Application for registration as Foundation Stock

The application requires three color photographs of the dog (front and both sides), photos of any offspring, import details, ownership records, and health testing results.

Three hands-on evaluations are also required: one from a long-time breeder, one from an AKC basenji-breeder judge, and one from an AKC breed judge qualified to judge basenjis.

Scores: 0 (Unacceptable), 1 (Poor), 2 (Fair), 3 (Good), 4 (Very Good), 5 (Excellent). An average score of Fair (2) or better is required for submission to the Board of Directors.

A majority Board vote of approval is required before a dog goes to the general membership vote. A two-thirds approval vote of the membership, on dogs organized by area of import, is required for inclusion in the stud book.

For more details about the application procedures, see the Petition to Open the AKC Studbook for Native Stock Basenjis or the Procedures for Submitting Native Stock.
