| Addiction + registration rant OK, I don't even have a Yorkie yet and I'm getting addicted. It was kind of a dead give-away when I ordered new return address labels with a Yorkie picture on it! It comes from lurking around on here too much I do believe. In many ways, I would enjoy considering a rescue, but I want to do rally. That means the dog needs to be AKC registered. Is there any way around that that you know of? It just doesn't seem fair to all the wonderful dogs out there (not just Yorkies) who would do great in sporting events who can't participate. At least in my area, events are all AKC. Love this forum. I'm really learning a lot. |

| Check with the AKC because they have a new program where even mixed breeds can be registered to be involved with agility and other events

| If it's a purebred, you can get an ILP # even if they aren't AKC registered. This allows them to compete in things such as agility and rally, but not conformation. So, you could get a rescue. |

| Thanks! This is great. I wasn't aware of this option. It would rule out the mixes or even poor quality purebreds I would assume since they want photos, but here is what AKC says: Purebred Alternative Listing/Indefinite Listing Privilege Giving all purebred dogs a chance to compete The AKC, PAL/ILP and You Many people have discovered the fun of teaming up with their dogs and competing in AKC Events. But, not all of those wonderful canine athletes that you see at these events are registered with the AKC. Some might be enrolled in the AKC's Purebred Alternative Listing/Indefinite Listing Privilege (PAL/ILP), a program that allows unregistered dogs of registrable breeds to compete in AKC Performance and Companion Events, also 41 specific breeds in the FSSŪ Program that are eligible for Companion Events. If you have a purebred dog that cannot be registered with the AKC and have a desire to see what your dog can do in real competition, a PAL/ILP number is your ticket to the world of AKC events and clubs! Purebred Alternative Listing/Indefinite Listing Privilege (PAL/ILP): The program that provides purebred dogs a second chance. There are various reasons why a purebred dog might not be eligible for registration. The dog may be the product of an unregistered litter, or have unregistered parents. The dog's papers may have been withheld by its breeder or lost by its owner. Sometimes, it is the dog itself that was "lost." There are many dogs enrolled in the PAL/ILP program after they have been surrendered or abandoned, then adopted by new owners from animal shelters or purebred rescue groups. The PAL/ILP program allows the dog and owner a second chance at discovering the rewards of participating in AKC events. What AKC events may a PAL/ILP dog Participate in? The Purebred Alternative Listing Program/Indefinite Listing Privilege (PAL/ILP) is designed to allow dogs to participate in AKC Companion and Performance Events. The AKC Events that a PAL/ILP dog can participate in are: Agility Trials (All Breeds) Earthdog Trials (Small Terriers and Dachshunds) Herding Tests and Trials ( Herding Breeds, Rottweilers and Samoyeds) Hunt Tests (Most Sporting Breeds and Standard Poodles) Junior Showmanship (All Breeds) Lure Coursing (Sighthounds) Obedience Trials (All Breeds) Rally Trials (All Breeds) Tracking Tests (All Breeds) Once enrolled in the PAL/ILP program, entering AKC events is as easy as with a registrable dog. The only difference is that instead of an AKC registration number, you would list the dog's PAL/ILP number on the Entry form. How can you apply for a PAL/ILP number? Applications for enrollment into the Purebred Alternative Listing/Indefinite Listing Privilege can be downloaded or by emailing PAL@akc.org. When requesting a form via email please include your name and current mailing address. Remember, PAL/ILP numbers can only be issused to AKC registrable breeds. The following must be submitted with a completed PAL/ILP application: Two recent and clear color photographs of the dog; <ul> one full front view showing the facial characteristics of the dog; one view showing the full side profile of the dog standing on a flat surface (not grass). </ul> (ALL PHOTOS SHOULD BE TAKEN AT EYE LEVEL IN A STANDING POSITION, INCLUDE THE WHOLE DOG IN THE PHOTO. DO NOT SHOOT DOWN ON THE DOG.) Proof from a veterinarian that the dog has been spayed/neutered. A non-refundable $35.00 application fee. Once compiled, the completed PAL/ILP application along with the items listed above should be mailed to: The American Kennel Club/PAL/ILPEnrollment in the Purebred Alternative Listing/Indefinite Listing Privilege program is not to be construed as an alternative form of registration, but rather, as a listing so that dogs who are ineligible for AKC registration may participate in AKC Companion and Performance Events. A PAL/ILP may be cancelled for cause. For more information or questions about the PAL/ILP program contact PAL@akc.org. |
