AKC PARENT BREED CLUB FOR THE ENTLEBUCHER MOUNTAIN DOG

 
As of December 1, 2008, The National Entlebucher Mountain Dog Association Registry transferred the United States Entlebucher Pedigree responsibility to the FSS/AKC (Foundation Stock Service/ American Kennel Club). All breeders must use the FSS/AKC or the CKC (Canadian Kennel Club) to enroll their litters and individual dogs. Eligible Entlebuchers within the United States will receive FSS enrollment from the AKC. The FSS enrollment will become a full AKC pedigree when the Entlebucher Breed is moved into the Herding Class and receives full AKC recognition. Eligible Entlebuchers in Canada will receive CKC Pedigrees.

United States Breeders planning to sell US-bred Entlebuchers into Canada, or those planning to breed in Canada or Europe MUST still obtain a NEMDA pedigree until the Entlebucher receives full AKC recognition. This will be in addition to the FSS enrollment. The Canadian Kennel Club and other International Registries do not recognize the FSS enrollment, so you must have a NEMDA Pedigree.

NEMDA BCOE Breeders must submit proof of FSS or CKC litter Registration to the Breeding Committee with the yearly BCOE report. In addition, the NEMDA BCOE requires that ALL BCOE breeders submit a Litter Database Application directly to the Registry/ Database.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION:

The NEMDA Registry was established in October of 1999 adhering to the strict guidelines of due diligence used by the internationally recognized FCI Registries. Because of the strict pedigree protocols, in October 2001, the NEMDA Registry was officially recognized by the Canadian Ministry of Agriculture and the Canadian Kennel Club as a Recognized Foreign Stud Book. This enabled all dogs with NEMDA Pedigree Registration to be recognized not only by the CKC, but by all other international FCI Registries who recognized CKC affiliates. This has enabled our members to travel and breed overseas.

The Registry has played an integral role in the NEMDA club's work towards full American Kennel Club recognition. The number of NEMDA Registered Entlebuchers with documented four generation pedigrees enabled the club to fulfill the AKC's Foundation Stock Service (FSS) requirement for application into the Miscellaneous class, the next step in full recognition into Herding. As of December 2008, all Registered Entlebuchers within the NEMDA Registry have been enrolled into the FSS. These were directly transferred.

 The NEMDA Registry will continue to serve the NEMDA club in a modified role.

• a) The Registry will serve as the data collection point for Entlebucher litters within North America. The litter data will be entered into a comprehensive database to serve as the foundation of NEMDA's open health testing and breeding database. NEMDA members have access to the database via the NEMDA website.
• b) The NEMDA Registry will continue to be available for Entlebucher stock which require Canadian Kennel Club or other FCI affiliate recognition. We will continue this service while the Entlebucher only has FSS enrollment. Once the Entlebucher is moved into the AKC Herding groups with full AKC recognition, this service will no longer be necessary.
