NATIONAL GENOMIC POLICY

IDENTITY FIRST. PARENTAGE SECOND.

A verified laboratory DNA profile establishes immutable individual identity for each animal. Parentage verification separately validates qualifications against documented sire and dam genomic markers.

REGISTRATION LIFECYCLE

THE 3-TIER STATUS PIPELINE

Every animal in the registry progresses through a defined, immutable status hierarchy:

STAGE 01 · HISTORICAL

1. FOUNDATION

Historical or unverified stock preserved for pedigree completeness. Upgradable to active status upon submitting complete lab DNA markers.

STAGE 02 · ACTIVE INTAKE

2. PROVISIONAL

Active intake with verified DNA identity profile under 36 months of age, awaiting official 3-year mature height gate inspection.

STAGE 03 · CERTIFIED LIFETIME

3. PERMANENT ✓

Certified lifetime status awarded after passing Registry Admin triage with verified DNA and qualifying mature hip measurement.
