Maybe so, but those are the AKC rules at least. A part of the reasoning I believe has to go to avoiding the appearance of impropriety. UKC, conformation wise at least, there are no catalogues as entries are still taken on the day of the show. The other agility organizations, I cannot speak to how they handle catalogues as the only venue I've watched run in person has been AKC.

Pretty sexist to attribute that to one gender or another. I'd feel relatively safe to bet that those feelings and/or actions cross gender rather liberally. When one is participating in an organization, whether it be a dog club or a quilting circle or even a book club there are certain rules one agrees to abide by regardless of how officiously nonsensical they may be. IF one doesn't like the rules, then one doesn't have to participate in that particular organization.

Jodi, the answer to your question is yes, more than likely there will be corgis running at the agility trial in Mocksville. If you call/e-mail the contact person for information, I find it extremely doubtful if they will/can tell you how many corgis will be running; but they could probably give you a time the 10 and 12" classes may be running and that's when the corgis would be.
Let us know if you go and what you think.
