Therefore friends, of what value is ADBA registration anyhow if it all comes down to the breeder's honesty? Acquire stock from a breeder who does not hang papers, don't hang papers yourself, and all will be well. 8-) No need to get DNA samples, buy registration papers, or trust some other entity with sensitive information about you, your residence, and your dogs.

Agreed.

However, to give credit where it's due, the real justification for a registration body is in the dog shows and in providing unity against the fight against APBT laws.

But as far as the 'paperwork' goes, the paperwork is only as good as the word of the man who's signing it

I agree, participation in conformation shows would be the only tangible advantage of registration.
