The link below will take you to the survey.


The American Kennel Club Board and Staff are currently considering ways to
attract and retain participants in the conformation sport. The objective is
to consider changes which will result in a better experience for Clubs,
exhibitors, and the general public. The goals are to improve entries, level
of participation, and, in turn, the financial performance of our show giving
Clubs. The information you provide will be summarized and be presented to
the Board of Directors in August.

As active members of the dog fancy you understand the challenges the
conformation sport is facing and we are sure you have ideas on how to
improve our sport. What we seek are ideas.ideas on how to improve the
conformation show, thoughts on how to attract new people into the sport,
and ways to attract the general public to shows so they can learn what
purebred dogs are and why purposely bred dogs are important.

We have divided this request into 3 parts.shows, new exhibitors, and the
general public. We are asking you to provide you ideas. as brief and
concise as possible in these three areas. You do not have to complete all
three sections.just the area(s) where you have a point of view. While
contact information is not required it would be helpful in case follow up is
needed to better understand an idea. All input will reported anonymously
and it is recognized, due to the short timeframe, that your views are not
necessarily those of your Club.
