To Register A Litter:*

A litter application must be submitted with descriptive information. The FEMALE (dam) MUST be registered with DRA. The Male (sire) may be registered with another recognized organization. However this will result in a lower classification for the puppies than if both parents are DRA registered. Put DRA name and registration number(s) and other kennel club sire, dam numbers in correct place on application. Complete application as best you can & submit with fee of $40.00 for the whole litter. The DOG REGISTRY OF AMERICA, Inc.™ will issue a printed registration application for each dog in the litter. These have the sex of the puppy on each application. (example; If the litter had 2 Male and 3 Female pups you will receive 2 Male applications and 3 Female applications). When you sell the puppies each purchaser should receive the application which shows the corresponding correct sex indicated on form.

Classification *

Data from applications will be used to determine proper classification. In the event that your dog's papers were lost, never issued. If your dog was not a "recognized breed", or is an import. The following items will be accepted as proof for classification: Photocopies of another club (example AKC UKC or ADBA) registration or application OR 2 photographs of the dog, one head view and one side view OR a Letter from a licensed veterinarian stating what your dog is.

Data submitted on and with DRA applications will be used to determine proper classification.

Dog's names should be unique.

We suggest the dog have at least 2 names up to 30 characters and spaces.

(Example: dog's name is Gizmo, owners name is Bill Jones, and they live on Lenox Rd the dog's name could be;

Gizmo Jones, Bill's Gizmo, Gizmo of Lenox, or Gizmo the Red Nosed Shih Tzu)

If a dog's name is common DRA has the right to add the owners name or numerals or other modifications to the requested name to avoid confusion and duplication

(example: dog's name is Gizmo owners last name is Jones, DRA may issue certificate with the dog's name as Gizmo Jones)

DRA reserves the right to refuse to register the dog with a requested name deemed unacceptable for any reason.

Registration and Quality: Many in the public believe that a dog‚ "with papers" guarantees the quality of a dog. This is not the case. DRA is a registry service. A registration certificate identifies the dog as the offspring of a sire and dam, born on a known date. It does not guarantee the health or quality of the dog. Quality in the sense of "show quality" is determined by many factors including appearance, condition, and performance. Show stock breeders are trying to produce animals to according to a breed standard. This can lead to breeding practices that are actually detrimental to the health and temperament of the dogs. When this occurs repeatedly over several generations, the animals, while still purebred, can be of extremely low quality
