Hello, My name is Lauren and im very new to this site. I own an American Pitbull Terrier, this is my first dog i've ever owned. I was told when i bought the puppy that he would come with papers, i bought him when he was 8 weeks old, He is now almost 6 months old and i would very much like to register him.. anywhere!.. but i never recieved any sort of papers.. come to find out the sire and dam have NO papers. its obvious that my dog is purebred though. he's very beautiful and i would love for the chance to stud him. I have no pedigree or papers from the sire or dam, I cant even get in touch with the man I bought him from. is there anything i can do to get him registered? I will buy necessary DNA testing and everything.

Thank you for contacting United Kennel Club. We appreciate your interest.

For a dog that is not already registered with UKC as part of a litter, and whose parents are not both UKC registered, we do offer Single Registration. The rules for Single Registration for the American Pit Bull Terrier are as follows:

1. The dog must be at least one year of age

2. Completed UKC "American Pit Bull Terrier Application for Single Registration" (available on our website at http://www.ukcdogs.com/res/pdf/fo23adm.pdf)

3. Copy of dog's registration certificate from UKC recognized registry. For APBT we recognize the American Kennel Club, American Dog Breeders Association (ADBA), The Kennel Club, The Canadian Kennel Club or any FCI registry

4. Copy of dog's complete three generation pedigree (photocopy or handwritten pedigree is acceptable)

5. Three color photos (one of each side and one from the front in a standing position)

6. The dog must be inspected by an approved UKC inspector. View Inspectors List for contact information for the inspector in your area. If an inspector is not available, a 20 minutes video presentation may be submitted in lieu of an inspection. The video should show the dog in a public place interacting and being pet by strangers

7. Registration fee of $45.00 (payable as a personal check, money order or MasterCard or Visa)

Please note that these requirements are needed to register your dog with UKC. Examinations and DNA profiling provide limited information and would not be sufficient to register a dog or verify a dog is purebred. A dog without a complete three generation pedigree and registration with an approved registry will not be considered for registration with UKC. If you are unable to provide all of the above requirements, you may list your dog through our Limited Privilege program if the dog has been spayed or neutered.

Please feel free to reply to this email to request an "American Pit Bull Terrier Application for Single Registration" be mailed to you, be sure to include your name complete mailing address and name of the application you wish to receive.

Thank you again for contacting us.

The only problem is that i can't supply a 3 generation pedigree because i have no knowledge of the dog's sire and dam information. is there anyway that i can like supply a DNA test or and equivalent?

No, we need 3 generation pedigree information. Without this information, you will not be able to register your dog with us.

Hi Russell, is 3 generations the parents of each parent, the parents and the pup? Also, if I breed a UKC registered dog with an dog registered to a different registry does it weaken the pedigree or bloodline?

A 3 generation pedigree consists of the parents, Grandparents & Great Grandparents of a dog. If you breed a UKC dog with a dog registered with another registry, that litter would not be able to be registered with UKC.
