Registration

[Vickie]

Does anyone know if it's possible to take main or limited registered dog and reregister it as an Associate?

[Ptolomy]

MY friend did - she had a main register BC and had a huge disagreement with the breeder - so she reregistered him as an associate with a pet name, but was upfront with Dogswest and was able to take all his obedience titles with him.

Thanks Ptolomy

anyone heard of Dogs NSW allowing it?

Regulations re tthe associate register would vary from state to state. I imagine the dog would have to be deregistered from the MR/LR then regestistered on the AR

From DogsNSW registraion regulations

Voluntary De-registration

17.1 An application for de-registration of a dog will not be accepted unless:

(a) the application is made by all persons then shown as registered owners, and

(b) the registered owners have been registered as the owners for a period of not

less than 3 years, or

© where the registered owners have been registered as owners for a period of

less than 3 years, the application is accompanied by written evidence

acceptable to the Board of Directors of the consent of the previous

registered owners to the proposed de-registration.

and

Registration - The Associate Register

4.1 A dog shall only be eligible for registration in the associate register if:

(a) it is ineligible for registration in the main register or the limited register;

I think a person would have to write to the Board asking for permission for it to be done and giving a good reason as to why the person wanted it done.

No much help I know.

Would the dog have to be desexed as well? I think that's how it works if you want to register a dog of unknown breeding for dogs sports in SA.
