STATEMENT FROM THE AMERICAN KENNEL CLUB
AKC Registration, Transfer, and Co-Ownership Restructured Fees
The AKC Board of Directors voted unanimously at its October 2011 meeting to
restructure the individual dog registration and co-ownership fees. This new fee
structure will allow AKC to continue its good works for all dogs, including
canine health research donations, search-and-rescue dog grants, lost dog
recovery, kennel inspections, monitoring canine legislation, and promoting
responsible dog ownership among other programs. AKC can also continue to
provide the same level of quality vital services to clubs, exhibitors and
breeders. This is the first registration fee increase since 2007 despite the
continuing economic challenges facing the country and as a result the sport of
purebred dogs.
As of January 1, 2012, the first-time individual dog registration fee and each
basic transfer of ownership fee will increase to $30 per dog. This new fee
structure also includes modifications to co-ownership. With the first-time
individual dog registration as well as any subsequent transfer of dog
ownership, one (1) primary owner will be listed with the $30 registration or
transfer fee. In addition, a $10 fee will be added for each additional owner
listed on the registration certificate.* The primary owner will receive the
official AKC Registration Certificate and each additional owner will receive an
e-mail only copy of the registration certificate. The e-mail copy will be
clearly marked COPY, will not display the certificate issue date, and will not
have the transfer form on the back.
Owners of AKC Registered Dogs will still receive the same benefits as before
including:
· AKC Registration Certificate
· Complimentary Trial Pet Health Care Insurance
· Eligibility to Participate in AKC Events
· New Puppy Handbook and Optional discounted Registration Packages
As the nation's only not-for-profit registry, we look forward to the continued
support of dog owners through registration with the American Kennel Club.
Together we will overcome the current challenges of the economy and continue
our good works on behalf of all dogs.
*Co-owners of dams registering litter members to the litter owners will be
exempt from this additional fee.
