I always believed that you could not register any dog unless you had five generation pedigree, all sounds a bit pointless in my eyes. KC have obviously lowered their standards!
No offence to anyone

If you dont want to show then yes - as long as breeding is done the correct way etc. As long as the pedigrees were truthful - and everything came back good then I dont see a problem.
BUT if you had non KC pups and the best pup was born that was so close to the breed standard its unreal - What a waste that would be!!! IMO Being from the show world its hard to look at it any other way LOL

Looking at it another way - the dogs registered can show in special companion dog club classes - something I suppose the owners of these crossbreeds etc that are registered want to do. They wont see it as money making for the KC they will see it as something they can do with their beloved pet

Love your Douge Debbie, How old is he?

He's a she LOL
She was about 8 month in the pic - shes now 10 month

now this should some it up..quote from kc site.

It doesn’t matter if your dog is a pedigree or a crossbreed, with the Companion Dog Club, all that matters is your extra special dog!

Kennel Club Registration - The Kennel Club
Kennel Club Registration

25-Jul-06

The Kennel Club is dedicated to canine wellbeing and registers over 200,000 pedigree dogs every year. This knowledge helps to maintain the integrity and health of pedigree breeds. There are 209 breeds of dog eligible for Kennel Club registration, which are categorised in seven groups: hounds, gundogs, terriers, utility, working, pastoral and toys. Crossbreeds are also eligible for registration in their own right under the Activity Register and with the Companion Dog Club.

Breed Register

The Kennel Club deals with all matters relating to the registration of puppies, and is able to offer many services through its computer system, which contains registration details of every dog registered since 1982.

To be eligible for entry onto the breed register, both the sire and dam must also be eligible for entry onto this register, and be of the same breed.

Pedigrees

When you collect your Kennel Club Registered puppy, the breeder may also supply a Kennel Club pedigree certificate. If not, you can order a range of pedigrees directly from the Kennel Club - it is a unique record detailing your dog's family tree.

Activity Register

Any dog of any ancestry may be registered in the Activity Register. Any dog on this register may then compete in Obedience, Working Trials, Agility, Heelwork to Music and Flyball competitions licensed by the Kennel Club. It is not eligible to compete in Field Trials or Gundog Working Tests.

By registering your dog with the Kennel Club you will have access to a number of benefits and services, including our flagship publication, the Kennel Gazette, advice and support on dog health, welfare and training and access to a range of different events and activities licensed by the Kennel Club for you and your dog to enjoy. Please note that if your dog is already registered on the Kennel Club Breed Register, it is not necessary to also apply for registration on the Activity Register, as it is already eligible to compete in all these activities. If both parents of your dog are on the Breed Register you should apply to have your dog added to the Breed Register. For further information please contact 0870 606 6750.


Any dog that is a member of the Companion Dog Club is automatically entered onto this register. The Companion Dog Club is a great way to become part of the dog world and celebrating with others the company of dogs company with others.

Established by the Kennel Club in 2001, the Club is open to both crossbreed and pedigree dogs and members find it is a great way to celebrate the fun and friendship they share with their doggy pals.

When you join the Companion Dog Club you will receive a membership pack with a range of goodies for you and your dog. A newsletter will also be sent to you twice a year, packed with news, competitions, special offers, a gallery of all your canine pals and much more. The Club costs £12 to join.

As well as this there are opportunities for members to participate in special Companion Dog Club classes at Companion Dog Shows taking place around the country.
