good standing with the currently required minimum

each individual Affiliate Club for their referral

Eligibility Requirements to Hold Future Dog Shows
The new AKC requirements were included in the most
recent Bulletin. If you have not reviewed them
please go to the Bulletin and read them through.
It has been brought to my attention that there is
a piece missing from that information and that is
the Statement of Compliance. The AKC will require
that a Statement of Compliance be submitted with
each application for any show held after January
1, 2009. The Statement of Compliance can be found
at
HERE and is to be completed and signed by a
Club officer.
If you have additional questions please feel free
to contact me either by email or phone.
