Common Questions
How Do I register my OEB?
If you have puppy papers you fill in
the form & mail it along with payment to the address
listed on the form. If you have an adult that is
currently registered with another registry you fill out
a single dog registration application, include copies of
your current registration and pedigree and mail it to
the address listed on the single dog registration
application. If you have a litter that you wish to
register with the NBA you may use our
online litter
registration (only if both parents are NBA registered)
or you may mail in a litter registration application. If
either parent is not registered through the NBA, you
will need to
contact the NBA to discuss your options.
What does the term "foundation"
mean?
Foundation is a term used to describe
dogs that are used to originate a line or breed of dog
that may be comprised of various crosses of outside
breeds. A foundational dog is not a purebred, but is a
dog used as the foundation in creating a purebred line
or breed of dogs. All breeds originate from foundation
stock and the NBA records all foundation and
generational statuses to ensure accurate information for
its clients.
We often receive questions about the
procedure for recording foundation breedings. As a
result, we have comprised various pedigree examples to
illustrate the method inwhich such foundation breedings
are recorded. Visit the links below to view the
examples.

Why is my dog's sex listed as "DOG"
on my NBA papers?
The proper terminology for dogs in
regards to their sex is to refer to males as dogs and
females as bitches. This is correct and proper
terminology and we use this terminology to record the
sex of each dog in our system.
Can OEBs Swim?
Yes they can and most of them find it
very enjoyable
Are OEBs Easy To Train?
OEBs are very intelligent and are
generally very eager to please. They learn quickly and
respond best to positive reinforcement.
What Is The Difference Between The
OEB & The EB?
The OEB is a healthier and more
athletic dog. They are free breeding, free whelping and
are capable of athletic activity. The OEB is built to
function and is capable of running, swimming and taking
long walks. The OEB is a recreation of the 18th century
bulldog once used in the sport of bull-baiting. As
bull-baiting was banned, show fanciers bred the Old
Bulldog down to create a particular look for the show
ring, thus creating the modern AKC Bulldog. The health
of the AKC Bulldog reflects the focus on looks and
the negligence of function. The Olde English Bulldogge was
bred for health and function.
