IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT
KUSA AFFIX (KENNEL NAME) REGISTRATION
MANDATORY SIMULTANEOUS REGISTRATION ON FCI INTERNATIONAL KENNEL NAME REGISTER 

We are pleased to inform KUSA members with registered KUSA Affixes (Kennel Names) of a new and exciting development that will enhance the status of KUSA Affixes internationally and protect KUSA Affixes from possible duplication, exploitation and expropriation in FCI member countries. 

As a condition of its FCI membership, KUSA is obligated to adhere to the FCI Internal Rules pertaining to Breed Standards, Studbooks and Kennel Names. In assessing the methods through which KUSA might ultimately achieve compliance with FCI Internal Rules in respect of Kennel Names, the Federal Council favoured an incremental approach and, in June 2023, directed the KUSA Office to seek the FCI’s agreement to a proposed Protocol in accordance with which KUSA’s compliance with the FCI requirements with regard to KUSA Affixes would be phased in over a period of five (5) years.
