Welcome USACTC Members from the AKC
I would like to take the opportunity to welcome the USACTC as the Parent Club for the Coton de Tulear as approved by the AKC Board of Directors at the April Meeting.
Staff looks forward to working with you as you become more familiar with AKC procedures and AKC Events.
Staff is currently working with the Officers of the USACTC on the voluntary submission of dogs from the USACTC registry to the AKC Foundation Stock Service®.
The breed is currently eligible to compete in AKC Companion Events, which includes Obedience, Rally and Agility. Members have already been competing very successfully in these events earning many titles. To be eligible to compete in AKC events, your dog must be enrolled in the AKC Foundation Stock Service®.

What can I do with my dog in the interim?
The breed is eligible to compete in an AKC Sanctioned Match; you are eligible to compete in AKC Obedience, Rally and Agility. The club is encouraged to participate in the Meet the Breed Events being held by the AKC in New York City in November as well as in conjunction with the AKC Eukanuba National Championship in December in Orlando Florida. Many All Breed Clubs will be holding events for Responsible Dog Ownership Day in September which may also offer Meet the Breed opportunities.
-
What can I do to learn more about AKC and AKC Events?
The AKC Web site is your first resource for information. It is at times daunting as there is a great deal of information. It is also recommended that you become familiar with AKC All Breed shows, attend local shows, sign up with the Superintendent in your area to be on the mailing list. Join your local All Breed Club to learn more about how shows are held. You can find shows in your area by using the club search on the AKC Web Site.
