The rules for registration of Working Kelpie pups in the Swedish Kennel Club Appendix register (AS-register) are as follows:

• be registered in the SKK AS-register
• be registered with the Working Kelpie Council of Australia Inc. (WKC)
• be registered as Australian Kelpies in the register of SKK or some other official Kennel Club, but transferred or transferrable to the AS-register (for this they have to prove their Working Kelpie ancestry) and that the sire and dam have had their hips X-rayed to show the HD status

Working Kelpies cannot be shown at conformation shows, but they have access to all other kinds of official trials and tests.
