When you are trying to enter an event or pay for an entry, you are getting an error that you need to convert your dog to a registry dog, and the warning will have some brief instructions on what to do.
Some clubs select to have a filter on the event so that only 'Registry Dogs' can enter. This is done to ensure that the details of the dog have come from the Dogs Australia database and are correct.
The main reasons a club may want to do this are to ensure that if they input a postal entry, the certificate for the dog is still put into your account. It can make it easier for the club to move and change entries. If the club wants to have a Three Generation Catalogue, this will also ensure that the dogs have all the generations input into our system.
