Regulamento de Criação de Cães
Regulamento de Criação de Cães · Confederação Brasileira de Cinofilia
The breeding and pedigree rules of Brazil’s national kennel club, the voluntary standard beneath registered purebred breeding in the country.
01 What It Is
The Regulamento de Criação de Cães is the dog-breeding regulation of the Confederação Brasileira de Cinofilia (CBKC), Brazil’s national kennel body and the country’s affiliate of the Fédération Cynologique Internationale. It is a voluntary standard, binding on those who breed and register pedigree dogs through the CBKC system rather than on every owner, and the current text dates from 2021.
02 What It Covers
It sets the conditions for breeding and registering purebred dogs: rules on consanguinity in mating, the registration of a breeder’s kennel name (afixo), and the registration of litters. It sits within a wider CBKC framework that includes separate regulations for kennel-name registration, litter registration and a companion-only Pedigree Pet record.
03 How It Is Checked
Compliance runs through the CBKC and its federated clubs, which administer the studbook and the pedigree system. A breeder who does not meet the rules cannot register litters or obtain pedigrees through the CBKC, so the regulation is enforced by access to recognition rather than by law.
04 Why It Matters
For purebred dogs in Brazil this is the standard that gives a pedigree its meaning, tying registration to recorded parentage and breeding rules rather than to an unverified claim. It is the national counterpart to the kennel-club breeding standards that operate in other countries.
