My Border Collie is spayed and ABCA registered at this current time, but I will want her registered with the AKC so that we can participate in AKC sanctioned events, such as Agility, Obedience, Rally-O, Herding, etc...
Now the stud books are open on BC's, as far as I know, but someone suggested to me that because she is over 1 yr, AKC will not do a proper registration and I will need to ILP her instead. Recently, here in answers, I saw one of our regular posters make reference to a judge looking to throw out an ILP dog from a competition, as he thought it not to be purebred. BC's are typically seen with rough coats, but mine is semi-smooth. I would wonder if because she's not "the norm" that a judge might question her ILP status.
I would prefer to do a direct AKC registration if I can. Has anyone had any experience with this or know if there is actually a "cut off age" to register?
