AKC Announces Creation of AKC Purebred Preservation Bank | Breed preservation has long been a topic of interest for the American Kennel Club, and in January 2021, AKC President and CEO Dennis Sprung and the AKC Board of Directors gave the green light to begin work on an AKC-affiliated breed preservation bank. | | | Breeders Beware: Puppy Scams on the Rise | News reports say puppy buying is at an all-time high, but you have not received many communications about your new litter. Then the phone rings and a buyer is on the line. They are outraged, demanding to know why they have not received a puppy even though they paid a deposit. When you can get a word in, you try to explain that you did not sell them a puppy and, in fact, have never spoken to them. This scenario is happening too often to dog breeders as criminals realize that puppies are in big demand during this time of people working from home. | | | The Importance of 100% Puppy Registration | Your work as a dedicated breeder is vital to upholding AKC's mission to advocate for dogs and the people who love them by promoting responsible dog ownership; which is why your endorsement of purebred dog registration is so important. When you achieve 100% puppy registration, you help preserve your beloved breed and your puppy buyers receive a lifetime of benefits like: | - The opportunity to learn about their dog's family tree with an AKC Certified Pedigree
- Maintenance of accurate breed records
- Access to valuable health testing information, when available
- A customized AKC Registration Certificate
- A complimentary vet office visit
- 30 days of pet health insurance with access to a 24/7 Vet Helpline
- Access to AKC Reunite Microchip Enrollment helps your dog get home safely if ever lost
- 1 year of AKC GoodDog Helpline, a live phone and video training support line
- A free AKC Pupdate enrollment for weekly emails that provide personalized advice for your puppy's breed and age

Watch for early signs of heatstroke (also known as hyperthermia) in your dog to avoid serious outcomes. | | | Making Strides - Wearable Tech for Canine Athletes? | Agility is one of the most popular dog sports in the world. The American Kennel Club manages over one million agility entries and United States Dog Agility Association affiliated groups conduct over 1,000 days of agility events each year! These amazing canine athletes jump, weave, and turn through a series of obstacles fighting for the fastest time among competitors in their jump height group. | | | Transitioning from Puppy to Adult Food Based on Breed Size | It's important that your puppy owners move their puppy to an adult formula at the right time to meet nutritional needs and maintain a healthy weight. Timing the transition from a puppy formula to adult formula can vary greatly when considering both the breed and the activity level. Large and giant dogs, for example, take a lot longer to fully mature than smaller dogs. | | | The Benefits of Size Health Nutrition and Breed Health Nutrition | Every dog is unique, and different-sized dogs have very different physiological needs. Finding the right nutrition for a 7-pound Papillon or 200-pound Mastiff can be complicated. In addition to designing food to meet the unique needs of small, medium and large dogs, we at Royal Canin research breed-specific traits and combine scientific and nutritional research from our network of experts to create precise nutrition for every dog. | | | If you're looking for items to include in your "new puppy kit" to send home with puppy buyers, Tractor Supply Company can help. Start with finding a puppy bed from a huge selection available at the store or online. Use the bed for a basket to place the puppy items in. Search through a huge selection of collars and leashes in numerous sizes, colors and patterns. You may find one to fit your litter theme! | | | |
