The department will establish and maintain a records system entitled the “Iowa Horse and Dog Breeders’ Fund.” This records system will feature a list of thoroughbred, standardbred and quarter horses who have qualified to be Iowa-foaled horses, as well as a listing of all greyhound dogs that have qualified to be Iowa-whelped dogs.
A sum equal to 12 percent of the purse won by an Iowa-foaled horse or Iowa-whelped dog shall be used to promote the horse and dog breeding industries. This percentage shall be applicable to all races that are limited to Iowa-foaled horses or Iowa-whelped dogs as well as all other races which are won by Iowa-foaled horses or Iowa-whelped dogs.
The 12 percent shall be withheld by the licensee from the breakage and shall be paid at the end of the race meeting to the state department of agriculture and land stewardship which, in turn, shall deposit the 12 percent in a special fund to be known as the “Iowa Horse and Dog Breeders’ Fund” and pay the 12 percent by December 31 of each calendar year to the breeder of the winning Iowa-foaled horse or the breeder of the Iowa-whelped dog.
A sum equal to 6 percent of the purse won by an Iowa-foaled thoroughbred horse shall be used as a supplement to promote the thoroughbred horse breeding industries for horses placing second through fourth place. This percentage shall be applicable to all thoroughbred races that are held at Prairie Meadows racetrack.
The 6 percent supplement shall be withheld by the licensee from the horse breeders’ fund for thoroughbreds and shall be paid at the end of the race meeting to the state department of agriculture and land stewardship which, in turn, shall deposit it in a special fund to be known as the “Iowa Thoroughbred Horse Breeders’ Promotion Fund.” This fund will pay 6 percent of the money earned to each horse placing second, third and fourth place by December 31 of each calendar year to the breeder of the Iowa-foaled thoroughbred horse.
	62.2(1) All foals/horses qualified through the department to be Iowa-foaled horses and dogs qualified to be Iowa-whelped will be listed by a department registration number. The Iowa-foaled horse mare breeder(s) at the time of foaling, or the owner of the standardbred and quarter horse brood mare at the time of breeding, or the owner of the dog, as a pup, at the time of whelping, shall be properly recorded with a registration number.
	62.2(2) A race track licensee shall hold at least one race on each racing day limited to Iowa-foaled horses or Iowa-whelped dogs. However, if sufficient competition cannot be had among that class of horses or dogs on any day, another race for the day may be substituted.
	62.2(3) As the department receives this money from the licensee, the department shall credit each horse or dog, by registration number, with the amount. At the end of each calendar year, the department shall pay the amount credited to winning Iowa-foaled horses or lowa-whelped dogs to the Iowa-foaled horse breeder or to the Iowa-whelped dog breeder.

The department may withhold payment of breeder’s awards to a breeder if the breeder is not in compliance with Iowa Code chapter 162, 717, or 717B or rules adopted pursuant to those chapters. If a breeder does not come into compliance, the department may deny the registration of a breeder’s litters, dogs or foals. In addition, the department may temporarily or permanently suspend previously approved registrations.
	62.4(2) Upon receipt of information from the Iowa racing and gaming commission that a person has been disqualified from licensure (suspended for 365 days or denied), the department shall deny, temporarily suspend, or permanently suspend all registrations and eligibility certificates by or on behalf of the person. The department may determine horses certified as Iowa-foaled horses or dogs certified as Iowa-whelped dogs prior to commission action are eligible to race as Iowa-foaled or Iowa-whelped; however, the disqualified person is denied receipt of moneys from the Iowa horse and dog breeders’ fund. If the Iowa racing and gaming commission subsequently grants licensing privileges to a previously disqualified person, the department shall make an independent determination as to the person’s eligiblity to have registrations and eligibility certificates by or on behalf of the person reinstated or granted.
	62.4(3) Whenever action is taken under this rule, the department shall remit the withheld breakage to the breakage pool at the track where the money was generated.

The horse or dog had previously been owned by the person subject to discipline, but the horse or dog had been, in good faith, transferred to another person prior to the imposition of discipline by the department. The department, however, may still impose the discipline if the department determines that the purpose of the transfer was to circumvent the discipline.
	b. 	The horse or dog is in the possession of or under the control of a person subject to discipline but the person has never had an ownership interest in the horse or dog.

GREYHOUND DOG DIVISION

A dog must have been whelped in Iowa and raised for the first six months of its life in Iowa by an owner who qualifies as a two-year resident of Iowa prior to whelping.
Effective December 31, 1986, all commercial enterprises that own Iowa-whelped dogs must have been formed under the laws of the state for a period of two years. Effective September 30, 1995, 100 percent of all stockholders or members of such commercial enterprises must qualify as two-year residents of Iowa, prior to the whelping. Any entity registering greyhounds must have proof available at any time during the two-year residency of the members of the entity.
Sale and lease of dams and pups, between two-year bonafide residents of Iowa, is permissible at any time.
The department may take action under rule 21—62.43(99D) if the department determines that the Iowa owner of the dam has entered into an arrangement with another person, who is not eligible to be a breeder of Iowa-whelped dogs, wherein the Iowa owner is acting as an agent or other similar capacity so that Iowa-whelped status can be achieved.
21—62.41(99D) Procedures for registration. 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.
	62.41(1) The department will send the original registration certificate (yellow copy) or the onionskin to the National Greyhound Association, along with a request to stamp the original registration as Iowa whelped. The association will send the yellow registration copy to the department stamped “Certified Iowa-whelped.” The department will make a copy of the registration for their files and return the original (yellow) copy to the owner.
	62.41(2) All greyhound litters meeting the qualifications to be Iowa-whelped, which were whelped in a qualified kennel prior to January 1, 1985, are eligible to be registered and to race as an Iowa-whelped dog. If it is determined that the breeder’s kennel is not qualified, the litter will not be registered and approved until the kennel has complied with animal welfare laws and regulations. The “Certified Iowa-whelped” designation will begin on the date of approval and shall not be retroactive.
Individual dogs whelped prior to January 1, 1985, if sold to an owner currently in compliance with animal welfare laws and regulations, may receive the “Certified Iowa-whelped” designation for owner supplements only.
