I am waiting eagerly for the lawyer, Lars Weidemann to respond back. He felt he could help me so I'm hopeful he will be able to assist. As my company, Henkel, has a very significant presence in Dusseldorf, they are looking into having their legal team also assisting with Mr. Weidemann to get to the right authorities to make the correct decision on my miniature. I'm willing to get FCI or other pedigree papers in addition to his AKC papers if necessary.
I was so excited for my expat assignment until this happened. But suppose better to deal with it now then get to Germany and have problems. If this does not work out, last resort to keep my expat is my company is looking at potential for me to live in Roermond, Netherlands and take the 1 hr commute each way every day; possibly work from home on Fridays. A big mess so hopefully legal help will make the Dusseldorf situation work out ok.
