How to register my dog without documentation?

[Whittemore]

Please help: How can I register my adult Blue Doberman without documentation? Long story but we lost everything in a house fire including our dog registration paperwork. If Im willing to submit blood or dna samples what's the best level that I could register my dog up to?

I would think the breeder would be able to help you with that

Yeah, I would think the breeder would have the number he was assigned when he was born and his parents numbers, which you'll also need. They may also have another form they can provide you.

I'd definitely check with your breeder since they should have all of that on file. The breeder should at least have the parents registration numbers so I'm sure it wouldn't be too hard to get the regular registration on your pup.

So sorry about your house fire. That's one of my biggest fears.

Breeder cant be reached by email or phone and moved out of Cleveland. I had puppy papers and I registered him with AKC. We had a house fire and lost everything, including paperwork. AKC couldn't find anything when I gave my info. So im stuck.

AKC couldn't find anything when I gave my info.

It's really odd that they couldn't. If it's a fairly reputable breeder it's possible you might be able to find something in a Google search or on Dobequest if you remember the parents registered names.

The problem for me is friends of ours drove to Cleveland Ohio from Tennessee to pick up the puppy for us. Yes it was on craigslist but they had papers with the pups.
