AKC registration

just another truck · 07-28-2010, 07:54 AM

How long does it take for the AKC to register a dog?

Teh breeder had told us that she sent the DNA paper work as well as the registration paper work in when we got Hunter. This was 13 weeks ago, is this common, or should I be calling?

I dont think it would take 13 weeks?

When I went and got Sinister he already had his paperwork I just had to fill it out and send it in and I believe I got it the next week along with his AKC tag.

My breeder had the litter registered online so all I had to do was fill out a few fields, it was awesome. I think my pup was 13-15 weeks when I registered him.

I'd contact the breeder to check up and see if all the other puppy owners received their information. You can also contact the AKC directly.

Just got off the phone with AKC customer service.. they have nothing on my pup right now. They do have my breeders name with other dogs. So, who knows. I have left a message with the breeder.

Thanks All!!!But who knows, I may have been scammed.. well not really, he is a VERY GOOD PUP!! He may just have been miss represented..

I bought a puppy about a month ago. The mother had been imported so foreign registration papers had to be transferred, then the AKC registration applied for, then the DNA testing, then the puppy registration.
So the process could take a few months under the best circumstances.

Took me about 5-10 min. to register mine online, since the breeder had registered the litter. Very simple in my case.

This was my exact experience as well.

Same here, the breeder had the paperwork ready and sent it home with me. Did you pay her for the registration fee? I just did mine online.

Did mine online also. I would call the breeder everyday untill I got the answer I was looking for.
