Amy, I just went to the AKC website and read their minutes which is exactly what you wrote, however I am not sure when the last time a Regional Club was heavily subsidized as AKC is suggesting. That is going to hurt a lot of the clubs I am sure. Mike Gray Effective January 1, 2008, the Event Service Fee for all events is to be $3.00 for the first entry of each dog. Effective January 1, 2008 there will be an Event Service Fee of $3.00 for each additional entry of the same dog, except for Field Trials and Hunting Tests which will be $1.50 effective January 1, 2008, and $3.00 effective January 1, 2009. All Recording Fees remain at their present levels. The intent of these fees is to defray costs of administering events, which AKC is very heavily subsidizing.
