Can you change a dog's name in AKC after it has been permanently registered?

Also How do you go about getting a dog AKC single registered now that they have opened it up?

The only way you can change a dogs name through AKC is if the dog hasnt been bred before.

barryc,

I looked on AKC's website and I didn't see anything about open registry for beagles. Where did you see that?

So you can change there name if they have not been bred??


Hallmountain, They opened up to single registering dogs last year if you can prove like three generations of AKC hounds behind the dog you are wanting to register.

or placed in a AKC feild trial

This application must be completed to effect a change to an AKC-registered dog’s name. The name of an AKC-registered dog may be changed provided the dog was whelped in the United States. Further, in cases where the litter owner(s) first individually registered the dog, the litter owner(s)’ written consent shall be required. A dog name containing a Registered Kennel Name cannot be changed without the written consent of the owner(s) of that Registered Kennel Name. However, no change in name will be recorded by the American Kennel Club after the dog has produced or sired an AKC-registered litter or has received an award at an AKC-licensed or member event. Any name change must comply with all AKC requirements. AKC requirements, rules and regulations may be viewed on our Web site at http://www.akc.org. All owners of the dog must sign this application. Please return the Registration Certificate with this application. Once submitted, this application becomes the property of the American Kennel Club.
