HOW TO REGISTER A SALUKI WITH THE SPDBS
ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENTS FOR REGISTERING A SALUKI WITH THE
SPDBS
1. The primary function of the SPDBS is
to record and register imported Middle Eastern Salukis, and
their descendants from countries that do not have a western type
registry. To be eligible for consideration, the Saluki must be
considered pure bred with ancestry traceable to its Middle East
country of origin. If the Saluki is not registered with the
American Kennel Club (AKC) because it is a Middle Eastern import
or it is a descendant of an import, it may be eligible for
registration by the SPDBS. Each individual Saluki, in any
generation, seeking SPDBS registration, must go through the same
critique evaluation procedure.
2. What if the Saluki is registered with
an internationally recognized registry such as the United
Kingdom’s Kennel Club (KC), Canadian Kennel Club (CKC), Mexico’s
Federacion Canofila Mexicana (FCM), Germany’s DWZRV or any other
Federation Cynologique Internationale (FCI) affiliate, and meets
the requirements for AKC Registration? The Saluki will be
ineligible for SPDBS registration because it is already eligible
for AKC registration. However, if the Saluki does not meet AKC’s
criteria due to the complications of a Middle Eastern import in
its pedigree, the Saluki may be eligible for SPDBS Registration.
3. Imported Middle Eastern Salukis and
their descendants, which are building a three generation
pedigree within KC, CKC, FCM, DWZRV, any FCI affiliate, or other
internationally recognized dog registry, may be eligible for
SPDBS registration. The SPDBS accepts pedigrees from the AKC and
all the above mentioned registries. Salukis registered with one
of these registries, in the pedigree of a Saluki seeking SPDBS
registration, will be considered to be pure bred. Tribal verbal
pedigrees—where verbal pedigrees are the custom—accompanied with
importation documentation may be considered in establishing
proof of pure breeding.
THE STEPS IN SPDBS REGISTRATION
1. Request a Critique Registration Number (CRN)
Application from the SPDBS Registrar or down load it from the
SPDBS website. Submit the completed registration application,
requested documents, photos and appropriate fee, to the SPDBS
Registrar.
2. Once the completed application,
documentation, photographs, and the correct fee are received by
the SPDBS, the owner will be informed of the schedule and
locations of SPDBS critiques in which the Saluki may be
presented for evaluation by a panel of three or more qualified
judges appointed by the SPDBS. If no timely critiques are
scheduled in a location readily accessible to the Saluki owner,
the SPDBS will appoint three qualified judges who may,
independently, critique the Saluki. Send the original completed
critique forms directly to the SPDBS Registrar. The Saluki owner
is responsible for providing all other documentation. The
registrar will assign the Critique Case Number (CCN) once the
completed critique package is received. The Critique panel will
record any permanent identification (Tattoo/Microchip number) on
the critique form, and will note if DNA testing has been done.
Measurements will be taken for statistical purposes.
3. A packet of all the above information
along with the judges’ critique evaluations will then be
submitted to the SPDBS Registrar. The Review Panel will study
each case to determine the final status. Providing the Review
Panel considers the Saluki to be pure bred, and if all
registration requirements are met, a Critique Registration
Number (CRN) will be assigned and an official SPDBS Registration
Certificate will be issued.
4. All dogs that undergo the critique
procedure receive a SPDBS CCN whether or not they are considered
to be a pure bred Saluki. This information will be kept in the
SPDBS archives. If a dog is considered not to be a pure bred
Saluki, it will be recorded with the word REJECTED as a suffix
to its Critique Case Number (CCN XXX-XXX REJECTED).
5. Should any grievance occur due to the
result of the registration process an appeal procedure is
available. A letter clearly stating the grievance should be sent
to the SPDBS Registrar. The SPDBS chairman will appoint a review
panel to hear the grievance.
