Development Register Information and Forms
The Development Register has been extended for another five years from January 2017.
As a new breed, having been accepted in 2002, The Tenterfield Terriers has a development register managed by the NTTC. This register is used to enable breeders to build up the generations behind dogs on our register. A dog must have five generations on its pedigree (including the dog to be registered) before its pedigree can be registered with the Australian National Kennel Club.
It can be confusing to understand the forms required and how the process of breeding your dogs up the 'generation ladder' works. Please contact the Registrar for any questions no matter what the subject on terriertenterfield@yahoo.com. A lot of advice provided by well-meaning people may not be applicable to your situation. The information provided on this page is an attempt to explain the process, however, it is convoluted to comprehend, so feel free to contact the Registrar any time.
If you have a dog that appears to be very similar to a Tenterfield Terrier you can apply to have it accepted as a First Generation Tenterfield Terrier. The NTTC has an acceptance process for these dogs to undergo which involves some of the forms on this page. Consequent litters are placed on the Development Register until there are sufficient generations behind the dog so it can be officially registered with the ANKC. Five generations are required - four pedigree lines plus the dog you are registering. Once this has been done the dog can enter conformation shows and agility competitions.
If you wish to register a mini fox terrier as a Tenterfield Terrier this is possible also. No legal or copyright issues apply.
Most queries can be answered by referring to the application forms part 1 and 2 or refer to our FAQs. It is essential to include all requirements asked of you on the form to ensure processing in a timely manner. If you do not receive your paperwork after four weeks please contact the Registrar via email on kiowah2222@yahoo.com.au in case it has become lost in the mail.
You will see from the forms that the costs involved are minimal ($15). Read the forms first and if you have any queries email our Registrar.
