Boy, I hate to be wrong and I just went back and read what it says about the "New Mixed Breed Program" and I have to stick by what I said. It says the program begins October 1st 2009 and that mixed breed owners can list their dogs with AKC's New Mixed Breed Program. It goes on to say that the cost is $35, dogs must be spay/neutered, and dogs in the program will be given an ID number, etc. It says that in Phase 1 that dogs registering will recieve a Certificate (A), (B) A Competition Card with their ID number that will "allow" them to compete now in Agaility and etc. But I don't necessarily take that to mean that they HAVE TO COMPETE. Maybe I'm wrong?? (C) is that you get access to the AKC Community of people that love and support anything dog. (D) And affiliation with groups that fight anti dog ownership legislation and so forth. I'm only 50% sure I'm reading it right but I just don't have the time (nor care) to ask AKC staff for sure what their new program is about for sure. I'd feel a little stupid with my question too, lol. You'd think the answers would be black and white clear! LOL 50% chance you're right too! Peggy
