As an owner of a purebred canine, it is proper to have him registered with the American Kennel Club. This is an organization that keeps track of all purebred canines in the US. One of the benefits of membership with the organization is that your dog can join club-sponsored dog shows.
But before you register your pet dog, you might want to know more about the activities of AKC. You can contact the group to ask, especially about the requirements for registering your canine.
Here are the steps to register your dog:
- Go to the AKC website to register
- Get the paperwork from the breeder so you can provide the necessary application
- Pay the corresponding fees
- Request a copy of the medical record from your hospital so you can present this to the association when asked. You should expect to receive a reply from AKC after a few weeks.
Make sure that your pet’s health records, including preventatives and vaccinations, are up-to-date. Check with your veterinarian Bend, OR.
