Contributing Factors: Low Conversion Rates, Low Entry Breeds, Limited Registrations
Abstract
This study focused on four major factors thought to be related to a breed’s risk for extinction from the conformation sport. The factors studied were the number of litters and dogs registered, low conversion rates, status as a low Entry breed (LE) and use of Limited Registrations. The ability to measure risk for extinction from conformation events involved seven elements that were used as indicators for declining litters, registrations and show entries. When the four major factors and seven elements are combined they show how the direction of a breed’s size, show entries and gene pool diversity can be influenced.
This study ranked all the breeds in the stud book based on the number of litters registered. They are listed from largest to the smallest breed. The calculations for the litters registered by each breed were averaged using a three-year period (2013,14,15) to avoid an unusual occurrence during any one year.
After ranking all of the breeds based on the number of litters registered, the first factor studied was the conversion rate for each breed. This factor is important because there are 87 breeds that have a conversation rate of 50% or less meaning that half of all pups born are lost to the breed and the stud book. The second factor studied was the number of Low Entry breeds (LE) which has steadily grown to 90 breeds or 47% of the stud book. The threshold for LE breed status occurs when conformation entries in a breed fall below 3,500 entries in the previous year’s events. Data for 83 of the 90 LE breeds (80%) have entries of less than 1,000 dogs per year which is well below the threshold for LE status. To further highlight the seriousness of LE status, seventeen LE breeds did not have a National Specialty Show and 6 had a National with less than 20 entries.
The third factor studied was limited Registrations (LR). This is a breeder’s tool that was intended to limit the breeding of pups with disqualifications and or other serious breed faults. Based on population statistics the number of poor quality animals expected in a breed should fall in the range of 4 – 6 %. The data for LR indicate that many breeds have significantly higher than expected levels of dogs being registered on a LR. For example, 75 breeds have more than 25% of their pups on LR; 66 breeds have between 25- 50% and six breeds have between 50% - 60% of their pups on LR.
The AKC stud book has 188 breeds ranging in size and diversity. The data for the 60 breeds with the smallest number of registered litters show their conversation rate, status as a LE breed and use of Limited registrations to be good predictors of their candidacy for extinction at AKC conformation shows. Two recommendations are offered to address the problems of potential extinction from the sport and the decline in litters, dog registrations and show entries.
Background
For more than 100 years’ dog shows have been a popular sport in America. What was for many just a past time and hobby became a profession and a business. As the sport developed and matured it became increasingly difficult for the novice to compete and win against the professional handler, the seasoned breeder and the experienced exhibitor. These conditions in part explain the current popularity of the Owner-Handled program. In the early years of the dog sport, AKC events continued to grow along with the number of dog clubs, breeders and exhibitors. However, over these many years our society slowly changed along with the popularity of breeding and showing dogs. In time, the sport began to shift and the public became more careful with their use of time and discretionary dollars. As the cost of a good dog, lodging and food increased and the chances of success for the novice decreased many became overwhelmed and quit. When these factors are combined with the other socio-economic conditions found in a changing society several puzzling trends begin to surface. Plaguing the sport is the lingering problem of a dog club’s ability to attract new members which are needed to manage their shows and other events. While millions continue to own purebred dogs, entries at dog shows continue to decline and the trickledown effect from these factors impact not only the supply of show dogs, but the number of new breeders, exhibitors and the sport itself.
This paper addresses the three major factors and seven elements thought to be the contributing factors that drive these trends. Data in Tables 1-4 show how seven elements influence a breed’s future and their involvement in the sport. The question raised from the data is why so many Americans own a purebred dog yet choose not to breed using a breed standard or belong to a breed club. As these concerns continue to grow the unintended consequences for doing nothing suggest that:
- Sixty breeds will become extinct in the show ring
- The number of breeders who breed based on a breed standard will continue to decline
- The number of clubs that cancel or discontinue holding shows will increase
- Show entries will continue to decline
- Fewer clubs will be able to educate their members and the public
- More breeds will experience declining gene pool size and genetic diversity affecting breed health.
- Three recommendations are proposed on page 18 which address these problems.
Data and Tables
All of the AKC recognized breeds in the stud book are included in this report. The data in tables 1 -4 are based on a three-year average (2013, 14, 15) for each breed. Three-year averages are used to eliminate the effect of any unusual event that might have occurred in any one year that could influence the results.
