Things to remember:

We need signatures for all bitch owners

Include *all* individuals as leasees (even owners) if you wish for them to be on record as breeders and/or litter owners. The dates on the lease will determine whether an individual is a breeder, litter owner, or both.

– to be listed as a breeder the lease dates must start before the breeding dates. Use dates at least one week prior to the actual breeding dates to be safe.

– to be listed as a litter owner the lease dates must end after the whelping date.

–  be listed as ONLY a breeder and not required to sign the individual registration applications for placement of the puppies, the start date must be prior to breeding date and the end date must be prior to whelping/due date.

– be liberal with your start and end dates. The lease only affects the litter, not ownership of the bitch. Our system calculates 63 days from whelping. Give at least a week of cushion prior to the actual breeding dates. Bitches do not always follow the whelping calendar.

– use an additional signature form for more than two leasees and/or owners. Both the owner and the leasee boxes can be checked if the individual is both.

To register a leased litter, the application must be sent in to AKC for processing. These are currently not able to be processed online.

The Breeder of Merit credit is refreshed into your MyAKC account on the 15th of each month. You have up to $30 per month to use for downloadable reports from the AKC store. That includes reports like research pedigrees, awards reports, top dog reports and progeny reports. The credit is not valid for use to register litters or dogs or ordering any item that needs to be shipped to you. The credit is not cumulative, so unused credit is forfeited.

When you add a report to your cart and go to check out the credit will be displayed and the price will be deducted from the credit first. If there is a balance after the credit is exhausted you will be asked for a credit card for the remainder.  As you check out, the only times the credit will be displayed is when you first add a report, and then at the final submit. Please ignore the message regarding your items being sent to you. This applies only to items that are printed or shipped from our stock.

IMPORTANT: When you are finished checking out stay on that page and look at the links in the title bar above the Store window. You should see a link that says “View My Reports”. Select that link and your report will be on the resulting page and available there for 5 days.

If the sire owner has not received the notification email to approve an online litter, the link below can be used. The link in the notification email is NOT specific to a litter and cannot be retriggered manually. The link in the notification email is the same as the link below:

https://www.apps.akc.org//apps/litters/sire/index.cfm

Or,

The sire owner approval page can be reached by selecting “Register Your Dog” at the top of the page.

Then select Register a Litter from the menu.

Then select “Register A Litter”

Then select “I Only Own the Sire”

If your dog has sired a litter whelped in Canada, you and ALL co-owners of the sire will be required to sign the sire owner section of the litter application.  Email a copy of the signed litter application and certified pedigree to sireverify@akc.org. AKC will verify that the owners of the sire at the time of breeding have all signed the application. The application will be stamped by AKC and it will be sent to CKC with the pedigree.
