Registering Litters Born Outside of Japan

I get this question a lot: Can a litter born outside Japan be registered with X club in Japan?
Here are the easy answers.

1. Japan Kennel Club: NO
2. Hokkaido Ken Hozonkai: NO
3. Kai Ken Aigokai: YES
4. NIPPO: YES
5. AKIHO: YES

One other thing to be aware of is that even if you have a NIPPO or AKIHO pedigree for a dog born outside of Japan, you cannot transfer that to a JKC export pedigree unless the dog was born in Japan.
