| Can you register puppies if female is AKC and male is AC? Does anyone know if you can register puppies with AC when female is AKC and male is AC? I know you can't with AKC but I don't know about AC. |

| It's American Canine Association. I guess I should have said ACA. |

| Is there a problem with doing this? Is ACA inferior to AKC? |

| You cannot register them AKC. Both sire and dam must be AKC registered in order to do that.

| AKC and ACA are two different purebred registries. Some people who are looking for simply a pet will not care about the difference, although for many AKC is considered more prestigeous. It has been around much longer, and is more particular about registration. However, for someone who wants to show their dog, AKC would be a must. While AKC will only register if both parents are AKC, ACA will accept the AKC registration of your female. You will need to provide a copy of the AKC registration to ACA to register your puppies ACA. The puppies are only eligible for ACA, not AKC. Hope this made sense, it can be confusing. Feel free to pm me. |

| The AKC has very strict standards requiring that breeders prove that their breeding dogs are purebred by requiring DNA samples. The ACA just takes your word for it and is obviously abused. The ACA is the big "pet store" store registry since so many of the dogs they register are from puppy mills. They even have a page recommending pet stores! http://www.acacanines.com/puppa.htm |

| Not entirely. AKC only requires a male to have DNA certification if he sires a certain number of litters per year...I think in excess of 2? So in cases, DNA is NOT always submitted. |

| Thank you. I knew about the stud DNA reqs, and that it was available if there is a question of parentage. But I didn't realize there was also a separate voluntary program. |

| It's required if the stud has produced 7 or more litters in his lifetime, or more than 3 litters in a calendar year. |
