Today,
October 1st, AKC
launches its new mixed-breed
program. Mixed-breed owners can begin enrolling their dogs to receive
special benefits from AKC. The AKC Canine Partners listing will not only
allow enrollees to participate in AKC stand-alone Agility, Obedience,
and Rally events, but will include special offers that benefit both
owners and their dogs, including a lifetime enrollment in AKC CAR’s Lost
& Found recovery service (which includes a custom AKC collar tag) and a
one-year subscription to AKC Family
Dog magazine. Plus, enrollees will receive a personalized and
frameable AKC Canine Partners Certificate of Recognition and a special
AKC Canine Partners decal.
The AKC Canine
Partners listing application will be available both online and
on
paper (paper application is now
available
online in the downloadable forms section -
http://www.akc.org/pdfs/mixedBreed/ADM001.pdf).
AKC Events with Mixed-Breed Classes
AKC has received a lot
of interest from clubs to hold mixed-breed classes! In fact, prior to
program launch, approximately 50 clubs have already submitted event
applications for events with mixed breeds. Exhibitors can search for
events offering mixed-breed classes within AKC Event Search. To narrow
their search, they are to click “mixed breed classes” under the
Obedience/Agility/Rally tab. Please note that mixed-breed classes will
be available for events held on or after April 1, 2010.
