Proper way to recogonize breeder in the name...

When I register my pup...do I put the breeders name first, then the pups name, then my name?? Is there a format to follow?? My rat terrier is registered UKCI and I plan on registering her with UKC and begin conformation.

I was told to send her registration and photographs in to register her UKC.
I have a 5 generation pegigree from her breeder, when I switch her from UKCI to UKC, do you use that information, or do you just use the registration slip?

Thank you!

We need the pedigree information to create an official record of the bloodlines on our records.

UKC has only a few rules about a dog's name:

The dog's name shall not exceed 30 letters and spaces and must consist of at least two words.

Abbreviations may be used anywhere in a dog's name, e.g., Mo. River Rambler. No abbreviation may be used before or after a dog's name if the abbreviation is the same as any title or other special designation offered by U.K.C., e.g., "PR," or "CH."

The owner's first or last names may be used anywhere in the dog's name and in any combination. Examples: Sally's Dog, Sally Sue's Dog, Smith's Dog, Sally Smith's Dog, etc.

Punctuation in the dog's registered name will be exactly as it is written on the Bill of Sale. For example, if the name on the Bill of Sale is "Smith Bill," it will not be changed by the Registration Department to "Smith's Bill." 5. Official U.K.C. designations such as "PR," "CH," etc., will be added to the dog's name by the Registration Department and do not count against the 30 letters and spaces.

The owner of a dog of any breed may change the dog's name as often as the owner likes until the dog receives a title from the United Kennel Club. The name of a dog that has earned a title may not be changed.

No two dogs should have the same name. A customer wishing to give one dog the same name as another should add the Roman numeral "II" or the Arabic number "2" at the end of the dog's name. Example: Smith's Rowdy II.

When transferring ownership of a dog, the dog's name will remain exactly the same unless the new owner enters a new name in the space provided. For instance, if John Smith purchases a dog registered as "Miller's Magic," the name would not be changed to "Smith's Magic" unless Mr. Smith writes that name in the space provided for name changes on the Bill of Sale.

United Kennel Club, Inc. reserves the right to change *or deny lewd or offensive names.
