21—62.40 (99D) Iowa-whelped dog requirements. A greyhound dog registered with the National Greyhound Association in Abilene, Kansas, may be registered as an Iowa-whelped dog if the following qualifications are met:
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.
