QuestionWhat if I just want to add to the registered name . Is that still a name change?Community AnswerIf you mean adding the name of the dog's registered kennel to its name, that does count as a name change. If your registration certificate does not include your dog's name, that most likely means that it has only been registered as part of a litter (probably by its breeder) rather than individually. You will need to complete the normal registration process to get a full AKC registration certificate bearing your dog's name: http://www.akc.org/register/.

QuestionWhat if I placed my name instead of the dog's name?Belle K.Top AnswererThen on file your dog just has your name. That is it, simply change the name on the file back to the dog's as you would change it normally.

QuestionI purchased a puppy and he had a kennel name on his paper work that I didn’t include when I registered him. I would like to fix it? What should I do?Josie PattinsonCommunity AnswerYou need to send an email to the American Kennel Club (AKC), with the your dog’s registration number and mention what information is incorrect. You also need to mention your name, the dog's full name, gender of the dog, color of the dog, and the breed of the dog. You also need to give a $20 correction fee. They will send you another registration certificate with the corrected name.
