Nah.  It's roughly the equivalent of 1 entry fee (actually it's $5-7  less 
than an entry fee locally).  I can't say I'd see anyone in a big  kennel taking 
a dog out of their show line up for that.   
 
Maybe they'd consider waiving for Juniors, veterans or exhibition  classes.
 
I must say I find the cause a little odd.  If breeders want to  freeze/sore a 
certain dog's semen, shouldn't that be up to  the individual  breeders in 
that breed?  Why would the entire fancy have to support w/  THEIR dollars????  
What a mess that will be to control and to administer  equitably...not only 
that, but different breeds have different success rates  using frozen, most of 
us 
have a "favorite" fertility guru (good ones are far and  few between), for all 
of these reasons, I don't see it getting past jump.
 
Now, if they wanted $25 per dog per year for some of the AKC adds I've seen  
over the last year promoting breeders and pure bred dogs, I'm in.
 
The article incorrectly stated that the blip was in the  January 2009  
minutes.  It actually showed up in the December 2008 minutes. If you  actually 
read 
those, the AKC, like everything else in this economy is  hurting.  They have 
to raise their revenue somehow.  So, I don't mind  the fee, just question what 
it will be used for.
 
Actually, it bothers me a whole lot less than the bailouts and (NON!)  
stimulus package, lol.

If this  passes, it will seriously impact the big kennels who show multiple
