Chinook Club of America FAQ [ AKC | AKC & Chinooks | AKC & crossbred dogs | CCA | Dog ownership ] AKC What is the AKC FSS?
The Foundation Stock Service is an optional record keeping service for all purebred breeds not currently registrable with the American Kennel Club. The AKC has more than 100 years of experience protecting the integrity of registries for purebred dogs. Additionally, the Chinook breed along with nearly half of the FSS breeds, meets the requirements to be eligible to compete in all venues of AKC Companion Events (obedience, tracking, agility and rally) as an FSS breed. We can participate in these right now! While not a requirement to move into the Miscellaneous Class and on to full AKC recongnition, the FSS is a great place for rare breeds to start and there are currently more than 60 breeds taking advantage of the program.
