(B) The South Carolina Department of Wildlife and Marine Resources shall not license or issue a permit for a field trial or bench show for dogs if the event is sanctioned by a national registry organization which requires, as a prerequisite to the dog's participation in the trial or show, any additional registration on a dog owned by the original breeder or kennel."
