FAQ's
- How do I register my dog?
To register your dog, copy and complete the registration template found here, and then post it in a new thread in the 'Registration Desk' board. - Does my dog have to be registered to race?
Yes, your dog is required to be registered with the DRC before they are allowed to enter or run in any race on this forum or any race held by the DRC. - What names am I allowed to give my dog for his registered name?
You may call your dog whatever you wish for it's registered name, as long as it is not slanderous, racist, sexist, pornographic or otherwise unsuitable for use on this forum. You are required to have a prefix or a suffix as part of your dog's registered name, which is an abbreviated signature that shows who the dog belongs to.
For example, for Mikoli Kennels, a prefix could be:
Mikoli's Icy Winter
MK's Icy Winter
Mik's Icy Winter
And an example of a suffix would be:
Icy Winter at Mikoli
Icy Winter at MK
Icy Winter at Mik - I've adopted my dog out to someone else, how do I change the owner on the registration page?
To change the owner, either PM a moderator or administrator with the link to your dog's registration thread, and the name of the new owner, or you can edit your dog's page yourself. - How do I know when my dog has become registered?
Every couple of days a staff member will sort through all of the registration applications, and will post a reply to each thread that has been accepted stating that the dog is now registered, and you will be given it's registration number. The thread will then be moved to the database of registered dogs. - My registration thread has been declined! Why?
If your dog is not accepted to be registered with the DRC, a staff member will post a reply stating the reason, and it will be moved to the declined registrations board. The most likely reason your dog has not been accepted is because it is not of an acceptable breed, is unrealistically hexed, has an unacceptable or already taken registration name, or that you have not been allowed any more registered dogs for bad behavior.
If you are rejected, the staff member may ask you to change something about your post so that your dog is acceptable. If this is the case, copy all of your information, and start a new thread in the board, with the edited information. - Can I register cats, fantasy-like dogs, wildz, or unrealistically hexed dogs?
No. All dogs eligible to be registered with the DRC must be realistic-looking, and a realistic, average size. No wolves, tigers, horses, pigs, elephants etc. are eligible because they do not look like a normal dog. Hexed dogs are acceptable, provided that they do not have wings/fangs/strange body parts, and are a colour that you would expect to find in a dog, e.g. not pink, green, purple etc. - Why do I have to provide a picture of my dog?
You are required to provide a picture of your dog so that the staff members can check that this dog looks realistic. The picture must be a clear shot of the dog, preferably a profile shot, which shows all of the dog's body. It does not have to be posing or running, but it does help.
