LOL. Back in the 70s, my sister (a teenager) owned a Corgi mix who was really smart. She trained her through the Novice level. We went to a fun match and entered her, with aprroval of the match holders. She was NOT ILP registered. The club was told this but took te $$$$ anyway. She won Highest Scoring in the FUN MATCH, was awarded the rosette and trophy, and went home. A week later, we received a letter stating a mistake had been made, and since she was not purebred, we had to return the rosette and trophy. My mom wrote them a letter back and told them to stick that request where the sun don't shine. Sometimes, it is so sad how adults behave. I always thought that the BEST dog should win.

One person even said, "How would you feel if your pure-bred got beaten y a mutt!" Apparently, according to that person, our working dogs are NOT good nough to compete with the mixes, therefore, the implication is that the mixes ust be kept away!!
