DNA Requirements for Frozen Semen
The current UKC policy requires that any Sire collected after January 1, 1997 must have a DNA profile on record with UKC before any litter resulting from the use of his frozen semen can be registered.
As a service to our customers, we recognize the DNA profiling conducted through other dog registries that also use MMI Genomics. If this sire has already been DNA Profiled through MMI Genomics, the profiling can be updated into UKC records by submitting a completed Application for DNA Profiling, a copy of the MMI Genomics Certificate of DNA Analysis and a processing fee of $8.00.
If this sire has not been DNA profiled through MMI Genomics, please contact United Kennel Club to purchase a DNA test kit that can be used to obtain a DNA sample from the dog. The DNA sample should be forwarded to our office along with this letter and a processing fee of $45.00. Once the DNA profile for this sire is complete, we will then complete the registration of the above referenced litter as quickly as possible.

The immediate ancestor of the Toy Fox Terrier is the larger Smooth Fox Terrier. Owners of these brave little dogs found that the smallest, which they called "runts", were the scrappiest of the bunch. These little dogs were prized for their temperament. Smaller dogs were developed and eventually were found in the seven-pound range. The United Kennel Club began registering the Smooth Fox Terrier in 1912. Between then and the mid-1920's, the Toy Fox Terrier was developed, being a miniature of the previous breed, however they were still registered under the name of Fox Terrier (Smooth). Those dogs appear almost identical to the dogs of today. It was not until February 24, 1936, that U.K.C. began registering the Toy Fox Terrier under its current name. |
