New AKC Items Coming Jan 1

[ClantyreSheltie]

I hope we can find the official language for this because I'm planning on entering a trial in February (the trial opens for entries January 2) to try and finish Edan's AX and AXJ. If I can run him Preferred in that trial without loosing what I've already accomplished I'd be much happier. If not, I'll finish his AX and AXJ in Regular to be safe.

I don't think it means you are going to be able to title with a combination of preferred and regular. I think it means once you get the regular title, you can move laterally to preferred without starting over. So once you get the AXJ title, you can move to ExcB/Masters in Preferred.

We'll see what the language actually says when it comes out. I suspect there are going to be lots of legs disallowed from the confusion.

Thanks for that bit of information, Rachel. It actually makes sense that you can't mix Regular and Preferred runs towards a title. I only need 1 more Q in ExA Std and JWW for the AX and AXJ so it's not a big deal. As much as I'd like to run Ex FAST, I may hold off on starting that class until I find out if/when they are going to allow the moves between classes.

Heck, with ExB/Masters if I'm only a leg or two into that class I'd be willing to give up those Q's and start ExB/Masters over in Preferred. I just don't want to start over from Novice which I think is absolutely silly.

Well, that form isn't going to work for 5 day trials like the Belgian Tervuren in Silverado.

LOL. Didn't think about that. I guess that's when you fill out their forms.

Is this public info?
I haven't seen anything official yet.

I was going to say, I didn't think this part was public, just something that they're trying to do. They were aiming for Jan 1, but due to computer issues (probably programming it), it may be pushed back some.
