It all began in 1884 when the American Kennel Club (AKC) was founded. From its beginning the AKC began to harness science and technology for the benefit of producing better purebred dogs. It wasn’t long before the AKC became recognized as a leader in breed knowledge, health and training for all dogs as the advocate for responsible dog ownership and the dog sport. Over these many years certain events brought about changes. One involved a response to breeders who asked for a tool which was later called the Limited Registration (LR). The idea for such a tool was approved by the AKC Board in June of 1988 and referred to the delegate body for consideration. The idea for this tool was first noted when breeders asked AKC to create a tool that would address the registration of pups with disqualifications, serious faults and/or health problems. They needed a way to protect the gene pool of their breed.

Being a Show Chairman is a big job, and in many ways is reminiscent of trying to herd cats in order to put on a dog show. Heading up a group of volunteers is tough enough–getting them to all work together to produce a large event with contracts, venue, parking, motorhomes, vendors, stewards, judges, superintendents, AKC, and of course exhibitors all needing various levels of attention at various stages of the months-long process is a huge undertaking. Add to that a hard deadline and a mountain of paperwork, plus long days of non-stop work during the actual show weekend… phew!
