The Kennel Club Assured Breeders scheme - stud dog membership
£25.00
For reference, the breeding age for a stud dog is between 1 and 12 years. Applicants with a stud dog only, who do not intend to breed litters, are required to list all current breeding stock upon application, to ensure any breed-specific requirements are in place before being accepted as an assured breeder. Checks on breeding history are carried out at the time of application submission.
Payment Terms
An initial administration fee of £25 is payable upon submission of your application, the ABS team will provide a payment link via email to take the remaining £60 joining fee* once your application has been reviewed.
Please note that you will need to receive a breeder assessment visit every three years to ensure that you comply with the scheme requirements. The annual membership fee covers the cost of each visit.
