One must move with times : online attendance to the Meeting of Delegates.

• 2021.09.23

Our Federation is an association of Member Clubs that are spread all over the globe. While we prefer the representatives (Delegates) to be physically present and participate in the MOD, we must understand that this may not always be possible for some. This is even more the case in these COVID times and the resulting travel restrictions.

For this reason, the IFR-Board has bought equipment that will allow an online participation to the Meeting of Delegates. 

While we still hope that all, at least most, Delegates will be able to be present at the Meeting itself, this must allow all Member Clubs to actively attend the Meeting and therefore for more and better input, discussion, understanding and coöperation.      An invitation to attend the Meeting online over Microsoft Teams will shortly be sent to all Delegates.   

We look forward to a constructive Meeting and fruitful discussions.

IFR World Championships ... 63 entries for IGP and 12 for IFH !!!

• 2021.09.09

We count not less than :

• 63 entries for the IGP World Championship (18 countries).
• 8 for the IFH II   World Championship
• 4 for IFH I World Championship.

The participants entered as reserves for the IFH (not IGP) may participate the World Championship.   This decision was taken by the Hungarian Club in consultation with the IFR-Board and is in compliance with art. 5.6.1 of the regulations on the organisation of the event.

This ensures a great competition, ... but of course with nothing but Rottweilers ... that is always the case and guaranteed ! 

Please make publicity for the event so we will not only have many competitors but also many spectators !

On behalf of the IFR, I offer our sincere congratulations on the celebration of the 100th anniversary of the Schweizerischer Rottweilerhunde-club to the club, its board and its members.  

I thank them for their continued trust, support and commitment to our beloved breed.    

It is this commitment and the hard work of our breed clubs that ensures the preservation and future of the Rottweiler.   

I wish the club a successful celebration and, of course, an even more successful future.

We learned of the passing of Mr. Helmut Weiler, ADRK - Zuchtrichter/Körmeister.

With him, we lose an internationally valued and respected specialist judge and breeder, an true friend and defender of our beloved breed.  

On behalf of all Rottweiler enthusiasts, I offer our sincere condolences to his family and friends.
