This is an example of what an
AKC Registration Certificate will contain.
| Name of your dog
|
This is your dog's formal name like Blue
Beezwax Champagne. It must be long enough or unusual enough so that it doesn't
already exist in the Registry. Over time, it becomes increasingly difficult to not
duplicate names, hence the long and strange concoctions. |
| Breed |
One of the breeds recognized by that
Registry (150 for the United States' American Kennel Club or AKC) |
| Color |
Basic Description like Golden |
| Sire |
The father's name, registration number, date
of the stud book he is registered in, OFA or other Registry information where appropriate. |
| Dam |
Same as above for the mother |
| Breeder |
Name of the breeder |
| Owner |
Your name and current address |
| Number |
The unique registration number assigned by
the Registry to your dog |
| Sex |
Of your dog |
| Date of birth |
Of your dog |
| Date of Certification |
The date this certificate was issued by the
Registry. |
On the back: a blank form that can be sent to
the Registry to record a future transfer of
ownership (if any) of your dog.
