Rottle Papers — How to Get Official Registration Documents
Get Official Papers for Your RottleWhat Are Rottle Papers?
Rottle papers record the breed, ancestry and ownership of your dog. The Rottle is a cross between a Rottweiler and a Poodle, bred for a large, sturdy companion with a curly or wavy coat and a calm, watchful temperament. Adults usually weigh 50 to 85 pounds, with coats in black-and-tan, black, brown, sable or parti patterns. Rottles tend to be confident and loyal, and they need consistent training and daily exercise to stay settled. Owners look for papers because the cross is sold without registration, and a written record of the blend and the owner is hard to obtain.
Can You Get Papers for a Rottle Without AKC Registration?
The AKC does not recognize the Rottle as a purebred breed, but Designer Kennel Club registers it as a purebred designer dog. A Rottweiler and Poodle cross has no route into a traditional stud book, so an owner with only a handshake has nothing official to show and no way to create a record later. Designer Kennel Club (DKC) Foundation Dog Registration creates that record, capturing the type and your ownership and issuing an official certificate without requiring AKC lineage or a breeder filing. Puppies, adults and rehomed dogs all use the same application. A puppy bought from a breeder and one rehomed as an adult follow the same steps, and the certificate is issued to the applicant rather than to the breeder.

What Rottle Papers Look Like
A DKC Rottle certificate includes the registered name you choose, the breed, the dog's date of birth, your name as owner, a unique registration number and the official DKC seal. It arrives as a PDF by email within 2–3 business days. Use it for vet records, grooming and boarding check-ins, and housing documentation. The document records breed and ownership only, and it follows the dog and the applicant rather than the breeder. It does not guarantee DNA.
