The Certified Registration and Pedigree Certificate issued by the PCCI for each registered dog is considered as the proof of ownership of the dog by the person holding the certificate.  Just like ownership titles or birth certificates, this document should be kept in a secure storage area to minimize loss or damage.

In case of loss, certain steps will have to be taken to rectify the situation.  There are two conditions that may surround the loss of the certificate:  

 a.  It was lost by the registered owner, or
 b.  It was lost by the unregistered owner.
