REGISTRATION RULES
PUP REGISTRATION FORM
STUD SERVICE CERTIFICATE
HEALTH CERTIFICATE
LITTER HEALTH FORM

As soon as your female has whelped please complete and send off INTENTION TO
REGISTER LITTER form so that the Registrar can pass on your details to enquirers and
confirm you are registering your litter with the ABS if asked.
(This is not compulsory, just a service to breeders)

 INTENTION TO REGISTER LITTER FORM

Given that the breeder has sent all details to the Registrar within a reasonable time-frame
(allowing about two weeks is usually fine), registration certificates should be available for the
buyer when they pick up their puppy or very shortly thereafter.

Breeders registering their litter with the Australian Bulldog Society Inc. need to be members of
the ABS Inc. and a membership application form can be sent to you on request should you
need one or you can download one from this web site.

If your bitch is definitely pregnant, feel free to contact the Registrar so that any enquirers for
pups can be directed to you.  Also feel free to let your State Representative know when you have
a litter coming, so likewise they can pass on your contact details.

ABS Members can, at no cost, place pup photos and their contact details on www.australianbulldogs.com.

AUSTRALIAN BULLDOG SOCIETY INCORPORATED ABS LITTER REGISTRATION POLICY

1. The ABS Inc will not register litters where the sire/dam have the following relationships:
   
   (a) father/daughter
   (b) mother/son
   (c) brother/sister
   (d) half brother/half sister
   (e) grandparent/grandchild.
   
   
2. The ABS Inc will not register litters where a direct parent (*see note below) is any other breed or where a direct parent* is a straight cross of other breeds (e.g American Bulldog/British Bulldog or Bullmastiff/British Bulldog etc).
   
   
3. No dog registered by another body born/whelped after
   
   30/4/10 will be allowed as a sire or dam of an ABS registered litter. However, owners of such dogs with common/known lines may be able to apply for ABS certification and thus acquire litter registration.
   
   *NOTE:  A ‘direct parent’ is father or mother (sire or dam) NOT grandparent or earlier ancestor.
   
   For the purposes of generational breeding and restricting the perpetuation of health problems, the ABS Inc wishes to phase out the breeding of 1st generation dogs, therefore FOR ABS INC REGISTRATION:
   
   
4. A dog BORN BEFORE 31/10/09 with a British Bulldog or other breed parent (mother/father) cannot be mated to another such dog.
   
   That is:
   
   Only one other breed(**see note below) is allowed to appear on the registration papers as grandparents of any litter. 
   Other breeds acceptable as great grandparents, great great grandparents and earlier etc.
   
   And furthermore:
   
   
5. A dog BORN AFTER 31/10/09 which has a British Bulldog or other breed** parent (mother/father) cannot be used for breeding purposes.
   
   **NOTE:  ‘Other breed’ means another breed of dog such as British Bulldog, Bullmastiff, American Bulldog etc.
