Registration

All dogs should and can be registered with the Kennel Union of Southern Africa (“KUSA”). This means that there should be no unregistered dogs and the 2 Registers available are:

BREED REGISTERED
This is when all generations (parents, grandparents, great-grandparents of both dam and sire) are registered on the Breed Register. Only a Breed Registered dog may receive the title of Champion. When purchasing your puppy you will receive a Breed Register Certificate, which must have the breeder's signature on the back. You will also sign the back of that certificate with your details and return this Certificate to KUSA where you will receive another Breed Certificate with your pup now registered in your name. The transfer of your pup into your name is free.

DEVELOPMENT REGISTER
This is an Application for a Single Dog for the Development Register for Australian Cattle Dogs which must be completed and submitted to KUSA. The application can be obtained from KUSA (021) 4239027 and all necessary details and history of the dog’s lineage must be completed on the application.

What do I do?
1. You will need to register yourself as a member of KUSA by completing a Member Application form. There will be a one off registration fee of R114.00 and your yearly subscription of R200.00. (Total R314.00)
2. You will need to register your dog or litter (eg. per pup) by completing a Single Dog Registration form. The fee per dog or pup is R132.00.
3. Complete all the relevant forms and return with your cheque to:
KUSA, P O Box 2659, Cape Town, 8000, Tel: (021) 4239027/8. (Please note that prices listed may change due to yearly subscription changes so check with KUSA first.)
To motivate your case:
1. If there are registered dogs in your dog's lineage, try to obtain copies of all certificates.
2. From both the sire’s and dam’s lines, trace back to grandparents and great- grandparents supplying all details (eg. name, date of birth etc).
3. Obtain sworn written statements wherever possible to prove that all matings were from purebred dogs.
4. Obtain dates (if possible) of all litters relating to your dogs lineage.
5. Supply date of birth of your dog.
6. Have your dog or litter checked by a judge or person well acquainted with this breed.
