The only thing I would add is be prepared to send them pictures of the dog from the side and from the front. Although my dog was registered with AKC I still had to present the pictures before they would register his for UKC.

A few years ago I got UKC Single Registrations on both of my AKC registered dogs. The process was simple and UKC was very quick and easy about answering the few questions that I had. I don't recall needing photos of my dogs but I did have to provide proof of AKC (or other acceptable registry) registration and a three generation pedigree. No nonUKC titles will appear anywhere on your dogs UKC pedigree.

Pictures not needed any more. Send a 3 generation pedigree from AKC with all information and money (not a lot) and it is done. They are great to deal with. You get that personal touch.

UKC just changed their Permanent Registration Form...(the one you get back-Certificate of Registration) It is very nice...on the back it has the full pedigree...Front side all the Dog's Info...I was impressed. All my Doggers are now AKC and UKC Registered... And as the previous post said...UKC is very good to work with...fast response/turn around time.

UKC REGISTRATION-NOT HAPPY!

I attempted to register my 6 month old pup with the UKC. I took the hard copy, printed application that came with my HRC registration package, filled it out completely,provided the necessary documents requested, inlcluded payment, and mailed it off. I got an unsigned letter back saying that they were unable to register my pup as a single registration because the litter was not UKC registered (it was AKC registered), but I could "try" again at 1 year of age. The dam and sire of the litter are UKC registered, but not the litter.

This is stupid and a pain in the backside. Nowhere on the application was this requirement stated, nor is it stated on the HRC website references to registering with the UKC. They got a certified copy of the AKC pedigree as requested, and of which on the app. they state is accepted documentation!

Of course there was no mention of returning my registration fee that they processed (check cleared the bank!), and if we participate in a test this fall they have no problem in taking the extra entry fee into their coffers! If anyone would like "the why" to explain this to me I'm all ears.:confused:

Have you asked your breeder why the litter wasn't UKC registered?

Nope, but I'll contact them soon. The UKC letter did say that I could get a signed letter from the breeder/litter owner giving me permission to single register. If the UKC accepts/recognizes documents from AKC (that in their own requirements required litter registration which it was), then I'm not following the logic.

The litter owner (your breeder) has up to one year to register the litter with UKC. Because they have up to one year to register, UKC will not allow you to register your dog in case the breeder decides later to register the litter. If they registered your dog and then the breeder came in and registered the litter, your dog would potentially now have two registration numbers. Does that make sense now? No need to get upset with UKC.
AKC does the same thing. Only difference was that your breeder DID register the litter with AKC before you registered your dog. Thus my question as to why the breeder did not register the litter with UKC.
You can get a letter from your breeder stating that they will NOT be registering the litter.

Strange. Our newest pup was AKC registered (entire litter was AKC registered) but once I received my AKC paperwork, I immediately registered with the UKC by sending in the UKC paperwork, a copy of the AKC registration and the appropriate fee. All of this was done well BEFORE my dog turned a year old.

Thanks for the explanation. I appreciate it, and do understand more now. However, the policies and instructions should clearly cover this on their application and it was not. Also, with today's database technology the issue of duplicates should be minimal. I'll go ahead and make the necessary effort to do ask they ask to get it done.

Interesting! Was/was not the litter also UKC registered? Thanks.

If either the sire or dame were not UKC registated when the litter was born then you don't have to wait.

wdsk, did you register your pup with the AKC before sending in your UKC registration?

My pups litter was AKC registered only. After I registered the pup with the AKC I was then able to register with the UKC by sending the UKC my dogs AKC registration number with the application. It was a pretty easy process and my dog was dual registered before turning 3 months old.

wdsk,

I just went through this as the sire and dam of my pup are both UKC registered. The breeders normally register the litter with UKC but since there was only one pup didn't this time. I got a hand written letter from the breeder and was able to fax it to UKC and my papers should be on the way any day.

UKC is just trying to keep double registration from happening (single dog and litter) so it is not that big of a deal.

In my case, the sire (whom we own) was triple registered - CKC as he was born in Canada, AKC and UKC registered. The pup's mom was only AKC registered, but I still only had to forward the AKC registration with the UKC paperwork and fee. In fact, the UKC sent the registration out but it had some wrong information on it and I had to send it back!

At any rate, my pup now has dual AKC/UKC registration, all of which was done well before his 1st birthday.
