The East Africa Kennel Club is a Studbook which registers all pedigree dogs in East Africa. Members enjoy lower rates and can register an official Affix (kennel name) after being an associate member (in good standing) for 3 years.
PEDIGREES
It is your responsibility as a breeder to issue a Breeder’s pedigree of at least four generations to the buyer of each registered puppy in this litter. A four-generation blank pedigree form for each puppy registered in this litter will be sent to you by the EAKC together with the Certificates of Registration. The blank pedigree forms are for completion by the breeder, and are not official pedigrees or valid for export purposes.
The breeder’s pedigrees should not be returned to the EAKC. Separate application, accompanied by the relevant fee, must be made for Official Pedigrees, or Export Pedigrees when required.
TRANSFERS
Puppies which you register as a breeder are registered in your name as the owner. When you sell or give away puppies they must be officially transferred into their ownership after the date of the physical transfer.Click hereto download the transfer form (1 per dog).
The EAKC asks that you, obtain the signature of the new owner on the transfer application, and return the completed transfer applications to the EAKC yourself.
AFFIXES
An Affix, also known as a “Kennel Name” is a single word of no more than 12 letters which you can use as part of every dog’s name when registering a your litters. An Affix can only be attained by full EAKC members in good standing through an application to the EAKC Council, once granted an affix must be maintained by payment of an annual fee.
Unless prohibited by endorsement, it may also be added to the name of a dog previously registered by someone else, at the time when that dog is officially transferred to your ownership. No other word or name can be used repeatedly (more than 3x) when naming puppies in a litter
