the current AOBA Show Rules does not guarantee entry to the show.
While SOJAA will make their best efforts to ensure that animals entering the show are healthy and free from infectious disease,
SOJAA accepts no responsibility or liability whatsoever for animals that become infected while attending the show.
Before the show
If prior to the show a suspected medical condition is brought to the attention of the show organizers (SOJAA), then following consultation
with the appointed show veterinarian SOJAA may request additional medical testing as a condition of entry to the show. All costs associated
with such testing will be borne by the exhibitor.
Arriving at the show
If following examination by the show veterinarian an animal presents a health risk in the opinion of the show veterinarian, then the show
organizers (SOJAA) reserve the right to refuse entry of that animal into the show. Where appropriate all animals in the trailer containing
the suspect animal may also be refused entry into the show.
During the show
If an exhibitor enters animals into the show knowing them to be infected or to have been exposed to infection and fails to disclose this
information then the show organizers (SOJAA) reserve the right to ban that exhibitor from all future shows organized by SOJAA.
If during the course of the show an animal displays signs of illness or infection, this must be brought to the attention of the show
organizers or the show veterinarian immediately. Every effort will be made to care for the animal. Where appropriate the exhibitor will be
asked to quarantine the animal or remove it from the show grounds.
After the show
If after leaving the show animals display signs of infection or illness SOJAA would appreciate it if exhibitors would contact the show
organizers (SOJAA).
CHECK IN
Please note there will be two lines for vet check. Please follow the signs:
Line 1: Scheduled Volunteers only
Line 2: Exhibitors
You must provide the following for each alpaca before they will be permitted entrance to the Expo Center:
- All alpacas must be micro-chipped and ARI registered. The microchip number shall identify all alpacas on all health documents.
- A Certificate of Veterinary Inspection (abbreviated CVI, sometimes incorrectly called a 'health certificate') issued less than 30 days
prior to THE LAST DAY OF THE SHOW; The CVI must include the alpaca’s ARI name, microchip number, and state the alpaca has been tested
negative for BVDV. All alpacas entering the show grounds (including companion animals) must show proof of a negative PCR or VI test for
BVD. Test results and Accession # must be on the certificate of veterinary inspection. Alpacas shall not be allowed into the show area
until the test results and the microchip# have been validated.
- For alpacas traveling into Oregon an import permit issued by the ODA office (For a permit, the veterinarian or clinic staff calls 503-986-4679.)
Although we will have microchip readers at veterinary check-in, it is the alpaca owner’s responsibility to bring a microchip reader that is
compatible with the microchips in their alpacas. Remember fresh batteries.
All Alpacas, including companion animals, will be required to be checked in by the on-site vets. SOJAA strongly recommends that all alpacas
brought to the event be treated with an appropriate anthelmintic (de-worming medication such as Ivermectin or Panacur) based on results of
fecal examination within 21 days of the event.
After Vet check, please proceed to Color/compliance check where you will receive your registration packet.
