You can use the Dog Lookup to see what a dog's reg # is (if you only have a name).
Once you have the reg #, you can check to see if the littermates are registered (just use Back To Search and change the last 2 #'s in the original reg #.... single digits, us a zero first (01, 02...).

This link, you can see WHEN the dog was registered (AKC # required) or transferred (transaction # required)...

You can see the application status, name and color of the dog, but it does not show who owns the dog.

Ok, so I took Bella's registration number, WS36894504 and entered it in the box, and it came up with her name, and that is supposed to indicate she is the 4th puppy in the litter, correct? Then I entered WS36894501 and I got an error, same for 02 and 03. Does that mean these pups arent registered yet? The same thing happened with Nexus's reg # when I changed the last 2 of her # from 01 to 12, 03, and 04.

I did find 2 of Mysti's siblings, however, not the other female that was available when we picked Mysti out. The other 2 siblings were both male that I found.

It's absolutely amazing the amount of people who never bother to register their pups. I think I found 2 out of Boris' litter, and about half of them out of Della's back when I checked, but I believe you're right about getting the error on the ones who were never registered.

Kind of interesting at any rate, isn't it?

The V # is the DNA # for the DNA profile for stud dogs

Thanks Jan, that's what I thought it was when I figured out she meant the "V" was at the end with #'s.

Yes, I thought it was pretty strange to find out that littermates to my original female were never registered. She
was from a litter of 12, and only 6 out of the litter were actually registered.

It is interesting, especially since the AKC offers alot in regards to registered pups, and owners. I mean come on, in most cases people spend alot of money on the pups, then dont register them? I would think if they went through the trouble to get an AKC pup they would want it registered.

One would think but it is not so. I have it in my contract that the puppy MUST be registered. I still have to follow up and hound at least half of them to do it. After all it is JUST A PET. That drives me NUTS?

I feel AKC registeration protects the dog and sets it several levels above a mutt. People are usually a little more careful with something they paid good money for. Again no so.

Another thing that drives me nuts is to see all of the ads in the paper for whatever breed and it's $300 with papers or $50 without. What the hell are these people thinking???