Each table and discussion explains the importance of how four factors and seven elements influence in some way a breed’s gene pool size, registrations and show entries. The seven elements discussed appear as column headings in tables 1-4 for each breed. They are:
- Total number of litters registered per year
- Total number of pups produced
- Total number of pups registered (conversation rate)
- Conversation rate for each breed (%)
- Total number of pups registered on a limited registration (LR)
- Total number of dogs actually bred
- Total number of dogs actually entered in AKC events
Table 1 includes all 188 AKC breeds in the AKC stud book in Alpha order. Table 2 lists all of the 188 AKC breeds in decending order based on the average number of litters each breed produced each year. Table 3 lists the 90 Low Entry breeds. Table 4 Lists the 60 breeds with the fewest number of litters and those predicted to become extinct in the show ring. The column headings for each table are the same for tables 1-4.
Table 1 begins the discussion with the alphabetical listing of all AKC recognized breeds. This table is useful to find and compare differences between breeds. The seven column headings serve as reference points that show how conversation rates, status as a LE breed and use of LR can and do influence gene pool size and genetic diversity.
Table 2 lists all of the breeds in the AKC stud book in descending order based on the average number of registered litters produced in one year. This table of 188 breeds was divided into three subgroups of approximately 60 breeds based on the number of registered litters for a year. For discussion purposes, the three sub-groups are called: Top, Middle and Bottom groups. The bottom group of 60 breeds are discussed later in Table 4.
Table 3 displays the 90 Low Entry Breeds (LE) which are 47% of the stud book. The term LE refers to those breeds whose entries at conformation shows fall below a threshold of 3,500 dogs in competition from the previous year’s events. The LE list serves as a tool that signals the low frequency of entries at conformation shows, the potential size of a breed club and the estimated number of exhibitors and breeders. The data for the LE breeds show there is little breed movement on and off the LE list from year to year. The important statistic about LE breeds is that the LE List continues to grow.
Table 4 shows a list of the 60 breeds considered at greatest risk for extinction in the conformation sport.
Table 5 by year the frequency of Limited Registration use by the breeders and the frequency by year of their willingness to revoke their decision to limit a registration.
Conversion Rates
The conversion rate is the statistic used to show the number of pups that are AKC registered each year. It serves as a signal about the direction a breed is taking to maintain itself as a recognized breed of the AKC. In 2016 the conversion rate for all breeds was 43% which means that 57% of all purebred pups born are not being registered. This troubling statistic suggests that there is an ongoing slow melting away of the stud book which is affecting many breeds, their entries, club membership and judges.
This statistic also reflects breeder and buyer attitudes about the value and use of an AKC registered dog. Low conversation rates also suggest that breeders do not encourage or follow up to see if their puppy buyers register their new pup. Part of the problem is that some buyers believe that their “blue slip” is a registration. Others may not register their pups because they do not intend to breed or show their pup. Those who own a LR puppy are not given incentives or compelling reasons to register their pup. When low conversion rates are coupled with LE breeds status the cumulative effect contributes to the decline in registrations and show entries. More will be said about this in Recommendation number 1.
Low Entry Breeds (LE)
The low entry breed list originated in 2005 based on prior lists found in AKC records. The LE list was created for the purpose of a consideration for provisional (now permit) judges who had difficulty completing the requirements for regular status. The LE status was also used as a consideration for the availability of educational opportunities on applications for new breeds. It was also used as a guideline when considering waiving part of the requirement to judge new breeds before granting regular status, or for the acceptance of an application. Waiving any part of the requirements was subject to review on a case by case basis with several other factors influencing any decision.
Data for breeds listed as LE serve as a rough measure of a breed’s gene pool size and its genetic diversity. To better understand the seriousness of the LE list of breeds, a review of the actual number of dogs being bred and actually entered in shows are shown in Table 3, columns 9 and 11. When only a small number of dogs are spread over the 1,424 All-Breed and 2,667 Specialty shows, it is easy to understand the frustration felt by breeders and exhibitors seeking competition. Unfortunately, the number of breeds being added to the LE list continues to grow. By 2016 the LE list reached 90 breeds or almost half of the stud book (47%) which can be seen in Table 3d. By 2017 other developments were noted. For example, Table 3a shows that most LE breeds are now significantly below the threshold of 3,500 entries per year.
The data for LE breeds from 2015, 2016 & 2017 show that five established breeds that did not appear on the 2015 LE list moved onto the LE list in 2016 or 2017 (Airedale Terriers, Bloodhounds, Lhasa Aptos, Norwegian Elkhounds & Parson Russel Terriers). Five other breeds that appeared on the 2015 LE list moved off of the LE list in 2016 or 2017 (Bull Terriers, Kerry Blue Terriers, Manchester Terriers, Miniature American Shepherds & Wirehaired Pointed Griffons). Since these changes are small they do not alter the direction of the data. For example, newly recognized breeds usually appear on the LE list during their first year of recognition and most remain on the list in the following years.
