Hi All,

Dear Secretaries,

The Board of Directors at their meeting held in Melbourne on 22 June, 2019 resolved effective immediately to rescind the decision to implement compulsory DNA parentage testing on 1 January 2020.

As a result, Clause 6.13 (refer below) has been removed from ANKC Regulations Part 6 – The Register & Registration:

6.13.1 All puppies whelped after 01 January 2020 and being registered on the ANKC Ltd database as Main Registered are to be Parentage Proven by DNA. All results are to use the International Society for Animal Genetic (ISAG) marker and are to be submitted to the member body prior to registration.
6.13.2 Where a breeder makes application to upgrade a dog to the Main Register then the dog is to be Parentage Proven as per 6.12.1 prior to being upgraded.
6.13.3 Collection and testing of the DNA sample is to be conducted pursuant to protocols at Section 2 of these Regulations.
