Joseph Schoepp Webboard User Reg: 08-10-2003 Posts: 26 Loc: Florida Offline	I was just looking at some pedigrees and noticed that my mothers gsd had a AKC number that is DN######### and my gsd is DL#########. I searched google but couldn't find if this DN or DL means anything. If anyone knows I would appreciate them sharing. Thanks!

Melissa Thom Webboard User Reg: 12-04-2007 Posts: 2781 Loc: Upper Left hand corner, USA Offline	As I understand it it's a letter series that identifies breed, followed by the litter number for the breed, followed by the individual number followed by the number in the litter. My papillons are TR#########/##. I'm not sure why the letters would change. You might email or call akc for that answer.

Ingrid Rosenquist Webboard User Reg: 03-01-2005 Posts: 1132 Loc: Offline	DN is the new DL ;-) Once there are so many registrations I believe the AKC changes one of the letters. I have ACDs and somewhere between 2002 and 2007 they changed it from DL to DN as my youngest is a DN #. http://www.psychtkennel.com

Joseph Schoepp Webboard User Reg: 08-10-2003 Posts: 26 Loc: Florida Offline	Thanks everyone for the responses. I got the official word from the AKC and it is exactly what Ingrid and Melissa said. The D is the for the group of dog, in this case Herding. The second letter was L, but they ran out of numbers and are now using N. Thanks again for your help!
