Officially Official

We are pleased to announce that I am now officially

Hilda Heaven Sent

When I arrived at the PugRanch last May 

I did not bring any AKC registration papers with me.

We are thankful that AKC offers pups that do not have AKC registration papers to apply for a limited registration that allows them to compete in AKC dog sports.

In my case (and Mabel's also) we applied for a 

"Purebred Alternative Listing"

   Dogs that are of mixed heritage may apply for a

"Canine Companion" listing 

and will be designated an "All American Dog"

 for competition purposes. 

To apply for my PAL# I needed to be at least 6 months old,

 spayed (or neutered for boys), 

send a front and side picture 

and tell AKC why we think I am a purebred Pug. 

My front picture

Side picture

2 weeks later it arrived in the mail!

My official listing with AKC! 

And that is not all!

Now that I have a PAL #

Mom was able to send in my Canine Good Citizen test results and have that title added to my record!! 

So now I am officially 

Hilda Heaven Sent CGC

Mom and Mabel are pretty proud of me! 

We are the PugRanch Kids
