does anybody know??????

is there anyway to akc register a puppy that the sir is registered but the dam isnt, the puppy is full blooded tho.

D1, I don't believe there is a way to do that. You should look on the AKC website, akc.org. You should be able to find an answer there.

I think your signature speaks for itself.

I am not an expert by any means, but I think you will find it hard to register that pup, as well it should be. The registration is to document that BOTH parents are certifiably "full blooded". I don't think going on somebody's word alone will be proof enough.

That said, a piece of paper is just that, a piece of paper. It may help when trying to sell the pups from a litter, but really has less effect on what kind of dog you have than how you train it. I have seen excellent "meat dogs" that were obviously not "full-blooded". One of the best duck dogs I have ever seen was a BUTT UGLY lab mix with buck teeth. He didn't have papers either, but was a fine dog, just wasn't very easy on the eyes.

If you are happy with the pup, don't worry about being "registered". Paper doesn't make the dog, training does.

The only way is to go back to the female litter and see if both the dame and the sire were registered...but the litter was not....depending on how long ago it was...akc will let u go back if both were registered...have some extra paperwork...and extra money


good luck...but that is the ONLY way....

take care

You can register the dog with AKC by doing an IPL dog, but the dogs has to be nutered or spayed. It will help that one side is registered. You can call the AKC at 919-816-3600 and ask around. They will be more than happy to help you.
