ADBA used to be the best for bulldogs. I think that over the years that they got greedy and started to register a lot of other dogs (just like the UKC did). I don't register my dogs but I do have dogs that are registered and can trace the dogs back in my dogs' background at least 6 generations (if not more). If you like registered dogs, that is your thing. Do it through true doggers that have registries (Most Hated is one that comes to mind). I know him personally.
