BTCA Biewer Terrier Club of America Fraudulent Registry--Fraudulent Titles Internet, Alabama

Subject: IABCA and Int'l Dog Shows: Fraudulent National Title Diploms
Note: Only International All Breed Canine Association National Titles signed Gayle Pruett and/or Myrna Torres are affected by this problem so far.
Warning to All Biewer Breeders and Owners:
It has recently been brought to our attention by several Biewer owners that there are some National Titles issued to Biewer owners that contain false information. It appears there are some National titles issued to Dogs under the heading of International All Breed Canine Association of America, having the Logo of International All Breed Canine Association of America (IABCA) and the UCI logo. The problem is that it appears the titles are signed listing Gayle Pruett as the President of IABCA and Myrna Torres as Secretary of IABCA. This is incorrect and people getting such titles have been misled. In fact, neither woman has ever worked for IABCA, nor have they ever been an officer of IABCA. Therefore any National Title with International All Breed Canine Association of America heading that is signed with the two above mentioned women are not valid titles. Again, to identify these titles make sure the top of the title states International All Breed Canine Assoc. of America and carries the IABCA logo, and is signed naming either person (Gayle or Myrna) as IABCA President and/or Secretary.
There appears to be an additional problem with some of these titles. They seem to have also been issued incorrectly. It appears that Puppies have been issued the adult National IABCA title. Puppies cannot be issued the adult titles. There are puppy National titles that are issued corresponding to their age at time of earning said title. The puppy titles clearly state National Baby; or National Jungsten; or National Jugend and National Junghund. Not just the word National Title Diplom. If your National Title from IABCA is signed by Jeff Bridegum as President and Brooke Bridegum as Secretary there is no problem. These titles are valid.
Investigation:
We at the IABCA are investigating the problem and what actions need to be taken. We need to know if there are others involved in the issuing of these false and incorrect titles. If you have any information regarding this matter we would appreciate your contacting the IABCA either by email (by replying to this letter) or by phone to Deb Bridegum at (503) 580-1838.
Solution: We do not want our exhibitors to be left holding an invalid title. If you hold one of these problematic National Titles wrongfully issued from someone other than IABCA, signed by Gayle Pruett and/or Myrna, IABCA intends to help you correct this problem.
Replacement of fraudulent titles:
IABCA will help you correct the problem title. You will need to send the original false title to us at IABCA:

You will also need to send $10.00 to have your title replaced. (You need to keep a copy of the incorrect title for further actions, you must send us the original.) We will then issue valid and correct National Titles and the appropriate National Puppy Titles.
We hope that the wronged exhibitors are able to receive a refund from those that issued the invalid IABCA National Titles.

Well it looks like the smoke screen did not fare well for the IABCA. In an attempt to cover up the fact that THEY were the ones issuing forged, fraudulent titles, the IABCA came out with a vicious, untrue story about the BTCA issuing fraudulent titles. The BTCA suffered needless attacks from many jealous, envious competitors through this tirade of untrue, fictitious, accusations.
The BTCA has been at the forefront of the development and protection of the Biewer Terrier since day one. People with nothing more than making money as a motive for breeding have caused this dedicated club and its members an undue amount of stress and aggravation. Go to http://www.biewerterriers.com/ForgedIABCATitles.html for the complete story and how you can tell if you have paid for a phoney, fraudulent title. The scam this organization has been running for years rates among one of the best rip off schemes ever.
