If your female is not UKC registered, I would pay the $25 and have that male registered PKC and then register the pups PKC.
You said the female was PKC so I assume she doesn't have UKC papers.
Cause you ain't gonna get no papers for the pup from either one unless both the male and female have matching Kennel Club papers.
PKC x UKC - No Papers
PKC x PKC - Papers
UKC x UKC - Papers
You can single register the pups without the male being PKC registered but the papers will be marked Cross-bred.
Register the male PKC so you can register the pups with PKC
