How To Apply for a Critique Registration Number

 

 

The purpose of registering a Lhasa Apso with the Gompa Lhasa Apso Preservation Program (GLAPP) is because it or one of its recent ancestors was directly imported from the Region-of-Origin.

 

Ineligibility:

AKC registered dogs or dogs qualified for AKC registration are not eligible. Part-bred Lhasa Apsos are not eligible.

 

Eligibility:

The Lhasa Apso must be considered a pure bred. If the Lhasa Apso is a Region-of-Origin import or if it is descended from a recent Region-of-Origin import, it is eligible to be considered for registration by GLAPP after going through the Critique Registration Application Process. 

 

If the Lhasa Apso is imported directly from the Region-of-Origin, proof of importation (i.e., a veterinary health certificate from the country of origin or an airline bill of lading) must be provided.

 

If the Lhasa Apso is descended from an undocumented Region-of-Origin import and is not registered with any organization, the owner is responsible for providing background information. Incorrect certification may result in rejection or cancellation of registered status.

 

Procedure:

 

1.     Request a Critique Registration Number Application (CRN Application) from the GLAPP Registrar. Instructions are printed on the form.

 

2.     Submit completed CRN Application, five color photographs (head with eyes visible, left side, right side, view from front, view from rear), copy of DNA profile, copy of microchip identification, Critique Registration Fee ($30.00), a pedigree (extended to five generations or as far back as is known), clear copies of all foreign registration certificates to the GLAPP Registrar.

 

-          Five color photographs (head with eyes visible, left side, right side, front and rear).

-          Copy of import documentation, if directly imported.

-          Copy of DNA profiling.

-          Copy of Microchip identification.

-          Critique Registration Fee ($30.00).

-          Pedigree, extended to five generations, or as far back as is known.

-          Clear copies of all registration certificates.

 

3.     For imports, copies of export health certificates and/or other documentation, such as an airline bill of lading, proving Region-of-Origin is required.

 

4.     Include copies of all pertinent background documentation useful in proving the dog is a pure bred Lhasa Apso.

 

5.     When the completed application, photographs, all required documentation, and fees are received by GLAPP, a Critique Case Number (CCN) will be assigned and this Lhasa Apso may be presented for evaluation by three qualified judges approved by GLAPP. If no critique sessions are readily accessible to the Lhasa Apso owner, three GLAPP approved judges may independently evaluate the Lhasa Apso and send the completed Judges Critique Forms directly to the GLAPP Registrar. Critique Judges approved by GLAPP are qualified breed judges and/or knowledgeable, respected breeders.

 

6.     The Critique panel of three judges will record microchip numbers on the critique forms. Measurements will be taken for statistical and identification purposes.

 

7.     The Review Panel (appointed by GLAPP) will study each case to determine final registration status. If the Review Panel considers the Lhasa Apso to be pure bred, and if all registration requirements are met, a Critique Registration Number (CRN) will be assigned and an official GLAPP Registration Certificate With Pedigree will be issued.

 

8.     All dogs that undergo the critique procedure receive a GLAPP CCN whether or not they are ultimately designated as pure bred Lhasa Apsos. This information is retained in the GLAPP archives. If a dog is rejected for registration because it is not adjudged to be a pure bred Lhasa Apso, it will be recorded with the word REJECTED as a suffix to its Critique Case Number (CCN 0000-000-REJECTED).

 

Meaning of the Numbers:

 

CRN              =              Critique Registration Number

0000               =              Chronological sequence of CRNs

000-                =              Year Lhasa Apso is granted CRN

0                      =              Number of generations removed from the Himalayas

                                        0 = Whelped in the Himalayas

                                        1 = One generation removed from the Himalayas

                                        2 = Two generations removed from the Himalayas

                                        3 = Three generations removed from the Himalayas

0/B                 =              Whelped in the Himalayas and not exported

                                        0 = Whelped in the Himalayas

                                        /T = Region-of-Origin  (T-Tibet, B-Bhutan, N-Nepal, S-Sikkim)

                                       

 

9.     Should a grievance occur due to the result of the registration process, an appeal procedure is available. A letter clearly stating the grievance should be sent to the GLAPP Registrar. GLAPP will appoint a review panel to hear the grievance.
