Can any dog be registered with the MBDCA?
No. Only mixed-breed dogs and purebred dogs ineligible to compete in national registries such as the American Kennel Club (AKC), the United Kennel Club (UKC), or the Australian Shepherd Club of America (ASCA) can join. The MBDCA will also register dogs (mixed-breed or purebred) that are handicapped, but their owners must provide a veterinarian’s certificate stating that the dog is capable of doing the work. All dogs (mixed-breed and purebred) registered with the MBDCA must be spayed, neutered, or otherwise made sterile.
