Yes, as far as US shows go, the ADBA requires your dogs to be ADBA-registered.

They put up all the money for the shows, and they expect to get it back because every dog has to be registered with their registry, which is understandable.

I suppose a team of bulldoggers could pool their money, vote on who's a judge, and arrange a get together with a team effort ... without any sanctioning body at all.
