AKC registration for dog?

Question

I'm interested in a dog in my area whose owner claims is AKC registered. What do I need to do to get the information in my name, if I were to buy the dog?

this dog is 1 1/2 years old. I am assuming the owner already registered it when she got her from the breeder.

as far as people promising the papers, I learned that the hard way with my rottie I got as a puppy when I was 12, who's now going on 9 yrs.

Answer 1

The owner should have the AKC registration certificate. There is a transfer of ownership section on it. Have them fill it out and sign it, then send it to the AKC with the fee.

Make sure it is the actual registration certificate, not a litter registration or registration application.

The certificate looks like this....

Good luck!

Answer 2

If you are intending to breed the dog and register the puppies with AKC you must make sure the breeder does not check the limited registration box. If you aren't going to breed the dog and are not expecting to be able to register off spring with the AKC than the benefits of AKC registration is that you can still enter into performance events with a limited registration.

Registering a Dog

A purebred dog is eligible for AKC registration if its litter has been registered. When you purchase a dog said to be AKC-registrable, you should get an individual Dog Registration Application from the seller. Once the application has been completed, you should submit it to the AKC with the proper fee. You can also register a dog online. In about three weeks, you will receive your dog's AKC Registration Certificate. When your puppy is registered, you can take advantage of the AKC Pet Healthcare Plan with an introductory 60 days pet healthcare insurance at no-cost to you.

Filling out the Application

The Dog Registration Application must be filled out jointly by the litter owner and the new owner of the dog. The application is color-coded for the convenience of both parties. The litter owner must fill out the most of the application, including the following information:
Sex of dog

Color and markings of dog

Registration Type (Full or Limited)

Transfer date

Name and address of all new owners and co-owners

Signatures of all litter owners
The new owner of the dog must fill out the following:
Name of dog

Signatures of all owners and co-owners

Payment information

Registration Options (For purchasing pedigrees and videos)
Processing fees are nonrefundable, and all fees are subject to change without notice.

Please note that each litter owner and each new owner must sign the application individually. It is crucial that all sections of the application are filled out correctly. Failure to properly complete the application will result in processing delays.

If you did not acquire the dog directly from the litter owner(s), you must include a Supplemental Transfer Statement for each intermediate transfer with the application.

When the application has been received and processed by the AKC, an AKC Registration Certificate will be mailed to the owner. The owner should examine the certificate carefully and report any errors to the AKC.

Answer 4

If you buy an AKC registered dog then the person selling the dog MUST give you the paperwork made out TO YOU and FROM THEM at the time they sell the dog. If they promise they will do it later DON'T BUY THE DOG, chances are they have none, and know you'll get attached and keep it anyway if you paid for it. Once you have no registration though the dog will NEVER be able to be registered.

Answer 5

If the dog is AKC registered the owner will give you his registration paper with the transfer info on the back made out in your name. You will then sign your part and send it along with a transfer fee in to AKC. They will issue a registration in your name.

Answer 6

On the back of the AKC certificate, there will be a section for transfer of ownership. You will need to fill out your section and the current owner will need to fill out AND SIGN her section. Have her sign a statement saying (her name here) is transfering (dog's registered name here) who is registered with the AKC to (your name here) for the sum of (whatever you are paying her). Sometimes AKC wants that, sometimes they don't seem to care. It will also keep you from getting screwed if she takes your money and the dog. This is just from personal experience. The link will give you more information.

Answer 7

The AKC papers have a form to transfer ownership of the animal and to update AKC records. Ask to see the registration papers prior to purchase.

Answer 8

i think of it fairly is unintentional, I consistently tell people who to reproduce there canine could be registered and that i'm confident a number of my solutions say AKC. ItKs because of the fact sometimes whilst answer at here I forget that that's a international internet site. for sure somebody in a differant united states makes use of a differant registry, AKC is cautioned because of the fact it what human beings are attentive to. the biggest component tho is the canine could join a respected regestry as oppossed to the continental kennel club. I apologise for any answere that made some one think of there international places club wasn't good adequate as long as that's a respected registry that shows and needs high quality canine it fairly is cool in my e book.

Answer 9

The breeder will have to register the litter. Once the litter is registered and accepted by the akc they will send paperwork to the breeder who passes it on to the pups new owners. You then send the paperwork back in for your pup.

Answer 10

If you are getting a family pet, an AKC dog is probably not the right choice.
