Changing the registered name of a dog

The registered name of a dog is usually chosen by the breeder when they register the puppy. The breeder is the only person who is able to register a dog with the Kennel Club, and in order to complete registration they must select Kennel Club names for each puppy in the litter.

Please be advised that the Kennel Club name does not need to be the same as the pet name of the dog.

If you wish to change the registered name of a dog please complete a Form 7. The breeder needs to sign the application to agree to the change of name and the application needs to be received within three months of registration.
