MASCUSA ended their registry services in 2016 but the AKC studbook for this breed remains open. MASCSUA entered into a contract with Stock Dog Registry Services to continue the registry services that had previously been provided by the club. Stock Dog Registry Services is the only registry selected by MASCUSA through which dogs can be registered with AKC. |
