Scorebooks

Dogs with AKC FSS, AKC PAL, UKC, or FCI registration as a Dutch Shepherd will have their dog's breed listed as a "Dutch Shepherd" in their scorebook. This will allow them to be eligible for National level breed events with WDSAA and AWDF.

Eligibility for International competition varies based on the individual host. In general, FCI paperwork will work for nearly all international trials. If you are interested in competing Internationally with your Dutch Shepherd, please contact us and we will look into the options for your interested trial.

The WPL is currently suspended. The decision was made in lieu of allowing kennel clubs to issue the breed registrations rather than the WDSAA BOD. If you have an unregistered dog and would like it to be listed as a Dutch Shepherd in your scorebook, please look into the accepted registration types to see if your dog may be eligible for registration.

Dogs presented for a scorebook with a BRN number or UKC Bloodline registration will only be eligible to be listed as a "Mix" or "Dutch Shepherd Mix". In the latter case, the dog must be a brindle HHx (Hollandse Herder mix). Interested parties may also look into the process of an AKC PAL or the registration requirements of other kennel clubs. If having the dog listed as a "Mix" holds no bearing, WDSAA will happily issue dogs with a BRN a Mix scorebook.

Yes! WDSAA can issue scorebooks for purebred dogs that do not have a breed club under AWDF. Some examples of breeds would be Australian Shepherds, Poodles, Labrador Retrievers, etc...

Yes, but the process will vary based on which organization issued the scorebook. Please contact us via form or feel free to utilize the BOD emails listed here: https://www.wdsaa.org/about
