AKC registration certificate

[Lovetodream88]

So I have a question it maybe weird and unanswerable but here we go. I have never had an AKC registered dog/puppy until now. I sent in his pictures (that's what they said to do it he is not one of the listed colors) and his application. Well the registration certificate came in a few days ago and its so small. When Joey has gotten his AKC trick dog titles they have all been normal certificate size. Although I know not reputable but Callie and Penny's ACA papers are also regular size. I kinda hang these on my wall as like their birth certificate. I was just wondering why they are so small and not the size of a regular certificate?

Hi Taylor,

Would seem folks often group together the pup picture, AKC registration and multi-generation pedigree -- and then frame the grouping.

See examples of this by a third party: DiplomaFrames. Would think you could DIY.

Could the availability of the multi-generational pedigree be the reason the AKC registrations are smaller?

Those are definitely nice frames. I don’t plan on breeding him so I figured the pedigree wasn’t something I needed. I do like those frames though.

Unsure this will help, but little Dutch's registration came today. I ordered and received both the registration certificate and the pedigree. The certificate is smaller, as you describe, but the pedigree is 8-1/2 X 11. If you want your wall materials to be the same size, could you order the pedigree and then somehow overlay the registration? --KatysMom

I just had my dad make a custom mat for me. I wonder why they are so small though.

You could mat the cert if a larger frame so they would be the same size

I usually get them because I like to make a binder for my Furkids. I'd even went so far as to ask the breeder if I can take pictures of their parents just so I can show and tell.

I do a lot of training with my pups so I hang all their certificates on my wall so it’s like a big show and tell
