~ AKC Scorebook is required.  Apply here: http://www.akc.org/pdfs/WDS_Scorebook.pdf
See Instruction #8 on Entry Form.  If you do not have a scorebook you should apply for one immediately.  Or you may send in an existing scorebook for AKC endorsement.
 
Is the existing IPO Title on my dog is acceptable?
~ See Instruction #9 on Entry Form.  For example:
If your dog is a BH, you may enter as a TT or Enter as a WD1.  If your dog is an IPO1, you may enter as a WD1 or go for your WD2.  This is the same for each level.  However, note the AKC requirement that in order for that title to be transferred into your new AKC Scorebook it must have been earned under an AKC approved Judge.  At this time AKC accepts Titles earned under SV, DVG, and WDA Judges only.
