The American Kennel Club
sanctions obedience competitions in three main levels - novice, open, and
utility. AKC obedience competitions are open to all AKC
recognized breeds of dogs, including those in the miscellaneous class.
Even if your dog is not AKC registered, your dog may be able to compete
under AKC's Indefinite Listing Privilege (ILP) program. The ILP
program is designed for dogs that appear close to purebred and are spayed
or neutered. You can find more information on AKC obedience and on
the ILP program at their web page:
