Activities
The AKC sanctions events in which dogs and handlers can compete. These are divided into three areas:
- Conformation shows
- Junior Showmanship
- Companion events, in which all registered and PAL/ILP dogs can compete. These include:
- Obedience trials
- Tracking trials
- Dog agility
- Rally obedience
- Performance events, which are limited to certain entrants; PAL/ILP dogs of the correct breed are usually eligible:
- Coonhound events (coonhounds; no PAL/ILP dogs)
- Field trials (hounds)
- Earthdog trials (small terriers and Dachshunds)
- Sheepdog trials (herding tests) (herding breeds, Rottweilers, and Samoyeds)
- Hunt tests (most dogs in the Sporting Groups and Standard Poodles)
