Can You Register A Neutered Male Boxer With CKC? He is intact now - but I am thinking about getting him neutered. Should I wait until he is registered with CKC or does it matter.. What if I neuter him AFTER he is registered. Will that disqualify him?

Ok ! Great Info from all... Heres my NEXT question... WHY is CKC (Continental Kennel Club) Not reputable? I am new to all this. I wish I could have had both of my boxers registered with AKC But can not find the parents... Any other suggestions for clubs I could register with...

You can register him either way. I don't use CKC very often, but I have seen that they have some really neat registration certificates with pictures available now.

CKC if you are speaking of Continental Kennel Club, is not a reputable registration service. They will register anything and their registration is not worth the paper it is printed on. If you want to register your dog with them, you most certainly can and it doesn't matter if the dog is intact or neutered. Go ahead and neuter your dog. Thank you for being a responsible pet owner!

Ok registry 101-
The POINT of the reputable livestock and dog registries is to provide a record of the parentage of the animal (in this case dog) This allows tracing of good qualities (your gonna have much more luck geting a son of two field champian bird dogs to point birds than a random dog off the streets), genetic problems (for example my breed has a ressesive that comes only in certain lines) and so forth. ALL reputabe registries are going to need the parents recorded to register the dog because that is their function...
Now the function of contenential kennel club and other similar "registries" is to print up a pretty certificate to show off that the dog is registered. Many such registries will register a concrete statue of a dog much less a neutered one. IF you want a "we don't need parents" registry that has value try NDR (national dog registry) which functions as a record to help insure the dog return if he's lost.
EDIT: Hand slap to head - I totaly forgot till reminded in agility class tonight. What your dog IS eligable for AFTER he's neutered is AKC ILP apendix, which is only open to spay/neutered animals. This is like the sport horse registries in some horse registries- if you so choose it will allow him to participate in some AKC events so definatly a AKC paper. Its made for clearly purebred dogs of unknown parentage... You'll need pictures and proof of neutering - check out AKC.org for details

I'm not sure. I will have to call and ask my mother later on.
If he's only your pet, not for showing or anything, then you can CKC register him, THEN get him neutered... there is nothing to disqualify him from if he's only gonna be your pet.

CKC as in Continental or Canadian. Do NOT register with Continental. Fixing your dog will not affect the registration. Only if you plan to show this dog would fixing make him ineligible. Kudos to you for deciding to fix your dog!

If you're talking about Continental Kennel Club, save your money. That's a registry that serves mainly the big puppymills, so stores can sell a puppy with "papers" at an elevated price to the unknowing or unwary.

As far as I know they can be registered - if of course they qualify - but cannot be in the show ring.
