Any verifiable PUREBRED dog may be primary registered or dual registered with American Canine Registry that has a verifiable 3-generation pedigree. 

(Dog, sire & dam, grand-sire & grand-dam minimum)

Primary Registration involves submitting a litter application paper from another registry to American Canine Registry so that a REGISTRATION CERTIFICATE may be issued from ‘ACR’. 

• A minimum of 3-generation pedigree must accompany the dog.   There is a *fee of $15.00 for Primary Registration.  (*Fee waived for 2006 with submitted pedigree)
• If a 3-generation pedigree is not submitted with the dog then there is an additional fee of $15.00 in order to get a pedigree to be used to register the dog.  This avenue is available only to AKC and APRI linage dogs.  Total fee is $30.00 to register an AKC or APRI dog without submitting the pedigree to ACR. (*During the 2006 Breeder Appreciation the fee is only $15.00 when registering a dog without a submitted pedigree.)

Dual Registration involves submitting a REGISTRATION CERTIFICATE for an individual dog that is already registered with another registry.  The requests for FREE dual registration must be accompanied with a minimum of 3-generation pedigree verifying the linage of the dog. 

•  If the dog is already in the persons name that submits the application for registration simply send the completed form along with 3-generation pedigree to "ACR".  Registration is FREE!   
•  If the dog is being put into a name other than on the submitted certificate then a transfer certificate is also required and the fee is $15.00. 
• If the dog is AKC or APRI registered and you do not have a 3 generation pedigree then there is a $15.00 fee in order to generate a pedigree for the dog so that we may issue a ACR certificate for the dog.  This avenue is available ONLY to AKC or APRI dogs.  (If the dog is registered with another registry like UKCI or ACA we will be glad to research the pedigree and try to come up with one for registration but we can not guarantee success and fees are non-refundable.)

• ***A dog may be dual registered for FREE at the time of applying for litter papers for a litter.  A copy of parents papers from another accepted registry should be enclosed with the litter paper application including transfers if required, 3-generation pedigree and the correct fees.

FULL Registration involves the submitting of an American Canine Registry REGISTRATION CERTIFICATE or an American Canine Registry LITTER PAPER requesting a dog to be registered in an individual’s name.  Such request must be accompanied with proper paperwork and fees. 

There is a fee of $15.00 for Full Registration Certificates.
