How to Register a Poodle Puppy With the CKC
Poodles are a very smart, agile breed of dog. Although they are often labeled as empty headed, poodles are popular family dogs for their intelligence and general obedience. Since poodles are a pure breed and people who purchase poodle puppies have the option of registering them with the AKC (American Kennel Club) or CKC (Continental Kennel Club), which tracks approved lines of purebred dogs. The CKC is a newer kennel club that does not yet have the reputation of the AKC, but is gradually growing larger.

Use a Canine registration application if your puppy's parents are not CKC registered, but are registered with another kennel club. This application will enable you to prove that your puppy comes from purebred parents who haven't been tracked through the CKC (i.e., they're registered with the AKC, but not CKC). Canine application forms are also available through the CKC website.
