BTRA, the Biewer Terrier Registry of America, is the registry that registers the purebred Biewer Terrier. The genetic marker is now in place on the MARS Wisdom Panel website. Via a professional blood draw they can now determine if it is a purebred Biewer Terrier.
The Biewer Terrier has been accepted by the KUSA, Kennel Union South Africa, which is equivalent to the AKC here in the USA. They are under contract with AKC and are under FCI.
Many of the BTCA members are now displaying the results on their websites of the genetic testing for purity of the Biewer Terrier.
IBC is the International Biewer Club that allows the Biewers to be bred back into the AKC Yorkshire Terrier and will give you IBC registration once you register your AKC Yorkshire Terrier with them per Dagmar, President of the IBC.
BBIR also accepts IBC registrations to register with them. The BTRA will not accept IBC registrations unless they are tested with the Wisdom Panel and come back purebred Biewer Terriers.
