How Do I Register Puppies With an ACA Mom & AKC Dad?
If you have a puppy from an American Canine Association (ACA) dam (mother) and an American Kennel Club (AKC) sire (father), you can register the puppy with the ACA, but not with the AKC. The ACA hosts a genetic health tracking system and has events for members and their ACA registered dogs to participate in each year.
