Disclaimer
We make every attempt to properly sex babies before they leave CRC however, we can NOT always be 100% accurate. Babies younger than 4 months of age can be VERY difficult to sex and yes, we have been wrong. PLEASE re-sex your babies BEFORE you show them or enter them in ANY fair to help omit the possiblity of being disqualifed from the show due to WRONG SEX. Trust us, it has happened more time than you know and even to us!
