AKC SUSPENDED INDEX

Suspended Records from 1999 > Current

The FIRST and ONLY compiled record of American Kennel Club charges, penalties, fines, and suspensions.

Has a person ever been suspended by AKC? If so, for what offense? (See Current AKC Suspensions Below) Such records should be available to dog owners and potential buyers but the AKC Director of Compliance said they could not/would not verify whether a person was or had ever been AKC suspended.

Dec. 2025/Jan 2026 Suspensions

In early 1999 www.TheDogPlace.org began keeping AKC Suspended records as published in the (then print) AKC Gazette. In 2002 the Insider Index section of the www.TheDogPress.com released the first compiled record of American Kennel Club suspensions, fines and penalties and continues that service today.

Before you do business with a breeder or handler, check to see if they have seriously violated AKC rules or dog show decorum. To access suspensions for previous months/years, PLUS AKC Board business, salaries and other Insider Information, you must become an Insider Subscriber click here.
