It's been announced by the AKC that mixed breeds have been accepted for participation into AKC Companion events under limited provisions. These events include agility, obedience and rally.
For complete details on the ruling, go to:
http://images.akc.org/pdf/MixedBreedProgramDetails.pdf
A summary of the provisions:
-- Mixed breeds would be allowed to earn "similar titles. Basically, the same titles for purebred dogs, except the title would be followed by an "M", e.g MACH-M (Master Agility Champion Mixed Breed), OTCH-M, RAE-M.
- Mixed breeds can compete in stand-alone trials, but not specialties, all-breed (conformation) show or group show.
- Mixed breeds are not allowed to participate in tracking or breed specific sports, such as earthdog and lure coursing.
- Mixed breeds can be shown in the same ring and under the same judge as purebred participants, but in a separate class.
- Dogs competing in Mixed Breed classes are not eligible for national championship and invitational events.
- Registration is $35 and is similar to the ILP/PAL program in the UKC.
