A certified pedigree and proper registration aren’t just paperwork — they’re your assurance that your Goldendoodle puppy comes from transparent, intentional, and ethically guided breeding. These documents verify lineage and confirm parentage and breed. Registration creates a traceable record that supports responsible breeding practices and preserves the integrity of the breed’s development. For families, it offers confidence. For breeders, it reflects professionalism. For the puppy, it’s the foundation of a healthy, well‑documented start to life.

There are several reputable Goldendoodle and Designer Breed registries:  America's Pet Registry, the International Canine Association, and the Continental Kennel Club are a few.  

The Poodles at Cotton & Gray are each dual registered with AKC and APR. The Goldendoodles at Cotton & Gray are registered with ICA.  Each Puppy born to Cotton & Gray comes with a certified Pedigree and an application for registration.
