rec.pets.dogs.misc: the Mini Aussie is only just uner 14" but needs to look closer to 18... Unless ILPing has different requirements, why do you need to mislead? Have you read the Australian Shepherd standard as it pertains to height? -- --Matt. Rocky's a Dog. |

Lindsey Why do you want to ILP dogs that are not purebred dogs AKC registerable breeds? While I understand the desire to do performance with mixes, there are plenty of opportunities to do so in venues that do not require the dogs to be purebred. Misuse of the ILP system can only cause harm, especially to those who have dogs who are ILPed legitimately. Christy |

"Why do you want to ILP dogs that are not purebred dogs AKC registerable
breeds?" I want to ILP my dogs so I can participate in the AKC trials held near me. I never see any other types of shows that have Rally/Obedience in them besides AKC. everyone that meets my shelties Mix thinks she is a purebred and take quite a bit of convincing that she is not. I dont see the problem with registering her at all. and for my mini, I am with many others in trying to get AKC to recognize them so why not start showing her and get her out there at the shows? "Unless ILPing has different requirements, why do you need to mislead? Have you read the Australian Shepherd standard as it pertains to height?" The standard for Aussie's is 18-21" and I think in order to get an ILP the dog should be near the height standards... I know misleading is bad and it will be obvious when I start showing she is no where near the standard size but how else can I get an ILP lol? And the Mini is a purebred just not AKC recognized... The Sheltie is a Mix. Lindsey |

rec.pets.dogs.misc: The standard for Aussie's is 18-21" Not exactly. "Quality is not to be sacrificed in favor of size." So, there is no strict height standard. And the Mini is a purebred just not AKC recognized. It's recognised by ASCA and the AKC as an "Australian Shepherd." -- --Matt. Rocky's a Dog. |
