The Trinidad and Tobago Kennel Club will normally only accept for registration dogs from overseas countries where The TTKC has reciprocal agreements with the overseas Kennel Club or from countries which have full membership, associate membership or contract partnership of the F.C.I.
Application for the registration of a dog imported from other countries may be considered by the Committee, provided that the application is made BEFORE the dog is imported.
Imported dogs will normally only be accepted for those breeds recognized by The Trinidad and Tobago Kennel Club, but applications for importing other established foreign breeds will be considered, providing that an application is made BEFORE the dog is imported.
All imported dogs will have the letters “IMP” added to their TTKC registered name.
The name of a dog imported from, and already registered in another country, cannot be changed except by the addition of an owner’s affix, which can be incorporated free of charge at registration. It is permitted to use any one of the following words: – of, at, with, to, among, by, from, in, through, via, between, for, under, over.
Bitches imported in whelp (To be noted on the Certified Export Pedigree) are to be registered with The TTKC. The litter will then be registered on a litter registration form accompanied by a certified three generation pedigree issued from the country of origin for the sire.
