		MBDCA was founded in 1978 in the state of Washington to provide a competitive venue for dogs not recognized by purebred registries such as the American Kennel Club (AKC).
		For purebred dogs in the AKC, each breed has a clearly defined appearance standard, including such points as the length, thickness, and color of the coat; the dog's height and weight; the length of its back in proportion to its height; the shape of its ears and muzzle; and so on.
		For example, dogs must not be knock-kneed, have spinal problems, or have excessive overbite or underbite; their coats and skin must be healthy; and they must not be overweight or underweight for their build.

	Dog Owner's guide: Dog Clubs
		Dog breeding was a pursuit of well-to-do dog fanciers in AKC’s early years, a history that is reflected in prestigious all-breed shows such as the annual Westminster Kennel Club show at Madison Square Garden each February and a handful of other long-established shows throughout the country.
		While obedience clubs generally attract many pet owners through their good manners classes, kennel clubs seldom have members who are not interested in some aspect of dog showing or in advancing the wellbeing of purebred dogs.
		These clubs are likely to support the entry of their breed at a local all-breed show to boost numbers and thus provide more opportunities to finish championships.

		Conformation with purebreds is to determine, for the most part, if a dog is breedable quality, as well as how well bred to the standard that particular dog is. Not so with the Mix Breed Club, which requires that the dogs be neutered.
