The American Ferret Association is an organization devoted to the health and welfare of ferrets. We are offering this one and a half day educational symposium geared to the experienced ferret breeder, the novice ferret breeder, and even those considering breeding ferrets in the not so distant future.

The highly coveted AFA Ferret of the Year award celebrates the best of the best from within the AFA show system. Ferret of the Year is awarded to the top ferret in each of four AFA title classes as determined by 2007 show competition. The following are the ferrets ranked number one in the nation for their respective classes.

In response to a breeder surrender of approximately 600 intact ferrets, the AFA created the DMK Rescue Spay/Neuter Fund. This Fund was initiated with a $2,500 contribution from the AFA. The AFA wishes to extend its gratitude to those individuals and organizations who've so generously donated to this fund. To date, donations from the ferret community have resulted in an additional $2,151.75, bringing the Fund total to $4,651.75.
