Kennel Club Dog Registration
The Kennel Club is dedicated to canine wellbeing and registers over 200,000 pedigree dogs every year. This knowledge helps to maintain the integrity and health of pedigree breeds.
Crossbreeds are also eligible for registration under the Activity Register and with the Companion Dog Register. Here are the various dog registers and the benefits of joining:
Activity Register (pedigree and crossbreed)
Companion Dog Register (pedigree and crossbreed)
Petlog Registration (pedigree and crossbreed)
The Kennel Club's Dog registration system is a simple record of a puppy's birth. It is open to pedigree breeds which are currently recognised by the Kennel Club and provided both parents are of the same breed and already registered. Find out if your dog breed is listed at our Breed Information Centre.
Benefits:
- Owners know a KC registered pedigree dog will display the characteristics of the breed, in both looks and temperament.
- You can purchase a pedigree certificate for your dog- a unique record detailing your dogs family tree.
- You can take part in many dog shows and dog events throughout the country.
- Registering with the Kennel Club allows owners to show and breed from their dogs.
It is vital that owners register dogs in their own name as soon as possible so that the correct details are stored on the Kennel Club database and to be able to show or breed from your dog.

Which ever registration package you choose, you should also consider microchipping and registration on the Petlog database. Petlog Premium provides you with peace of mind, so if the worst happens and your pet goes missing, Petlog can reunite you both in the quickest possible time.
It is important that owners transfer the details of any new dogs into their own name so that missing dogs can be traced back to the correct home.
