American PitBull Registry is everything PitBull

Welcome to the American PitBull Registry ( APBR ). If you are looking for a registry to represent you as a PitBull owner you have come to the right place. The APBR is the largest PitBull specific registry in the world and registers PitBulls internationally. In addition to registration services we are the largest information provider on the world wide web in regards to the American PitBull Terrier ( APBT ) dog breed and offers registration services unparalleled in the entire registration industry.

Although the primary focus of the American PitBull Registry ( APBR ) is to register pure bred PitBulls, our services do not stop there. The APBR is a comprehensive resource for the PitBull dog breed, owners, rescues, shelters and those wishing to learn more about the breed. The American PitBull Registry ( APBR ) is the largest repository of information on PitBulls and is considered to be the number one resource and clearinghouse on the Internet with thousands of pages of general and member exclusive content.

This site is designed to help you learn more about PitBulls and provide insight to understanding the heritage and importance of the breed. This site will also help you learn ways to help the American PitBull Terrier ( APBT ) breed overcome any negative stigma and bias some have of the breed , reduce the number of unnecessary euthanaisas in pounds and shelters, and help you understand how to improve the value and pride in ownership for the American PitBull Terrier ( APBT ) as a whole.

The American PitBull Registry ( APBR ) works closely with its members in developing a positive level of support and rapport both in their communities and around the world. The APBR works to positively promote the PitBull dog breed and takes an active role in increasing its monetary and intrinsic value and level of respect within the community.

The APBR maintains the highest level of ethics in the entire registration industry regarding breeding practices. The APBR provides Kennel Certification as a FREE benefit to its breeding members only after they have agreed to adhere to our high quality standards and Code of Ethics. Because ethics and positive promotion is our number one priority we are the only registry that provides Kennel Certification as a FREE benefit to our breeding members. If you are looking for a PitBull and wish for greater assurance that this Pit will be physically healthy and mentally stable throughout its life it is the APBR Certified Kennels that we most highly recommend.

We hope you enjoy this site and the services the American PitBull Registry ( APBR ) offers and find them to be of great value. If you are a pure bred PitBull owner we would love to have you as a member working with us in promoting the positives of this most wonderful dog breed and in its responsible ownership. Qualification is easy. All you need to do to become a member is fill out, sign and mail in the proper Registration form attesting to the purity of your PitBull and submit this with a front and side picture along with the proper membership dues. PitBull Registration can even be expedited using our online registration process.

For those individuals who have pups on the way we offer an additional program where both the sire and dam can be registered with the litter simultaneously and at a discount. The standard registration process for individual PitBulls is 6-8 weeks. When litters or registrations included with litters are enrolled these receive a priority and are processed in 2-4 weeks typically, due to the more time sensitive nature in which registration transfer papers are needed for those receiving a new PitBull puppy. In order to register a litter we require that at least one of the parents already be APBR registered or is concurrently in the registration process with the APBR and that both parents are attested to be pure-bred PitBulls.

The American PitBull Registry ( APBR ) is happy to dual/multi register PitBulls from other registries as well. Such registration does help guarantee acceptance but is still subject to review and still requires all necessary material listed above. Registration with another registry is not required, nor is parental registration when an individual PitBull is being registered with us as we are happy to bring currently unregistered PitBulls back into the registration and tracking process. We feel wide spread recognition of all PitBulls is essential to improving the value and respect of the breed as a whole.

The navigation section (left) will help you find many valuable links to areas within this site such as the PitBull registration options, PitBull Classifieds, PitBull history, conformation, Pit-friendly adoption organizations, foster care, local rescues, Breed Specific Legislation ( BSL ), and American PitBull Terrier ( APBT ) clubs. Here you can also find valuable tips for responsible ownership, get updates on current laws that affect PitBulls and their ownership, and discover many other services PitBulls provide in our communities (such as service, rescue and therapy work), and much much more.

At the American PitBull Registry ( APBR ) we have gone out of our way to bring information about Pit-friendly organizations to the world wide community. The APBR has also taken on the role of assisting in the development of rescues in order to protect and preserve this wonderful breed. The APBR is the only registry that actively works with the PitBull rescue community in developing proactive programs and services catered to the PitBull dog breed and their owners and potential owners.

The sad fact is that most shelters, pounds and other animal welfare organizations who take in pets will not even give the PitBull a chance. Because of this we feel it is imperative to educate the public on choosing the right shelters and rescues to take their PitBulls to when this is the only alternative they have. Because of the overcrowded nature of many of these facilities, and policies which disallow PitBull adoptions at non-PitBull friendly shelters and pounds, we work with individuals in exhausting every possible alternative before they make such a decision if it comes to a point of needing to re-home their PitBull.

Need to find a new home for your PitBull? We can help find your beloved PitBull friend a happy and loving new home with our PitBull re-homing service; keeping them out of local shelter agencies where overcrowding and anti-PitBull policies force such organizations to often euthanize PitBulls that come into their care.

If your PitBull has recently passed away we also have a Member Gallery and APBR PitBull Classifieds where our members can submit their PitBull's pictures and a short story free of charge as a lasting tribute in remembrance to him/her.

Don't forget! Check out our huge PitBull picture gallery, which contains tons of great PitBull pictures, including those cuddly and adorable PitBull puppies no person can resist. We also maintain a merchandise, products, supplies and services section and a word search puzzle page where you can print off a find a word type word puzzle to even hand copies out through community events in order to educate others.
