5.12. In the case of artificial insemination of a bitch (with frozen semen), instead of a mating certificate (form No. 4), an artificial insemination act is drawn up, signed by the veterinarian who performed the insemination and the owner of the inseminated bitch or his authorized representative (form No. 5). Act

artificial insemination is executed in four copies and is a document replacing the act of mating.

5.13. Before artificial insemination, the veterinarian must identify the female dog to be inseminated. The act of artificial insemination is drawn up in compliance with the requirements provided for the execution of the mating act. During artificial insemination, the veterinarian acts as a representative (trustee) of the owner of the male dog and is responsible for the authenticity of the biomaterial used in accordance with current legislation.

5.14. If the mating was carried out by a male dog permanently residing and registered outside the Russian Federation, or the bitch was artificially inseminated with the biomaterial of such a male, then a mating certificate (form No. 6) or an international standard artificial insemination certificate (form No. 7) is drawn up.

7.1. All dogs registered with the Verk RKF must have the following identification:

– a mark on the dog’s skin (in the ear, on the stomach or in the groin) – mandatory for dogs born in the Russian Federation;

- brand + microchip - mandatory for dogs exported from Russia.

7.2. The most desirable option, recommended by the RKF, is a stamp + microchip.

7.3. If a dog is implanted with a microchip, then the digital code of the microchip is entered into the dog's registration card and into the certificate of origin (a sticker number with a microchip barcode must be pasted on the puppy's metric; a handwritten or printed version of the microchip number is unacceptable).

8.6. Litters are examined: for giant, large and medium breeds - no earlier than 45 days, for small breeds - no earlier than 60 days from the date of birth of the puppies, provided that the puppies have all erupted milk teeth. The litter must be examined no later than 90 days from the date of birth of the puppies (for all breeds).

8.9. The litter inspection report (form No. 8) is drawn up on the day of the inspection. The act indicates the brand code and (if the breeder has decided on additional marking by microchipping) the microchip code of each puppy, gender, exact color, as well as, if necessary, the reasons for re-inspection or rejection. The report is drawn up in triplicate and signed by the breeder and the person who examined the litter.

8.12. In the metric of a rejected puppy, a mark about the rejection is made. When exchanging such a metric for a certificate of origin, it will be issued with the stamp “Without the right of breeding use.”

8.13. If the puppy does not have disqualifying defects or obvious developmental defects, but the breeder believes that the puppy does not fully meet the requirements of the breed standard, then at the request of the breeder, an o. When exchanging such a metric for a certificate of origin, it will be issued with the stamp “Without the right of breeding use.”

8.14. When selling a puppy whose metric contains a mark of rejection or o, the breeder must inform the buyer that in the future the dog will not be able to participate in breeding work.

8.15. A re-examination of a puppy left for a secondary inspection is carried out by a specialist from the KO, VP or the owner of the emergency, after the puppy reaches the age specified in the litter inspection report and in the puppy’s birth certificate. A re-inspection can be carried out at the KO or at a breeding inspection.

8.16. If the puppy's certificate is exchanged with an O and there is no mark on the results of the re-examination, a certificate of origin will be issued with the stamp “Without the right of breeding use”

8.19. In the application for registration of a litter, all fields must be filled in, as well as the numbers of brands of rejected puppies, puppies left for re-inspection, and puppies whose metrics are marked, if any, must be indicated.

8.20. The nicknames of all littermate puppies must begin with the same letter in Russian. Transliteration into Latin can be done by the breeder; the absence of transliteration in the application for litter registration means the breeder’s consent to the transliteration of the names by the RKF dog handler. Repeated words are not allowed in puppy names. The name of the kennel registered by the breeder is included in the nicknames of all puppies born in the kennel and is placed before the name or after the name if the name of the kennel begins with the prepositions “from”, “from”, “with”, “with”, etc. (on Russian or English). The same nickname in combination with the name of the nursery can be repeated no earlier than after 30 years. The maximum number of characters in the puppy's name (including the name of the kennel and spaces) should not exceed 40 (forty).

10.15. When exchanging a puppy's certificate with a mark on rejection, o, or with a mark on the need for re-inspection, but without a mark on the results of such an examination, a certificate of origin is issued with the stamp “Without the right of breeding use.” Dogs with such a certificate of origin can participate in exhibitions and other events, but cannot be used for breeding.

10.16. When exchanging the puppy's certificate with O, an extract from the VERK is issued with the stamp “Color not recognized by FCI” (if the color is not recognized by the FCI, but recognized by the RKF) or “Without the right of breeding use” (if the color is not recognized by the FCI and RKF).

10.17. Certificates of origin are issued if both the father and mother of the dog have:

– DNA/DNA profile;

– title “Grand Champion of Russia”;

– a certificate for a profile type of test (in breeds for which, by decision of the National Breeding Committee, such tests are mandatory for admission to selective breeding);

– veterinary reports (tests) on health (in breeds for which, by decision of the NCP, the presence of such tests is mandatory for admission to selective breeding)

10.18. Certificates of origin are issued without marks if the requirements of the RKF Regulations on breeding work are met.

