I believe that's how all registries start. Someone decides to do it. (Usually a breed club) A registry is to keep track of the lines that are being bred. It's just keeping records. The Yorkies came from England. There was a breed club that started in the USA that began a registry for yorkies. Now we have the YTCA. What if everyone said we could only have our Yorkies registered in England? Why is it such a bad idea for the Biewer clubs in America to want to keep records of their lines? Actually the FIRST registry for the Biewers in Germany was the ACH. I'm not trying to tell anyone NOT to go with the IBC registry... I also have a dog registered through them. But, as your post indicates, you also didn't have the correct information. I'm only stating there is more out there then one German club to register the Biewers with. I agree with Bama from a previous post... research, research, research -- and then do more research. You will be surprised at what you can learn!
