Does the AKC have a health test register?
I'm trying to find out if the AKC have a health test register like the UK KC do, because I have some imports on my dog's pedigree and I am trying to find out health tests for her lines.
It's not a AKC pedigre it's a KC pedigree for the UK, it has '(imp US)' on one of her lines, I shall have to see if I can get in contact with the kennel so I can find out health tests for those dogs.
I do not have their AKC numbers only their AKC names as that is all it shows on her pedigree.

No, but a number of AKC- affiliated breed clubs keep health registers. You might try contacting them instead.

Not really, but if you have an AKC pedigree certificate, it will show the Hip and Elbow results of OFA testing. You can also go to the OFA Database. AKC really doesn't give a crap about health. They are a record keeping organization of purebred dogs.
Add: I'm sorry I read it wrong. Oregano is correct. For an example, my breed of choice is the Doberman, and any health tests and results are put on a website called Dobequest, if the owner or breeder chooses to. (it's not automatically put there, because they have to collect the data from someone, who would either be the breeder or owner.)

No, the AKC does not do health testing. It's up to the breeder to do any genetic testing and up to the potential buyer to research whether or not a dog has been CERF'd or OFA'd
