with the objects and interest of both the AKC breed ParentClub and the AKC. If standards, on the other hand, are sosimilar as to be practically identical as opposed to describ-ing significantly different dogs, judging these specialty eventswould appear to be supporting events in conflict with AKCevents, just for the sake of supporting them.There are a number of cases where AKC admitted new breedsin spite of significant opposition by proponents of thosebreeds. In some cases, accreditation involved AKC workingwith a breed club that sought AKC registration, while an-other club opposed it, seeking to remain independent, whichwas it prerogative.AKC believes that it has an obligation, as do its approved judges, to fully and exclusively support the club that is theAKC Parent Club. AKC respects the right of any other clubto remain independent and to maintain its own registry. How-ever, AKC has no obligation to actively support such orga-nizations by having its approved judges officiate at theirevents. It is also under no obligation to approve as judgesthose individuals who wish to maintain a significant inter-est, as defined by the policy, in organizations that wish toremain independent from and in competition with the AKCbreed Parent Club.

Overall, I found the overall lack of quality in dogs very con-cerning . Bitchclasses were much more competitive.I would like to encourage miniature breeders to contact mein connection with any news, concerns, etc. Whatevertroubles you or what you would like to share with others iswelcome and will be treated with as much discretion as youdesire. I am here to help in any way I can, and I need yourinput in order to be as effective as possible in my capacityas Miniature Poodle Representative. Please keep in mindthat as a whole, there is a lot to be accomplished in ourvariety, and much can be achieved by sharing our knowl-edge and experiences.Additionally, I see myself as a sounding board, anxious tohear about your desires and concerns, your ideas concern-ing how this club can best serve you . In this regard ,I wouldlike to hear from all members, not only miniature breedersand fanciers.I can be reached by e-mail @ aizcorbel@bellsouth.net
