To the OP...I would recommend you do your homework on the breed if you are considering adding a Biewer in the future. As you can tell, the Biewer world is full of drama at the current moment, so it may be wise to research
away from these boards as well, sadly, to find an unbiased and influenced answer.
I hope I can say and it can be agreed on that there are several registries here in the US at the current moment--all of whom claim to be keeping very in depth records in an attempt to have the breed recognized by the AKC, and/or to help promote the breed, which is still fairly new and low in numbers. Some place more emphasis and importance on future AKC recognition, some place more on continuing the registration in Germany and everyone believes that the club/registry/board/whatever that THEY belong to is in the right. I will remain optomistic that the passion felt by all sides will be beneficial in the end in helping this breed along.
In the end, you will have to decide what it is that YOU are looking for and feel comfortable with. Make sure that any breeders you consider can trace their lines and provide proof that the dogs are what they claim to be. As long as they can do that, provide proof that the dogs are healthy and disease free, it doesn't make a hill of beans worth of difference (IMO) who's piece of paper it is written on.
Good luck! You are bound to need it!
