Any dog who is of Scotch Collie Ancestry (or appears to be of Scotch Collie ancestry if background is unknown) who resembles the breed standard and qualifies in two of the three working categories qualifies for permanent registration. Such a dog must be at least one year old. Dogs of the same background but with unproven working ability are eligible for provisional registration.
Litters that have at least one registered AWFA parent and a remaining parent of a collie breed or approved other breed, may be issued a litter registration. Owners of the individuals of such litters may also apply for permanent registration.
A Certificate of Merit will be given to dogs who qualify in each of the three working categories. In order to qualify for this the owner of the dog must give verifiable evidence of the dog’s working ability in that particular category. This evidence can consist of a video tape or a live observation by a qualified AWF representative.
