American Kennel Club - Open Foundation Stock

Open Foundation Stock

The Foundation Stock Service (FSS) is an AKC program for breeds not yet accepted by the AKC for full recognition, and not yet in the AKC's Miscellaneous class. The AKC FSS requires that at least the parents of the registered animal are known. The AKC will not grant championship points to dogs in these breeds until the stud book is closed and the breed is granted full recognition.

Famous quotes containing the words open, foundation and/or stock:

    “The child ... stands upon a place apart, a little spectator of the world, before whom men and women come and go, events fall out, years open their slow story and are noted or let go as his mood chances to serve them. The play touches him not. He but looks on, thinks his own thought, and turns away, not even expecting his cue to enter the plot and speak. He waits,—he knows not for what.”
    —Woodrow Wilson (1856–1924)

    “A full belly to the labourer was, in my opinion, the foundation of public morals and the only source of real public peace.”
    —William Cobbett (1762–1835)

    “And anyone is free to condemn me to death
    If he leaves it to nature to carry out the sentence.
    I shall will to the common stock of air my breath
    And pay a death tax of fairly polite repentance.”
    —Robert Frost (1874–1963)
