Master Breeder
The Judging Board of the IFGA instituted, at their annual meeting in November 2004, a "Master Breeder" designation for those people who have shown through winning on a consistent basis over several years and contributed to the IFGA and to the hobby by serving unselfishly. This achievement is difficult to attain and should be held in the highest regard.
If you would like to apply for Master Breeder status please see the section below on criteria to become a master breeder.
