How do you register an American field registered dog with the American kennel club?
Asked by Wiki User
Can puppies from an AKC sire and an ACA dam be registered with AKC?
Asked by Wiki User
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.

NKC English Bulldog you bought from a breeder that reg her bullies with akc nkc Can you reg your bullie with akc?
Asked by Wiki User
In order to register a dog with the AKC you must first have papers from the breeder showing the litter was registered with the AKC. The breeder obtains these papers by submitting a report of puppies born of two AKC registered parents. If either parent is not AKC registered, then the puppies cannot be AKC registered in the normal way.
However, any purebred dog of a breed recognized by the AKC can be registered on an indefinite listing privilege if the animal is first spayed or neutered and an application with fees and required photographs is submitted to the AKC. Such animals cannot (obviously) be used for breeding nor shown in conformation, but they can compete in trials like obedience, herding, gun dog, tracking, and agility.

What is the difference between AKC and NKC?
Asked by Wiki User
The AKC does NOT register American Bulldogs. The American Bulldog is not a mixed breed and can be registered with both the NKC (national kennel club) and UKC (United Kennel Club).
It is not recognized by the AKC for several reasons including the fact that the breed's original Breed club the ABA (American Bulldog Association) as well as many other AB fanciers are firmly against AKC recognition. Many are afraid that recognition by the American Kennel Club will be detrimental to the breeds working heritage; one look at AKC German Shepherd Dogs will give you the reason behind this fear.
There are two varieties of the American Bulldog: the standard and the bully. The NKC, which is the third oldest All Breed Registry in the United States, recognizes the two standards as two varieties of the same breed. This is similar to the AKC Beagle standard which has two varieties, the 13" and the 15", of the same breed. At NKC sanctioned conformation events the Standard dogs are shown separately from the Bullies until the Best in Show. United Kennel Club only recognizes one variety of the standard which is often referred to as the Hybrid Standard (a blend of the standard and bully).

Why is your dog sitting in a corner facing the wall?
Asked by Wiki User
Dogs can sit and stare at you for many reasons. The obvios one is that they want you attention the difficult part is figuring out why. The dog might just want affection, maybe it needs to go out and use the bathroom, the water bowl might be empty or as my dogs do a few minutes before feeding time. Or the dog is staring at you because he think he is alpha over you...you have to keep looking at them until they stop staring and look away and put their head down.

I also found that
For the 18th consecutive year, the Labrador Retriever is the most popular purebred dog in America, according to 2008 registration statistics released today by the American Kennel Club® (AKC) But, while more than twice as many Labs were registered last year than any other breed making it a likely leader for many years to come... information accessed 24 Oct 2009 "Labrador Retriever Holds Firm in Top Spot on AKC's List of Most Popular Dogs in America;..."
