Does anyone know : If a stallion is approved for breeding by GOV OLD, is he also approved for breeding ISR OLD?
I know with the KWPN and KWPN-NA it works that way, but don’t know about the two OLD registries.
Thanks for your help…
I am sure others will expand but the short answer is no, completely separate registries here in the US. I believe there is reciprocity between GOV here in the US and the Oldenburg Verband in Germany, but I am sure someone will correct me if I misspeak.
ISR Oldenburg is a North American registry, and has its own rules for stallion approval. There is no affiliation whatsoever between the two registries, so contact ISR Old. to find out if the stallion is acceptable to them.
GOV is directly linked to the German Verband.
ISR/NA is completely unrelated, as others have said.
The GOV is the German Oldenburg Verband. ISR is a North American registry (like the American Warmblood). The only relation that GOV and ISR have is that the ISR ahem “borrowed” the name and brand of a German warmblood when they decided to form their registry. They have nothing to do with one another, but I think that it is safe to say that if a stallion is approved by GOV, he would probably not be turned down by ISR/NA! But it would be up to the individual stallion owner, as they would still have to go through the approval process.
^^^^ This made me giggle because I was trying to think of the politically correct way to explain the two do not like eachother.
I agree with other comments that ISR would be hard pressed to turn down a stallion already approved by OHBS/GOV, but since they are totally separate registries, ISR/ONA would require that the stallion be presented to its own inspectors for licensing inspection. If the stallion wasn’t formally presented to them, they would probably give it a breeding allowance, but they used to charge the foal owner a pretty hefty “foreign sire fee” if the foal was sired by a stallion not on its roster. IIRC, it was somewhere around $300 per foal.
Unless it has changed, in addition to a ISR/Oldenburg $300 foreign stallion fee, the breeder was responsible for the DNA as well.
Thank you…all your answers were very helpful!
