All dog owners are now able to register their dogs online with the Kennel Club’s Online Litter Registration System.

Gone are the days of going through cumbersome paperwork and sending postal application forms to the Kennel Club’s registration department in order to register a dog – people can now be guided quickly and easily through the process from the comfort of their own homes.

Originally piloted in early 2006, the Online Litter Registration system has gone from strength to strength. Beginning with its launch to Kennel Name holders in September 2006, it progressed to allow Accredited Breeder registrations in July 2007. During 2007 the online system registered 8,635 litters, covering a total of 45,768 puppies. The Online Registration System opened to allow everyone to register dogs online in December 2008, by which time the system was responsible for 25% of all puppies registered for the whole year with 12,877 litters registered online, equating to 67,492 puppies.

The figures speak for themselves and now the system is open to all it is expected that the online figures will continue to rise dramatically in 2009. In January 2009 alone, 250 litters were registered online from non Kennel Name holders in addition to 1265 litters from Accredited Breeders and those with Kennel Names, taking the percentage of registered puppies online for the month to almost 37%.

The Kennel Club’s Online Registration System enables breeders and new puppy owners to register dogs 24 hours a day. By registering their dogs online dog owners also have the added benefit of having their own homepage where they can view the details of all of the dogs registered in their name, their parentage and enter any identification numbers that the dogs possess.

Caroline Kisko, Kennel Club spokesperson, said: “As the number of pedigree dog owners continues to increase and the amount of spare time people have decreases, we have no doubt that online registration with the Kennel Club is the way forward.”

People register their dogs with the Kennel Club as they have full access to a range of services offered by the Club throughout their dog’s lifetime. From reunification services for lost pets and insurance, to access to the full range of dog activities and events that are licensed by the Kennel Club that can transform and enrich the dog owning experience. Breeders must apply for an online account before they can proceed to register a litter online. This can be done by visiting www.thekennelclub.org.uk/onlinelitter.
