I was looking on Elimar and noticed birds rung with rings IQ ie IQ.26.7776029 never seen these before. Anybody know who or where this stud is? Can't find nothing online.

Yes I saw those. The rings are IraQ and on the bottom of the pedigree it just says London and a post code. No doubt someone in the area will know. After some sprinters King?

So would these foreign rings whichever Country they originated from be recognised by the UK, say you break them out to your loft to race, would there be any stumbling blocks. Just interested if anyone has done this.

I think rings can only be recognised by the RPRA if the issuing country is a member of the FCI

So is the governing body the FCI just Europe or is it world wide ? Logo on these rings, if they don't have the logo wouldn't they be accepted when trying to transfer.

The NWHU, WHU & SU are not members.

As I said Country, the only home unions that are FCI members are the RPRA and the NEHU
