AFFILIATE CLUB INSTRUCTION SHEET

ATFTC approval is required for all Affiliate Club Specialty Shows.  ATFTC’s approval is NOT automatic.  Application for your show must be file with ATFTC 24 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 ATFTC.  A clubs application for a show will be approved if:

1. Your Specialty date does not conflict with ATFTC National or Regional specialties. (90 day restriction)

2. Your Club has provided ATFTC with the required current information for past and future specialty shows.

The following information must be sent to the Secretary of ATFTC in connection with EACH Specialty your club holds.

______________________________________________________

24 weeks before closing date of your Specialty

1.  Application for a Specialty show

2.  List of Officers and Board-addresses/fax #/ e mail addresses

3.  A copy of your clubs by-laws

4.  Current membership list

This application is due the same time AKC requires your application and fee for your show.  This will help ATFTC publicize your show dates and judges.  If you have 2 shows a year, this application must be completed for each show.

After your Specialty:

Send the ATFTC Secretary a marked catalogue.
