Pure bred dogs without papers can be submitted to the ILP process for approval and ceritification for running in performance events. See the AKC web site for more details about this process.

North American Dog Agility Council
This venue allows purebred and mixed breed dogs alike to compete. Course times tend to be on the aggressive side and favor faster dogs. This is a very popular venue offering game events as well as more traditional agility events.