According to Jerold Bell, DVM, most breeds lose about 35% of their genetic diversity through breed formation and only a small percentage of dogs will actually become involved in the creation of the next generation. He also says that breed populations can only remain healthy if they can grow and expand. To accomplish this Bell says that breeds with small populations (LE list) need a mentoring program for their puppy buyers because healthy gene pools require genetic diversity and the careful selection of sires and dams in order to produce the desired traits and avoid the deleterious mutations that accompany unwanted traits and diseases.
When the AKC stud book of 188 breeds is ranked in descending order based on the average number of litters produced during a three-year period (2013, 14, 15) the 60 breeds that appear in the bottom group all have three common characteristics: small gene pools, declining genetic diversity and the risk of extinction from the show ring.
Table 3a shows the total number of show entries for All-Breed conformation shows for a seven-year period. The downward trend in entries Is likely to have a larger impact on the 90 LE breeds because of the few number of dogs being exhibited.
Year | Show Entries | Differences | Pct. % |
---|---|---|---|
2010 | 996 | - | |
2011 | 985 | -11 | 1.1 |
2012 | 970 | -16 | 1.5 |
2013 | 936 | -33 | 3.4 |
2014 | 922 | -14 | 1.5 |
2015 | 013 | -9 | 0.9 |
2016 | 893 | -20 | 2.1 |
Table 3b shows that 83 of the 90 LE breeds (88 %) have entries of less than 1,000 dogs per year which is well below the threshold of 3,500 required for LE status. Sixteen other LE breeds have entries that are less than seventeen entries a year. The growing concerns of competitors in these breeds is not knowing where these few dogs will be entered and where majors can be found. This concern should not be ignored because the number of LE breeds continues to grow.
LE Breeds Entries | Entries all shows | # of All-Breed Shows 1,618 | # Specialty Shows 2,667 |
---|---|---|---|
< than 500 entries | 16 | ||
< than 1,000 entries | 17 | ||
< than 2,000 entries | 50 | ||
Total | 83 |
Table 3b shows the total number of LE breeds in competition and the number of entries at their national. It should be noted that most have entries considerably below the threshold of 3,500 per year. This declining statistic impact the availability of completion and new judges.
# Breeds | Total conformation entries |
---|---|
17 | 0 |
6 | < 20 |
50 | < 50 |
17 | < 100 |
When taken together, Tables 3 b-c show a more troubling statistic regarding the appearance of the LE breeds at all-breed conformation shows and at regional and National Specialties. For example, seven breeds do not have a national specialty and 6 other LE breeds have nationals with less than 17 entries and 50 with entries of less than 50

Limited Registrations (LR)
The concept of a Limited Registration was approved by the AKC Board in June 1988. The idea was presented by staff to the delegates at the September 1988 Forum, discussed in December 1988 and March 1989 and voted on and approved by the Delegates in June 1989. Its purpose was to serve as a tool for breeders that had pups with disqualifications and or other serious faults. Breeders had been asking AKC to create a tool that would help address the problem of registering poor quality pups that should not be bred. In 1989 AKC authorized LR and since that time the number of LR has steadily increased as seen in Table 5. It would appear that some breeders are using this tool for reasons other than as a mechanism to limit those with DQ’s and or serous faults. Interviews with more than 100 breeders confirm that breeders use this tool to control the behavior of puppy buyers via contracts that require buyers to sign off before the LR will be lifted. Others are using it to control breeding’s or as a way to demand more money for fully registered pups. The number of pups registered and revoked can be found in Table 5.
Since the beginning of LR program, the number of dogs placed on LR has steadily increased. By 2016 more than one million dogs have been removed from the stud book using this tool. What is not known is the number of pups that are sold on LR that are not registered. Some estimate it to be equal to the number actually registered. Based on population statistics using the Bell Curve the number of dogs in a breed that would be expected to be of poor quality (DQ’s and or other serious faults) would fall in a range of 4-6% for a breed.
A review of the monies spent on dog research and the advancements achieved over the past 20 years one would expect the number of poor quality dog’s being produced to be leveling off or at least be in a decline. For example, advances have been made in how to manage the carriers, how to use formula breeding techniques and how to make better selections of sires and dams to name just a few. All of this research and the accompanying advancements suggest that purpose bred dogs should be better and healthier now than 20 years ago. The data for LR for the past 25 years does not support this conclusion. In many breeds the number of LR is increasing. For example, 60 breeds have more than 25% of their pups on LR; 59 breeds have between 25- 50% on LR and 15 breeds have between 40%-65% of their pups on LR. Note that while LR were authorized in 1989, AKC data for LR begins with 1993.
