Welcome and thank you for your interest in our registry program.

In order to address the needs of all Designer Breeders, DDKC has created two registries. We now accept more dogs and puppies!

All dogs registered in the DDKC Premier Registry must have its pure breed foundations in sires and dams that are/were registered with the AKC, UKC, Canadian Kennel Club, any FCI member registry, or a recognized active breed club registry. Only after the proof of the purebred sire and dam will the litter and/or dog (and any descending litters and/or dogs be registered). This is why we have provided a discount for multiple registrations. That way, breeders that have several generations of designer/hybrid dogs through their kennels are able to register their entire kennel's genealogy in one transaction. Afterwards, future litters can be registered one by one.

Dogs registered in the DDKC Classic Registry may have sires and dams from any other pure breed registry. If one parent is registered with an DDKC Premier Registry approved pure breed registry, and the other is registered with another registry, then the offspring is automatically registered in the Classic Registry.

Our registry pedigrees will include breed, color, variety (toy - standard), and generation (F1 - M). Each dog will receive and individual number indicating breed, breeder (owner of dam), gender, litter number and individual dog number. Each registered dog will receive a 3 generation pedigree embossed with our distinguished seal of authenticity.

By our definition, Toy is a maturity level of less than 12 inches and/or less than 12 lbs. Mini, Medium and Standard are defined by size the offspring are expected to mature to. On backcrosses, second generation crosses if two different size varieties are bred, we will define the litter as the middle of the three or smaller of the two. Although the dog may mature to more than that expected size, from a genetic stand point it is important not to discount the dogs genetic ability to produce smaller.

 
In summary our registration proceedures are:

1. Breeder Registration form and payment
2. Litter Registration form and payment
3. Mail in copies of registration forms of the purebred parents

The generation number of the designer/hybrid dog will be noted as F1, F1b, F2, F2b, M or MGB. These are defined as follows:

F1 = 1st generation puppy
This puppy is 50% pure breed A and 50% pure breed B, e.g., a Golden Retriever and Poodle cross = F1 Golden Doodle

F1b = back cross puppy
This puppy is 25% pure breed A and 75% pure breed B, e.g., an F1 Goldendoodle and Poodle cross= F1b Golden Doodle

F2 = F1 hybrid to F1 hybrid

F2b = second generation back cross puppy .
This puppy is a F1 bred to a F1b (hybrid back cross)

F3 = F2 hybrid to F2 hybrid

M=Multi-generation Hybrid.
(F3 or higher hybrid to F3 or higher hybrid)

MGB =Multi-generational backcross

(all dogs in this catagory are over 85% of one breed)
