KENNEL REGISTRATION

Kennel Registration is a completely optional way to commemorate an individual's efforts toward being an active member of the Sims Kennel Association! It adds your kennel to a unique registry of active exhibitors and breeders so that people may more readily find you, in addition to safeguarding your prefixes and suffixes.

It also acts as a tracker of your successes that will open doors to becoming a member of the Breeder of Merit and Bred With Heart programs, should that be of interest.

• Please be advised, individuals will still need to apply for recognition, as admin cannot be expected to monitor all accounts in this way.



In order to have your kennel listed, you will need to complete the following criteria:

• Participate in three months of events within a five month period.
• Achieve an entry-level title on at least four different dogs.
• Have an updated kennel thread with your information.
• Be in good standing with SKA and its staff.


The Breeder of Merit program is a way to reward registered kennels with recognition for all of their incredible accomplishments. It is a completely optional pursuit, but something we wanted to add to congratulate active participants for their breeding practices.

In order to achieve this status, you will need to complete the following criteria: 

• Members must have a history of at least six real-life calendar months worth of activity with SKA.
• Have earned Conformation, Performance, or Companion titles on a minimum of 15 dogs bred by the exhibitor. Test titles do not count.
• A minimum of 100 posts must have been made on the forum.
• All parents must be titled prior to breeding following acceptance into the Breeder of Merit program.

Rewards for achieving Breeder of Merit status include: access to a BoM Marketplace which offers a unique way to advertise litters and also gives access to a "Secret Shop" of custom content offered by our volunteers.


The Bred With Heart program is a uniquely role-play based title to be earned after achieving kennel registration. As SKA does not require many of the extra roleplay supplements to participate, this is something offered as a reward to those that enjoy these activities.

In order to achieve this status, you will need to complete the following criteria:

• All stock bred within the four months leading up to applying must have health testing publicly available. Results should furthermore be available prior to any future breeding.
• Puppies born within the kennel should have vaccination records supplied to buyers and also publicly available.
• Litters should be documented with story posts including elements of any of the following: Early Neurological Stimulation (ENS), Puppy Culture, Volhard Aptitude testing, and so on.



If you believe you qualify for any of the above, please find our location conveniently located here.


We are always looking for more ways to make the things that SKA offers meaningful and fun. Please let us know if you'd like to see something added to kennel registration!
