Travis Finkle Judges Cavies and the Rare Breed Rabbit Show at Vallejo

Judge Travis Finkle travels from Maryland to California to judge at Vallejo.   The cavy show at Vallejo has high entries, 250 per show.

Travis judged Angoras at the 2022 ARBA convention at Reno and 2025 ARBA convention at Indianapolis.     It is a proof that he is proficient in judging Angoras and also well-respected by us wool exhibitors.

In 2009, Travis received his cavy judge's license and he has been appointed by the ARBA president as the chair of the Cavy Standard Committee.  That is the highest honor for any judge.  Congratulations, Travis. 

Double cavy shows at Vallejo, the other judge is Sheryl Newland from Washington.
