In order to register a dog with the AKC you must first have papers from the breeder showing the litter was registered with the AKC. The breeder obtains these papers by submitting a report of puppies born of two AKC registered parents. If either parent is not AKC registered, then the puppies cannot be AKC registered in the normal way.
However, any purebred dog of a breed recognized by the AKC can be registered on an indefinite listing privilege if the animal is first spayed or neutered and an application with fees and required photographs is submitted to the AKC. Such animals cannot (obviously) be used for breeding nor shown in conformation, but they can compete in trials like obedience, herding, gun dog, tracking, and agility.