10.19. Certificates of origin are issued if the father and mother or one of the parents of the dog have not fully complied with the requirements of this Regulation, but the PC has decided on the possibility of registering the litter.

Appendix No. 3 to the RKF Regulations on breeding work

ORDER OF REGISTRATION OF A NURSERY

I. PRIVATE NURSERY

1. The name of the nursery is submitted for registration to the FCI through the RKF from the RFSS, RFOS, RFLS, OANKOO.

2. The name of the cattery is registered with the FCI through the RKF only for one individual over the age of 18 who has Russian citizenship or is permanently residing in the Russian Federation legally.

3. To register the name of a nursery, the owner must have:

– owns at least one bitch registered in the Verkhovna Rada of the Russian Federation,

– at least 2 litters registered in the VERK RKF, before submitting an application for registration of the name of the cattery with the FCI,

– canine education (at least breeders’ courses).

Changes have been made to the RKF Regulations on breeding work!

By the decision of the Presidium of the RKF dated 09/08/2020, changes were made to the RKF Regulations on breeding work:

— Coordination with the RKF Breeding Commission for obtaining two litters in a row without missing a heat (once during the entire breeding period of the bitch) is not required.

— The decision on the advisability of mating dogs that are related by blood (I–II: father–daughter, II–I; mother–son; II–II: brother–sister, half-sibs) is made by cynological organizations, private and departmental nurseries under their own responsibility on one's own. Providing documents for registration of such litters confirms the positive decision of the cynological organization, private or departmental nursery.

The new edition of the RKF Regulations on breeding work applies to all applications received by the RKF Breeding Commission, but not considered as of 09/08/2020.

Content:

1. Age at which females and males began mating

2.Until what age do you breed a male dog?

3.Until what age should a bitch be bred?

4. Determination of the optimal mating day

When can you breed a dog? Of course, once she reaches physiological maturity. However, the physiological and sexual maturity of a dog are far from the same thing.

Puberty, that is, the ability to conceive, occurs quite early in most dogs. It is generally accepted that a female dog becomes sexually mature from the moment the first heat begins (depending on the breed, the time when the first heat begins ranges from 6 to 12 months of age). Males become sexually mature somewhat later than females, at about 9 months. In a sexually mature male, both testes (testicles) are descended into the scrotum, if the testes are in the abdominal cavity, i.e. have not descended upon reaching 12 months, such a male is infertile and is called cryptorchid (after the name of the pathology - “cryptorchia”). Males with one descended testicle can produce offspring, but are not allowed for breeding, since cryptorchidia is inherited.

It is important to understand that a dog or bitch reaching sexual maturity does not mean they are ready to breed and produce offspring. Despite the fact that “technically” the body is already ripe for reproduction, physiologically it is not yet ready for this (this is especially true for bitches, for whom pregnancy and childbirth after the first heat can become a very heavy burden and lead to complications). For small dogs of decorative breeds (Chihuahuas, toy terriers), additional restrictions are imposed by height and weight requirements: if these indicators are less or more than required by breeding standards, then the dog cannot be bred.

Experts recommend the first mating of a female dog on her third heat; a male dog can be mated when he reaches the body size of an adult animal at the age of approximately 2 years. For owners of bitches planning to get puppies, experts recommend keeping a diary with a detailed description of the passage of each heat, starting with the first - based on these observations, when the dog is ready to bear puppies, it will be possible to choose the optimal mating time.

Up to what age can you breed a male dog?

There are no strict limits on the age up to which a male dog can be bred. Limitations are imposed only by diseases, but in the absence of pathologies and health problems, a stud dog can be used to reproduce the breed almost throughout its entire life.

Up to what age can a bitch be bred?

The first mating of a bitch should be carried out no later than 4 – 5 years. An untied bitch can be bred until she is 7-8 years old. It is considered normal to have 6 litters from one bitch in her entire life. However, there is no clear answer to the question “Is it possible to breed a female dog in her next heat after pregnancy?” In fact, such a load on the dog’s body is undesirable, but in some cases it is possible to carry out two matings in a row, provided that at least 6 months have passed since the birth of the puppies, the dog has no health problems and the previous pregnancy passed without complications.

How to determine a favorable day for mating

To effectively breed dogs, you must first correctly determine the favorable day. If the owner of the bitch kept a diary, tracking the duration and specifics of each heat, this knowledge will greatly simplify the choice of a suitable date. When choosing a mating day, it is important to know that the traditional scheme, according to which two matings are carried out on the 9th and 11th days, the main and the “control”, is not suitable for every dog. Each bitch has its own individual characteristics, so one will be ready for mating on the 3rd day of estrus, and the second will not allow a male until the 15th. Thus, it is better to check readiness for mating not by records, but at each heat.

There are two ways to determine if a bitch is ready for mating during heat:

1) The bitch is stroked on the thighs and pressed on the lower back below the croup. If the dog is ready to let the male near, it will freeze, tense and move its tail up or to the side.

2) Carefully press on the bottom of the loop, while it should rise and move apart. At this moment, the dog freezes or begins to make short movements with its hips, as if pushing something forward.

