Rules |
- The breeding age for male dogs is 24 months and for females
20 months. It is further clarified that the female must
be 20 months or more when the actual mating takes place.
- The closest line breeding permissible is 2-3 or 3-2
- Dogs must be graded at least “GOOD” at a dog
show to qualify for a breed survey.
- Any dog that has a disqualifying fault, (long coat, missing
teeth etc) will not be permitted to breed and no papers
will be issued to its offspring.
- As per rules no dog or bitch can be accepted
for Breed Survey unless graded with the minimum qualification
"GOOD".
Henceforth, pups bred from a dog or bitch not graded "GOOD"
will not be eligible for tattooing nor will pedigree papers
be issued to them. It will therefore be a requirement for
the Breeder to present the Award Card in the case of a dog
or bitch not Breed Surveyed to the Tattooer at the time
of applying for the litter to be Tattooed.
Club officials responsible for accepting dogs for Breed
Survey and the officially accredited Tattooers are advised
to ensure compliance to avoid any hardship.
- As per rules, if a GSD registered with the KCP and issued
papers by the GSDCP is sold to a non-member of the KCP or
GSDCP the pedigree and/or Breed Survey shall become null
and void and the dog/bitch so sold will be struck off the
register of the KCP/GSDCP. Breeders and owners are hereby
cautioned that the papers issued by the KCP/GSDCP belong
to the KCP/GSDCP and they are to be returned to the KCP/GSDCP
if the dog is sold to a non-member. The onus of responsibility
lies upon the breeder/owner of the dog concerned. The KCP/GSDCP
reserve the right to take action as may be deemed appropriate
in case of violation of the rules. With immediate effect
it has been decided that only a member of the GSDCP or KCP
shall enter and exhibit a German Shepherd Dog at an event
organized by the GSDCP.
The existing rule that only a dog/bitch graded with a minimum
rating of “Good” shall be allowed to be bred from will be
strictly enforced. Henceforth, only a dog/bitch graded “Good”
will be allowed to apply for a Breed Survey. The age for
Breed Survey will remain the same i.e after attaining 18
months.
The WUSV conference in Ulm 2005 unanimously decided that
no VA grading overseas at a Sieger Show shall be after 2007
given to a dog/bitch that does not possess a training qualification,
pass the courage test at the show breed survey, hip clearance
“a” stamp and DNA check. The GSDCP will therefore step up
the program to install all these requirements well before
the cut off date. The Breeding Committee will decide which
of these requirements can be implemented by the end of the
year 2006.
Breeders will henceforth report to the National Breed Warden
incidence of long-hair pups prior to issue of the pedigrees
so that these maybe appropriately stamped. It is the onus
of the breeder to point out to the buyer of such pups that
they are long-hair and that this is a disqualification from
breeding and showing.
Stud certificates are required to be issued and forwarded
to the GSDCP within 15 days of such stud having taken place.
This is not being followed in all cases. The Club's official
Tattooists are being advised to confirm receipt of the stud
certificate with the Secretary of the GSDCP prior to making
a request to the NBW for tattooing.
- Statement of the Breed Registry of the German Shepherd
Dog Association (SV)After the Breed Registry was informed
that the dog “Nero vom Nöbachtal, SZ-Nr. 2080775”
had covered bitches abroad, the SV managing committee decided
to give the following advice to the relevant associations
abroad, and moreover to the bitch owners in Germany, warning
them of the offspring of “Nero vom Nöbachtal” which
were born after the 9th August 2004 (date on which
the offspring registration ban legally came into effect).
The associations abroad were told that since we have now
discovered that the dog Nero vom Nöbachtal is to be
used in their country as a stud dog, we would like to point
out that an offspring registration ban has been imposed
by the SV on this dog since 09th August 2004. Therefore
offspring from this dog, even if they are registered in
their country in the breed register, will not be included
in our breed register.
This means that should an application be made for offspring
from this dog to be registered in the SV Breed Register,
it will be rejected by us with reference to the relevant
regulations. This means, de facto, that these dogs will
also be banned from registering in the German Breed Register
(breeding prohibited). In order to be able to register
dogs in Germany in the Breed Register, it is necessary,
in accordance with Paragraph 4.1.1 of the Breeding Regulations,
that the parent animals are themselves included in the
SV Breed Register.
The exhibition of these dogs is also not possible, since
the SV does not judge the confirmation itself, but instead
gives a breed assessment, and in accordance with the conformation
show rules, dogs which have an offspring registration ban
imposed on them are not permitted to take part in conformation
shows of the SV. This applies to all dogs that are fathered
by Nero vom Nöbachtal after the offspring registration
ban came into force.
We would be grateful, if the foreign associations were
also to decide to impose an offspring registration ban,
since this would certainly be opportune in protecting
bitch owners. The Breed Registry of the SV
In accordance with the request of the SV, the GSDCP
has decided to impose a similar ban with immediate effect.
Hence no offspring of the dog Nero vom Nobachtal born
after August 9th 2004 will be registered by the GSDCP/KCP.
-
Effective 01.01.2006 the KCP has imposed a fee of Rs.100/-
per pedigree issued by the GSDCP. For the current year
2006, the GSDCP has decided to absorb this charge and
the fee of Rs.500/- per pedigree will remain unchanged.
- Dogs imported from overseas are required to be registered
with the KCP within six months from the date of their import
into Pakistan and acquire a KCP registration number. All
owners/exhibitors are hereby advised that in case this requirement
is not fulfilled, the dogs will not be eligible to be exhibited
at shows licensed under KCP rules and regulations.
- It is to be noted that dogs registered with the AKC,
Kennel Club England, SV, AKU and other recognized member
clubs may compete in shows licensed by the KCP with
the parent club registration numbers for a period of
six months on the reciprocal basis agreed upon between
the organizations.
- For GSDs the application may be made directly to the
GSDCP for registration and transfer accompanied by the
standard registration fee as may be amended from time
to time
- No male dog shall be used at stud until he attains the
age of 2 years and must pass the Breed Survey before
he is used at stud for the first time. This rule shall
become effective immediately except in such cases where
a mating has already taken place.
-
No female shall be bred from before attaining 20
months age and must pass the Breed Survey before being
mated for the first time. This rule shall become effective
immediately except in such cases where a mating has already
taken place.
- Life breed survey following 2 years after the first survey
must be undertaken by the dog/bitch when it becomes due.
Breeding can only be done under a valid survey. If
there is a break the dog/bitch cannot be bred from until
such time as this is rectified and the dog is once again
surveyed. In the event of a break of six months and above
the dog/bitch will not be automatically surveyed for life
but for a period of one year at first and for life when
presented the following year.
- Male dogs being used at stud must, between the
ages of 2-4 years, be shown at least once during a calendar
year at a GSDCP Championship Show judged by the President,
the National Breed Warden, or a foreign judge. This is considered
essential so as to permit judges, breeders and owners to
know the condition and development of a stud that is influencing
the development of the breed in the country.
- Rules 1-3 will bring to an end the issuance of White
Pedigrees and encourage the increase in the number of Breed
Surveys throughout the year.
- Group Breed Wardens are required to be extremely
proactive to ensure that no Breeder misses the opportunity
to breed from their dogs due to either lack of awareness
or the possibility to enable fulfillment of breeding requirements.
- White Pedigrees shall henceforth only be issued
to pups born from parents who have failed the Breed Survey
due to either not passing the attack test (when implemented)
or possessing BH working grading (when implemented), except
under exceptional circumstances.
These
rules shall be construed to amend and supersede any other
existing rule which may contain anything to the contrary.
