Image Guidelines: These are best practices for high quality images. The SCPS desires to evaluate only the truest representation of your dog; please assist us by submitting the best quality photos of your dog that you can.
- Minimum image size of 2000 x 2000 (large enough to capture detail and magnify)
- Dog should be standing on a hard surface
- Still images
- Contrasting background
- At dog's eye level
- Natural light is better
- Dog should be centered in the photo and large enough to see well
- No candid or snapshot-type images, please
- No people in the image

3. REGISTRATION INFORMATION
❑ Requested Registration Name
The SCPS requires that your dog’s Registered name begin with the Breeder’s Kennel Prefix. It is preferred that if the new Owner is also a Breeder, they include their own Kennel Prefix in the Registered Name as well, but it must never precede the Breeder’s prefix. The purpose of this requirement is to facilitate the ease of pedigree study.
For dogs already enrolled in another registry: These dogs will not be required to follow the SCPS Naming Convention. We will not require our Members to manage more than one registration name for the same dog. Going forward, any of that dog’s progeny will be required to follow the SCPS Registry's Naming Convention.
NOTE: REGISTERED NAMES CANNOT BE CHANGED ONCE A DOG IS ENTERED INTO THE REGISTRY. PLEASE CHOOSE CAREFULLY AND DOUBLE-CHECK SPELLING AND FORMAT.
❑ Other registries: list & images of Registration Certificates
You must verify that you have purchased Full Registration and/or All Breeding Rights from Breeder.
4. PEDIGREE
❑ Breeder/Kennel name
❑ Sire and Dam
❑ 6-Generation pedigree: Please submit your dog's six-generation pedigree, as completely as possible. You may provide a screenshot, scan, or a link to where your dog's pedigree resides in another registry or official website. If you cannot provide at least a 3 generational pedigree, you will be required to either (1) perform a Genetic test to show your dog is purebred Collie without a pedigree, OR (2) your dog must appear to be 75% or more Collie, and will be considered an outcross.
5. ACTIVITIES & TITLES
❑ Titles: list & images of Title Certificates: these may be screenshots, scans, or images of original certificates.
6. HEALTH & GENETICS
❑ Image of the Health Certificate [Download here]: Please download and print the Veterinary Health Certificate form for your Vet to sign. OR, you may use another health exam previously submitted to another Registry, Association, or Organization, if it is less than two years old.
Genetic testing required for evaluation is CEA (Collie Eye Anomaly) and MDR1 (Multi-Drug Resistance Gene).
Before 2nd breeding you will need genetic testing for CN (Cyclic Neutropenia/Grey Collie Syndrome), DM (Degenerative Myelopathy), and VWD-II (Von Willebrand disease type 2). Testing can come from any lab that tests for genetic diseases in canines. If parents have been tested their tests can be submitted to show if your dog is clear by parentage, carrier, or affected.
NOTE: In an effort to streamline the registration process, the SCPS board has decided unanimously to provide a simpler Health Certificate that expedites the registration application process. This updated form eliminates the physical examination previously required.
If you have already completed the previous physical examination certificate that will still be accepted. (SCPS will also accept any other Veterinary physical examination form completed within the past two years.)
