The Hannoveraner Verband was founded in 1922 and since that time it has been organized into regional societies, like Hanover or North Rhine-Westphalia.  Hannoveraner International is one of these regional societies and represents the interests of Hanoverian breeders all over the world.  It includes daughter societies in the U. S., Great Britain, Australia and New Zealand.  And breeding clubs in Canada, Denmark, Finland, France, Italy, Russia, Sweden, and South Africa.  All together, these clubs and societies make up Hannoveraner International and are integrated into the Verband with full voting rights. 

In this podcast, Candice Klingbeil speaks to Maren Schlender, the Deputy Breeder Manager of the Verband about how the daughter societies and breeding clubs are held to a high standard set by the Verband.  She also speaks to Inga Hamilton, President of the Eastern Breeding Club of the Canadian Hanoverian Society about the benefits of being a breeding club and remaining directly associated with the Verband.  And finally, she speaks to Natalie DiBerardinis, the President of the American Hanoverian Society about some of the unique advantages of being a daughter society.  Natalie also shared some exciting new news about the recently launched AHS Foundation.  The AHS is the only daughter society of the Verband with its own non-profit Foundation.
