kennel club best dog for children image
Karsyn
Ok, so I am writing a children's book involving dogs.
(Well, mostly scribbling ideas, making a storyboard, and doing my research at this point.)
So, I was curious, can you show an Albino dog in the showring? AKC specifically, but if any other kennel clubs allow it I would like to know that as well. I can not seem to find any articles on it anywhere. But I may just no be looking in the right places? Any ideas?
EDIT:
The idea I had for the story was not to celebrate a serious fault such as this one. I was hoping to educate on the importance of proper breeding through a sad (think Where the Red Fern Grows or Old Yeller), but heart warming tale. Though I am not one hundred percent sure how I aim to go about doing this yet (as I am still in the very early stages of development) I was just hoping to confirm the fact that Albinos cannot be shown due this defect. Just if you were curious~
Answer
No self respecting breeder is going to bench an albino anything at a conformation show. That said, take a look at the AKC breed standard for the subject breed.
You can, btw, show albino in the AKC performances classes (examples: obedience, rally, agility, tracking, etc., etc.); so if you write your story around one of those events, you can maintain some plausibility.
Hopefully your story line will consider undue prejudice vs valid concerns in some fair way; hopefully the story won't attempt to celebrate this serious genetic fault.

What is the difference between an old english sheepdog and a bearded collie?

I'm sorry if this seems like a stupid question to dog experts, but we are looking at dogs and I want to know what I am getting. I'd like to know the difference in the breeds and their personalities. Any insight is appreciated. :)

Even though I am not a big fan of the American Kennel Club ... the information they have on dog breeds is very extensive and accurate ( as it pertains to my dog who is a mix of Chow/Collie mix ) their website is
http://www.akc.org
The biggest thing to look at with those breeds is they have to have exercise and a job... if you have children or other animals both breeds will "herd" and can become a problem. These are working dogs so they NEED a job and exercise or they will not be as happy as they could be. They both will make great friends and they have wonderful personalities, you will laugh your a** off at the stuff they do. One big point to consider in your choice is what type of home do you have, as an apartment (even a big one) will not cut it for them.
The fact that you are doing your research prior to bringing one home is wonderful, as most people just say " oh he's cute" or "wow that the same dog Paris Hilton wears in her bag". So I respect you for that.
In my opinion, the decision to bring a dog into ones life and family is a big one. This animal is going to be your best friend,protector,activity partner and is going to love you no matter what.Your dog is going to feel your pain,happiness,excitement and sorrow. When adopting or buying a dog ask yourself this...
Am I right for this dog? As the dogs parent,protector,best friend and "owner" (i hate that term, ha ha) are you the right "breed" of human for him/her?
