A valuable resource available to AKC breeders is Prepaid Registration. Prepay makes it easy to ensure 100% registration of the puppies in your litter, helps you maintain control over the integrity of your breeding program and offers the puppy registrations at a discounted rate.
You have the option to select Prepay Puppy Registrations during the Online Litter process or directly in Breeder Toolkit once your litter has been registered.
Here’s a breakdown of some of the prepaid benefits.
Cost Savings:
- Discounted Registration Fees: Breeders can prepay for puppies in a litter at a discounted rate.
- No Co-owner Fees: Prepaid registration eliminates co-owner fees.
- Optional Packages: Breeders and puppy buyers can purchase additional items or packages, such as pedigrees and AKC Reunite at discounted prices though the prepay process.
Efficiency and Control:
- Breeder of Merit: Ensuring 100% registration of puppies ensures you meet your Breeder of Merit requirements.
- Simplified Registration: Prepaid registration streamlines the process of registering puppies.
- Control over Registration Status: Breeders can choose limited or full registration status, and select colors, markings, and names for their puppies.
- Lock-in dog names: Breeders can lock in their Registered Kennel Name (RKN), set a prefix, suffix and control whether these can be edited. You can name the puppy, or let the new owner choose a name but keep your kennel name.
Additional Benefits:
- Flexibility: Breeders can register puppies to litter owners, new owners, or both.
- Discounts: You will receive a $10 discount coupon toward your next litter registration when 100% of puppies in a litter are registered.
