Well, as is so often the case, AKC made a pronouncement that wasn't thought
all the way through.
Now, after being questioned, the AKC has released this statement:
"I have received clarification from AKC on the new "drug" policy added to
the ban on foreign substances in dogs' coats. The drug policy prohibits the
use of drugs which alter a dog's appearance, temperament or movement, and
will
be complaint-driven, requiring supporting veterinary records. Judges are
not
expected to make the determination. The banned substances do not include
such
items as thyroid medication, joint supplements, vitamins, etc."
In other words, we're back to business as usual.
