The American Bully Kennel Club (ABKC) is a registry of dog pedigrees in the United States. The ABKC was founded in 2009 by David Wilson. The organization is based in Virginia Beach, Virginia. The ABKC registers American Bullies and provides pedigree services for breeders and owners.
An ABKC registration number is a nine-digit number that identifies a specific dog registered with the ABKC. This number is assigned to each dog at the time of registration and appears on the dog's pedigree certificate. The first two digits of the registration number indicate the year in which the dog was born, followed by a three-letter code that indicates the breeder's initials. The last four digits are assigned sequentially and uniquely identify each individual dog within the litter.
For example, if an American Bully named Buddy was born in 2016 and his breeder's initials are ABC, his ABKC registration number would be 2016 ABC0001.
