I have a minature dachshund that is full blooded but I don't have papers for the parents or him. How can I get papers?

Based on the owners of the parents, the dog is full blooded. I've heard you can get a DNA test done and get papers for him. Probably not AKC papers, but papers none the less. Any ideas?

You can't. The only way to get AKC registration is for both parents to be AKC registered and the litter your dog was from also needed to be AKC registered. The breeder then would have issued you an individual registration application which you would fill out, send in the required fee and then AKC would send you your dogs registration.
No you can't get DNA done and get papers...if you are in the US any registry other then AKC, UKC (United Kennel Club) or CKC (Canadian Kennel Club) is not a legit registry. There are many scam registries that will register anything and they are not worth the paper they are printed on.
***an ILP is not a registration it is only a number given to a spay/neutered dog of one of the AKC recognized breeds so it can compete in performance or hunt events.******

Your dog is full blooded? I should hope it's full of blood or it would be dead. I think you mean purebred.
http://akc.org has the answers to your questions.
You cannot get papers unless the "breeder" registered the litter and both parents are registered with the AKC (full registrations).
So you CANNOT get AKC papers without this.
And other papers from "fake" registries are worthless.
Neuter your pet and enjoy him After he's neutered you can get an ILP number on him from the AKC so he can compete in obedience or other events.

How do you know the dog is "full blooded" if you don't know the parents?
If you know the names of the parents, you may be able to check with the AKC to see if they are AKC registered. If the parents aren't AKC registered, you can't register the pup.

You can get a ILP slip. This will allow you have your dog to participate in everything except Conformation.
It will not allow you to register any pups if your thinking of mating your dog.
Go to the AKC site and look under this and see whats required for you to do ok!

How do you know it's purebred?
If you don't have papers for the parents, you can't get papers on the puppy!
