The Mixed Breed Dog Clubs of America (MBDCA) is a registry for mixed-breed dogs in the United States.[1][2][3]

The Mixed Breed Dog Clubs of America was founded in 1978 and began holding shows in the same year.[3] The Mixed Breed Dog Clubs of America conducts a number of competitions, including conformation shows, obedience trials, lure coursing, tracking and other events.[1] The club's conformation shows are judged against general soundness of type and temperament as opposed to a breed standard and prior to competing in any competitions a dog must be spayed or neutered and have successfully completed the club's obedience trials.[1][2]
