NEW USA BREED REGISTRY
USA is proud to announce that the
new USA Breed Registry Program has been completed. Listed below are
the rules for the new Registry and the forms needed to complete a USA
Registration. USA will now be offering their very own
pedigree/registration papers. We hope that USA members will find our
new program much easier and much more convenient to use. Please review
the rules and regulations listed below and feel free to contact me
with your questions.
Thank You,
