Germany has the kennel club = VDH and Breeding Clubs that are members of the VDH. To get a Breeding Club you have to show how many dogs and different lines (not related up to the 4-5th generation) you have, nationally, not internationally. You have to pay 14 000 Euros (you can get a reduction to 7 000 if you are lucky). Then you have a period of two years to get specialised judges (that are not allowed to start training before that) and breeding controlers (who have to do a special training too and can´t start befor the period) of your own, judges and breeding controlers have to be breeders. After that period you have to show that you have done all that and continued to build up the breed. Than you have to pay again 14 ooo (or 7000) and when you are lucky you are a member then.
We (the first German Club) are trying to get there since more than a decade, we may be succesfull in the nearer future but don´t know for sure.
Till then you need for breeding in Germany a hip x-ray, an eye test not older than 1 year, 1 exhibition and one special exhibition for breeding, that´s all.
Pedigrees, registration and special permissions are given by the VDH directly.
Bonitations, Edurance tests, ED-x-rays and everything else is done volunteeringly and not asked for by the VDH.
