German Kennel Club Centenary

The German Kennel Club, the VDH, held a huge celebration of all things canine last weekend in Dortmund, Germany, writes Vince Hogan.

A crowd of approximately 75,000 attended across all three days which gave the whole event a Crufts-like feel.

Coupled with a dog show which had attracted about 12,000 dogs, there were nearly 300 horses on show and two separate arenas where all day canine and equine events took place. In addition to the show rings there was a multitude of other activities taking place over the hectic three day period.

There was a reasonable international attendance and a particularly strong UK presence both in terms of judges (including Ronnie Irving, Ann Arch, Michael Quinney and many others) and exhibitors....many of whom had very good results at both shows.

On Friday, the VDH squeezed their usual three day Bundessieger Show into one day which meant BIS, judged by Wilfried Peper,  took place at about 8pm, a marathon day which saw Robin Martial’s (France) Afghan Hound top the lot. pictured below

Saturday and Sunday were the days when the actual Centenary Show took place, and perhaps not unsurprisingly a German owned German Shepherd took top spot... Zamp vom Thermodos was put through by honourary President Mr Uwe Fischer. pictured above

A notable sponsorship with Deutsche Bank made a significant impact on the show and was a welcome partner from outside  the normal world of dogs. Overall it was an impressive event staged by the VDH which also hosted a glittering gala dinner for 500 people on the Saturday night, fronted by new President Christofer Habig who ably spoke both in German and English and made some very interesting comments, more of which will follow in this paper.

The Our Dogs team were there in force and a full report by Lorna Hastings and photos by Lorna, Vince Hogan, and Roberto will appear in a forthcoming issue...which will also be on sale at the World Show in Poland in November.

New venue for BUBA

BRITISH UTILITY BREEDS Association, as you will know, has a new venue for its 35th group championship show on December 2 – Three Counties Showground, Malvern, where several of our summer shows are based. I’m sure many of you have been wondering how it is going to pan out, especially if the weather is cold – which it is more or less guaranteed to be at that time of the year.

Well, secretary Meg Purnell-Carpenter tells me that not only will all the buildings be heated (at great expense!), all the rings will be carpeted – and tenting (which will house the trade stands and refreshments) will join up the buildings with the Avon Hall where the BIS ring will be situated.

But to keep the heat in not many of the doors will be open, so do please bear this in mind. It is hoped that a plan of the layout of this Christmassey show will be printed here in Newsround in the next few weeks.

Paper entries have already closed, but you can still enter on-line
(at www.fossedata.net) until Thursday next week (Oct 26).
A reminder that judging will start at 9.30am for most breeds.
