						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.
