Basingstoke, UK, 28 June 2010

32 Leonbergers  flanked the driveway at a crematorium as a mark of respect to Fred Inwood, who died aged 80 after six decades as a breeder.
Leonberger owners from all over Britain bought their pooches to the ceremony in Basingstoke, Hants, to say farewell to Fred.
His widow Jenny said: "It's a fitting testament to Fred that the dogs were with him today. He loved them.
"I'm so touched because what could have been a very sad day has turned into a tribute to Fred's life."

Online scam swindles dog lovers

ONLINE scammers have swindled thousands of dollars out of dog lovers by selling puppies that never arrive.

Vicitms of the scam paid between $1440 and $2725 to "Newfview Kennels" which claims to have a kennel in South Australia but is not a registered business.
Minister for Consumer Affairs Gail Gago said the website claims to have Newfoundland, Chesapeake and Leonberger puppies for sale and provides a mobile number to call to place an order.
"All transactions are made via telephone and money is paid directly into a bank account belonging to Andrew Pike of Newfview Kennels," Ms Gago said.
After payment, a delivery date is set and agreed to but the puppies fail to arrive on the scheduled date.
These unsuspecting customers have not received a puppy or a refund despite repeated requests and promises."
Six people have made formal complains to the Office of Consumer and Business Affairs.

From ABC news:

A warning has been issued about a business claiming to sell puppies after six complaints were received by the South Australian Office of Consumer Affairs.
SA Consumer Affairs Minister Gail Gago says in one case the internet business called new view kennels was paid nearly $3,000 for a puppy but failed to deliver it.
Ms Gago says she has taken the rare step of issuing a public warning about the man running the business, Andrew Pike.
"SAPOL [South Australian Police] are working with police in other states in an attempt to locate Mr Pike," she said.
"He's got a track record of dishonest behaviour. Back in 2006 in New South Wales he was actually convicted of falsely representing himself as a solicitor.

 

The here mentioned kennel has in the past years contacted several Leonberger breeders to buy puppies from them.
Accordirg to reliable informations he doesn't owe any Leonberger at the moment.

International judges Seminar 2009.

Judges play an important role in the canine world.
A passion that is pursued with great love, commitment and provision of personal free time.
This includes the will to and obligation for ongoing training, which was accaomplishd this weekend with a large number of international participants.

"International" is indeed the right word,  33 participants from 15 nations had traveled to the hometown of the Leonberger to attend this event.

Our President and Conference Chairman Willi Güllix warmly welcomed the fellow  judges  on behalf of the Board of the International Union  and expressed his hope that the event would run  smoothly and that the seminar would be interesting,  and informative for all participants..

The objective of the event was  to present and discuss the points on the agenda in a professional manner.

For multilingual seminars it is important that documentation and correct translation is available for all. Therefore the speakers worked with modern equipment, like  a laptop with power point presentations, partly in German and English. On two screens.  The discussions and comments were immediately translated.
 

Explained in lectures by an international team, and  widely discussed,  were;

Dr. Guido Perosino (Italy), Focus: The head of the Leonberger, analysis of standard requirements for form and expression, using head study pictures.

Peter Cejnek (Austria) , Focus: The breed image evolution and related quality changes.

Petra Junehall (Sweden) , Focus: type and proportions, disqualifying faults.

Willi Güllix (Germany), Focus:  Gait, movement, and course of movement, caninus narrow standing, interpretation of the breed standard and writing critiques.

The final word was reserved for our President. The good work of the speakers, who had spent days and weeks in preparing the speeches, was  rewarded with a big applause.  

Hoping that the goal, being an uniform evaluation of our breed, has come a   good step closer, he didn’t only thank the participants for coming, but also for their participation in fruitful discussions.

Internationale Zuchtrichter-Tagung 2009
7-8 November. Clubheim / Leonberg.

