Breeding

Denmark

Issuing club: Dansk Kennel Klub (DKK)

Normal testicles of the sire Required · Both parents
Must be properly documented that the sire of a litter has normal testicles in the normal position.

Veterinary certificate, or a prize at an FCI/DKK recognised show or exterior assessment.

Your choice — DKK accepts either a veterinary certificate or an award at any FCI or DKK recognised show or conformation assessment. No vet, panel or judge is named — the choice is open by design.
Show result before mating (for a Basis Plus pedigree) Recommended · Both parents
Both parents awarded at least Very Good at an FCI/DKK recognised show before mating, or exterior-approved. In force since 01.01.2013.

FCI/DKK recognised show or exterior event

Your choice — Any FCI or DKK recognised show giving at least Very Good, or an exterior-approval event. No named list of judges or shows.

Breeding conditions

DKK's ethical rules for breeding physically and mentally sound dogs must be complied with.
Recommendations are not enforced but rewarded: meeting the requirements gives a Basis pedigree, also meeting the recommendations gives Basis Plus.

Dogs registered elsewhere

Both partners must meet the breed requirements at the time of mating for the offspring to be registered, and this applies equally when one partner is from abroad. Denmark does not waive its requirements for a foreign stud - the opposite of the Dutch approach.

The only mandatory item is not a health test. No health screening is required of the Cairn Terrier here.

Where to look a dog up

The surrounding portal — courses, activities, the show calendar, booking a health examination — is open to anyone, but DKK states plainly on its own page that the dog database itself is for members. Members then see every DKK-registered dog, pedigrees, results, health data and litters. No inbreeding calculator was visible from outside.

Requirements are shown in the language they were published in. Translating a regulation risks changing it. This reports what clubs published, with the date each source was read. It is not approval to breed — confirm with the club before you rely on it. (Checked: 8 August 2026)
