Season’s Greetings

In line with the decisions of past Meetings of Delegates, the organization of the 2022 IFR World Winner Show is granted to our Rottweiler Friends of North-Macedonia.
The IFR-Board wishes them a succesful organization and with all Rottweiler Friends we look forward to a great event.
We are sorry to learn that due to unforeseen circumstances, the IFR World Show 2022 will not be organised in the Netherlands. The IFR-Board will now shortly decide and communicate if the organisation can and will be granted to our friends in North Macedonia or not.
The IFR World Championships IGP and IFH will be organized in 2022 by the French Rottweiler Club, the UFR or Union Française pour le Rottweiler and it is clear that French friends are certainly not planning to miss a good start but are already in full preparation.
The venue and dates of the event are known (Aniche, 17 – 22 October 2022) and the following link lets you download a first presentation (location, judges, protection helpers, etc.) and a website is announced.
We look forward to a great event !
As all Delegates are aware, the RKNA Canada has again sent in an application for IFR-Membership and this application has been discussed at the Meeting of Delegates dd. 13.10.2021. Taking a decision on the application is however for many reasons difficult and extremely delicate and calls for prudence. For this reason, the decision was unanimously postponed.
The Board now received copies of recent publications on internet by the representative of the RKNA Canada that concern the course of the Meeting of Delegates, stating that there was a clear will and intention to keep the Canadian Rottweiler out of the Federation and stating that the IFR President has deliberately manipulated all Delegates at the Meeting to make sure that the Delegates would refuse the application.
These messages are extremely untrue, in a measure that they are even absurd ! It was even precisely the IFR-President who supported the application and who suggested to postpone the decision to avoid a refusal and have the chance to search for a solution.
The President wants to leave the posts unspoken off in the measure that they are aimed at him as a person (“ Conscia mens recti, famae mendacia ridet “ = a clean conscience will win out over false lies ). However, because these posts also show a lack of respect for the IFR’s institutional organs and were read and sent to us by Rottweiler amateurs, even also by Delegates, the Board thought it opportune to inform all of the letter that the IFR-Board sent to the RKNA Canada and to even publish it on our website so all is clear and that there are no misunderstandings : click to read the PDF-file.
We assure you that all – the IFR President, all IFR Board members and all Delegates - separate and united in the Board and in the Meeting of Delegates - are and will always be committed to high moral standards and that we insist that appropriate respect for the IFR and its institutional organs is shown.
