Dear Delegates,

For the past one hundred twenty five years, the American Kennel Club has been 
the nation's premier advocate for dogs and the people who love them. Today, we 
are delighted to tell you that AKC can now act even more broadly and 
effectively as the dog's champion. Our Board of Directors has voted unanimously 
to proceed with a program for mixed breed dogs. The creation of this program 
ushers in new opportunities for our constituencies, our clubs and our 
organization to grow and flourish in many ways.

Our goal in including mixed breeds in a specially designed system is to bring 
benefits to all those who share our passion for dogs and our sport.. Companion 
clubs will see opportunities to increase entries, attract new members and 
educate more people. AKC will broaden its legislative influence by representing 
more dog owners and achieve greater exposure for our responsible dog ownership 
messaging. Ultimately, the positive developments that this program creates will 
benefit dogs the most, and this is what we value above all.

Please take a moment to review the attached document which outlines the 
structure and details of the program. Your participation in this process has 
been invaluable, and we thank you and your members for playing an important 
role in this great accomplishment. Now, more than ever, we are the dog's 
champion.

Yours truly,



Ronald H. Menaker   Dennis B. Sprung
