AUSTRALIAN NATIONAL KENNEL COUNCIL Ltd
REGISTRATION OF FROZEN SEMEN AND OTHER PROCEDURES
Amended - May 2010,
Amended - October 2010
Frozen semen from local or imported dogs must be registered at the time of or prior to application for
registration of a litter from that semen.
The owners of semen will be issued with Certificates of Registration of Semen if they apply for it, much
the same as the current Registration Certificates.
The registration of semen makes it easier to facilitate paperwork in relation to registering puppies and
selling of semen.
The procedures for registration of puppies got from frozen semen will be simplified and will require the
owner of the semen to sign the stud certificate as would be the case in a normal mating.
Owners of registered semen will now have the opportunity to officially trade in semen.
Transfer of semen will occur in the same way as the sale of a puppy, by the simple transfer of semen on
the reverse side of the Semen Certificate.
The following documentation will be necessary to be supplied at the time of registration of local or
imported frozen semen:
1.
1.
2.
3.
4.
Application form to reregister the imported semen;
Original or certified copy (must be legitable) of three generation pedigree (of imported semen
and has not been previously registered);
Copy of the ownership certificate;
Copy of the semen collection certificate;
Copy of AQIS final clearance certificate (if imported).
Member Bodies are authorised to make such arrangements as they require to satisfy themselves as to
the ownership and authenticity of local or imported frozen semen collected prior to the date of
commencement of this regulation.
The relevant forms can be obtained from the controlling body in your state or territory.
The ANKC Ltd has also resolved that in future puppies got from artificial insemination by frozen local or
overseas semen will not be required to have the letters AI after their name. Instead the words Semen
and the country of origin of the semen will be shown after the name of the sire on all documentation.
These new regulations do not apply to the artificial insemination of local fresh or chilled semen. The
current procedures will continue to apply as far as these are concerned.
