Here is what is published in the AKC Book, Rules Applying to Dog Shows ammended to Jan 2006 SECTION 8. The American-bred Class shall be for all dogs (except champions) six months of age and over, whelped in the United States of America, by reason of a mating which took place in the United States of America. Looks to me like Kathleen is right. both the breeding the whelping have to have been in the US.A Denise Bostrom ----- Original Message ----- From: <Bokenkampgsd1@xxxxxxx> To: <inflight2@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>; <showgsd-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Wednesday, May 30, 2007 1:00 PM Subject: [ SHOWGSD-L ] Re: AKC and CKC registered dog - registering litters In a message dated 5/30/2007 2:04:32 P.M.

Heard this from someone else who had a problem with the AKC on this issue -- I'm sure if its wrong information, someone will be happy to correct me. Not true. Must have been presented wrong. It is no different than a Canadian bitch being bred to an American dog....you have to go to where the dog is. Wherever the litter is whelped is where you can enter the appropriate am/can bred class. The only issue the AKC would have is if the dog is not registered in the US, then you have to provide certified pedigree etc to register the litter. Had a few bitches years ago bred to one of my dogs while in Canada, and they had no problems registering their litters.
