American Pit Bull Terrier Breed Registries

Registration is important for any purebred dog as a means to track the validity of the purebred status. With the American Pit Bull Terrier this is increasingly more important. Many people have the idea in their head of a huge dog with a neck and head that are even bigger than seem possible, when they imagine the APBT. However, that is not the APBT. The purebred APBT is registered by the ADBA and UKC. This is not to say that there aren't any 100 pound mixed pits registered with them. People can and will lie about the lineage of dogs when they mix with mastiffs or other breeds to achieve a certain look. However, these dogs do not place in conformation shows, because thier appearance does not succumb to the standard which has been set fourth by the registry.

That being said, the ABKC is where people with these bully looking "APBT"s show their dogs. They claim they are purebred, but if they were they could place in an ADBA or UKC show, since they can't they go to a different registry for this. Beware of these breeders. Unless what you want is a Mastiff mix, they are not the breeders to get your APBT from.

There are other smaller registries, each with their own reason for being created, please go to the links below to see some of them and their misson statements. Click on the page titles to go to their website.

ACTION ALERT! SAVE THE DOGS OF WHITEHALL!

ACTION ALERT! SAVE THE DOGS OF WHITEHALL!

Whitehall, Ohio is proposing a ban of all pit bull type dogs (this could affect boxers, labs, pointers and countless other breeds and mixes) within the city limits. If the dog has short hair, and is medium size or larger, it's pretty much fair game. There is a grandfather clause but it places excessive restrictions on pit bull type dogs. This ban, if passed will send 100¡¯s of great, family dogs to their death.





How you can help
We need your help to stop this in its tracks! If you live or work in Whitehall please plan on attending the next council meeting. Each person will have two opportunities to speak for three minutes in opposition to the proposed ban.



It¡¯s simple! All you have to do is state your name and say ¡°I oppose the proposed ban¡±
