The American Dog Breeders Association (ADBA) is an all-breed dog registry founded in 1909 by Guy McCord and Con Feeley. The registry is headquartered in Salt Lake City, UT in the U.S., but has multiple affiliate clubs located around the world.[1] The registry began by promoting the John Colby strain of pit bull types.[2] Over time, the focus changed to the registration and promotion of purebred American Pit Bull Terriers, a breed that few other breed registries have recognized because of its ancestral origins as a fighting dog in England and Ireland.[3][4][5] The first official breed registry to recognize American Pit Bull Terriers was the United Kennel Club (UKC) in 1898 when it registered its first dog, "Bennett’s Ring", owned by UKC founder C. Z. Bennett.[6] ADBA sponsors various conformation dog shows, weight pulling competitions,[7][8] and Top Dog Athletic Events consisting of three canine competitions: treadmill race, wall climb and lure coursing.[9] In 1976, ADBA began publishing a quarterly magazine titled The American Pit Bull Terrier Gazette.
