The question would then be, does the broken policy carry the same disciplinary action as a broken rule. If they do they are the same. If they do not they are not. Does that make any sense?

I have found that AKC considers a policy about as strong as a rule.

That said they consider it a touchy area so showing under your very best friend (and everyone knows it) is probably not such a good idea.

Her email is kmgraphic2@xxxxxxxx If anyone has nominated a letter and included all appropriate fees and a pedigree and NOT received an acknowledgement, he/she definitely needs to contact Diane. From our LEGISLATIVE LIAISON - Stormy Hope: "Senator Durbin, (D, IL)has introduced Senate Bill, S3424, , now known as PUPS, and I encourage ALL GSDCA members to read the bill in its entirety, to read the AKC alert, and to read the APHIS Animal Care Standards, And the USDA Animal Facts Sheet. All of these documents should be up on the GSDCA Legislative webpage early next week. The bill, if passed, will affect almost every GSDCA member, whether breeding litters, co-owning litters, or buying with a co-owner."
