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 Rat Terrier is an American breed descended from the terriers brought over by English miners and other working class immigrants. These dogs were used as ratters, and gambling on their prowess in killing rats was a favorite hobby of their owners. Eventually, these tough little terriers evolved into today’s Rat Terrier. The breed was popularized by President Teddy Roosevelt, who frequently hunted with his Rat Terriers. The Rat Terrier was recognized by the United Kennel Club on January 1, 1999. |
