Registering a dog is not obligatory as dog owners have the option to register or not to register the pet. Being registered or not will not really make a difference to the quality of life a dog will have as the animal will remain as man’s most loyal friend.

Holding a kennel club registration certificate will not make the dog more affectionate and loyal as being registered or not will make no difference to the dog. However, you may decide to breed your dog someday to have little she dogs and he dogs that looked just like your beloved pet. Registering the dog to a kennel club would qualify the pet to be mated with another purebred. When a puppy is purchased the breeder should provide the new dog owner with a Dog Application Registration form as this will be needed in case the owner decides to register the dog.

Breeders of purebred dogs are required to register their dogs. People that keep dogs specifically as home companions seldom take the trouble of registering the pet. Not many owners are aware of the benefits they can get if the dog is registered. A dog owner is not unlike a proud parent that would be more than pleased at the success of the pet. A dog that garnered awards in kennel club events would make an owner extremely proud but this will only be possible if the dog is a registration certificate holder.

The American Kennel Club and the United Kennel Club are two major kennel clubs where you can register your dog. The registration process can actually be done in minutes but an owner has to submit some requirements before the dog can be registered. One of the requirement of the American Kennel Club is a verified parentage for three generations. Aside from having a registered sire and dam, the litter must be registered by the breeder as well.

A Dog Registration Application filled up with all the vital registration information must be provided by the breeder when the puppy was purchased. To register the dog an owner can accomplish an online form or complete a paper copy. An owner registering a dog has to supply information about the pet, data about the owner and the owners of the litter. The registration certificate will be sent through mail by the kennel club after the registration form is submitted and the registration fee paid.
