Absolute horrible club
Absolute horrible club, supporting puppy farmers!!
Breeder’s get as many pups as they can from a female , then move the female on.. if that isn’t puppy farming then I don’t know what is!! And the royal kennel club supports this!!
Stay well clear of this club if you care about dogs.
Someone that truly loves their dogs would never get rid of them or use it as a money making machine!!
Royal kennel club support this!!!

The great bit was the Import registrations customer service ladies, who couldn't have been more helpful in getting my pup's Italian FCI registration information put on the RKC Breed Register.
The downside was the online application form, which kept crashing as I suspect the system could not cope with all the uploads? I tried everything several times but resorted to the telephone, print and email system. Technology sometimes tries to run before it can walk!

Absolutely atrocious site to navigate…
Absolutely atrocious site to navigate when you are attempting to register a litter - they take the money and run.

Extortionate and Greedy
The cost of registering a puppy is extortionate. Moreover the waiting time to have your registration completed and have the documents posted to you is unacceptable. This has been going on for years. It feels like absolute greed and it is the result of having no competition and monopolising the industry. They need to hire more staff. Took 15 minutes to get through to someone over the phone. Fortunately when I did, they (Olivia "Liv") were ace. Hence the second star.

Thank you for your response, we appreciate all feedback from our customers, both positive and negative. We are sorry you believe our registrations prices are driven by greed; our profits are ploughed back into the dog world.
The RKC is a profit for purpose organisation meaning any surplus funds we generate are used to support dog health, welfare, education, and canine research rather than being distributed to shareholders. Much of this support is channelled through our Kennel Club Charitable Trust. The Trust's main aim is to make a real difference to the health of dogs and dog welfare, no matter what their breed or background.
Profits also go towards the support of Royal Kennel Club Breed Rescue is a UK-wide network of breed-specific rescue organisations who help pedigree dogs that need new homes and to connect prospective owners with specialist breed rescues.
As you can imagine we receive many applications annually and register between 150,000 to 200,00 puppies per year.
Each application we receive is registered by hand and is a complex application which takes time to check. The RKC is actively recruiting and training new staff and to ensure the best quality and customer service this process takes time.
We are glad Liv was able to help you on this occasion.

Ella was exceptional and the best help we have ever received
Today we had the pleasure of being connected with Ella due to a problem that the KC site froze half way through -surprise surprise. . We have had over the years some very bad experiences with the KC and the website/staff and expect will continue to have these . BUT exception to the rule this morning and so credit is due to the help we received from Ella as a person for her patience and understanding she is a credit to where she works and needs to be recognised for it .
