The AKC recognizes many kennel clubs around the world. Brazil is one of them..so you can buy a dog from Brazil and have no problems re-registering it with the AKC. If the FCI bans all crop/dock it will not effect us in this country..but if anyone was showing abroad I am sure they would need to abide by the FCI ruling...unless the dog was crop/docked before the ban established..much like a grandfather clause.

As I am told the difference in Biewers and Parti's is mostly the registeration. You can register a Parti with AKC, but not a Biewer..you can not register a Parti in German as a Biewer. I have a friend with two males..one of each registration...I can not notice any difference in temperment or coloring. The reason I prefer the Biewer is, when you breed a Biewer to a Biewer you only get the pb gene..so all pups are Biewers...but an AKC Parti color can produce standard colors as well as a parti in the same litter. I perfer not to mess with the Biewer lines and IF I do breed my bitch I would like to breed to the Biewer stud to keep the colors correct..you can show Biewers in America..not AKC shows, but Biewer shows..you can not show AKC parti's at all.
