I agree with Melissa - it may just be the wording or formatting of the rules though. It specifically says per the post "There shall be no benching, nor offering for sale or breeding, nor any displaying of unentered dogs." It doesn't say anything about entered dogs. This would eliminate having puppies for sale on the show grounds which I think is the big concern of the AKC.

I'd forgotten the rule about unentered dogs...was thinking more of stud dogs available, etc.........or youngsters being shown. Yet, there have been unentered dogs walking around every single show I've been to in the past 30 years and never once has the AKC stepped in, nor have I ever seen anyone published in the Gazette for being reprimanded or fined for such a thing....now, I guess, tho, we can expect an AKC rep to be looking for such dogs at the National.
