Share
Changing the name a dog is registered with is possible, but there are certain rules and time frames that must be followed. Here we go over the process and what you need to know about it.
How does the name change work?
If you want to change the registered name of your dog, you need to contact your dog's breeder. It is the breeder who has the right to submit a name change request to the Swedish Kennel Club (SKK). This must be done within three months of the dog's original registration.
The timeframe is important because it is not possible to change the name after this period, so it is a good idea to act quickly if you are thinking about changing your name.
Who should I contact?
To begin the process:
1. Contact the breeder : Discuss the request and ask them to help you with the request.
2. The breeder contacts SKK : The breeder submits a name change request to SKK within the specified timeframe.
