How to Find a Dog by AKC Registration Number
The American Kennel Club (AKC) allows you to find a dog through their online database by typing in its registration number. This works with all types of AKC registrations, including full registration (the dog may compete in conformation shows and its progeny is eligible for registration) or limited registration (the dog can compete in working events, but not conformation, and its offspring are ineligible for AKC registration). When you look the dog up by its registration number, you'll be given the breed and the full-registered name.
