Given current AKC FT rules the determination of amateur status is up to the field trial committee. How would vote as member of your club's committee?

If I enter and get dropped in the first series, I'm not a Pro. If I enter and win, I am a Pro??

all righty then!!!Keith Griffith said:This is NOT an AKC event, John. What someone wins here doesn't mean SQUAT to the AKC.
If the winner is not earning any of his/her livelihood training a dog (or boarding, or handling, or any of the other criteria) for income (whether it's the winning dog or not), winning this prize or a $25 bag of dog food does not change that in the AKC's eyes at a non-AKC sanctioned event.

What does an AKC event has to with it? Is it okay to recieve money from a UKC event and run an AKC event as an amateur? If so I could restrict my billings to handling at UKC events and still be an AKC amateur.Keith Griffith said:This is NOT an AKC event, John. What someone wins here doesn't mean SQUAT to the AKC.
