Thank you for your request.
It is important to take note of the SABT's registration process that
is quite different from the usual.
This page provides an overview of the SABT registration process but please make
sure to also read the pages concerned with litter announcements and appraisals.
If an SABT registered female and male Boerboel get a litter, the breeder can choose
to announce the litter (only some of the pups or all of them) to the SABT. At this
time the announced pups are NOT registered but they (only the announced ones) are noted
in the SABT database as potentially registerable pups and electronic (PDF format)
SABT birth certificates are emailed
to the breeder. More details
on litter announcement can be found here.
No sooner than the age of 12 months can an announced pup be appraised and if
the pup passes the minimum of 75% (subject to change/increase), the pup gets registered and an official
registration certificate is issued. Another
page talks about appraisals.
Please note that a puppy can be announced by the breeder as not suitable for breeding. Such
pup's birth certificate indicates the relevant status and those pups are not eligible for
registration.
A dog must be at leat 12 months old before it can be taken into the appraisal ring.
The minimum of 75% could be taken up in the future. Thus be careful how you write your sales
contracts around this minimum figure.
Boerboels with SABT birth certificates or SABT birth announcement receipts are eligible to be appraised
for acceptance into the SABT registry should they score the minimum of 75%. Till the end of 2008
only EBBASA and HBSA dogs will be allowed to be appraised and taken back into the SABT registry. In
2009 only SABT dogs will be eligible to be appraised.
Please note that if you bring a dog in for an appraisal and you do not have its SABT pedigree and fail
to produce it within three weeks after the appraisal date, you will forfeit the appraisal monies.
