Titles and Events
Welcome to our Events and Activities Chapter. Please take a few minutes and explore
the many activities our membership is involved in.


AKC Participation at an all time high!
Date: 5.1.09
Please note that this report is specific to AKC event participation.

The ISAA entered the Misc Class July 1, 2008.

24 unique dogs competed in Misc Conformation Events
Those 24 dogs participated in 52 different Conformation Events

19 unique ISDs competed in companion events.

Our membership is participating MORE in conformation events than in companion events, 56% in
AKC conformation events and 44% in AKC companion events.

77 new titles have been awarded to those competing in companion events. Zero conformation
titles have been earned as no titles can be earned in conformation until we go to full AKC
acceptance.

According to the AKC, we "are in very good shape ... for the size of our breed, those are very
good numbers."

While this report is only addressing our participation in AKC events, AKC wants our quarterly
reports to include participation in all conformation and companion events. This is because, "it is
more important to record overall activity." This calendar year, we have already exceeded last year’
s participation numbers, year to date, as previously reported according to Titles and Events guy,
Spike Williamson. Club activity is at an all time high.

_________________________________

As of 5.18.09, we have already recorded almost 60% of the totals earned last calendar year for
new titles and events attended. While these are excellent statistics regarding increased member
participation, we know that the actual numbers are much higher and expect an additional
substantial return following our ISAA National and Chapter Event.

We strongly encourage those who are participating in events to report that information to the T&E
Chair, Kathryn Ananda-Owens at isaabod@gmail.com.

The collection of this information makes it possible for us to move closer to our goal of full AKC
acceptance. It is also great fun to see what our friends, both four and two legged are up to so that
