These are the procedures and forms you
will need to begin the process of obtaining
BCOA approval for your dog imported from
Africa to apply as Basenji Foundation Stock
with the American Kennel Club.

 

The American Kennel Club is allowing the Studbook for Basenjis to remain open from January 1, 2009 through December 31, 2030.  All Native Stock applying as Basenji Foundation Stock must go through the AKC approved procedures outlined in the document "Procedures for Submitting Native Stock."

These deadlines have been changed with the approved amendments [2014-02M] and will keep the Project on track for publication in the second quarter BCOA Bulletin.
