In order to establish internationally the recogni- tion of the Belgian Blue breed, 6 Herd-Book were created in Europe, America, Asia and in Australia.

BB Stand, Regina (Canada)
These 6 Herd-Books, members of the BBI, work together in order to:
• harmonize the methods and criteria of identifica- tion and registration of BBB in the different Herd- Books;
• keep the registers and registration papers of the animals exchanged or sold;
• exchange information regarding the breeding of Belgian Blue;
• favour the exchange of genetics;
• cooperate in the promotion of the Belgian Blue breed;
• represent internationally the interests of the Bel- gian Blue.
International meetings, breeding seminars, exchange of judges, carcass competitions...are notably organized within the framework of this collaboration.
