It was a few years ago when I called A.K.C. regarding this......but I was told at the time that they had no authority over C.K.C. shows and that C.K.C. rules had no authority at A.K.C. shows.....that since they were two different Countries and different Organizations the A.K.C. rules could not apply to C.K.C. shows as there is no possible way for either to police other Countries and Org. They did say that both Clubs advised against any "appearance" of impropriety. I don't understand why we each got two different responses??

Four months for simply handling, six if the handler boarded the dog as well. It is somewhat reciprocal - I spoke to CKC on this exact matter for someone only about 4 weeks ago. US judge, US handler and they come to Canada and either of the above rules is still in effect. My guess is that it slips under the carpet unless someone says something. I do have a current CKC book of dog show rules in PDF if anyone would like it...
