This message is from: Arthur and Carol Rivoire <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Good Morning from Carol Rivoire at Beaver Dam Farm in Nova Scotia -
Just a few points to clear up - The horses we import are all duly registered with the Dutch Fjord Studbook, and come with their official Passport, which has a 3 generation pedigree printed, includes a DNA certtificate, Dutch Registraion number, and microchip barcode. --- The official Dutch Passport is set up for only 3 generations. However, if I wanted 5 generations, I could ask for it and get it. AND THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT I'LL DO IN THE FUTURE because it annoys the hell out of me to see a pedigree certificate not fully filled in, particularly since I know the information is there for the asking. SUGGESTION #1 - Please remind us from time to time that it is the owner's responsibility to obtain a completed pedigree to the 4th and 5th generations . . . if they want a completed NFHR ped. cert. Speaking personally, it is easy to forget this detail when importing horses. SUGGESTION #2 Perhaps the Registrar could contact the owner if and when he finds a pedigree that's going to have holes in it to the 5th generation. If the horse is an imported horse, then it's simple for the owner to get the information. Mike can provide the necessary phone and fax numbers. SUGGESTION #3 - It seems the simplest of all would be for the Registrar to contact his counterpart office and request information he needs. Every new bit of pedigree informatioin that goes in the NFHR computers makes ours a better registry . . . in my opinion. Another benefit would be to have the various Registries maintain a good working relationship with each other.
