The IFR and the situation in Ukraine

• 2022.02.27

Both the Rottweiler Clubs of Russia and Ukraine are affiliated to the IFR.

Now that Russia is waging war on Ukraine, threatening the whole world with nuclear warfare and now also that some Russian Rottweiler breeders / owners / handlers are publishing messages on social media that are at least “questionable” , I have been repeatedly asked if the IFR will take a stand concerning the membership of the Rottweiler club of Russia and/or if Russian Rottweiler Friends will be allowed or not to participate IFR-events.

Believe me, the IFR-Board does not take this situation lightly !   To respect democracy, we sent our views and proposals to all Delegates of IFR Member Clubs for approval !   We have asked the Delegates to take a position as quickly as possible.  Many have already expressed their position and we will publish and communicate the final decision when we will know the will of the majority.

In the meantime, we repeat our plea to all Rottweiler Friends to show solidarity and to offer support to our Ukrainian Rottweiler Friends who are in need for shelters !

The situation in Ukraine - IFR asks for support.

Dear Rottweiler Friends,

With the whole world, we are witnessing the events in Ukraine today.

We hope that our friends in Ukraine are and remain safe, but also that when the need is high, also for their Rottweilers, that they will then be able to call on the support of the international friendship of all other Rottweiler friends !

We wish you courage and strength !!

The IFR Board.

IFR World Winner 2022 - not in North Maceondia

• 2022.01.06

The IFR Board regretfully had to establish that the Rottweiler Club of North Macedonia no longer meets the conditions for IFR membership and that its membership was automatically terminated in accordance with the articles of association.

This also implies that the World Winner Show 2022 will not take place in North Macedonia.  

All Delegates were asked if their club is willing to take over the organization.

To be continued soon.
