Can I use a k9data pedigree to fill in the dpedigree gaps on my dog?
No. Because the yearbook is the official record of the GRCA, only information from sources of verified parentage goes into it. That usually means AKC- or CKC-certified pedigrees, but could be from registration slips or English pedigrees as well. k9data pedigrees are unverified sources of information and will not suffice for the purposes of the yearbook. The information on your own dogs may be correct in k9data, but there is also incorrect data there and we have no way of knowing which is which, so we cannot use it for the yearbook. If you would like to fill in the holes in your dog’s pedigree, we will ask you for an AKC-certified pedigree or AKC Registration slips. If you have one, you can either email it to us or fax it to 603-664-5600. If you do not have one, you can purchase one online from akc.org and forward it to us for inclusion in the yearbook. The online version costs only $10. The cost of including your dog’s photos and pedigree in the yearbook used to be $35; it is now free
