Frequently asked questions

My donkeys has never been registered - can I get them registered with IMDR? As long as your donkey is under 38" in height they can be registered.

Do my donkeys have to be inspected by a vet of some other party to be registered? No - IMDR has a self inspection form which must be signed by which the owner certify that this donkey is free from any major faults which would not allow regular registration.

If my donkey has some major faults, can it still be registered? Yes - IMDR has a Pet Quality category that donkeys can be registered under. This category is for donkeys who should not be bred (foals can not be registered out of pet quality donkeys) but still are wonderful pets.

How is IMDR different from ADMS? IMDR concentrates on, and registers only miniature donkeys. We offer services not available elswhere: rating system, foal registration discounts, accept donkeys 36"-38" for registration, have a Pet category and many others.

Can I transfer a donkey from another registry? Yes IMDR will transfer all the background information into our database, and all previous regisatration numbers are listed on the registration background.

My donkey doesn't have any background information - can he still be registered? Yes - a background is not required for registration. Just provide the information you know on the application.

Do I have to become a member to register? No - just pay the non-member fees for registration

When does a donkey qualify for permanent registration? When they reach 2 years of age.

Do you require photos on foals? Not it they are under 6 months of age - you just need to send in the application and the fees on foals.

How do I measure my donkeys height? Use a good measuring device on a level hard surface and measure from the ground up to the highest part of the withers (where the cross meets). Make sure that the measuring device is level.
