Answer 1

your breeder, if really a shower of champs should have given you all the paper work and told you what to do to get it to the akc or ukc.

call your breeder and ask for the paperwork.

Answer 2

If you bought a dog from a reputable breeder, whether he comes from "bloodline of champs" or not - the breeder is the one who gives you the papers on the pup, stating the name and AKC registration of the sire and dam and filling in her part of the application.

You send that in to the AKC to register your pup.  Any other registry is fake in the U.S.

If the breeder did not give you such papers along with the health records of your pup, you got conned and the line about "champs" and pedigree is nonsense.

Ask the breeder for the registration papers - that is the ONLY place you can get it from - she has to fill in the information before you can finish it and send it in.

Answer 3

First things first mail in its registation. You can't do much with out it
