*** ATTENTION GDCA AFFILIATE CLUBS! ***

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.
