PDKC

The Club

An independent registry with one mandate: record the dog in front of you.

PDKC was founded by breeders of micro-sized and designer dogs who were told their dogs could not be registered anywhere. We set our own standards, publish them openly, and verify every record we issue.

Official Size Class & Weight Standards

Five classes, published openly.

MicroUnder 4 lbsOur signature classification — dogs and puppies below the threshold accepted by legacy registries.
Teacup4 – 5 lbsThe traditional teacup weight band, registered and verified with full lineage.
Toy5 – 9 lbsToy proportioned dogs, including imperial and miniature lines.
Miniature9 – 20 lbsMiniature and moyen sizes within the exclusive designer program.
StandardOver 20 lbsFoundation and outcross stock recorded alongside a micro program.
