Registries

There are only 2 LEGITIMATE registries for the Dogue de Bordeaux.

FCI- FCI is international (this is NOT FIC)

AKC-- All dogues in the AKC-FSS database with proper 3 generations behind have been moved to full AKC status as of July 1, 2008

If a dogue does not have a registration from either AKC (not AKC-FSS, regular AKC as the breed is now accepted into the Working Group!) or FCI, I would not even consider buying it as you may have no idea what you are getting. Dogues left in the AKC-FSS database are NOT eligible to show as they did not/do not have proper 3 generations behind them. 

For more information, visit DDBS

Formerly AKC-FSS accepted registries up until July 1, 2008

USBC- This is the oldest club registry, no longer registering dogues, complete database was turned over to AKC.

UKC- United Kennel Clubs registry- no longer accepted as a main registration for AKC

The AKC no longer accepts UKC pedigrees to register dogs for full AKC privileges as of 7/1/08

The following registries are not recognized by the AKC or the DDBS. Use of these registries is not recommended in ANY capacity. The DDBS advises against purchasing Dogue de Bordeaux puppies or adults, or contracting with Studs who are registered with any of these registries. The AKC will not accept any of these registration bodies into the AKC or AKC-FSS. The DDBS has been advising owners and breeders of the pending acceptance into AKC for many years and stressing the transfer of registration to AKC.
