03 United Kennel Club Registration
The UKC has many types of registration: one for dogs whose ancestors
are also registered with the UKC, one for dogs who "crossed in" from
another registery, and one for neutered dogs of unknown or mixed
parentage.
Single registration
To register your dog with the UKC, write to them for the application
form. It will ask you to list a five generation pedigree for your dog,
as well as the owner of the sire and the owner of the dam (at the time
of the breeding). It will also ask you a few short questions about
whether the dog meets the standard, is show quality, whether you
intend to hunt, work, or show in breed with your dog. If your dog has
a disqualifying fault for its breed (presumably under UKC rules) it
must be neutered.
Such dogs and some of their offspring are ineligible for the Purple
Ribbon pedigree (see below).
Limited Privilege
Finally, you can get an LP (limited privilege), the equivalent of
AKC's ILP, for any dog, including mixed breed dogs (in an agreement
worked out between UKC and AMBOR in February of 1994). Dogs registered
via the LP process must be neutered and they are eligible for all but
conformation events held by the UKC.
AMBOR may be contacted through:
President: Linda Readman, PO Box 7841, Rockford, IL 61126;
amborlcr@aol.com
Membership Coordinator: Michele Sanders, RD 3 PO Box 297, Hanover, PA,
17331; michelemut@aol.com.
Process
Whichever type of registration you use, the process is relatively
quick. Fill out the application and send it in: in just a few weeks,
you will receive a wallet-sized ID card with your dog's registration
information that will allow you to enter UKC trials the same day,
provided that entries haven't been filled yet. The requirement of
sending in pictures with the application has been dropped.
