Addition to the regulations on the IFR World Championship IPO III ABC (castrated dogs).

The IFR Board received the question if a castrated dog can participate the IFR World Championship IPO III ABC.    The current regulations do not state on this.    After consideration, the Board decided to adopt the regulation (art. 6.8) of the FCI on the organization of the World Championship for all breeds :

Castrated bitches and male dogs can be admitted if proof of original intactness is furnished by way of a veterinary certificate.

Cfr. the full text of these regulations.

BSL Alert in Spain (Madrid) and Wallonia (Belgium)

At a time that we are convinced that it has been long proven that there is no such thing as a "dangerous canine breed", again initiatives for Breed Specfic Legislation (BSL) were announced in Spain (Madrid) and in Belgium (Wallonia).   The Spanish (CRE) and Belgian (BRK) IFR-Memberclubs  have said to fight those proposals. The IFR-Board will therefore not intervene directly with the authorities that have announced those legislative initiatives but has offered its help to the Memberclubs concerned as I am sure that all other Memberclubs will do too.  Will be followed up upon.

Post testimonii dd. 05.05.2017 ... IFR quo vadis ?

Dear Rottweiler Friends,

I am convinced that the Delegate of your Rottweilerclub who attended the IFR-Meetings dd. 04 and 05.05.2017 in Serbia has already reported to you about these meetings, their content and especially their importance.   I dare indeed state that the Meeting of Delegates dd. 05.05.2017 2017, preceded by the preparatory Meeting of Breed Wardens, was extremely important and fruitful.
