Affiliate Club Instruction Sheet
PCA approval is required for all Affiliate Club Specialty Shows. PCA’s approval is NOT automatic. Application for your show must be filed with PCA 18 weeks prior to the closing date. This is the same time frame that you must have your application to AKC. AKC will withhold approval until they receive approval from PCA.
Effective May 1, 2022
The PCA rules implemented by the Board are:
- No non-approved judge is eligible to judge our National Show.
- No non-approved judge may only judge a specialty show once every four years.
- An Affiliate Club may only apply and use a non-approved judge for 1 specialty show once every two years.
Applications to Host a Specialty Show or WC/WCX or UWC/UWCX:
Conformation Specialty Application
Obedience Specialty Application
WC/WCX or UWC/UWCX Test Application
These must be filled out with PCA at the same time as the application to AKC to hold a specialty show or WC/WCX or UWC/UWCX. A complete and updated list of current officers, board and members must also be sent to complete the approval process. It is also suggested that your Affiliate Club dues for PCA be up-to-date at the time of your application.
