Found out about an ILP (see explanation below, for those like me that had never heard of it) from someone at the rescue when she heard that Kiah and I are continuing obedience classes and want to get our CGC. Has anyone who has rescued or have dogs without papers tried this?
Liz, I am sure you know about it; is this a good thing to do? I am not sure where we want to go after the classes but I was thinking of agility at first but Kiah doesn't seem to have taken to it. We had a small agility setup at obedience class for the dogs to get a feel of it. It could be that she was so distracted with all the other dogs around. Kiah is also really friendly so someone also suggested that we might try to get certified as a therapy dog after seeing if she does really well in her classes.
Indefinite Listing Privilege
Dogs of any breed recognized by the AKC that do not have registration papers or known parents may qualify for an Indefinite Listing Privilege (ILP). ILP dogs may participate in certain AKC events, such as obedience, agility, tracking and many performance events. Photos are required to prove the dog is a registrable breed. The dog must be spayed or neutered. For information about the ILP program, visit the ILP section on the AKC web site, or e-mail questions to [email protected].
