HOW TO: AKC REGISTRATION - Page 1

Ok, I have an import gsd male from Hungary..All that I have for him is his pedigree which includes a signature on the back (I guess from previous owner)  The back has several things on it including his hip stamp..The pedigree also includes a sticker for his microchip.........My question is:  What all will I have to do to get him AKC registered?  Will I have to have more then this pedigree or is that all i have from hungary?  I've read the akc forms and even talked to them but am stil unclear...can someone please help....Should I have more then just this pedigree...does hungary have an actual registration paper that i dont have

This is copied from my website where I give the directions to register a dog from Hungary with an MEOE/MNJK registration.  It has been a bit over a year since I registered the Hungarian dog.

Registering a dog from Hungary may seem scary, but it is not really that much more
difficult than registering a dog from Germany.  You follow much the same routine as
registering a dog from Germany, and expect it to take much longer.   
CAUTION!  
1.  Be sure the back of the registration has been signed by the previous owner!  
2.  The AKC does NOT register dogs from the MNJK without the affiliation of the
MEOE or FCI, according to what persons more experienced than I have told me.  
Check  the first page of the MNJK registration, it should have MEOE and/or FCI on
the paperwork.  This is a registration that can be transferred into the AKC with no
problems.

This is what you need, and need to do, to register your MNJK Imported German Shepherd dog:
A)  Send a letter to-- Attention: Judit Vall, with all of your *personal information, *the name and registration number of the dog, and *the ORIGIONAL MNJK registration to:
MNJK
Budapest
Pilisi UTCA 52
H-1106
Hungary

(phone numbers, email, website):  
+361/261-5460    
mnjk@nemetjuhasz.hu  /     mnjk@ax.hu
www.germanshepherd.hu

They will stamp the registration papers "EXPORT PEDIGREE" and return it AND a
beischenigung to you. 

B)  Email the MNJK for the bank information you will need to WIRE the transfer fees to
the MNJK bank.  It currently costs $90 USDThey will hold the paperwork until they receive
the bank wiretransfer.  They do NOT accept credit cards or any other form of payment:
mnjk@ax.hu
CURRENTLY (subject to change, or course, so you should still check via email) This is the
information you need for a foreign wire transfer to the MNJK account in Hungary:
Bank account:  OTP BANK  11710002-20008316  Swift Code:  VHUHB

C) Once you get the Export Pedigree and the Beschenigung returned to you from the  
MNJK, now you send to the AKC:
1.  The AKC foreign dog registration application completed.
2.  The Beschenigung.  
3.  The Export Pedigree.
4.   Pictures of the dog standing: right side, left side, and full frontal view.
5.  And of course, payment to the AKC. :-)

I am not sure why the font is so big.  Oh well...you won't need glasses to read it, LOL.