Table 5 shows the slow and steady increase in the use of limited registrations for only pups actually registered. Those placed on LR that were not registered are not known. When the number of LR pups (registered and not registered) are combined the impact on the stud book is even greater.

Extinction from the Show Ring
Table 4 provides a list of the 60 breeds at the bottom of the stud book based on the number of litters registered. These are the breeds with the smallest number of pups registered, fewest number of dogs being bred and the fewest being exhibited (columns 9 and 11). The most troubling part of this data include the following:
- All of these breeds produce less than 50 litters a year or one per state with the exception of the Bluetick Coonhounds and Affenincshers
- All have less than 20 dogs being bred with four exceptions. Lagotti Romagnoli (24), Blue Tick Coonhounds (33) and Affenincshers (22)
- Six of these breeds produce 5 or less registered litters per year
- Twelve produced 10 or less registered litters per year
- Ten produced 20 or less registered puppies
- Thirty-four have 5 or less dogs being bred per year
- Forty -eight exhibit 50 or less dogs a year which is well below the threshold for LE
- Twenty- three exhibit 20 or less dogs a year which is well below the threshold for LE
- None would likely be given regular status if they requested recognition today
The characteristics noted about this group of 60 breeds need close attention because they are the breeds at greatest risk. At their current pace of decline many are not expected to have entries at any AKC conformation shows.
Summary
This report addresses some of the problems driving declining litters, dog registrations, show entries and their contributing factors. The three factors contributing most to these declines are low conversation rates, LE and LR.
Many of the problems identified in this report are not addressed such as: the greying effect, declining club membership, declining gene pool size and genetic diversity. They should be addressed separately.
Recommendations and Proposals.
Proposal # 1. Out Reach to the Stakeholders-Breed Clubs and Breeders
Finding new ways to attract new exhibits and breeders is a challenge for AKC. Given the significant differences between the 60 breeds at the bottom of the stud book and those in the top and middle groups cannot be ignored. Those classified as LE and those with high use of LR need attention and study. It seems reasonable to assume that at the very least the stakeholders for these breeds should be made aware of the consequences for doing nothing. Therefore, it is recommended that this data and information coupled with ideas and recommendations be offered to the officers, breeders and exhibitors of parent clubs, their regional affiliates and All-Breed clubs. For example, consideration might be given to the use of team meetings and webinars with parent clubs. Other efforts might be considered for those who purchase a LR pup such as offers of compelling reasons to register their pup.
Based on conversations with three parent clubs (Samoyed, Giant Schnauzer, German Shepherd Dog clubs) their officers are unaware of this data regarding their breed.
Thus, the first step in such an effort would be to share pertinent information and the consequences for doing nothing. Such an effort would be the first step in stabilizing the decline in show entries, breeders, exhibitors and breed size. An organized public relation, marketing and education effort is warranted.
Proposal # 2. National Sweepstakes
This proposal is aimed at increasing the number of registered litters, dog registrations and entries using three known elements that drive the sport and keep it alive. They are: titles, awards and recognitions. This proposal creates an AKC National Sweepstake and AKC National Maturity program for every breed.
Currently most novice breeders and exhibitors do not believe they can successfully compete and win against the professional handlers, experienced breeders and seasoned competitors. When costs and their lack of success are considered, many become frustrated and quit. Others just age out. An AKC National Sweepstakes would change this belief because it is not based on winning or defeating the professional handler, experienced breeder or seasoned exhibitor. Emphasis shifts to breeding and puppy placements at shows. The key features of the AKC National Sweepstake (S) are:
- All breeds are included by definition.
- Each year AKC designates several regional All-breed shows spread across the US (east, central, west)
- No championship points are awarded for class placements.
- Competition involves the 6-9 and 9-12 class at designated all-breed shows. Puppies that place 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th earn Sweepstake points toward the rank of their sire and dam in their breed. (See Table 7)
- Puppies entered in the 6-9 and 9-12 classes at these designated shows would be the eligible competitors.
- Sweepstakes points cumulate toward the ranking of sires, dams, breeders and owners in each breed.
- At the end of each year, AKC ranks and publishes the top 25 sires, dams, breeders and owners in each breed.
- The first place class winners from the 6-9 and 9-12 classes at the designated regional shows would be invited to Orlando to compete for the title, “AKC National Sweepstakes Winner” Breed Name.
- Puppies entered in the Sweepstakes would be eligible for the Maturity competition the occurs in the following year. The same point totals (Table 7) would be used and final competition would take place in Orlando for the maturity dogs. Maturity winners at Orlando would be called the AKC National Sweepstakes Maturity Winner Breed name.
The top 25 sires and dams with the highest point totals in each breed would be ranked and published by AKC along with their breeders and owners.
