Registries
There are only a few LEGITIMATE registries for the Dogue de Bordeaux.
FCI- FCI is International, Europe and South America (this is NOT FIC)
The Kennel Club (the KC), England
The ANKC (Australian National Kennel Club)
The Canine Federation of Canada holds the DDB studbook in Canada, The Canadian Kennel Club is the show organization in Canada for the DDB.
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 (or it’s birth country’s national kennel club), you may want to continue looking as you have no idea what you are getting as legitimate breeders would never register their dogs with bogus registries.

Formerly AKC-FSS accepted registries up until July 1, 2008
USBC- This is the oldest breed 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 any other legitimate registry any where in the world. Use of these registries is not recommended in ANY capacity. We strongly 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. Most of the below “registries” are what those in Rescue call “puppy mill” registries as there is no integrity to their “stud books” and some allow mix breeds to be “registered”.
