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. If you or someone you know, has any knowledge of these 'NOT FOUNDATION STOCK RECORDED' kromfohrlanders, please contact us at: kromiclub@gmail.com.
The rust-colored states show where Foundation Stock-recorded Kromfohrlanders live or have lived.
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?
98 Kromfohrlanders are documented, legitimate, foundation Kromis, and are recorded with AKC Foundation Stock System.
These 98 AKC FSS recorded dogs are the ONLY Kromis that will be officially recorded in documented breed history with AKC.
There are also 9 undocumented/unrecorded Kromis and even though most of their owners have been contacted, they never submitted their dog's information. If you owned one of these dogs, please contact us. Everybody counts!
Eligibility to request Miscellaneous Class Status requires:

Eligibility to request Miscellaneous Class Status requires:
- Parent Club designated to represent the breed
- A breed entering the FSS® based upon being an established breed in a foreign registry must have reached full recognition status
- The Club has balloted the membership to seek AKC recognition
- Breed Standard reviewed to meet AKC Breed Standard Guidelines
- Minimum of 150 dogs enrolled with three-generation pedigrees
- Formal presentation for AKC club status is sent to Club Relations for review and bylaw commentary to follow, if necessary.
- Request to move into Miscellaneous submitted to AKC Board – date of entry January 1, or on or about July 1.

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.
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.
Twenty five hundred is typical for first time owners.
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.
