A a breed registry , also known as herdbook , studbook or register , in fancy ranch and hobby animals, is a list official animals in certain types whose parents are known. Animals are usually registered by their breeders when they are young. The terms studbook and register are also used to refer to the list of male animals "standing in stud", ie, the animals are actively proliferating, compared to any known specimen from breed it. Such registry typically issues certificates for each recorded animal, called pedigree , pedigreed animal documentation , or most commonly, "animal letters" . The registration paper may consist of a simple certificate or a list of ancestors in the animal's background, sometimes with a chart showing lines of descent.

Types of registrars
There are breed registries and breed clubs for several animal species, such as dogs, horses, cows and cats. The US Zoo and Aquarium Associations (AZA) also keeps stud books for prison species that are on display ranging from aardvark to zebra.
The Kennel Club always maintains registries, either directly or through affiliated dog-dog clubs. Some multi-breed clubs also maintain registries, as do non-affiliated breed clubs, and there are some registries managed by other private entities such as insurance agents; this example in the United States is Field Dog Stud Book. The organization of working dogs also maintains registries.
There are also entities that refer to themselves as registrars, but which are covert marketing tools for adult dog vendors and dogs, as well as collection tools for registration fees from unknown novice dog owners with reputable breeding registries and clubs. Although these agencies generally focus on dogs, especially in relation to the puppy factory industry, some are marketed as cat registries. At least one group claims to register wild species (held by private individuals instead of by legitimate zoological parks, using AZA).
Horse breeding also has problematic registries, especially for certain color offspring. While many color offspring are legitimate, some "registrars" are primarily a marketing tool for poor quality animals that are not accepted for registration by a more important organization. Another "recording" is a marketing effort to create new horse breeds, usually by breeders who use crossbreeding to create new breeds, but the animals have not breed properly.
Many such questionable registrants are included as a non-profit commercial business, in contrast to the official non-profit status of the most prominent breed clubs. They can provide volume discounts for registration by commercial dog breeders such as dog factories. An immoral registry for dogs or horses is often seen by policy to require no genealogical evidence at all. In the world of dogs, such registrants may not sponsor the competition, and thus can not provide championship points to identify the best individuals listed in certain breeds or species. In a world of poorly organized horse shows, where many different organizations sanction, some groups sponsor their own competition, although victories in such events rarely bring much pride among the mainstream.
Some registers have the word "registry" in their titles used in the sense of "list"; these entities are not listed in the usual sense because they do not maintain breeding records. In the world of dogs, registered animals must be removed by sex. The American Mixed Compliance Registry is an example. Some equestrian organizations create a recording system to keep track of horse competition records, but, although horses of any gender may be recorded, they also do not maintain breeding records or progeny. The United States Horse Federation is one of the organizations that uses such a system.

Book type stud
Closed
The closed stud book is a stud book or a breeding registry that does not receive outside blood. The listed animals and all subsequent breeds traced back to the foundation stock. This ensures that the animal is a member of this pure breed race. On horses, the closed book sample book is The Thoroughbred, with stud book search until 1791. American Kennel Club is an example of a kennel club with closed books for dogs; allow new breeds to be developed under its Foundation Service, but the dogs are not eligible for competition in the AKC conformational show. To breed to move to the Miscellaneous class and then to fully recognized status, the breeds stud book should be closed.
The closed stud book allows the breed to remain very pure for its kind, but limits its ability to be improved. This can make the breed in a less favorable position, especially in the appearance discipline, where an animal is more valuable if it succeeds in a competition even if it is not pure. It also limits the pool of genes, which can create certain undesirable characteristics to be emphasized in the breed, such as poor conformation errors or illness. That, too, depending on the original figures and management practices, can lead to an ever-increasing inbreeding rate.
Some closed stud books, especially for certain European descendants such as seahorses and Trakehner, may also have a set of studbook election criteria in which animals must meet conformational standards, performance standards, or both.
