If you live in the U.S., get her registered with AKC

Shouldn't you have thought about all this before you bought the dog?

"Shouldn't you have thought about all this before you bought the dog?"

This type of response adds nothing to this inquiry and speaks volumes of your disposition.

Alaman, you should contact the AKC and let them know the nation of origin and type of registration that came with your dog. Speaking with the AKC will eliminate all of your guess work.
Good Luck,
Kyle

Wow, Central America??????? HA HA bummer dude. Next time think Europe,or USA.

Kyle.. seriously? Registration is something you should look into before you buy if you unfamiliar with the process. It most certainly is NOT something you start looking into after.
I will give Melsar props for coming on here and asking for help when they need it. But, it still doesn't take away from the fact that this was a big lack of foresight on their part and it was something they should have addressed before they got the dog.

Based on my experience with registering imported dogs you will first need to have her registered in your name in her country of origin. You will then need to submit that registration and export pedigree to AKC along with the proper form and $$. Once they register her - and it can take a while - you will beed to submit DNA. Honestly you should have made all the srrangements for her to be registered in your name in her country of origin when you bought her - doing it now may not be so easy unless the person you purchased her from is willing to do it for you.

Melsar,
Importation can be a difficult and confusing process. It is good that you came and asked questions. those who export the dogs from other countries are not always well informed either.
Judyp above is correct. That is the way it works and it does take awhile.

Many of us have to learn the hard way. If the exporter really wants to export the dog, they can make the export pedigree happen and arrive with the dog, which makes the task much easier on this end.
