Effective January 1, 2011, all AKC judges will pay an annual $50.00 maintenance fee plus $5.00 per breed the first year (2011). Starting the second year (2012), the per breed portion of the fee will be $10.00 per year ++++++++++++++++++++++++ How interesting- I would now have to Pay AKC $55 for giving up 2-3 days of my life to judge for free? What would I get from this annual fee- a judges newsletter a few times a year. - it is not nice to bite the hand that feeds you Sally ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2010.
