Dear Pete,

Thank you for seeking information about foreign registration.  These dogs may be

entered on their foreign numbers and exhibited for upto thirty days.  If the owners

wish to continue to show the dogs after the initial 30 days either an extension may

be obtained or the dog must be AKC Registered.  A Dog will not be granted an AKC

title until the dog is AKC Registered.  The owners may submit a foreign dog application

with a foreign address.

I am happy to assist any individuals who might attend these shows with registering

their dogs with AKC.  Please have them forward all completed paperwork directly to me:

Mari-Beth O'Neill

or scan and email it to me at  mbo@akc.org

The Foreign Dog Application can be found on the AKC Web Site:

All the best for the New Year!

Mari-Beth O'Neill

Good afternoon,

I see on the FAQ page (http://www.akc.org/events/conformation/faqs.cfm) that foreign

dogs for 30 days.  Does this apply only to dogs being imported into the US or does

this also apply for visitors attending with the intention of attending a Specialty

on Friday and the possibility of the AKC shows on Saturday & Sunday?

The reason for asking...

Our 2009 Specialty will have a very well known international judge (he judged our

breed at the 2008 FCI World Dog Show).  He has also been approved to judge several

breeds during the AKC shows on Saturday & Sunday.  As a result, we have the possibility

of attracting a few European owners/fanciers and I'd like to ensure we give them the

correct information up front.

Should any potential attendees apply for AKC registration numbers?  Or is this only

necessary if they plan to attend future shows after the 30 day window?

Can they apply for AKC #s with a foreign address?

Thanks!
Pete Rousseau
