OFFICIAL ANNOUNCEMENTS REGARDING NSDTRC(USA)
and AKC
Marile Waterstraat, AKC Liaison
The Foundation Stock Service is considered by the
AKC to be a “recording service,” as opposed to the AKC Registry. Our FS
certificates will have the same information as an AKC registration certificate,
however it will be a different color with a different border. Since October
1995, 43 different breeds have been recorded with the FS. The number issued for
FS, will be the same when we achieve full recognition. Also, all rules that
apply to AKC registration procedures, also apply to FS recorded dogs. (2000)
The new AKC ‘Frequently Used Sires Program’ will
apply to FS recorded dogs. The information will be printed in Quackers, but if
you wish to check the web site for this information, the link is http://www.akc.org/registration/dna/frequently_used_sires.cfm.
If you have a stud dog that has produced seven litters, or one you expect to
produce that many, or one who is producing three or more litters in a year, you
will need to order an AKC DNA test and submit it to the AKC DNA Operations in
Raleigh, NC in advance of your litter application. This will be effective for
litters whelped on or after July 1, 2000. Julie Hanson has ordered some DNA
kits for the Gateway Classic to get us started. (2000)
Effective Jan. 1, 2001, in order for OFA and CERF
information to appear on your dog’s FS certificate, and subsequent AKC
registration certificate, it will be necessary for your dog to be permanently
identified, ie. microchip or tattoo. At this time we do not know how dogs who
already have CERF and OFA information under their NSDTRC(USA) numbers, will be
changed over to FS numbers. When we have that information, we will inform you.
(2000)
Beginning August 1, 2001, the following 6 breeds
will be accepted in FS Conformation classes at AKC shows: Redbone Coonhound,
Black Russian Terrier, Neopolitan Mastiff, Glen of Imaal Terrier, Beauceron and
the
NOVA SCOTIA DUCK TOLLING RETRIEVER. (2001)

Susan Wright, Records Chair
CHANGES TO NSDTRC (USA) REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS
FOR TITLES (2001)
As of January 1, 2001, a dog must be registered with the
American Kennel Club's Foundation Stock Service (FSS) and a copy of the AKC FSS
certificate must be on file with Records to be eligible for Nova Scotia Duck
Tolling Retriever Club (USA) titles. The American Kennel Club has provided us
with the FSS numbers of all dogs that were registered with NSDTRC (USA). A copy
of the FSS certificates for these dogs will not be needed as their FSS numbers
are already in Records files.
Owners of unregistered dogs must register their dog with the
American Kennel Club Foundation Stock Service within 30 days of their dog
receiving any points, legs or field passes and a copy of the AKC FSS certificate
must reach Records within 60 days of the event or the points, leg or field pass
will be forfeited. PLEASE NOTE: This is a change from the previous requirement
of registering a dog within 90 days of an event. (Extensions as outlined in the
AKC Rules Applying to Dog Shows shall be honored by the NSDTRC (USA) if
documentation of such extensions is forwarded to Records.)

NSDTRC (USA) championship points from the AKC
Miscellaneous Class (2001)
NSDTRC (USA) championship points may be awarded from the AKC
Miscellaneous Class if:
1. The AKC Miscellaneous Class is divided by breed and sex.
2. The judge is AKC licensed to judge, or is an AKC Provisional Judge
working for approval to judge, a Sporting, Herding or Working breed or group.
3. The owner of the winning dog submits a Conformation Title Form to
Records within 30 working days of the event. The form should be filled out by
the owner of the dog and would not have to be signed by the judge.
4. Records is able to verify the show, the win and the entry numbers
through AKC's Awards Magazine.
Because AKC's Award Magazine lists only four placements, the maximum number of
points awarded to a dog from the Miscellaneous Class shall be three. The point
schedule for showing in the AKC Miscellaneous Class shall be expanded to five
points at such time that the AKC provides official notification through the
Awards Magazine or other written means of the total number of dogs, divided by
sex and breed, exhibited so that Records may verify such wins.
Best of Winners is not offered in AKC's Miscellaneous Class, so points shall
only be awarded to those dogs that place first in their class and have
competition of the same sex.
Title Forms and the amended Rules and Regulations are available on the club's
web site and from Records.
OFFICIAL ANNOUNCEMENTS REGARDING ARBA (2000)
As of January 1, 2001, ARBA is no longer allowing breed club
title forms
at their shows. This change to ARBA's rules has come about because ARBA
has had a problem with exhibitors contacting judges directly instead of
going through the Show Secretary as required in their rules.
We have been able to negotiate an exception for NSDTRC (USA)
Conformation
Title Forms. Robert Slack has stated that if Toller owners come to him
personally at shows, he will confirm the entry numbers and sign the
Conformation Title Forms using the power of attorney that he receives from
his judges. Mr. Slack is at all of the ARBA shows.
ARBA holds ARBA shows for ARBA titles. They are under no
obligation to
handler breed club forms. Please respect the fact that ARBA does not allow
exhibitors to contact the judges at these shows. Head Steward Laurice
Wright will no longer be able to help you with NSDTRC (USA) forms. Only
Robert Slack can now do this.
Please remember that NSDTRC (USA) rules state that ARBA judges
must meet
our qualification requirements, we require a copy of the flyer or premium
from the event, we work within a 30 working day deadline, and dogs must be
registered with AKC's FSS before NSDTRC (USA) championship points can be
awarded for wins at ARBA shows.
