Changing AKC Registere Name - Page 2

Just wow lol sorry

Mystere, I assume your dog has not had any pups? Isn't that the only diehard reason they won't allow a name change?

How do they handle any health tests that were done under first name and what about if the dog was shown sv not AKC?

Those and a few other things are why a small group of us have been writing to different organizations to make this better known.

There are some other threads started on this subject..let me see if I can find them.

Apparently, AKC has solicited, (in the past, anyways,) newly registered IMPORTED dogs' owners to "change the name" on their imports... which were already titled, etc....

From last fall:

The bitch is spayed. Never trialed or titled, yet. So, new scorebook is in the works. Also, the dual USCA /SV registration must be changed. Don't think that part will be as easy. The litter was registered with pink papers and the new registration will be individual registration.

Changing an imported and titled dog would be foolish. The scorebook would NOT be changed. So, goodbye proof of titles. The Germans are too concerned with fraud to ever transfer the contents of a scorebook. You would end up with an UNtitled import.

Why would you want to change a pink papered dog's name? Doesn't that action negate the integrity of the breed survey system in that the breeder has the right (and obligation) by way of compliance with the system to put their name on the dog that they bred? Forgive my assumption if there are   circumstances requiring correction (fraud), but ????

Also, I am puzzled as to why anyone with an alternate registry option would see fit to support the AKC with registration.

Stephanie,

 The AKC registration is required for the USCA/SV dual registration.   The SV mandated that several years ago.  The USCA/SV registration  is a supplemental registration; it is not meant to be a substitute for the AKC registration, as FCI only recognizes one registry per country and in the US that recognized registry is the AKC. 

The breeder has NO right or obligation to put their name on anything by dint of a breed survey.  The survey is supposed to reflect the breed worthiness of the dog--nothing more.  


I want the pink papers changed to reflect the same name as the AKC registration and the scorebook.   Why wouldn't I want all the paperwork to reflect the same name?    Frankly, I am not convinced that the SV is going to allow any such change, but because the AKC did, and the SV requires the AKC registration, it may.   We will just have to see. 

By the way--there are individual USCA/SV registrations all the time.  The pink papers come back on such registrations reflecting the dog as an "only" with no litter mates.  There is no reference to the littermates by name, as there is when the entire litter is registered. Otherwise, the papers are the same.   It will be the same with the name-change.  The SV requires the return of the orginal pink papers, though.
