Interesting post, but I'm confused. I've read that the IBC only recognizes dogs whose parents are registered with them so how could a parti owner, who registry I would assume to be AKC, do this? Here's something I came across about this (though from a breeder's site so not sure of the accuracy of it)...
"Q. Will my Biewer be registered when I purchase him?
A. If your Biewer was imported from Germany, he must already be registered by his breeder in one of the various German clubs. One German Club is not better than the other and all of the German Clubs recognize each other's registrations and pedigrees. If you have not been shown the dog's registration and pedigree prior to purchasing him, beware.
If your Biewer was purchased from an American breeder, he should also already be registered by his breeder. There are a few American Clubs that have begun their own registries to track the Biewer breeding in this country. A parent club with acurate pedigree records is part of the AKC requirement for breed recognition. Once again, if you have not seen the registration and pedigree for a dog before purchase, beware. Q. What American registry is best?
A. In the United States there are very good Biewer Club registries that recognize each other's registrations. They are the Biewer Breed International Registry BBIR and the Biewer National Registry BNR . American registries and parent clubs are required by the AKC for future recognition of the Biewer.
There is only one registry, the IBC, that does not recognize other registries of American born Biewer puppies, regardless whether these puppies' parents have German or American registries or both. Beware. The IBC claims that if your dog is not IBC registered, the dog is devalued. This is not true. It also claims to be the only ligitimate registry and claims to be the largest and the premier club in Germany. These claims are false and are perceived to be an attempt to scare breeders and buyers into joining the IBC and to prevent buyers from purchasing dogs under other registries. Do not be fooled by this marketing strategy. Note, the DHZ e.V. is the same organization as the IBC and is run by the same individual. Look around at your options, investigate, and make your own decision on what is the best fit for you. "....Here's the link these quotes came from...
