*****Effective Immediately*****

Foreign-born litters that have two Miniature American Shepherd parents recorded with AKC/FSS may submit these litters directly to AKC utilizing the FSS Litter Application. This policy was implemented by AKC because the Miniature American Shepherd is an American developed breed which is not currently recognized in other countries. Foreign-born litters of this breed may continue to be directly submitted to AKC upon full recognition. This policy will remain in effect until such time as each individual foreign country recognizes this breed. Upon recognition by an individual foreign country, these litters will be required to be submitted to that country's recognized registry.
