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.
- If pups are born from either a male or a female who is
not breed surveyed then those pups will be issued with White
Papers. If, however, either or both parents are subsequently
surveyed, the breeder (only the breeder of the litter) can
apply for all the pups born prior to be issued with Pink
Papers after surrendering the White Papers. NO OWNER CAN
APPLY FOR ISSUANCE OF PAPERS TO A SINGLE PUP.
- 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.