Richter erfüllen eine wichtige Aufgabe in der Kynologie. Eine Passion die mit viel, Engagement und Bereitstellung persönlicher Freizeit ausgeübt wird.
Dazu gehört in nicht unerheblichem Maß der Wille und die Verpflichtung zur Weiterbildung, die mit großer internationaler Beteiligung an diesem Wochenende durchgeführt wurde.

Die Bedeutung des Wortes " International " ist durchaus zutreffend. 33 Teilnehmer aus 15 Nationen waren in die Heimatstadt der Leonberger gereist um dieser Veranstaltung beizuwohnen.

Unser Präsident und Tagungsleiter Willi Güllix begrüßte die Richterkolleginnen- und Kollegen im Namen des „Vorstandes der Internationalen Union“ sehr herzlich, und wünschte allen Teilnehmern interessante- und informative Seminartage sowie einen guten Verlauf der Veranstaltung. 

Ziel dieser Veranstaltung war es - professionell und praxisorientiert -  die Themen der Tagesordnung umzusetzen und zu vermitteln.

Bei mehrsprachigen Vorträgen ist eine für alle verständliche Dokumentation sowie eine sorgfältige Übersetzung ein wichtiges Thema. Aus diesem Grund arbeiteten die Referenten mit modernem Equipment wie Laptop und Powerpoint Präsentationen. Teilweise in deutscher- und englischer Sprache auf 2 Leinwänden gleichzeitig. Die Diskussionen und Kommentare wurden sofort übersetzt.

Die Vortragsthemen wurden auf ein internationales Team verteilt.

Dr. Guido Perosino (Italien), Schwerpunkt: Der Kopf des Leonbergers, Standardforderung dazu Analyse von Form und Ausdruck anhand von Kopfstudien.

Peter Cejnek (Österreich) , Schwerpunkt: Zuchtentwicklung unter Berücksichtigung der damit verbundenen Qualitätsveränderungen.

Petra Junehall (Schweden) ,  Schwerpunkt: Typ und Proportionen, disqualifizierende Fehler. 

Willi Güllix (Deutschland), Schwerpunkt; Gangwerk; Bewegung, Bewegungsablauf, Caninus Engstand, Auslegung des Rassestandards und Abfassung von Richterberichten

Das Schlusswort war unserem Präsidenten vorbehalten. Mit viel Applaus wurde die gute Arbeit der Referenten belohnt, die sich über Tage- und Wochen auf die Präsentation der Referate bestens vorbereitet hatten.

Voller Hoffnung, dem Ziel einer möglichst einheitlichen Bewertung unserer Rasse einen guten Schritt näher gekommen zu sein, wurde sich nicht nur für das Kommen sondern auch für die begeisterte und disziplinierte Diskussionsbereitschaft der Teilnehmer herzlich bedankt. Abschließend wurde noch die Mitarbeit aller Personen gewürdigt, die vor und hinter den Kulissen zum Erfolg der Richtertagung erheblichen Beitrag geleistet haben, insbesondere der Küchenmannschaft im Clubheim für die gute Bewirtung.  

Protokollführer
Hein Sibrijns



As result of the “International Judges Seminar 2009” the participating judges agreed on following recommendations:
Over the coming years they shall, whilst judging our breed, pay extra attention to a substantial/harmonic construction, correct proportions of head and muzzle, straight parallel fore and hind legs with obvious angulation in the hind legs, and especially see to the carriage of the tail while standing and in movement as prescribed by the standard.

Als Ergebnis der „Internationalen Richtertagung 2009“ sind sich die teilnehmenden Richterinnen- und Richter über das Folgende einig.
Sie werden in den nächsten Jahren mit besonderer Aufmerksamkeit bei der Beurteilung unserer Rasse auf substanzvollen – harmonischen Körperbau, auf korrekte Kopf- und Fangproportionen , auf gerade gestellte Läufe mit deutlich gewinkelten Hintergliedmaßen, insbesondere auf die im Standard beschriebene Rutenhaltung im Stand und in der Bewegung achten.
