FOX SHOWS. 
The chief value of a fox exhibit or show (Fig. 45). whether State, 
national, or international, lies in the educational features which pre- 
sent standards of excellence to the fox ranchers and the public. The 
educational value depends largely upon two things: (1) The classi- 
fication of the animals to be exhibited, and (2) the judgment of the 
officials who pass upon their merits. These two factors are entirely 
dependent upon each other in presenting the lessons which an exhibi- 
tion should teach. To be successful, fox shows must have the support 
of the breeders individually and of their associations.
