American Canine Association - Dog Registration

Dog Registration

To register a purebred canine with the ACA, the canine's parents must be registered with the ACA. If the canine has a foreign registry lineage or parents are not registered with the ACA, you must submit a 3 generation pedigree from the current registry, along with the canine or litter certificate from the current registry. The registration of a canine in the ACA does not certify the quality or health of the animal. Only a certified veterinarian may verify the health of the canine. You can also submit the Health Certification Form signed by a certified veterinarian and this information will be included in your registration record, to help breeders and owners maintain healthy canine colonies.
