IFR Regional Show in Bolivia - 26.03.2023

The IFR regional show South America will, as a part of a program of multiple show days, be organized by our Bolivian Friends on 26.03.2023. It will be judged by Prof. P. Friedrich.
 
Prior to the show, on 24.03.2023, there will be a demonstration of the Bolivian national breeding suitability tests and of the IFR Utility Dog Test (cfr. our show regulations).  This will be accompanied by an explanation of the importance of organizing breeding suitability tests and the necessity of all parent dogs to mandatory pass such tests before being used for breeding.
 
On 25.03.2023, there will be a judges seminar.
 
We wish our Bolivian Friends a successful organization !!

Annual IFR Judges Seminar

Now that the COVID-19 pandemic has (hopefully) passed, we can again organize our annual Judges Seminar.   

The Meeting will be organized at the occasion of the IFR World Show (www.ifr2023.fr) in France, more precisely on Friday 14.04.2023 at 17.00 h.
 
An invitation was sent to all judges that are listed on our website (= information sent to us by our Member Clubs) and to be complete, all Delegates were asked to inform all their national FCI licenced Rottweiler judges of the event, also those not listed on our website.     If judges do so request, a link will be sent to attend online ... although we would of course prefer that all would attend in person.
 
We look forward to another successful and fruitful meeting.   Our beloved breed will profit from it.

Russian participation to IFR events remains suspended

We refer to our former decision, supported by a very large majority of Member Clubs, that for the IFR World Show and the IFR World Championships, all registrations of dogs and/or the participation as a handler and even the presence as spectators will be refused for all that live in Russia.   Besides this, Russian judges cannot be invited to judge these events.

The situation in Ukraine has since then not improved, to the contrary even.

The Board therefore sees no other possibility but to extend the former decision to all future IFR-events and this until the Meeting of Delegates will decide otherwise.       The decision does not end the membership of the Russian Rottweiler Club.  As its right to participate our events is suspended, we will not insist on its paying the annual membership fee.

Video's of the routines of the Utility Dog Test at the IFR World Show 2023

The UFR is preparing some video's of the routines of the Utility Dog Test that will be organized at the IFR World Show 2023.   These video's will be published on the website of the event www.ifr2023.fr and will feature the protection helpers that were chosen for the test. The routines will be without stick hits.    Cfr. a former publication on this website.

To avoid all misunderstandings : participating and passing the test is not mandatory nor a necessity to obtain show results, not even for best male or female or Best Of Breed !     Passing the test is only necessary for the dog to be eligible for the title of IFR World Winner.      

Cfr. our regulations (full regulations) :
