Each of our Maltese is Registered with the American Kennel Club (AKC). All of our sires are certified through the AKC's DNA Certification Program. We guarantee the purebred Maltese lineage of each of our puppies through all generations of Maltese.

What is the AKC?

The American Kennel Club is the oldest dog registry in the United States, and the largest purebred dog registry in the world. The AKC is a not for profit organization, and is the standard by which all other registries are measured.

The AKC sponsors 16,500 dog events per year including conformation (like Westminster or the Eukanuba National Championship), agility, obedience, rally, tracking, lure coursing, earthdog, field trial, hunt test, and coonhound events.

The AKC awards $260,000 in scholarships to veterinary students and youths active in the sport of purebred dogs. The AKC supports thousands of volunteers and teachers across the country who teach responsible dog ownership and safety around dogs.

The American Kennel Club features a Canine Good Citizen program which is a 10-step test that certifies dogs who have good manners at home and in the community.

The AKC conducts more than 5,000 kennel inspections annually to ensure the integrity of the AKC registry and monitor care and conditions at kennels across the country (including kennels inside homes).

The AKC offers the largest, most comprehensive set of DNA programs for the purposes of parentage verification and genetic identity to ensure reliable registration records.

The AKC began AKC Companion Animal Recovery (CAR), which has reunited more than 250,000 lost pets with their owners.

The American Kennel Club operates a Canine Legislation department that provides input for federal, state, and local legislation governing responsible dog ownership.
