Bloodlines Listing Service

  • Focused on helping newly established breed groups or types, Bloodlines Listing Service provides space for new breed groups to establish their breed stock by offering lineage tracking services to dog owners and breeders
  • Some eligible breeds include: Armenian Gampr, Phu Quoc Ridgeback, Russian Tsvetnaya Bolonka, Hollandse, Mechelse, Duitsh Herders, and the Yakutian Laika.
  • An extension of the Performance Listing program, the Bloodlines Listing Service accommodates individual dogs that don't fit into an existing, defined breed standard and/or who do not meet Single Registration requirements for their desired breed if that breed already exists in the UKC registry.
  • For example, Bully-type dogs not of proper type to fit the UKC American Bully requirements will receive a listing certificate designating them as an American Exhibition Bully instead of a true UKC American Bully. The American Exhibition Bully is not eligible for conformation. These dogs may participate in appropriate UKC performance events.
  • As an extension of the Perfomance Listing program, any type of dog not available from the breed dropdown in the Single Registration section of the UKC website is inelgible to receive a breed type on their return Bloodlines Listing Service paperwork and will be listed as "UNR" (unrecognized).
  • Defined breeds not yet recognized by UKC who would like to utilize Bloodlines Listing Service to further develop their breeds are encouraged to apply for new breed recognition following these steps.

My dog received Bloodlines listing papers back from UKC. What does this mean?
Your dog is eligible for any appropriate UKC performance event, like agility, obedience, dock jumping, and more. Your dog is not eligible for conformation.

Can I breed my dog?
Pups from your dog are not eligible for litter registration unless your dog has a breed type designation. Dogs with "UNR" for Unrecognized are not eligble for breeding rights.

I want my dog to receive Bloodlines listing papers. What should I do?
Apply via Single Registration. Any unrecognized breed will be reflected as UNR for unrecognized. Bully-type dogs not meeting UKC American Bully breed requirements and type will be granted an American Exhibition Bully certificate instead and are not eligible for conformation.

If my dog has Bloodlines credentials, is it UKC registered?
