AKC Pet Registration

Schnauzer Splendor registers our Mini Schnauzer adults and litters with AKC. We offer AKC pet* registration to you, and we provide you with the Registration form to submit.

What is AKC Pet Registration? Pet registration means that no litters produced by the dog are eligible for registration.  We do not offer breeding registration.

Color Codes

AKC used color Codes to identify the color of your Miniature or Toy Schnauzer puppy. During the registration process, you will need to use the applicable code for your puppy.

Additionally, if your Miniature or Toy Schnauzer is a Parti, the Marking Code will also need to be used during the registration process.

• Black – 007
• Black and Silver – 016

Marking Code

What does it mean for a Miniature or Toy Schnauzer to have Parti markings?

The Parti gene shows as a pattern (marking) resulting in “broken” areas of color. The resulting appearance is areas of color separated by white. The Parti pattern is expressed with any of the Miniature Schnauzer colors.
