I spoke to AKC @ the Events Planning today , and they are permitting us to change our Entry Fees on our show that have been approved for 2008...... Also please note that the fees to Specialty clubs for the application to hold a show have doubled......Conformation & Obedience is now $50. each or 100.00 per day(it was $50.00 per day) Rally is also $100.00 per day(was $50.00) Our show expense for the weekend has increased by $200.00 plus $1.50 per dog recording fee and $3.00 per second entry WHAT A JUMP IN EXPENSES IN ONE YEAR!

I believe that what they are claiming is that it costs a lot more to administer an event than they charge the clubs...and the AKC eats the rest. In truth, if AKC would reduce the value of the golden parachutes theyve got for themselves, and not waste money on some of the idiot field reps, we wouldn't be seeing all these new breeds, new rules, and new fees................(or new values, either).
