Well, OK...we know you are now allowed to change the name of a registered 
dog.  Most people I know thought the breeder's permission was required.  No 
longer is this the case.

Also, you as the owner don't have to inquire about it...the AKC is now 
SOLICITING name changes on newly registered dogs (thru transfers, at 
least)...for a fee, of course!   They are so desperate for money they're 
apparently throwing breeders and kennel names to the wind.....

See below a letter from the AKC to a friend who's
recently registered a new puppy.  The letter is self explanatory.
