Transfer Ownership
Transferring the ownership of your 
ADBA Registered dog into your name is a very important part of the registration process. Once the dog is registered under your name you will be able to:
- Show proof of ownership if dog is lost or needs to be recovered.
- Compete in ADBA Dog Shows, Weight Pulls and Top Dog Athletic Events.
- Register any litter off the dog if the other parent is ADBA registered.
- Reproduce lost paperwork without needing a signature from the breeder.
- Order the pedigree or pedigree analysis needed for breeding purposes.

- Check off the desired services. You will need at least the Transfer of Ownership (includes 4 Generation Pedigree)for $25.00.
