This program has been set up for owners of purebred ‘unregisterable’ American Pit Bull Terriers, that are spayed or neutered. This program will allow dogs with LPP status to enter fun classes at all ADBSI sanctioned shows. This includes junior handler classes and fun classes such as judges choice, best brindle, best red/red nose, best blue or any other fun classes held by a club at an ADBSI sanctioned show. A dog with LPP status is verified as a purebred American Pit Bull Terrier as is reasonably possible using visual inspection.
The Limited Performance Program gives purebred but unregisterable American Pit Bull Terriers a ‘second chance’ to compete along side their owner in fun events at ASBSI sanctioned shows. There are various reasons why a purebred APBT might not be eligible for registration with the American Dog Breeders Association Inc. This might include, the dog is a member of an unregistered litter, where one parents or both parents were not registered. A registered pup might have been sold for less money to a pet owner with registration papers retained by the breeder. Sometimes paperwork has been lost, and the original breeder is unable to be contacted to verify parentage for any number of reasons. Some dogs have been adopted from animal control shelters, the SPCA or various rescue groups, spayed and neutered and placed into homes with responsible owners. If this sound like your dog, then this Limited Performance Program is for you.
Once your dog has been accepted for LPP status an identification card will be issued showing a photo of your dog, a LPP number and ownership information. This identification card will allow participation and fun events at ADBSI sanctioned shows, as well as identification and proof of ownership for your dog.
The fraternity of American Pit Bull Terrier owners and ADBA Sanctioned clubs welcomes responsible owners of LPP status dogs at ADBA Sanctioned shows to participate and become involved.
