UKC will do provisional registration in the absence of papers . . . I know that for performance events AKC will actually do it too (although it's harder to get.)

My dog was not originally UKC registered, I had to send four photographs to the Registration Committee. I guess she looked enough like a Lab to suit them . . .

Thanks for the info! I may have to try that. Not that I plan to ever show/breed her, but it would be cool to be able to do it on her part (so to speak). She's only got three legs (due to an injury before I adopted her) and with that, plus her hard life of being dumped and rescued, it'd be nice to "put a feather in her cap".
