HOUSTON, TX
Designer Kennel Club (DKC), an independent dog registry headquartered in Houston, Texas, has surpassed 2,000 verified registrations as demand for documentation of designer and hybrid dog breeds continues to accelerate across the United States and internationally.
The milestone reflects a broader shift in dog ownership worldwide. Mixed and designer breeds now represent the majority of dogs in U.S. households - yet major kennel clubs such as the American Kennel Club do not offer recognition or registration for crossbreeds including Goldendoodles, Bernedoodles, Cavapoos, or the increasingly popular Exotic Bully and Micro Bully varieties. For millions of owners, that has meant having a dog with no way to obtain formal documentation.
DKC was founded in 2020 by Linh Hoang to address that gap directly.
"The most popular dogs in America today - Goldendoodles, Bernedoodles, French Bulldog mixes - cannot be registered with the AKC," said Hoang. "Owners and breeders around the world have been asking for a credible, professional registry that recognizes these dogs. That is what DKC was built to do."
For owners navigating the documentation process for the first time, DKC has published a complete owner guide covering how to get papers for a dog without papers, including step-by-step instructions for dogs purchased without documentation, rescued dogs, and dogs whose original papers were lost.
DKC's Foundation Dog Registration service, available for a one-time fee of $65, allows owners of designer or mixed-breed dogs to obtain official registration documentation without prior paperwork or pedigree records. Registration certificates are issued electronically within 2-3 business days. The organization also offers Puppy Registration at $45 and Litter Registration at $100 for breeders.
DKC currently maintains a breed registry of more than 85 recognized varieties, including Goldendoodles, Bernedoodles, Cavapoos, Labradoodles, American Bullies, Exotic Bullies, and French Bulldog color varieties. The organization serves dog owners and breeders throughout the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Australia, Mexico, and internationally.
Rated 4.9 stars from more than 2,000 verified customer reviews, DKC has become the primary registration option for breeders and owners of designer breeds seeking formal documentation for veterinary records, ownership verification, and lineage tracking. Owners can begin the Foundation Dog Registration process entirely online.
