How to change the ownership in the RKF pedigree, if the dog has been sold abroad
Dear friends,
If you have purchased a dog, for which the RKF pedigree has already been issued, and you need to register officially another owner of this dog, you should do the following:
Variant 1: the former dog’s owner is the citizen of the Russian Federation
In this case you should submit to the RKF a filled Form 15, where there will be the former owner’s signature certified by a stamp of any Russian cynological organization. This organization should be a legal body (club).
While signing a purchase/sale agreement, we advise to request the present owner for a filled and certified Form 15 (the seller can certify his signature in any nearest club from the list of recognized ones).
Variant 2: the former dog’s owner is the citizen of any other country
If you have purchased a dog, for which the RKF pedigree has been issued at the name of a foreign country citizen, you have to submit a filled Form 15 with the former owner’s signature that should be certified in accordance with the procedure established in the country of his residence. Differently, you may submit Form 15 with a simple former owner’s signature, plus a document, confirming the new owner’s rights. It may be a purchase/sale agreement or owner’s certificate, issued by a national cynological organization of your country.
In this case you should send to the RKF the original paper pedigree, where the former owner is indicated (it can be done by post).
