Dear Angela,
Welcome to the network of Russian owners of Russell Terriers and lovers of these breeds!
Please, find below translation of the answer of the Administrator of this site:
For the imported to Russia Russell Terriers it is not nessesary to have 3 generation pedigree. For dogs with less than 3 generations there is a special register. This register can be opened for the dog after 2 shows. In his/her RKF (Russian Kinological Federation, member of FCI) pedigree, lines of sire and dam will not be filled.
Dogs from Great Britain kennels, which are not members of The Kennel Club, have to be assessed at 2 shows and will be included in the register - this is actually true for all Jack Russells Terriers (under 12 inches) as RKF-FCI accepts pedigrees only of The Kennel Club.
In Russia untill 2010 Jack Russell Terriers with register pedigree have equal rights with dogs with 3 generation pedigree, and they even may have a title of National Champion.
But if your dogs have pedigree of Irish Kennel Club, 3 generations would be VERY MUCH desireble in Russa. Irish Jack Russell Terrier (345) is accepted, recognised by FCI.
Angella, just for your information: it is allowed to import to Russia puppies under 3 months without vaccination against rubies. No problem!
Jack Russell Terrier (GB) - O'K!!!
Welcome!
