Kromfohrlanders in the United States of America
Some unrecorded Kromfohrlanders have been imported into the USA (and one to Canada) since 1997.
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 the USA and recorded with AKC's Foundation Stock Service.
Some of those original dogs are not counted yet. If you or someone you know, has any knowledge of these 'uncounted' Kromfohrlanders (listed on this page), please contact us at the email shown below.
EVERY SINGLE Kromfohrlander that has come to North America is known and documented. Your lookalike mix is not a Kromi.
Thank you to all the European breeders and fanciers for their impeccable record-keeping and for helping us locate every Kromfohrlander that has 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. 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

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.
My dog looks just like a Kromfohrlander so it must be one, right?
100% absolutely not. EVERY Kromfohrlander is known in North America (see above). None have been bred irresponsibly or ended up at shelters. Piebald is a common coat pattern that protects vital organs with a 'solar panel' action. Rough coat is expressed commonly in mixed breeds for survival purposes. You have a lucky mix!
How much do Kromfohrlanders cost?
Pricing puppies is one of the most difficult tasks a breeder needs to figure out.
A price will reflect the difficulty to obtain the breed, the difficulty in breeding them, the demand for puppies, health screenings, rearing and educational development and finally, the purpose of the puppy:
1) to be mainly a treasured family member or
2) to live in a home that not only loves their dogs as family members but also shows or does dog sports and is interesting in being involved in club activities, breed progress and establishment and has a proven track record in this arena.
...Plus all the other associated costs of having a litter.
Unfortunately, we have experienced participation-sheering of pet-only puppy buyers, despite passionate explanations that at the present time, new owners absolutely need to be involved and keep in touch and at least participate on the official breed group on Facebook (Kromfohrlander North America). It is the only way for Kromi owners to keep in touch and with this few in North America we really need to.
It is disappointing that this happens in North America, where the breed is so rare and fragile.
Depending on the economy, Kromfohrlanders range from sixteen hundred to twenty five hundred US.
What else?
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.
