I want to compete but my dog doesn't have papers! (ILP/PAL)
The AKC has the answer for you. It's called the Purebred Alternative Listing/Indefinite Listing Privilege. So, what does this mean and what do you need to do? First of all, what does this get you? The opportunity to compete in AKC: Agility Trials Herding Tests and Trials ( Herding Breeds, Rottweilers and Samoyeds) Junior Showmanship (All Breeds) Obedience Trials (All Breeds) Rally Trials (All Breeds) Tracking Tests (All Breeds) How? (I quote): Once enrolled in the PAL/ILP program, entering AKC events is as easy as with a registrable dog. The only difference is that instead of an AKC registration number, you would list the dog's PAL/ILP number on the Entry form. OK, so how do I apply already? You can download the application form and instructions at: http://www.akc.org/pdfs/ilpform.pdf The dog in question must fulfill the following requirements: • Dogs must be distinguishable as a purebred dog of a breed the AKC recognizes (that includes OES, so we're good there) • Dogs must be at least 6 months of age. • Dogs must be spayed or neutered. • Neither this dog nor its parents are identified anywhere else as a breed other than that stated on the application. What do you need to submit? - A completed application - Two recent color pictures as described on the application - A spay/neuter certificate or a statement from your vet that the dog in question is desexed - As of today, a (non-refundable) check for $35.00 Oh, and start thinking up a registration name. You have up to 30 characters (including blanks) to do so. That means, don't just try to register the dog as "Bella" or "Dazzle" or "Garfunkel" (that's his or her call name) but why not have some fun with it? A friend ILP'd her rescue OES as Salty Dawgs Sadie Hawkins. Her girl's call name is Sadie (though the registered name need not contain the dog's call name. My Sybil, non-ILP, is for example Masquerade Must Be Madness.) And my friend is a sailing afficionado. I suppose you could say that Salty Dawg is her "rescue kennel name". Just like Sybil's breeder breeds under the kennel prefix "Masquerade" Think ahead! If you tend to adopt dogs and think there's a chance you may feel inclined to ILP others in the future, why not come up with your own distinct "kennel name"? You don't have to. Another person registered her OES rescue as It's a Mad Mattie World, call name Mattie . And then there is the famous "Murphy's Law Unleashed . Your call. Oh, and to read more about these two illustrious dogs ,as well as a rescue OES who does agility, see http://www.performanceoes.com/rescue.html More questions? Ask! Kristine |

| Gosh...Kristine...I got Pearl's ILS last year... It was very easy and painless and you can expidite it if you need it quickly!!!
I didn't know I could be 'creative' with her name......!!!!!!~~~~~~ 
HERE is a question for you!!! Can I change Pearl's name on her ILP or is it too late??? I would love to give her a very regal distinctive name, but then, that would mean another thread to help me~~~  |
| I'd have to check but I'm pretty sure since Ms Pearl is a TITLED OES, it's too late.
The AKC changed this somewhat within the last few years in regards to regular registrations, at least. Not sure about ILPs. The rule, I believe, is that as long as the dog has not earned any legs or points or anything that has been noted by the AKC, the breeder (at least, not sure about owner, but it's possible) has the right to change the registered name. This is for situations like say breeder A sells a puppy to owner B. Breeder A's kennel name is Majestic. Owner B registers the dog (a miracle in itself if the dog was sold as a pet ) as Mister Fluffybottom. When the dog is a year old, the owner decides to return the dog to the breeder. The dog is still intact. The breeder realizes that this was the dog she should have kept in the first place, he's stunning! (In the real world luck would have it his gonads would already have been chopped off, but work with me here  ) He hasn't been shown yet (so no points) so she pays a fee to have his registered name changed to Majestic something or other, to indicate she bred him, she's a serious breeder, and she's proud of him.
This way when he goes on to go Best in Show at Westminster and becomes the most used stud dog in the history of the breed she doesn't have to refer to him as BIS Champion Mister Fluffybottom and want to hide herself in a closet as she does so
Or something like that. There is precedent in our breed. One of the most titled if not the most titled performance OES in the history of the breed was a Londonaire bitch named Brooke. Or Ch Brooke (plus too many titles to remember). Since her owner didn't realize her breeder, Karen Stetler, may, presumably have preferred to have her kennel name on her, she just registered her as what she named her. Now, for those of us do performance, we all know Karen bred her, but still. It was an honest mistake on the part of her owner. But this is why some breeders get persnickety (me included) and insist on filling out the registered name themselves on a puppy's registration application that goes to the new owner. Not to say the new owner can't white it out and put something simply horrible there Which is why some breeders go a step further and register the puppies themselves.
Were you able to register Pearl as just Pearl? No roman numerals or anything? Kristine |
| yep!!! Just Pearl....ya know....breeder:::unknown...Parents::: unknown.....etc........oh well!! no big deal..
after all she IS just my Pearl, girl~~~~~~~
  |
| Krisitine: If the dog so much as gets a placement in a class, such as 4th in the open bitch class (with 3 others competing) or such as 1st in the open bitch class (with no others competing) then you can NOT change the name.
Been there & done that with one of our bitches who never got a point & never beat another dog or bitch.....at the time. |
| ACK!
Thanks for the clarification. So basically dog must never have competed in anything. Makes sense now that I think about it. Kristine |
| Val - I made an error in Simon's ILP (my mistake and I had the papers back and even had a leg or to towards our RN). and they let me change it.
We use Alice Acres, as it is our farm named based on the lake of the same name behind our farm. Simon is ILP'd and he is Alice Acres Simon Says Riley is going to be Alice Acres Life of Riley Chewie is Masquerade Alice Acres Madness |
| Dawn: Might be different if you made an error in the name when registering as you mentioned & it is quite logical. In our case we got a dog back & wanted to change the name entirely. |
| Thanks, Dawn...!! I think I is worth an email to see if it can be changed..... |
| Val, let us know what they say, please.
Dawn, what did you do? Misspell Simon? 
I remember Marnie telling me that when she registered Polo he came back something like: <switsfr <pmphts< Turns out whomever typed it in at the AKC was off one letter on the keyboard and apparently not checking his or her work. They fixed it for her without charge, but I think she had to send in a copy of the registration application to prove that she hadn't intended to register the dog that way

Funny, you are jokers.... 
No - I actually ended up with his registration coming back as just "Simon" - like Pearl is. I was not paying attention filling out the form. I was thinking for some odd reason they wanted call name and didn't look back to realize they never asked for "registered name"...duh... when they asked for NAME I was supposed to fill in the whole name. Like AKC even cares what a dog's call name is! 
I already had him entered in a trial, the catalog comes out as "Simon" and I'm really mad at myself. I contacted AKC and explained my mistake and they fixed it, as well as transfered that 1st RN leg to the "correct" name. I can't remember if they had me fill out a new form or not, or how they fixed it, but it was done. If a fee was involved, it wasn't much. Good luck! |
