The following information regarding AKC registration was obtained from the American Kennel Club website:

A litter is eligible for registration if: It is the result of a mating
between an AKC-registered Sire (male) and an AKC-registered Dam (female)
of the same breed. It is whelped (born) in the U.S.A, its possession or
territories (Puerto Rico, Virgin Islands, Guam, and the Marianna
Islands). To register a litter, the litter owner should complete an an
AKC Litter Registration Application . The application requires basic
information such as the date of birth, number of males and females born,
and the registered names and numbers of the sire and dam. The
application must be signed by all of the owners and co-owners of the dam
and by one owner of the sire. Failure to complete the application
properly will result in processing delays. Processing fees are
nonrefundable, and all fees are subject to change without notice. When
completed, the application should be submitted to the AKC with the
proper fee. Applications must be mailed. You can also register your
litter online. The AKC will mail the litter owner a "litter kit." The
litter kit will include an individual registration application for each
puppy in the litter, as well as a form for record-keeping. The litter
owner should examine the kit thoroughly for errors before issuing the
papers to puppy buyers. Each person or firm who owns, breeds, or sells
dogs that are AKC-registrable must keep accurate, up-to-date records of
all transactions involving these dogs. There must be no doubt as to the
identity of any individual dog or as to the parentage of a particular
dog or litter. The AKC recommends common-sense practices for those who
regularly have multiple dogs or litters on their premises, including:
Permanent identification of each dog, with tattoos, microchips, marking,
or tagging. Isolation of bitches in season. Segregation of litters
whelped near the same date. The AKC requires that the owner of an
AKC-registered dog maintain the following information on the dog: Breed
Registered name and number (or litter number if not registered) Sex,
color and markings Date of birth Names and numbers of sire and dam Name
of breeder Name and address of person from whom directly acquired Date
of acquisition Date and duration of lease, if any The Owner of a dog
which is bred must record: Date and place of mating Names of persons
handling mating Registered name and number of dog to which mated Name
and address of its owner The owner of a litter must record: Date of whelping Number of puppies whelped by sex and by color and
markings Litter registration number Date of sale, gift or death of each