Having determined that the dog is ready to mate, it is advisable to pair it with a male dog on the same day. Even after 3 days, the favorable moment may pass and you will have to wait until the next heat.

VII. BREEDING KENNEL

1. The nursery can be registered by a breeder, at least 18 years of age, who has a factory prefix registered with the FCI, zootechnical or veterinary education, or the title of judge of the RKF for breeds, or a certificate of completion of courses (judges, breeding instructors, breeders, breeders, dog handlers).

2. The nursery is registered on the basis of breeding stock. To establish a kennel, its owner must own at least one breeding bitch.

3. The owner of the nursery works with the RKF through member organizations of the RKF.

4.The writing of the name and address of the nursery is submitted to the RKF only in Russian. Transliteration of the name and address of the nursery is carried out by an employee of SOKO RKF.

VIII. KNITTING. ACT OF MATING

1. The fact of mating of dogs (initial and control) is certified by the owner of the dog, the owner of the bitch and, if present, the mating instructor, and is necessarily drawn up with a mating certificate on a form approved by the RKF (see appendix) on the day of mating.

2. Immediately before the mating of dogs (initial and control), the owners of the bitch and male and, if present, the mating instructor, must identify the male and female by the marks on them for compliance with their Certificates of Origin (pedigrees), make sure that they match their pedigrees.

3. After identification, the male and female are mated.

4. Immediately after mating the dogs, the owners of the dog and the bitch and, if present, the mating instructor, draw up and sign a mating certificate on a form approved by the RKF in 3 copies (one for the dog owners and one for registration of the mating in the Mating Registration Book and whelping of the club/kennel and subsequent transfer for registration of the litter in the RKF). The owners of the dog and the bitch, and, if present, the instructor must clearly fill out all the columns of the mating certificate.

5. The owner of the male dog, immediately after filling out and signing the mating certificate in 3 copies, is obliged to provide the owner of the mated bitch with copies of the male’s documents (pedigree, exhibition diplomas, certificates confirming titles, training, testing) necessary for registering the mating and litter of puppies of this breed in the club / nursery and RKF.

6. Dog owners are required to have their signatures on the mating act certified by a notary or in the kennel club of the RKF system, or to attach to the mating act copies of passport pages containing data on the owner’s last name, first name, patronymic and place of registration, on which they put o.

7. The conditions of mating for settlements and financial obligations between the owner of the male dog and the owner of the bitch are determined in a separate agreement according to the rules established by the Civil Code of the Russian Federation.

8. Financial disagreements between the owners of a dog and a bitch are not within the competence of the RKF and can only be resolved in court.

1. Certificate of origin (pedigrees) issued by the RKF or any FCI member country.
2. Admission to pedigree breeding is: either a diploma with a rating of at least “very good” received at any certificated exhibition of the RKF-FCI, or a certificate of passing a breeding review with a positive conclusion on the dog’s admission to pedigree breeding, or a certificate of the championship of a country or national club.
3. For breeds whose standard/breeding requirements specify working qualities, a working test certificate is required.
4. For breeds whose standard/breeding requirements stipulate health tests (dysplasia, cataracts), a certificate of passing these tests is required.
5. The first mating of a bitch can be carried out provided that the bitch reaches the age at the time of mating: – at least 18 months – for bitches of small and medium breeds; – at least 20 months – for females of large breeds; – at least 22 months – for giant breed bitches.

What are your actions?

1. Before mating, you need to download the MATING ACT; when mating abroad, the INTERNATIONAL MATING ACT. It must be filled out in 4 copies, one of which you will need to provide to the club.
2. When the bitch has whelped, you need to notify us by phone call or email.
3. While the puppies are small, think about nicknames. You choose the letter yourself, as well as the next sequence of assigning letters to your next litters. The main condition is that all puppies must be named with the same letter, words in nicknames must not be repeated. Don't forget to think about transliterating nicknames into Latin. Nicknames should not be translated into English. EXAMPLE: The nickname SNOW QUEEN is not SNOW QUEEN, but SNEZHNAYA KOROLEVA.

All documents have been collected, now fill out the following form:

Once we have a complete package of documents and information about the litter in our hands, we will mark the puppies and prepare a LITTER INSPECTION ACT, APPLICATION FOR LITTER REGISTRATION (GENERAL LITTER CARD) and PUPPY METRICS.

At the age of 45 to 90 days, puppies are certified (the presence of deficiencies and malformations is checked). The registration data is entered into the Litter Inspection Report, on the basis of which the Litter General Card and Puppy Metrics are filled out.

What to do if a defect or defect is discovered?

If a deficiency is found (eg one egg in the scrotum, lack of dental formula), the puppy will be re-examined by the club instructor at 6-8 months. This puppy is given a certificate indicating the reason for the re-examination.

If a defect is detected, the puppy is given a metric indicating the remark. The owner will be able to change this metric to the RKF pedigree, but it will contain a note about marriage and the impossibility of breeding use.

After you, as a breeder, have signed the documents and paid the target fee to the club, the documents for the litter are sent to the RKF for registration.
