ADBA Registration Policy on dogs containing the merle color pattern:

The American Dog Breeders Association Inc. is committed to the betterment of the breed and the promotion of the positive aspects of the American Pit Bull Terrier. Because this is our pledge to the owners and breeders of ADBA registered American Pit Bull Terriers, we have no recourse but to close registration privileges to American Pit Bull Terriers identified as having the merle color pattern. As of February 21, 2005 no single registrations will be accepted on dogs having the merle color pattern. Registration of merle pups born to ADBA registered dogs will no longer be accepted after the breeding date of February 21, 2005. The registration status of merle dogs already in the stud book, will not be affected. Litter registration of non affected pups from registered stock containing the merle color pattern can continue to be registered , as the merle allele being dominant will always be expressed and can be easily identified. It is our recommendation that all merle pups born, should be spayed /or neutered and placed in pet homes only.
