| The Biewer Breed Club International, BBIC has developed it's own registry for Biewers here in North America. Under advisement from reputable breeders in Germany we feel it is important to start a registry here. As people who are born in any given country acquire their birth certificates in accordance with their native country, so it should be with the Biewers. This registry is available to the public and not only to the members of the BBCI. It is called “Biewer Breed International Registry”, BBIR. It is a private registry with no information shared without permission. This registry will by keep accurate information which has been supplied by current recognized German registries. From there we are developing our own database complete with pedigrees and litter registrations. This will be the beginning of the recognition of the Biewers in North America. Accurate record keeping is vital to responsible breeding. This is to ensure that all future generations are and will be kept pure, and also, the first step in having the Biewers accepted and acknowledged by various organizations that require that accurate data be kept. The pedigrees will be permanent and transferable to new or future owners. The pedigrees will show (4 or 5) generations of parentage. They will also include detailed information such as kennel name, breeding rights, etc. This will be detailed on the application forms. Each breeder has a right to specify their own details. Above all, the most important aspect of registering with the BBIR is that ONLY Biewer to Biewer breeding for litter registration is accepted. We are a safe and secure registry for everyone to trust. The future will hold many generations of Biewers. With this registry, we will be able to see the True Biewer develop into a beautiful and strong breed, while keeping the lines as diverse as we can. We will also continue to register our Biewers with our reputable registries in Germany. |

What you will receive with registration of your Biewer is an authentic BBIR (laminated for security
purposes) Registration Paper with our BBIR embossed seal. It will include the information that you
have submitted on your application. This will be issued for either a Foreign or Domestic dog.
For the litter registration, as a breeder, you will be supplied with a letter of registry and individual
forms for each dog for you to supply to the new owners, which then can be returned to us for
permanent registration as stated above. Pedigree's will either be 4 or 5 generations and will be full
sized and again, laminated for security purposes.
These will be documents that you can be proud of and will last indefinitely.

The BBCI is proud to offer our DNA Certification Profiling program. As of January 1, 2008, we have contracted with
MetaMorphix®, Inc. MMI Genomics Inc. laboratory for analysis services. The resulting registration with DNA
certification will offer integrity beyond question and add value to breeding programs. It is a requirement for BBIR
registration and is recorded in the BBIR stud book. It is required for imported breeding stock; dogs whose semen is
collected for fresh-extended, chilled or frozen use; and is required prior to breeding sires and dams. BBCI/BBIR has a
strict confidentiality policy regarding its database and DNA profiles.
What:
Each gene is present as two copies and are displayed as letters for the purpose of labeling each gene. Offspring receive
one copy of each gene from each parent in a random process. DNA sequences are also inherited one copy from each
parent.
This technology does not use actual genes, but tests the DNA sequences that are inherited one copy from each parent.
For this reason, your dog's DNA Profile does not provide any information about the conformation of the dog or the
presence/absence of genetic diseases, and cannot determine the breed of a dog
Why:
To ensure the integrity of the BBIR registry.
Guarantees continuity from one generation to the next
Eliminating concerns or questions about identification and parentage
BBIR Database and Parentage Verification - Comparison of the DNA profiles of a dam, sire, and pup(s) will determine,
with greater than 99% confidence, whether the pups are from the tested dam and sire. The BBIR database examines the
parentage of all BBIR DNA Profiled registered dogs and litters
When problems are discovered, the DNA staff works with breeders to determine correct parentage at the breeder's
expense.
Future breed recognition. UKC and AKC accept MMI DNA profiles into their stud books.
How:
Contact BBCI’s DNA representative, Carolyn Arnold, for a DNA Test Kit which includes a swab that the owner uses to
collect loose cells from inside the dog's cheek. Complete instructions will arrive with your kit.
You will receive Certificate of DNA Analysis with your dog’s information and a representation of the DNA Profile. Also,
your BBIR registration certificate will reflect that your dog has a DNA profile recorded in the stud book of the Biewer
Breed International Registry, and future pedigrees will reflect that a DNA Profile is on record for that sire or dam.
Cost:
BBCI was able to negotiate a small price break for our club. Your kit is priced at our cost plus a small amount for
postage. Nothing was added for the club and the Rep’s time is on a volunteer basis. The price will be renegotiated with
the company at the end of 6 months and will be dependant on volume. As of January 1, 2008 the kit price per dog is:
$50.00 + 1.00 postage/handling = $51.00 per dog.
