New Rules for the Accredited Breeder Scheme Stud Book Accolade
The Kennel Club has updated the rules governing its Accredited Breeder Scheme Stud Book Accolade, so that it is now more accessible to breeders of non-CC breeds.

Previously this accolade was restricted to breeders who had bred three dogs which had won their way into the Kennel Club Stud Book. Now, however, Accredited Breeders are able to claim the Stud Book Accolade if they have bred three dogs of a non-CC breed which have each won Best of Breed in breed classes and/or Imported Register classes at three UK championship shows.

Accredited Breeders of non-CC breeds who wish to apply for this accolade should send the names of three dogs they have bred, as well as their three qualifying championship show wins, to abs@thekennelclub.org.uk or Accredited Breeder Scheme, The Kennel Club, 1 – 5 Clarges Street, Piccadilly, London W1J 8AB.
