Actually you will be able to join ( I know your Biewer and it comes from a creditable registry)... But as we finish all the lose ends on forming the club we all need to come together and agree how we want this breed to be represented. Setting the right foundation now will mean success later...
But we need a GOOD REPUTABLE CLUB in America, as there isn't any at this point the represents this breed properly.
This club will follow suit to the two Clubs in Germany and what they are following for the Biewer Breed. The International (IBC) and German Biewer Yorkshire Terrier Clubs. These two Clubs are using the same standards so that must account for something. As I stated before we are trying to contact Mrs. Biewer and see if she will give us some additional information to follow.
Please feel free to contact me regarding this club as there will be positions on the board that will need to be filled as well. These people are going to have to have the time to devote to this Club and have the passion in promoting the breed...
This club will not be based on personal opinions but on what is documented proof. We will be following the guidelines of forming a club through AKC's direction of forming a club.
Someday the Biewer breed will be excepted in AKC and since each breed standard is set by the Clubs representing them we want this CLUB to be the ones to set the standard...(following Mr. Biewer) So we can stay true to the breed. If us reputable breeders don't do this we will have others to follow that MAY NOT be as knowledgeable of the breed, then what... The time is now... Even if it takes 10 years for AKC to reconize them.
Though meeting and showing with the IABCA the AKC judges are asking us to petition for the Biewer Breed, they would like to see them with AKC show ring in the toy group. But first things first a GOOD CLUB!!!
