Recently, I went to a meeting for my specialty breed club at a long-established, local all-breed show. The show is held at a very comfortable air-conditioned place for our club members to show dogs and have our meeting during the summer. The club gets a major entry from us. We shop the vendors, have a bite to eat, and enjoy each other’s company. Even the parking exceeds expectations with plenty of nearby spaces in the shade. The venue is clean, bright, and has restrooms. All this seems absolutely perfect.

I bet you didn’t know that there are reams of booklets, links, and printed pages that cover every conceivable detail about all things AKC. If you’re a new owner of an AKC-registered dog, I know you’re so proud that you have “Papers” on “Fido.” I hope you have figured out that a pedigree listing their heritage is not the “papers” you really want and need. I’ll take a leap of faith and assume the breeder you bought your dog from either sat with you and had you sign the “blue slip” from the litter registration or at least provided you with it to send in on your own; and it included their signature as “breeder(s) of record”. In this techie era, one can do it online as well…but I do know that verifiable signatures are still required, and you have to choose a name for your new pup.

Exhibitors are talented at claiming conflicts of interests when it involves their competition, and denying any when it involves themselves. But what do the rules have to say about it? Technically, the Rules, Policies, and Guidelines for Conformation Dog Show Judges states, “A conflict of interest exists when a judge is influenced by any relationship or factor other than the merit of the dogs.” We all know that’s probably a bit broad and unenforceable, but some are well-defined and very enforceable. But not all are understood, especially by exhibitors. How well do you know your rules when it comes to conflicts of interest?
