HOW TO REGISTER/LIST YOUR DOG

For information on how to register or list your dog with United Kennel Club, Inc. call the Registration Department at (269) 343-9020 or visit our website at www.ukcdogs.com.

Single Registration Applications. Are available for dogs that are not eligible for litter registration with United Kennel Club. Dogs must be registered with a UKC acknowledged registry and submit a copy of that registration as proof in order to be considered for registration. When requesting an application please be sure to indicate breed, age and current registry as some breeds do have specific requirements. Applications may be obtained by visiting www.ukcdogs.com or contacting the Registration Department at (269) 343-9020.

Limited Privilege Applications (LP). Are for purebred dogs of unknown pedigree as well as mixed bred dogs. Dogs must be spayed or neutered to apply. If approved a Limited Privilege Card will be issued allowing the dog to then participate in performance events such as obedience, agility and weight pull. Purebred dogs of the gun dog group may also enter hunting retriever events. Applications may be obtained by visiting www.ukcdogs.com or contacting the Registration Department at (269) 343-9020.

Temporary Listing (TL) number. Temporary Listing Numbers do not expire. This "temporary" number may be used to enter a dog in UKC events before the dog is permanently registered or permanently listed with UKC. Once a dog is permanently registered the TL number must not be used.
You may enter this dog in as many shows and trials as you wish using this TL number until the dog is permanently registered at which time the TL number is void. UKC will keep track of points and qualifying legs earned by your dog during this time.

Temporary Listing numbers may be purchased and issued at events listing availability on the UKC website. Temporary Listing numbers may also be purchased and issued on the same day by calling the Dog Events Department at UKC during regular business hours.

A Temporary Listing (TL) number may be issued to:

    1. Any purebred dog that is eligible for registration with UKC.

    2. Any spayed/neutered purebred dog that is ineligible for permanent registration with UKC.

    3. Any spayed/neutered mixed-bred dog eligible to participate in UKC performance events.

    4. TL numbers are not valid for events that have already occurred.

    5. All Temporary Listing Numbers are non-refund able, non-transferable, and do not apply to the cost of permanent registration or Limited Privilege numbers.

    6. Owners may choose when to send in their "Application for Single Registration" or "Application for Limited Privilege" form. We encourage you to be sure that we receive your application for permanent registration or listing no later than 60 days from the date of issue! However, if the application is received after that time, don’t worry as your application will still be accepted.

    7. A TL number must not be issued to the following dogs:

      • A dog that has previously been issued a UKC permanent registration number;

      • A dog that has previously been issued a UKC Limited Privilege number.

    8. Any wins, titles earned, Top Ten points or All Star points will not reflect on the dog's record until it is permanently registered or listed. As the dog owner, you are responsible to complete and submit the application for registration along with the proper registration fees and any additional TL fees based on the following schedule.
Once your dog is permanently registered (meeting the registration requirements of the TL number and the fee structure noted below) with the United Kennel Club, all points and legs earned using your valid TL number will be entered into your dog's permanent UKC records.

TL Number to Permanent UKC Number Conversion Fee Schedule. The listed schedule of fees only refers to the cost of converting the TL history onto your dogs permanent record after it is registered with UKC. The normal registration fees still apply when registering your dog with UKC.

From the date of TL purchase to the actual date we receive the application at the UKC offices:

0-60 days – No charge
61-120 days - $50
121-180 days - $100
181-240 days - $150
241-320 days - $200
321-365 days - $250
365+ days - $300

Applications may be obtained by visiting www.ukcdogs.com or contacting the Dog Events Department at (269) 343-9020.

Litter Registration Applications- Are to register the offspring produced from the mating of a UKC registered Sire and Dam. Both the Sire and Dam must be permanently registered before the litter may be registered. The litter must be registered within one year from the date of birth. An Application for Permanent Registration is issued for each puppy in the litter. Breeders may obtain permanent registration certificates at the time of litter registration on any puppy they plan to keep and if they choose to do so will receive a discounted rate. Breeders may also choose to directly transfer puppies to new owners at the time of litter registration at the regular transfer fee. Applications may be obtained by visiting www.ukcdogs.com or contacting the Registration Department at (269) 343-9020.
