The American Dog Breeders Association (ADBA) is an organization dedicated to promoting and preserving purebred dogs, particularly those in the American Pit Bull Terrier and American Bully breeds. Founded in 1909, the ADBA focuses on responsible breeding practices, dog registration, and the organization of events such as conformation shows and weight pulls. The ADBA also emphasizes education for dog owners and breeders, providing resources on training, health, and breed standards. By fostering a community of dog enthusiasts, the ADBA aims to ensure the well-being of dogs and promote positive relationships between dogs and their owners.
