Registering a dog is one of the smartest steps you can take as a responsible owner or breeder. Official registration papers provide clear proof of ownership, verify your dog’s traits, and open doors for housing approvals, travel, boarding, veterinary records, and future breeding plans.

Designer Kennel Club (DKC) makes registering a dog simple, fast, and accessible for all types of dogs including purebreds, mixes, rescues, imported dogs, and designer breeds. DKC offers three main ways to register a dog depending on your situation.Foundation Dog Registration at sixty five dollars is the best choice for single dogs of any age or background.
