Showing Dogs from the US and Other Countries - Some AKC rules have recently changed.  Here are the current Rules: 
1. For dogs from the US, they must have a permanent registration by the start date of the show or they cannot be entered. (not their puppy litter application)
2. Dogs that are registered in a foreign country (all countries have the same rule) can enter a US show using their foreign registration number. But, you must register the dog with the AKC within 30 days of the beginning date of the first show.  If not, you will loose any show points or titles you have earned in that 30 days.
   A. For show purposes only, you will need to fill out the AKC form for a foreign application, submit two pictures of the dog, submit a copy of the certified pedigree in your name from the country the dog is registered in.  The AKC will also need proof that the dog is physically in the US by submitting a copy of the show records or a veterinarian statement on their letterhead stating that they saw the dog on a certain date, dog's name and tattoo number/microchip.  The Fee is $50. 
   B. I spoke with the AKC today, the same rules apply for show as well as if you are wanting to enter field and performance events.