Open
In open stud books, animals may be registered even if their parent or previous ancestor is not previously registered to a particular entity. Usually an open stud stud has strict student selection criteria that require animals to meet certain standards of conformation, performance or both. This allows breeders to modify the breed by including individuals who are in accordance with breed standards but are from outside. Some horse breeds allow for crossbreeding that meet certain criteria to be enrolled. One example is the semi-open stud book of the American Quarter Horse, which still accepts Thoroughbred breeds, mainly through the appendix of the registry. Among dogs, an open sample stud book is a registry managed by the American Kennel Club as its Foundation Foundation Service. In some cases, an open stud book may eventually be closed once breeds are considered fully regulated.
In some agricultural breeds, the closed-ended registry includes a grading-up route for merging cross-breeded animals. Often the merging is confined to females, with the progenies being accepted only as full genealogies after several generations breed into full-blooded males. Such mechanisms also allow the incorporation of purebred animals derived from unregistered stocks or from uncertain breeds.
The more controversial open-ended study books are where there are few, if any qualifications for animals other than one trait, such as "color breed," especially when color is not a true breeding characteristic. However, some breeds have a standard color or color preference which is one of the criteria among others that is used to register animals.
Attachment recording
Some open or partially open registrars may permit animals that have some but not all qualifications for full enrollment to remain incorporated in an early recording system often called a "registry" attachment. The most prominent is the United States Horse Association, which allows Part-Thoroughbred/Part-Quarter Horse to be recorded and shown, with full registration allowed after the horse achieves a set performance or a standard as feasible on the feasibility list.. Appendixes of other applicants are seen in certain horse-colored races, such as Appaloosa, American Paint Horse, and American Cream Draft Horse, in which foals with the right pedigree for registration but do not meet the color standards for breeds, yet can still carry the genetics required in a form that is otherwise minimal, can be registered and cultured for fully registered animals, with subsequent breeds eligible to be enrolled if they meet breed standards.
Performance or achievement
Another form of open registry is a registry based on performance or conformation, called in some communities Registry in Merit. In the registrant, eligible animals that meet certain criteria are eligible to be enrolled on achievement, regardless of their ancestors. In some cases, even an unknown or undocumented ancestor may be allowed.
The register on Merit or ROM may be associated with a percentage of lineage, conformation, or classification or may be based solely on performance.
In the horse world, many breeds of warmblood organizations require standards of conformation and performance for registration, and often allow horses from different breeds to qualify, although the documented genealogy is usually necessary. Some registrars multiply using a form of ROM in which the horses on certain occasions can be classified. For example, at a qualifying show in Australia, winning stock-type breeding horses receive points for conformation, as evidenced by the judges and recorded in the owner's special book. Points are collected to eventually generate the Registry in Merit.
Registry on Merit is common with registrars of sheep dogs, especially those from Border Collie, and some other breeds with a heavy emphasis on work ability. In this type of ROM, conformation and breeds of dogs are generally not a problem.
Papers
The breed registry usually issues certificates for each of the animals listed, called pedigree , pedigreed animal documentation , or most commonly, "letters" of animals. The registration paper may consist of a simple certificate or a list of ancestors in the animal's background, sometimes with a chart showing lines of descent. Usually, there is room for a list of consecutive owners, who must sign and document dates if the animal is gifted, leased or sold. Papers transferred on the sale of animals can be submitted to the registry to update proprietary information, and in many cases, the registry will then publish a new set of papers that lists the new owner as the right horse owner. Original documents can often be identified as containing the names and registered numbers of each animal and date of birth, the name of the organization which proves, with the logo if there is, the name and signature of the registrar or other authorized person, and the company seal or stamp.
Documents typically included in certificates or registration papers include:
- the name of the father (father) and dam (mother)
- the name of another ancestor, with the number of generations required by the publishing organization
- In dogs, the animal details are from
- colors and tagging
- the name, address and registered number of the breeder (often defined as the female owner at the time of conception or birth of the animal)
- the name and address of the original owner who registered the foal.
