Follow up of the FCI Youth initiative: the FCI General Committee approves and confirms support!

On their last meeting in Amsterdam on 3-4 November, the FCI General Committee members unanimously approved the FCI Youth objectives and structure.

Amsterdam, December 2014 - The Eukanuba World Challenge 2014 came to a stirring finale on Saturday evening, December 13th, in Amsterdam’s RAI Centre before a packed international crowd. From a stunning field of 12 finalists BIS judge Jorgen Hindse, President of the FCI European Section and President of the Danish Kennel Club, selected ‘Ch. Tricky Ricky from Yarrow Hi-Tech’, the male Affenpinscher from Indonesia representing the World Dog Show 2014, as his “Best of the Best” Eukanuba world Challenge Champion 2014.

The new FCI website has been launched for four months and it is more thrilling than ever to monitor our indicators!
The amount of information one can collect while examining the figures regarding our followers is just amazing.

Here at the SCAOCC (Sociedad Canina de Andalucía Occidental – Dog Society of Western Andalusia) we have been focusing on our youngest handlers for some time now. We know how interested they are and how much effort they put in as we see this reflected in the way they get involved in the shows and competitions we organise year after year.

We would like to draw our fans’ attention on the fact that our Facebook page is under no circumstances any official organ of the FCI and may not supersede the official communication means with the FCI, i.e. e-mails, post or phone calls.

The Education Centre to the Lithuanian Kennel Club has been carrying out various educational programmes about dogs aimed at young people for nearly three years now.

FCI archives: how lucky we are!

One of the most impressive things about the FCI is that, being a hundred-year-old federation, it can be considered as one of the probably restricted number of existing international organisations being able to legitimately claim to be an authentic witness of the last 100 years of contemporary history!

Genetic consequences
They are relative, on one hand to the evolution of genetic variability and, on the other hand to the beginning of a raciation process.

FCI website

On August 10th, 2014 the FCI was proud to announce the launch of a newly-designed website.
This revamped version offers new functionalities, improved navigation and modern design.

We would like to cordially invite you to attend the 2nd International Dog Health Workshop, arranged by the German canine organisation (VDH), member of the FCI, on February 14–15, 2015 in Dortmund. The workshop is arranged as a following-conference event to the 1st Workshop in Stockholm in 2012.

International Partnership for Dogs (IPFD)

After giving it deep consideration, the FCI General Committee finally decided to be an active part of an important project, namely the creation of the international non-profit making organisation called “International Partnership for Dogs” (IPFD) whose role will be to create and keep updated an extensive website called DogWellNet.
