HTCA DNA

When is it required to DNA my HTC?

     As of November 1st, 2019 all BREEDING dogs (just the sire and dam) are required to be DNA profiled BEFORE the litter can be registered. Any two dogs that were bred on or after the above date will need to be DNA profiled BEFORE the litter will be registered. 

Thing to know:​​

• You can sill breed the dogs even if they've not been DNA profiled yet. you only have to DNA them so the litter can be registered. Don't panic, you have time.

• Owners have a year from the day of whelping (birth) to register their litter. In an extreme situation, say you have 1 day left before the litter will no longer be eligible for registration. Go ahead and order the DNA kits for the sire and dam and register the litter. The litter won't get processed till our office receives the DNA kits for the parents but you'll have everything submitted on time and will now be waiting on us. 

• The litter does NOT have be be DNA profiled. Please read that again. 

• Summary: In order to register a litter, the parents of that litter have to be DNA profiled. If you're coming upon deadlines, order the DNA kits and register the litter so your part is done.
