IMDR is the only official registry for miniature donkeys 38" and under.

IMDR was designed & built for miniature donkey owners from the ground up.

IMDR has the lowest rates in the industry. It's not that we charge so little, the others charge too much!

Come on & and join us for the future of your donkeys, yourself, and your clients.

Self Inspection:

With ADMS you are required to have your donkeys inspected by an ADMS representative or veterinarian. IMDR feels that you are responsible for the representation of your own donkeys. So you complete the self inspection form for registration. If a donkey is not as stated on the registration, who is responsible? ADMS? The inspector? No you are! So why not certify your donkey? A buyer has only one party to hold responsible, and you are that party. Just as it should be.

Reduced Rates for Members with IMDR registered parents:

If you register you breeding stock with IMDR we like to award you with lower registration fees. If you are registering a foal you can deduct $2.50 for each parent registered with IMDR

Rating Reviews:

IMDR is the only registry that offers a rating review of your donkeys. With a review you can tell how your donkey rates against the average donkey. This also allows future generations to show up on the registration papers as being rated as a Two Star, Three Star or Four Star. You can look back on past generations and get an idea of conformation, and not just look at names.

Customer Service:

You can call and ask any questions that concern you regarding your donkeys. We are always glad to help. Because of our large herd we have experienced just about everything, and can possible answer your needs. We try and get your registrations back to you in about two weeks after we get them. Usually it is sooner, depending on how many we get in each week.

Donkeys over 36" and under 38"

IMDR is the only registry that will accept registrations on these donkeys. Many donkey owners who own 36.01-38.00” have taken advantage of this special registration. A lot of the original donkeys were within this size range and should not have been arbitrarily eliminated from registration.

Register without paying membership fees:

IMDR offers many ways that you can join, or you can register without paying any membership fees. If you choose not to become a member you just pay the non-members fee for registration. Of course if you will be registering several donkeys it may benefit you to pay a membership fee.

IMDR also offers a Lifetime Membership, which also offers a 10% discount on all registrations. Lifetime members are listed on the IMDR page in MDT magazine.

Membership Fees:

Membership fee go towards the promotion of miniature donkeys. We constantly send out information to shows, sales, and inquiries from potential donkey buyers.

Name Changes:

IMDR has a check off box on the transfer form (which is right on the registration) which the breeder can allow or disallow a name change on foals. As long as a donkey has never produced foals, a name change is allowed. This allows you to make sure that your farm  & chosen name stays with that donkey. You can approve a name change, but leave your farm name in front of the donkeys name.

Transfer any existing registration to IMDR.

Rather than sending your registrations to ADMS or MDR for transfer, just send them to IMDR. We will honor those papers and transfer the donkey to your name and issue new registration papers.

Combine all your registrations into one registry.

If you have donkeys registered in several older registries you can send them in for transfer to IMDR.

No foal pictures required.

With IMDR you do not need foal pictures with your registration application. We have found that foal pictures do not help much for identification purposes, so we do not require pictures until a donkey reaches 2 years of age. This saves a lot of time for you. At your option you can still send in foal pictures. We are flexible.

Donkeys are considered mature at 2 years of age.

Other registries do not consider a donkey full grown until 3 years of age. IMDR gives a permanent registration at 2 years of age. If a donkey continues to grow after that time the height can be corrected. This is rare in miniature donkeys.
