Indefinite Listing Privilege, also known as "ILP." An ILP allows an unregistered dog (of an AKC registerable breed) to participate in obedience & performance events. In order to compete in any AKC obedience & performance events, a dog must have either an AKC registration number or an ILP number. An ILP is not a substitutition for an AKC registration.
