The akc does collect a fee per entry, it's been awhile since I've been involved in the detail accounting end of the show. That fee used to be. .50cents. If it is still that price, perhaps what you seeing is a proposal to increase to $1.00.? M No, the AKC charges a per entry fee per dog and it varies from Breed, Rally, Agility, Herding etc. ($1-$3) You'll see the disclosure in the premium list and after the show the secretary sends the AKC a check. They check your math, check your judges book, send a handful of papers back with an application for the following year's show and that show is marked "closed.) There is also a fee paid ($50-$100) when a club applies to hold a show, trail, etc. Kathy member GSDCA, DVGSDC three generations of Dual Titled TC'd Champions live here! visit _Pine Hill German Shepherd Dogs_ (http://www.geocities.com/pinehillgsds/) ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2006.
