  • 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.
