As for your own dog if it is not KC registered the only way you could now do so would be to get in touch with the breeder and ask them . Sometimes you can find out who the dogs sire ( Dad ) is and who its Dam ( mum ) is and if they are also KC reg you might be able to get your own registered.

It is not neccessary to KC reg but IMO it is better that a pedigree dog is so as then you can trace its parentage , health checks etc to see that your dog is from good lines .
