Welcome to another year at MIAF.  The show registration system we've used in previous years is back on line. You can now register for the MIAF show by clicking on the On Line Registration menu link above.

The first step in registration is creating an account, some of you may have accounts from previous years. If you have trouble logging in with your old account information, first try the "Forgot Password" link on the login page, this will email you your account information.  If that does not work, then create a new account or contact Greg Croasdill at gregc (at) annarboralpacas.com and he'll reset your account for you.

The online forms have been tested (really), but you'll need javascript turned on if you want the registration fees totalled for you.  If you are having problems with the on line forms or can not use them for some reason, please visit our Off Line registration page

Full Fleece or Shorn?  Your alpaca's fiber will be measured at check-in to place them in the correct class.  Just take your best guess.

Thank you and I look forward to seeing you all soon!

Show Supervisor

This year AOBA will be requiring BVDV testing for all alpacas entering the building.  Please consult with your vet to insure that testing is done before the show.

A Negative PCR test or VI test for BVDV (Bovine Viral Diarrhea Virus) will be required for each alpaca entering the facility, in addition to other health requirements.  Microchips will be checked, and all health papers should include animal name, ARI registration # and microchip numbers. Test NOW to ensure that testing is completed in time for MIAF.

AOBA Certified Shows occurring  require all alpacas to be identified with a microchip. This means every alpaca that is transported to an AOBA Certified show for any reason (i.e. show entrants, companions, auction alpacas, alpacas being transported and using the show venue as a stop off point, etc) must be identified with a microchip.

You must make sure that the proper micochip number appears on the Certificate of Veterinary Inspection (i.e. Health Papers) and transportation documents. Animals without this identification will not be allowed to enter the venue.
