At the January 2012 winter meeting, SPPGA adopted a policy on dogs at the SPPGA goat shows. There is a hold harmless agreement that all exhibitors sign and the following language about dogs will be added following the existing language and before the exhibitor's signature:
I further agree to keep all dogs on a leash outside the barn area and away from the goat pens and arena.
Please also advise friends that come to visit with you and watch the show about doing the same with their dogs. We all love our dogs but there is just something about goats and strange dogs that tends to cause many of the goats to be frightened.
