In dogs what is the difference between registering them with the AKC as opposed to the ACA?
AKC is a legit registry. They require proper paperwork to register a dog thru them. ACA will register anything as anything.
Can puppies from an AKC sire and an ACA dam be registered with AKC?
No the AKC will not recognize the puppies as AKC. Both parents have to be AKC. Ive been breeding and showing in the AKC over 30 years. They will however let you put them under a restrained condition. Best bet is to call the AKC and ask them what they can do. Just a FYI- The ACA (american canine association) does not require DNA testing and inspecting of breeders which is why many puppy mills use this registry so be careful that your ACA dog is in fact Pure Breed with a DNA test.

Absolutely not. If you even attempted that, you could end up with an AKCA dog which will have all sorts of deformities. I would not recommend trying that at home without adult supervision.
What is the difference between akc and nkc.Is akc better than nkc. Does it really matter?
Dont know if it really matters per say as far as the registration goes, but my dog had puppies and when I tried selling them alot of the store looked down on my pups when I told them they were NKC. Some stores told me they only buy AKC for some strange reason.

Are pedigree and akc registration the same thing?
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.
