If you've come this far, this means you've reached STEP 6 in our approval process. Please review below before continuing to upload documents:
STEP 1: Go to the Breeder’s Login page and sign the Code of Ethics. Once you sign the DPCNA Code of
Ethics, you will be granted access to the password protected breeder’s page with all the e-forms
you will need.
STEP 2: Look for the e-Conformation Exam and upload all of the required photos. We have provided
examples for you emulate. The Board will convene an e-Meeting to grade your Drent.
STEP 3: Wait for your e-Conformation Exam results. With passing results, you should proceed to the next
step.
STEP 4: Seek out an AKC Canine Good Citizen exam for your Drent and provide documentation that your
dog passed and/or is a certified therapy or service dog. Also, your Drent may be evaluated by a
Board Member.
STEP 5: Start your dog’s health testing, this has two steps:
a) Get the CAER exam for your dog’s eyes done first, it isn’t expensive, but finding a qualified
veterinarian can be tricky. If you have a “normal” passing result, move onto the last item.
b) Schedule your Drent to have his/her hips and elbows x-rayed and sent off to OFA.
STEP 6: Upload PDF copies of the documents: Conformation, Temperament, Eyes, Elbows, and Hips to
the “Approve Me” page
PLEASE NOTE: Domestically bred/born Drents with AKC LIMITED Registrations MUST have upgraded to FULL prior to being approved.
PDF versions are much higher quality and simpler for organizational purposes. If you don't have a scanner, then you likely have a smart phone. The FREE app GENIUS SCAN is a great tool.
