In order to qualify pups of a litter as lowa-whelped pups, the Iowa owner of the dam shall file a copy of her national registration papers (front and back), together with an Iowa Form GH-3 with the department within ten days prior to the expected whelping date of the litter. Late filings of GH-3 forms postmarked after the whelping date of the litter will not be accepted. After the GH-3 form is received by the department, a department inspector must inspect the dam and litter.
Within 30 days after litter registration with the National Greyhound Association, the original litter acknowledgment must be received by the department. A copy of the owner's driver's license, voter registration, or any other valid proof of residency of all first-time litter applicants must accompany the litter acknowledgment. Any late litter registrations will be assessed a penalty of $25. Litters over six months old will not be accepted for registration. After the litter registration, Form GH-1, is received by the department, a department inspector must inspect the litter. When the application for individual dog registration is made to the National Greyhound Association, the original registration certificate (yellow copy) or the onionskin shall be provided to the department, accompanying the department's Form GH-2.
This rule is intended to implement Iowa Code section 99D.22.
