Rat Terrier Registration Questions?

I tried to contact an e-address I found to ask more specific questions about Single Registrations. There have 2 requests made, and as yet I have not been answered once. So I will ask my questions here.

I have Rat Terriers, standard, black and white with tan point marking. (light facial masks).
I have 2 males from a local Kentucky family who raised nothing else.
Then I puchased 2 unrelated females from an Ohio family.
They are all pure.

I saw photos of their grandsires and granddams, saw photos of the females parents, as well as seeing the parents of my males in person , all of which were duplicates of mine. The people I puchased mine from have moved on and out of the state. I can write their lineage out, but cannot prove it.

In the page on Single Registration you mention being verified pure by an "approved registry". The main questions I have are as follows:
1) What are the approved registries to verify Rat Terriers?
2) Can the registered dogs then be used for breeding?
3) Will their get be legitimate to register then.
4) Is Single Registration a permanent or conditional registration?

I can send digital photos of all my dogs and the parents of the females. The males were purchased before I had a digital camera. I have no way to prove them other than someone seeing them. They are all exactly alike with the exception the female's Ohio owners did not cut tails. As such, my girls are long tailed util I can get them in for the procedure. My males have correctly shortened tails.

I would VERY much appreciate knowing what must be done to get my bunch registered. With their courage, "rat-sense" and true to the breed quality, they deserve it. A year ago I didn't know the breed existed, after the Boys arrived, I can honestly swear I will NEVER have another breed on the place!
I thank anyone in advance who can give me information, or a contact, or some clue as to how to go about this!
WARNING: Anyone requesting pics? I have ALOT of them, they are long downloads, and I have as yet been able to figure out how to compress a file. This "old dog" hasn't learned that particular "new trick" as of yet, so I thought you should know in advance.

One problem with this board is I cannot see your question as I'm answering it. So I've copied your questions below:

) What are the approved registries to verify Rat Terriers?
2) Can the registered dogs then be used for breeding?
3) Will their get be legitimate to register then.
4) Is Single Registration a permanent or conditional registration?


The Rat Terrier is in a foundation stock program whereby our committee is a bit more lenient than say a breed that has been established longer.

Answers:

1. Continental Kennel Club, World Wide Kennel Club, Animal Research Foundation, States Kennel Club, NC, American Canine Assn, Continental Working Terrier Assn, UKCI. If you have other dogs that are not registered with these organizations send as much information as you can and our Committee will review them.

Once a National Association is in place, requirements will be tightened.
