The AKC Mission Statement

The American Kennel Club® is dedicated to upholding the integrity of its Registry, promoting the sport of pure-bred dogs and breeding for type and function. Founded in 1884, the AKC and its affiliated organizations advocate for the purebred dog as a family companion, advance canine health and well-being, work to protect the rights of all dog owners and promote responsible dog ownership.

Note: A Pedigree issued by a foreign or domestic registry organization named in this pamphlet is not automatically acceptable for AKC registration of the dog represented by the Pedigree. Each Pedigree will be examined to determine its acceptability under policies and regulations established by the Board of Directors of the American Kennel Club. However, a Pedigree issued by an organization not named in this pamphlet may be acceptable, provid-ed it meets the AKC’s requirements. An incomplete or unverifiable Pedigree shall render the accompa-nying application for registration unacceptable.

I. FOREIGN DOGS

A. EligibilityForeign dogs may be eligible for registration in the AKC

Stud Book, provided:1. The dog is of a breed eligible for individual registration in

the AKC Stud Book.2. The dog was registered in country of birth with a

Foreign Registry Organization listed in Section IV of this pamphlet.

3. The AKC application form is accompanied by a legible photocopy of the complete official three-generation pedigree of the Certificate of Registration from the Foreign Registry Organization. The dog must have an unrestricted registration. Do not send originals.

4. The AKC application and the foreign registration must reflect identical ownership.

5. The dog has been positively and permanently identified (microchip, DNA or tattoo) prior to being registered.

6. Photographs required for all dogs

B. LittersA litter whelped outside of the United States is not eligible

for AKC registration, but individual dogs from such a litter may become eligible if imported into the U.S. and, 1. The dog is individually registered with a Foreign Registry

Organization listed in Section IV of this pamphlet prior to being imported.

2. The requirements outlined in Section IA of this pamphlet are met.

3. If whelped in a country with no Foreign Registry Organization on the list in Section IV of this pamphlet, but both the sire and dam are AKC registered, if the owner requests and receives permission to have Sire, Dam and entire litter DNA tested prior to importing the dog, that dog may be considered for AKC registration.

C. Bitches Imported in WhelpA litter whelped in the U.S. by reason of a mating that

took place outside the U.S. between an AKC registered or registrable Dam and a non-AKC registered Sire may be registered if the Sire meets the registration requirements outlined in Section A and the completed Special Litter Registration Application (ALITTS) is accompanied by:1. A legible copy of the official three-generation Pedigree for

the Sire issued by the Foreign Registry in sire’s country of birth.

2. The Stud Certificate issued by the registry organization in whose Stud Book the Sire is registered, or an official letter from that registry organization, must verify, with its official Club Seal and authorized signature, that the per-son signing as owner of the Sire was, in fact, the recorded owner of the dog at the time of the mating and that the foreign Sire was mated to the bitch named on the AKC Litter Registration Application Form.

3

The individual AKC registration of the Dam, imported in whelp, must be effected before consideration will be given to an application for litter registration (see page 3).

D. AKC Bitch Bred to a Non-AKC Dog in the United StatesA litter produced by an AKC registered Dam and a

non-AKC registered Sire as the result of a breeding in the United States may only be registered when the Sire becomes registered with the AKC.

E. Artificial Insemination Using Fresh Extended or Frozen Semen

A litter produced as a result of artificial insemination using imported frozen or fresh extended semen will be considered for AKC registration if the Sire meets the same requirements for AKC registration as stated in Section I, and is DNA certified as follows,

Effective October 1, 1998, AKC “DNA Certification” is required for all stud dogs, domestic and foreign, collected for fresh extended and frozen semen use. Cheek swab DNA samples must be obtained by the collector and submitted to the AKC with the Notification of Collection. An “AKC DNA Certificate” with the DNA Profile and Number is issued to the owner.

F. Import DNA RequirementAll imported dogs (male or female) registered on or after

March 1, 2006 require AKC DNA profiling prior to the registration of their first AKC-registered litter.

II. DOGS OWNED BY RESIDENTS OF BERMUDA, CANADA AND MEXICO

All requirements outlined under Section I of this pam-phlet would apply except the dog need not be physically in the U.S. at the time of registration. A Canadian dog must have an unrestricted registration with the Canadian Kennel Club. A transfer of ownership on the AKC’s records will only be effected after it is documented that the same change has been made by the registry organization in the owner’s country of residence.

NOTE: An application to register a Bermudian-bred, BKC-registered dog, a Canadian-bred, CKC-registered dog need not be accompanied by the three-generation BKC, CKC Pedigree provided both the Sire and Dam are individually AKC registered, but the CKC certificate is still required. AKC registration numbers for the Sire and Dam must ap-pear on the completed application form.

If the Sire and Dam are not AKC registered, please submit a legible photocopy of the complete offical three-generation pedigree. You do not need to submit the original pedigree.

III. DOGS WHELPED IN THE UNITED STATES WHEN NEITHER THE SIRE NOR THE DAM ARE AKC REGISTERED

A dog whelped in the United States that is individually registered with one of the Domestic Registry Organizations listed in Section V of this pamphlet may be eligible for reg-istration. A three-generation certified Pedigree issued by the domestic registry organization must accompany the application for AKC registration.

NOTE: If the Sire and Dam of the dog, for which registra-tion is sought are registered with the AKC, the dog is not eligible for registration in the AKC’s Stud Book on the basis of its registration with another USA registry body. Standard AKC registration procedures must be followed.

AKC Code of Sportsmanship PREFACE: The sport of purebred dog competitive events dates prior to 1884, the year of AKC’s birth. Shared values of those involved in the sport include principles of sports-manship. They are practiced in all sectors of our sport: conformation, performance and companion. Many believe that these principles of sportsmanship are the prime reason why our sport has thrived for over one hundred years. With the belief that it is useful to periodically articulate the fundamentals of our sport, this code is presented.

• Sportsmen respect the history, traditions and integrity of the sport of purebred dogs.

• Sportsmen commit themselves to values of fair play, honesty, courtesy, and vigorous competition, as well as winning and losing with grace.

• Sportsmen refuse to compromise their commitment and obligation to the sport of purebred dogs by injecting personal advantage or consideration into their decisions or behavior.

• The sportsman judge judges only on the merits of the dogs and considers no other factors.

• The sportsman judge or exhibitor accepts constructive criticism.

• The sportsman exhibitor declines to enter or exhibit under a judge where it might reasonably appear that the judge’s placements could be based on something other than the merits of the dogs.

• The sportsman exhibitor refuses to compromise the impartiality of a judge.

• The sportsman respects the AKC bylaws, rules, regulations and policies governing the sport of purebred dogs.

• Sportsmen find that vigorous competition and civility are not inconsistent and are able to appreciate the merit of their competition and the effort of competitors.

• Sportsmen welcome, encourage and support newcomers to the sport.

• Sportsmen will deal fairly with all those who trade with them.

• Sportsmen are willing to share honest and open appraisals of both the strengths and weaknesses of their breeding stock.

• Sportsmen spurn any opportunity to take personal advantage of positions offered or bestowed upon them.

• Sportsmen always consider as paramount the welfare of their dog.

• Sportsmen refuse to embarrass the sport, the American Kennel Club, or themselves while taking part in the sport.
