We are excited to share that the new AKC.org is here! The website has been completely redesigned based on important feedback from the Fancy, Club members, Delegates, Breeders, dog lovers everywhere and others. Here’s a reminder of what’s new on the site:

  • New and improved search. Searching for information on our site has never been easier! Not only are results more relevant, but you can also see the most popular or your own most recent searches. Plus, there’s a new “auto complete” function so that you don’t have to type out every letter in your query, and a new advanced search so you can dive in even deeper.
  • New top navigation. You’ll find an expansive menu on the top of every page to make it easier to find resources for Registration, Judging, Sports and key events like the AKC National Championship Presented by Royal CaninObedience ClassicAgility Invitational and AKC National Owner-Handled Series (NOHS) Finals. You’ll also find breed standards elevated to the top of each breed page.
  • New left navigation bar. The new navigation bar on the left-hand side acts as a shortcut to specific content categories. We’re confident you’ll love these navigational improvements: In fact, we tested extensively with many different groups of real AKC.org visitors with different needs to better understand how you want to find the information you want.
  • More access to Sports and Events. You can now get to each Sport and Event you’re interested in through multiple entry points in multiple locations… because not everybody’s path is going to be the same.
  • Improved Breed pages. Each breed’s standard has been given a place of prominence and is now positioned at the top of the breed page. There is also more information about the breed to help educate dog owners.
  • More inviting visuals and content. Our site has had a total makeover! All pages have been redesigned, with better images, graphics, layout and writing.

We’ve created a New Website Help Guide with specific FAQ sections for:


Each includes step-by-step instructions, video tutorials, and quick links.

We’ve also developed a series of recorded webinars to facilitate using the site with step-by-step walkthroughs. These are narrated introductions to breed pages, sports pages, search, and more, highlighting major features by explaining what they are and how they work.

We hope you enjoy the new AKC.org.
