Why are doodles not AKC registered?
AKC registration is only for dogs who come from a long history of purebred dogs. That means the dog, the dog’s parents, and the dog’s ancestors are all purebred dogs. (As an aside, Goldendoodles don’t have AKC papers either because the breed’s not part of the registry.)
