Want to know a little more about the course? Breeding is exciting and challenging. Part art, part science, and total devotion, AKC is here to support you on this amazing journey with courses covering a variety of topics such as canine anatomy, selection, pedigrees, genetics, and health testing.

The Dog Breeding Fundamentals program takes a practical, step-by-step, self-paced approach for dog breeders in a comprehensive program with the "need to know" information. After completing each topic-focused module, you will receive a digital badge, points toward the course leaderboard, and a printable certificate of exam completion. Breeders can also earn CEUs towards their Bred with H.E.A.R.T. or Breeder of Merit credentials.

In our dedicated discussion forums, you can connect with other breeders, ask and answer questions on specific topics, share your experiences, and learn from others. Additional resources from Royal Canin, AKC Breeder Toolkit, and AKC Government Relations are provided to guide you on your breeding journey, and our Watch & Learn section contains an ever-growing library of Breeder Advice and Legacy Breeder videos that will help encourage and enlighten you on achieving great success within your breeding program.
