All Breed Canine Registry
Founded in 1996

The International Progressive Dog Breeders' Alliance ®, (IPDBA) founded in 1996, is the first registry of its kind, uniting Master breeders and enthusiasts around the world of all breeds of canines in one unique registry.

The founders of IPDBA believe that the breeding of all animals is an art form, and as such, like-minded breeders should have the freedom to express themselves and their vision for their breed in not only their breeding programs, but all the dogs within their breed throughout the registry.

The founders of IPDBA were Master canine breeders of their breeds who realized that no matter how good their personal breeding program was or how much they improve their dogs in their kennel over many years, it had very little influence to the improvement of the breed as a whole. In fact, most breeds as a whole today are declining in the other registries whose sole purpose is to keep a pedigree database and stud book. The founders realized the only way to improve an entire breed was to get all the breeders within a registry to breed their dogs under the same strict standards and requirements.

Since each breed may have different faults or things that need improvement that are unique to themselves, each breed would need to have unique registration requirements to improve their breed as a whole. Since the breeders of each breed know their breed better than the officers of any dog registry, IPDBA gives full control to the Chartered Breed Association of each breed to develop their breed's unique registration requirements, and the IPDBA Registrar strictly enforces those unique requirements and improving each breed.

Example #1: If a breed suffers from genetic faults, all dogs would be required to be certified free from the fault before they could be used for breeding. With the use of genetic coding, the future looks bright for IPDBA breeds to enable them to completely eradicate all genetic faults in their breeds.

Example #2: If a hunting or working breed suffers from years of breeding non-hunting or non-working dogs, they would be required to be certified as hunting or working dogs before being used for breeding. A tree dog breed would be required to certify as a tree dog. Bird dog breeds would be required to be gun dog certified. Search and Rescue breeds would be required to be Certified for Search & Rescue to be permanently registered and used for breeding. This is already being done in many IPDBA-registered breeds, improving customer satisfaction five times over what the same breeds are producing in other registries today.

Example #3: If a breed suffers from unethical breeders switching papers and pedigrees on their dogs, all pups would need to be permanently identified with marked diagrams, photos, tattoos, microchips, or even DNA, etc.. Also, all known breeders and their dogs who have false papers in other registries can be permanently banned from registration in IPDBA, eliminating those false pedigrees in the whole breed within IPDBA.

Example #4: If a breed is known to have one or more inherited genetic disorders carried in certain dogs or bloodlines within the breed, the breed charter or IPDBA can ban any dogs that are known to have that bloodline or dog in its pedigree. This has been done in many IPDBA breeds today, completely eliminating inherited genetic disorders still commonly found in the same breeds in other registries.

Since its founding, IPDBA has attracted some of the best canine breeders around the world for their respective breeds and has quickly established a reputation of having the highest, superior quality dogs within its registry. "Quality over Quantity" is the IPDBA motto.

Within the first twenty years, IPDBA policies have attracted the very best, most knowledgeable breeders from around the world who have used the policies developed by their breed charters and enforced by the IPDBA Registrar to develop breeds that are 100% free from all known inherited genetic disorders. IPDBA is also home to unique superior bloodlines not found anywhere else in the world! Basically, the founders' dream has come true. You cannot get better quality or genetically sound dogs or pups than out of IPDBA-registered dogs!

IPDBA was developed to:

Give creative freedom to canine breeders to preserve and improve their entire, unique breed without interference from the registry.

Establish an all-breed registry for breed charters to set up their own unique registration requirements to remove genetic disorders, to improve and preserve their breed, and adjust those requirements as needed to save our canine breeds from years of poor selection and poor standards.

Create a strong international alliance among the best canine breeders and canine enthusiasts from around the world.

Unite breeders of all breeds of canines in one unique, powerful organization, in which all breeders work together to protect all our canine breeds and their hobby from restrictive legislation.

The IPDBA currently recognizes more than 550 established breeds of dogs, making it the largest all-breed registry in the world.
