Kromfohrlanders in North America
Since 1997, a few unrecorded Kromfohrlanders have been imported into the USA and one in Canada but the breed did not start the procedure of breed recognition (through the American Kennel Club/AKC) until 2012 when the first foundation Kromfohrlanders were imported to America.
and subsequently recorded with AKC's Foundation Stock Service.
The rust-colored states show where Foundation Stock-recorded Kromfohrlanders live or have lived. The blue states are where Kromfohrlanders live or have lived but were never recorded. We have worked diligently to find and record all Kromis that have come to the USA with AKC's FSS.
Thank you to all the European breeders and fanciers for their impeccable record-keeping and for helping us locate every Kromfohrlander that has ever come to the USA since 1997. Every dog counts (see 'Ask Mr. Felix,' below) on the Kromi's path to recognition in America! AKC counted dogs are noted with a number before their name below. These dogs will be included in the official breed history for the Kromfohrlander in the USA.

Mr. Felix answers a few questions about North American Kromfohrlanders
Go ahead- ask me!
How many Kromfohrlanders are in the USA?
64 Kromfohrlanders are documented, legitimate, foundation Kromis, and are recorded with AKC Foundation Stock System.
These 64 AKC FSS recorded dogs are the ONLY Kromis that can or will be considered actually purebred Kromfohrlanders here.
There are also 9 undocumented/unrecorded Kromis and even though most of their owners have been contacted, they never submitted their dog's information. These Kromis will sadly never be included in the history of Kromfohrlanders in North America).
What is required for AKC recognition?
• At least 150 Kromis must be recorded with AKC's Foundation Stock Service.
• 100 active club members in at least 20 states.
• AKC evaluation of the breed standard, constitution/by-laws and in-person observation by AKC Field Staff

How long will it take for AKC recognition?
It is unknown at this time how long it will take until the Kromfohrlander is recognized and we are not in a hurry. The gene pool is shallow and limited. The Kromfohrlander is fortunate to be guided by an experienced and patient FSS breed founder. It takes some breeds 10, 20 or more years to get into AKC!
Why did it take so long for the Kromfohrlander to get in AKC FSS?
It can be a complicated task that almost requires either being an experienced breed fancier or having the guidance of one. The Kromi is now established with someone who has founded another breed in AKC FSS and has helped in the foundation of another breed.
The Kromi's foundation fanciers reflect decades of experience in breed rescue, exhibition, sports, breeding, health, training and behavior study in a wide variety of breeds and temperaments.
