About us

At American Canine Legacy (ACL), we believe that every dog has a story to tell—a lineage that deserves to be recognized, celebrated, and preserved. We are more than just a dog registry; we are a movement dedicated to ensuring the health, welfare, and heritage of dogs from all walks of life.

 

Founded with a passion for the bond between dogs and their owners, ACL stands as a new standard in the world of canine registration. With our deep commitment to ethical practices, transparency, and accuracy, we offer a registry that champions proper care and understanding of canine lineage. Every dog registered with ACL is treated with the respect they deserve, and we aim to provide owners with not only a registration number but a legacy they can proudly share.

 

Our registry includes a vast and diverse collection of breeds—245 to be exact—from the familiar to the unique. Whether you’re looking to register a well-known companion or a rare breed with a rich history, ACL ensures that each dog is acknowledged for their unique traits and lineage. We believe that the history of these breeds should be honored, passed down, and protected, and that every dog’s genealogy is an important part of their identity.

 

As a new registry, ACL is built on a foundation of trust, respect, and care. Unlike other registries that may overlook the finer details, we make it our mission to focus on the well-being of the dogs we register. From breeder to owner, every step of the process is guided by our commitment to ethical practices. We stand firmly against irresponsible breeding practices, and we work to ensure that every registered dog is bred with intention, care, and a focus on improving the health of the breed.

Our dedication extends to the integrity of our records. When you register with ACL, you can be confident that the information we provide is accurate, reliable, and true to the breed standards. We understand the responsibility that comes with documenting a dog's lineage, and we approach every record with the utmost respect for both the dog and their heritage.

 

At ACL, we’re not just building a registry; we’re building a community. Our vision goes beyond registration numbers—we aim to create a space where breeders, owners, and enthusiasts alike can connect, share knowledge, and work together toward the continued betterment of the breeds we love. As a part of this community, you’ll have access to a wealth of resources, educational materials, and ongoing support for your canine family.

 

With 245 breeds listed, we provide an expansive and inclusive space for every dog, from the most popular companions to those with rich and diverse histories waiting to be rediscovered. Each breed has its own unique attributes, challenges, and history, and we embrace that diversity wholeheartedly. We strive to ensure that every dog’s legacy is preserved, celebrated, and respected.

 

American Canine Legacy is more than just about the present; it's about ensuring that our dogs’ legacies continue for future generations. It’s about doing what’s right for the dogs and their owners, and offering a new approach to canine registration that puts the dogs first. We’re excited to be part of this journey, and we look forward to helping you preserve your dog’s legacy, one registration at a time.
