Foundation Stock Registration

(F-1) and Beyond

The National American Alsatian Registry's Foundation Stock Registry™ (FSR)™ allows Outcrosses of the American Alsatian to continue to develop while providing them with the security of a reliable and reputable avenue to maintain their records.

          The Foundation Stock Registry™ is not a requirement for owners of an outcross who want to achieve full NAAR recognition, however, select FSR™ outcrosses may now compete in Companion Events. Outcrosses must have three generation pedigrees recorded in the FSR™. Recording your dog in FSR™ can help catapult your dog into NAAR competition.

          Furthermore, those FSR™ dogs that become eligible to compete in Companion Events have the opportunity to apply to participate in NAAC Performance Events that pertain to the breed's original purpose.

How Dogs Enter the FSR™

The National American Alsatian Registry considers requests to enter FSR™ from individual dog owners of an outcross f-1 (or above) American Alsatians. Those wishing to pursue recording as FSR™ must:

Provide a written history documenting the dogs linage over a period of three generations. The source of the historical information must also be provided.
Provide photographs, including puppies and adults, as well as both dogs and bitches.

The NAAR only considers adding to the FSR™ or its registry upon request.

FSR™ Recording and Certificates

When a dog is recorded in the Foundation Stock Registry™, it is issued a numbered American Alsatian Registration Certificate with the letter (F) on it. This certificate indicates that the dog is the product of an acceptable outcross with one parent being that of a registered American Alsatian. In some cases, a breeder will determine that a dog should be recorded with "limited" status. A limited Registration Certificate indicates that no offspring of the dog is eligible to be recorded in the FSR™.

Dogs with two generation pedigrees, one generation pedigrees or names of sire and dam only, are eligible for enrollment in FSR™ as the foundation stock of future generations.

Note: Any dog that has less than a three generation pedigree will not automatically move into full NAAR recognition.

What is next?

If your goal is NAAR recognition please consider the action items below after your dog is in the FSR™. The recognition process begins with admission of your dog to the Out Cross Class (f-1 or above).

Stay in contact. The NAAR moves forward with recognition of dogs whose fanciers want the dog to be recognized. Maintaining regular contact with FSR™ staff will show your enthusiasm for and commitment to NAAR recognition.
