Here's a VERBATIM copy of a letter I received from the American Kennel Club September 2008. You be the judge of who the AKC is trying to help. My concern is, if a pup/dog is stolen or the breeder has been ripped off and thus the people don't have the rightful registration papers, how is the AKC gonna know prior to issuing these papers to someone that the dog in fact belongs to someone else and shouldn't be with the person who has it? There's no notification that will go to the female owners mentioned prior to granting this such registration, so breeders won't know it if a registration application for one of their females has had a puppy or dog registered under this program. You decide your personal feelings.
Copy/Paste Didn't work right!

Oops-2nd attempt also goofed up-I'll try 3rd time and write it out myself.

Hm. Why is that not coming out right?!?! I was copy and pasting it from a word document where I originally copied it.
Here's what the informative part says:
AKC's newest registration service, Administrative Research Registration, is designed to serve breeders who want to restore their breeding stock's AKC registration eligibility. Dogs showing no breaks in AKC lineage may be eligible for AKC registration.
In order to determine your dog's AKC registration eligibility, staff will request a copy of parnetage documentation, such as a registration certificate or pedigree from another registry or bill of sale. Should the dog be deemed registrable and is approved, the AKC staff will register the dog following the current registration fee schedule and an additional $10 registration research fee. ALL LATE FEES WILL BE WAIVED.
Then it give 5 Steps to take in order to do this process.
This is supposed to be done in helping breeders, but I guess I don't see it. Not for quality breeders at least.

Since registration is down 50%, they are attempting to make money any way they can, whether it is ethical or not. Unethical money grubbers. Veronica

AKC, IMHO, is a purely political organization devoted to making money. Period, end. Personally, I wouldnt expect anything from them, so I wouldnt be disappointed. LOL!

Step 1: Fax a copy of the dog's pedigree with customer information(name, phone number and email address) to 919-816-3770.
Step 2: AKC stadd will review the pedigree and follow up with you regarding your dog's registration elgibility.
Step 3: If eligible for AKC registration, AKC staff will fax a copy of the Administrative Research Registration Application.
Step 4: Fax the completed application to (919) 816-3770.
Step 5: AKC registration completes registration.
There's the 5 steps for anyone wanting to know-also verbatim right from the letter.
Why is the AKC's registration numbers down by 50%? I would think with all the puppy mills, registration $ would be booming as much as ever in the dog business world. After all, the AKC did the Name Change thing and caused breeders to have to now name their puppies before allowing them to go to new owners to make sure their names aren't changed without the breeder even knowing about it. How could our documentation & breeder records that the AKC requires us to keep be accurate if owners were changing the names of their dog(s) without us even knowing it? And if a pup was tattooed, the name and the number would no longer match...This stuff is said to help breeders. I think in reality this name-changing aspect of things makes a potential clerical nightmare for breeders trying to do things right.
And, it pays to be AWARE of what's out there and what people/clients are now able to do. Being aware may save you from being taken advantage of, which is why I posted the info.

BREEDERS,
there is a way to avoid some of this BS. when you have a litter, registor the whole litter in your name. this way you can be sure of a couple things. one the dog will carry your kennel name because you name all of the pups. two, you can transfer the papers with limited reg. and they have to have your signature to change it. once the dog is already reg. with akc, there is no need to dispute the registration of the dog. it may cost you more in the start, but if your best interest is the dog, then it will be worth the cost.
this is how all of my litters will be reg. from here on out. when someone has gained my approval to have one of my pups, they will have to pay the cost of pup and transfer fee. not registration fee's. the dog will already be registored with the akc. this also gives me more of a legal leg to stand on, as the dog has been registored once, there is no need to do it again.
pardon the typos, long day training and i have had a couple since.

John,
I agree and i do register them in my name first. However, what worries me is AKC will permit the new owner to change the name of the dog provided the dog has not been titled or bred. I did read where if the breeder has a contract that states the name must be X, then AKC will uphold the contract and deny the name change. Can anyone confirm this??
With all these changes I have chaned my contract quite abit.
Tina
