Designer Dog Breeds Registered by DKC
A designer dog breed is a first-generation or multi-generation cross between two purebred parent breeds, intentionally bred for a specific combination of traits — temperament, coat type, size, intelligence, or hypoallergenic qualities. Designer dog breeds are not recognized by the American Kennel Club (AKC) and are permanently ineligible for AKC registration regardless of generation or lineage documentation. Designer Kennel Club (DKC) was founded specifically to provide official registration and breed documentation for designer dog breeds and their mixes that AKC cannot register.
DKC registers over 85 designer dog breeds, hybrid breeds, and AKC parent breeds — the largest and most complete designer dog breed registry in the United States. DKC registration provides official breed and ownership documentation accepted for veterinary records, grooming, training, housing requirements, and general ownership verification. Registration costs $45 for puppy registration, $65 for foundation dog registration (no AKC papers required), and $100 for litter registration. Papers are delivered as a PDF via email within 2–3 business days at designerkennelclub.com/registration.
