Our club holds two very popular matches per year; however, they are FUN matches, not sanctioned matches as written in the new requirements. The other issue that is unclear is the wording around CGC. The requirements state, "2 - A AKC Canine Good CitizenR Test Clubs may hold a AKC Canine Good Citizen Test." We've had certified GCG testers hold tests at our matches, but I don't believe we are an AKC Canine Good Citizen Test Club. Any thoughts...?

As I understand it........this begins in 2008!! Some of our Clubs are barely hanging on............now this........... Carolyn marhaven@xxxxxxx _www.marhaven.com_ (http://www.marhaven.com) Yes, we saw it. We're fine, but it's important to know that smaller clubs, YOU HAVE TO HOLD YOUR MATCHES. You can throw in CGC, hold an educational meeting, keep a breeder referral on your web site and you're well on your way to satisfying everything.....
