AKC Registration

The American Kennel Club is the oldest and most recognized purebred dog registry in the world.  When you register your dog with AKC you are recording your dog's place in the breed history!  In addition, AKC offers more than $100 in registration benefits.  All of our dogs are registered with the American Kennel Club (AKC) and our puppies comes with full registration rights.  Did you know the Miniature Schnauzer ranks as the 11th most popular dog in America?  

 

Visit the AKC website for more information about the breed and registration.

To complete our AKC paperwork, we will need the name, address and phone number of the person the puppy will be registered to.  Once you receive your puppy, you can complete the registration form we provide and mail to AKC.  (If your puppy is shipped to you, the AKC registration paperwork will be sent with the puppy.)

You also have the option to complete your AKC registration online!  The application we provide you will have a PIN number for you to use in the online process. Completing the registration online takes about 5 minutes so, we highly recommend it!

 

 

White Miniature Schnauzers:

(taken directly from the AKC website: http://www.akc.org/events/conformation/faqs.cfm)

Solid white dogs may be registered with no restrictions, but in some breeds they may not be shown in a Conformation event.

Decisions about acceptable colors are made by the
national breed clubs for each of the respective breeds. You may want to contact them if you would like additional information.

In addition to color information in the breed standards related to showing, the national breed clubs also determine what colors may be used in the registration of their breed. While some colors may be disqualifications within the breed standard, dogs of a disqualifiable color may still be registered. However, AKC may ask for color pictures of the dogs prior to registration. For example, in the case of Miniature Schnauzers, dogs will not be registered as white unless pictures are submitted with the Registration Application. Two 3 x 5 color photographs (close up front view and standing side view) must be submitted or the application will be rejected. Anytime that color questions arise and pictures are submitted, they should be sent to:
