Erkund or reciprocal status with the KWPN
Hi Everyone! I wanted to write a quick note to update you that I have had several correspondences with the KWPN/NA about the Erkund/reciprocal or foal registration possibilties with the KWPN after Good as Gold completes his 10 day OLD NA test and receives his lifetime approval with the OLD NA. I am waiting for the “final word” from them after they speak with the office in Germany and can tell me for 100% certainty what “Approved” means according to the German OLD.
Here is the information I have so far…
<< We also double checked with the Oldenburg office. They said your stallion Good as Gold is a licensed stallion with them.
This means he falls into the same category as a VB Dutch Stallion, so in other words, at this time, his offspring are only eligible for register B papers when bred to Dutch mares. When he is fully approved (not just licensed), then he will be considered approved with an Erkend studbook and will result in register “A” eligible foals when bred to Dutch mares. >>
then…
after the successful completion of the 10 day test
<<we will check with The German Oldenburg Office, and if he is approved with them, then he will be considered “Approved with an Erkend Studbook.” The Oldenburg NA office should be able to tell you if that 10 day test will classify him as approved with the German Oldenburg Office. >>
So, STILL not sure…I am beginning to wonder if anyone really knows what all of the new rule changes mean?? They have changed so fast…
