What's the latest news on the name change or is it all B/S?

Breeders must approve this in writing. Can be done to hound that has not been bred and has no points toward it's championship. One time trip only.

Can you elaborate a little bit on what exactly your talking about. Are you saying AKC will let you change a dogs name?

Chris, starting June 1, AKC will grant a name change to hounds one time only. There are several stipulations to the name change. As in the above post: 1. A hound must have no AKC points.
2. They have never had a litter of pups or studed.
3. The breeder of the hound was the person who named the hound
and must give consent to change its name.
I think there are several others, but AKC will be more than welcome to answer your questions in full.

That sounds great, but I can't find where AKC mentions it anywhere on thier website. I don't doubt what you say, AKC probably hasn't updated thier site yet, but when did this come out and where did you get your information from?

I'm sure it will cost a transfere fee.But there are several stipulations to all this.You need to call AKC to get it all.But here is some of it.The dog can't
have any points in a AKC trail,never sired or whelped,still in breeders name and he must agree in writing to the change. I'd say you won't see it on AKC website that just my opion.
