Any animal that is registered with another breed association is eligible for registration with ASA, this is called a foundation animal.
Foundation registration is an in-house process. To start the registration process, please submit a copy of the primary Association’s registration certificate to the ASA office. If you do not have a copy of the certificate, you can pull a copy (or snapshot) off of the other breed’s on-line registry site.
You can either mail, email, or fax this information to the ASA office. You will need to provide your membership account number for billing, and you will need to request for ASA to register this animal.

If your Foundation animal(s) are being used as an AI sire or a Donor Dam, further information will need to be provided to ASA from the primary breed association in order for the animal to be approved for AI or Donor use with ASA.
