The prefix is always the kennel name of the Breeder . If a registered bitch has been sold, and the registration not transferred, the breeder will be considered the person to whom the bitch was registered at the time of the breeding.
British prefixes are acceptable for imported terriers.
A suffix, even though registered, is not included in the permanent registered or recorded name of a terrier. The suffix indicates current ownership of terrier, and as such, changes with ownership. A terrier's name, including prefix, is permanent once registered or recorded. A co-ownership agreement should be signed, dated, and submitted for placement in the bitch's registration file. If there is no such agreement on file, the offspring of said bitch will carry NO prefix.
