No they are not. A "Pedigree" is a record of the lineage behind the dog, such as parents names, AKC numbers, OFA numbers, then grandparents, then great grand parents, etc. It depends on if you get a 3 or 5 generation pedigree. A breeder normally gives you a pedigree of your pup's background upon purchase or you can order a 3 or 5 generation Pedigree on your dog from the AKC.

AKC records are the individual record of each purebred dog and has to be registered with the AKC. You can only get this if the parents were both registered with the American Kennel Club, AKC and the litter registration of their litter is registered with the AKC. The AKC will then issue out individual AKC papers for each pup in the litter. Hope that helps to explain the difference.

Can you register a three year old dog with AKC?

If you have a copy of the dogs pedigree you can.ANOTHER VIEWA pedigree (family tree) alone is not going to enable you to register your dog with AKC. You must have a registration application that would have been given to you at the time you bought your dog/puppy. If a puppy has not been registered within one year from the date on the application, the AKC will charge a fee for late registration.


How long do you have to register your pet with AKC?

I'm not really familiar with AKC, as I live in the UK. However, registration is only normally necessary for breeders, when they are breeding pups to sell. Both parents have to be registered, for the pups to qualify for AKC registration, to prove bloodlines etc.In UK you can still have a pedigree without KC registration, but most are registered from reputable breeders.See related link for more information on American Kennel Club.


How do you find your dogs pedigree?

2nd Answer: You should get a copy of your dog's pedigree from the breeder but if you cannot then go to the AKC and request one by using your dog's AKC number. You will have to pay for it but you can request a 3 generation or 4 generation pedigree. Just go to AKC's website. I hope your dog is AKC registered so you can get one. 1st Answer: on craigslist

How do register your ckc havanese with akc for competition can compete in obedience and agility?

Canadian Kennel Club registered dogs are eligible to compete in American Kennel Club events under their own CKC number. If you are living in the US, it is best to obtain an AKC registration number in addition to the CKC number for the dog. Contact the AKC Special Registry Services. You would need a clear copy of the CKC registration & a copy of the certified pedigree, two 3x5 color photos of the dog (front and side, standing), an AKC application completed in ink, the application fee and proof of tattoo or microchip.

Can a US citizen adopt a dog in Canada?

The dog must first be registered to the original owner (usually the breeder) with the American Kennel Club. A US-born puppy cannot be registered with the Canadian Kennel Club until it is registered with the AKC. If the pup is sold before being registered, the original owner signs the Transfer of Ownership on the registration application and the new owner gets the registration papers in their name. The dog must first be registered to the original owner (usually the breeder) with the American Kennel Club, then The dog must be registered with the American Kennel Club like any other AKC-eligible American-born pup. The breeder either registers the pups or signs the appropriate application for registration, with details of the breeding date, birth date, sire and dam's names and registration numbers. If the breeder (original owner) also signs the transfer of ownership on the registration application, the new owner will get the registration papers in their name. That is how a US born puppy gets registered with AKC, no matter where it lives. If the owner then wishes to register the dog with the Canadian Kennel Club, they will need the AKC registration papers in their name, an official 3-generation pedigree from the AKC, and an Application For Registration Of A Foreign-Born Dog from the CKC.