Registration papers are sometimes used as title certificates, although legally they are not like that, unlike vehicle and plane registration letters.
Cross-breeding and captive returning
In some registries, breeders may apply for permission to cross other breeds to the line to emphasize certain traits, to keep breeds from extinction or to reduce the problems caused to breeds by inbreeding from restricted animals. The associated preservation method is rear marriage, which is used by some horse and dog registers, in which crossed individuals are married back to purebred to remove unwanted properties acquired through crosses.
Names and registered naming traditions
The naming rules vary according to the species and the breeds listed. For example, showing a horse having registered name , that is the name registered as pure race with an appropriate breed registry, and a race dog intended for sport indicating conformation must be registered with the kennel club where they will compete; and although there are no special naming requirements, there are many traditions that can be observed in naming.
Along with registered names , these animals often also have a simpler "pet name" known as nickname for dogs or stable names > for horses, used by the owner or his guard when speaking with animals. For example, the famous racehorse, Man, War, is known by its stable name, "Big Red." His name can be anything that animal owners like. For example, the dog who won the 2008 Westminster show (USA) was named Ch K-Run's Park Me In First, under the nickname "Uno".
The dogs on the list of dogs working dogs (especially shepherd dogs) usually have to have simple monikers and no further ado that are considered "dog worker names" such as "Pal," "Blackie," or "Ginger." The naming rules for independent dog clubs vary but are usually similar to kennel clubs.
Registered names often refer directly or indirectly to animal farmers. Traditionally, the prefix kennel breeders formed the first part of the registered dog's name. For example, all dogs raised in the Golden Mine of the Coop will have a name beginning with the words Gold Mine. Horse breeders are usually not required to do this, but often find it as a good commercial form of promotion to include a stable name or animal initials with a horse name. For example, the Gold Mining Mine can name all horse names with the prefix "Gold Mine", "GM", or "GMS." The Jockey Club, which lists Thoroughbreds, needs a stable name to register, but does not require its use in animal names.
Many breeders of dogs name their puppies sequentially, based on litter identification: Puppy groups can be set as Litter A, Litter B, and so on. When this is done, the names of all puppies in trash A begin with the letters "A," then "B" for B garbage and so on. Horse breeders, especially in Europe, sometimes use the first letter of the name of the dam as the first letter on behalf of all the offspring. Other breeders can use the same first letter to designate all the foals born on the farm in a given year.
Some breeders make names that combine or recognize the names of ancestors, dams or other ancestors. For example, Doc O'Lena's famous cut horse by Doc Bar of Poco Lena, daughter of Poco Bueno. Some names are slightly less direct; 2003 The winner's Kentucky Derby Funny Cide is by Distorting Humor out of Belle's Good Cide, and the famous Polynesian horseman riding the horse out of Geisha.
Other breeders use themes. For example, a more imaginative breeder at the Golden Mine of the Coop may name all puppies from one garbage after a green gem: Emerald Gold Mine, Jade Gold Mine, and > Peridot Gold Mine . The name for the next trash may begin with an adjective describing the precious stones: Spill Gold Miner, Brilliance Gold Mine, and the Chatoyant Gold Mine. Breeders may be as creative or as worldly as they want to be.
To minimize the irregularities that can be carried by long and fancy names, registrars usually limit the total number of characters and sometimes the number of separate words that might compose the names of the listed animals. They are often forbidden to use only punctuation or strange capitalization to create a unique name; names are often published in all capitals on registration papers. Breeders are generally not allowed to use any name that may be obscene or misleading, such as the word 'champion' in the name, trademark, or anything that can be misconstrued for other kennel names or, sometimes, stable. Only after the animals have reached the legitimate championship, some registrars will allow the use of the Ch'i prefix. or any other title before or after their registered name. Some registrars may use symbols to specify a particular individual status. The * star can be used to designate animals born in another country and imported. A plus can be used to designate a champion or an animal under a special enrollment status.
