International Miniature Donkey Registry

The official registry for Miniature Donkeys! IMDR was incorporated in 1992 by popular demand from breeders, owners, buyers and sellers who wanted reasonable registry prices, professionalism, an accurate and useful computer database, and an organization who would use all membership fees to promote Miniature Donkeys. All of these people got their wish! IMDR has earned the respect of breeders around the world! Remember, it only costs $7.50 to register a foal out of IMDR registered parents! (Other registries charge $18.00+ !!) Why throw your money away and pay more than you have to?

Five easy steps to apply for Registration: You do not have to be a member of IMDR to register a donkey, however the registration fees are more expensive if you are not a member. See fee schedules below.
1. Call IMDR for Registration Applications.
2. Take pictures. The registry needs two photos of the left side, and two of the right side. These may be duplicates. One set goes on the back of the regisration certificate and the other set goes on file with the application. Take photographs in good light so all identifyable marks can be recognized.
3. Fill out the application form and all pedigree information. Pedigrees are not required for registration, but if they are known they should be indicated.
4. Complete the owner and breeder information on the form exactly as you want it to show on all registration certificates.
5. Enclose all with appropriate fees by check or enclosed credit card information.

Special IMDR Rating Program: IMDR has a special donkey rating program. This computer generated conformation grading system is unique and of great help to new buyers. When considering buying an adult donkey with IMDR registration papers, ask the seller what the IMDR Rating is on the donkey. Ratings are based strictly on conformation. A Two, Three or Four Star rating means that you are purchasing a quality animal. Write IMDR for details.
