Canadian Kennel Club registered dogs are eligible to compete in American Kennel Club events under their own CKC number. If you are living in the US, it is best to obtain an AKC registration number in addition to the CKC number for the dog. Contact the AKC Special Registry Services.
You would need a clear copy of the CKC registration & a copy of the certified pedigree, two 3x5 color photos of the dog (front and side, standing), an AKC application completed in ink, the application fee and proof of tattoo or microchip.

Yes, my Siberian husky and I compete in agility and rally obedience. He loves it. I use only positive methods (it's the only way to train agility) and this works wonders. Trying to force a Sibe to do something it has no motivation to do is like trying to keep waves on the sand.
No. Most pedigree dog breeders do register their pups with the Kennel Club however but this is not a sign of quality as puppy farmers are also allowed to register puppies. Crossbreeds (dogs that are the product of two different breeds) are not usually registered but can go on the KC activity register. These dogs cannot be exhibited in any breed classes at shows but can compete in obedience, agility etc. Most responsible people do have their dogs microchopped or tattooed and they are logged on a register this will be made compulsory in 2010 for breeds that require health tests eg hip scoring.
Look it up on the competitions website. Look at pictures and see if they are wearing costumes.
An obedience show is when owners who have well trained dogs compete to win. The dogs are not judged on looks, but on their skills at tricks and agility. The commands that dogs must learn to be entered in most obedience rings are ''sit'', ''lie down'', ''shake'' and ''heel''. More advanced classes will ask for harder tricks.
They are good guard dogs, good at herding, protecting, obedience, agility, and sniffing out things. This is why they are used in the police. They are all - round good dogs.
