I have been given full registration of him.
His breeder uses IBC.
We arent overly concerned with breeding at this point. He is still a baby! I was just curious on the other registries here  |
Since this is a new breed/variance it is very important that you do your homework on your little one. These dogs do not have that much history and there has been a great deal of inbreeding going on so it is extremely important you study pedigree's. At this stage of the game it is not just about how your dog looks at maturity but watching for health concerns and confirmation. A large majority of the Biewers in the USA are IBC registeried but the 3 main clubs have started their own registries so the American Biewers can be followed here in the US. AKC recommends this approach.
My recommendation to you would be to join a Biewer forum/group, study pedigree's, study health concerns with the Biewers and get into the show ring before you even consider breeding your boy.
These are beautiful and exciting dogs but it is just the beginning of these dogs and you cannot make the same decisions you would a Yorkie if you are going to be a reputable breeder. Have fun and enjoy all the wonderful learning you are going to have to do with your beautiful Biewer.
