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.
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.

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.

The president’s Christmas and New Year’s message. Dear members of the International Leonberger Union, dear friends, Now the year 2008 flies by quickly, Christmas is coming soon. We cannot overlook it, time doesn’t stop, and again we are on the threshold of a new year.
Already in a few weeks the calendar 2009 will be hang
on the wall. What do we take along into the New Year? At least wonderful memories and good feelings resulting from personal successes and being needed and challenged. But there are also losses and disappointments, because many hopes didn’t come true. I may of course use the opportunity of the moment to think about the months of the past year.
Directly before the turn of the year it shows for every
one of us whether the set goals were achieved. The new board did this also, in review of what was achieved since September, with a prognosis for the year 2009. The co-operation with the representatives of the member countries is a first class example of how efficient and harmonical teamwork can be, when the advancement of our breed and the International Leonberger Union is at stake. We are convinced that every member country works and will work by means of exercising caution, balancing between self regulation, obligations and performance review, as far as the national kennel clubs allow. Breeding and exhibitions are linked inseparably with one another , thus being substantial components in the club life of the individual member countries. To emphasize is the big number of international exhibitors, who visit, with substantial costs, dog shows all over Europe. Their show entries make it possible to present the stand of the breeding throughout the year and to evaluate the quality of the breed on an international level. This deserves our respect and acknowledgement. The connection of tradition and future, your will and force, to support the interests of the International Leonberger Union, with the associated responsibility for our breed, are sufficient stimulus and incentive to stand with joy for our task in the new year. May the Advents and Christmas season bring you and your family new force and confidence for the year 2009, for which I wish you all prosperity, and above all health and luck!
For the board of the
International Union,
|
The board informs! (16-12-2008)
ARTIFICIAL INSEMINATION and the associated responsibility of breeders and stud owners.
Owing to recent
events:
The following is the recommendation of the board regarding the procedures
of artificial insemination in international breeding exchanges.
Fundamental:
According to International Breeding Rules of the FCI §6, it is in any case
forbidden
to mate the bitch with more than one stud dog during the same oestrus
cycle.
Consequently it is also not allowed to inseminate a bitch with semen from
two or more stud dogs during the same heat!
Special precautions are needed when exporting semen to a country where the registering body allows multiple sire inseminations.
Approval process
(if necessary):
First appropriate approval of artificial insemination has to be obtained,
if regulations of the national kennel clubs or their breed clubs in the
countries concerned dictate the necessity of such an approval.
Insemination
contract/use of the semen:
Breeders and owners of stud dogs are strongly urged to negotiate a written
contract before each insemination wherein the financial and other
obligations of both parties are clearly defined.
In addition, the following points concerning the use of the semen should also be contained in the contract:
1. The semen of the stud dog is to be used exclusively for the bitch named in the contract.
2. Under no circumstances will the owners of the stud dog allow the insemination the bitch named in the contract during the same heat cycle, with semen from one or more other dogs.
3.
If not all
available semen has been used by the veterinary surgeon for artificial
insemination of the bitch, the breeder is not permitted to on sell it, or
to use it for his own breeding, unless the stud owner from whom the semen
was procured agrees, whereupon a renewal of the approval (see approval
process), for a new insemination would be required.
Or the owner of the stud dog may instruct to keep the remaining frozen
semen untouched until further notice, or to destroy it.

Hierzu muss ein entsprechender Antrag des DCLH inklusive der Einverständniserklärung des ausländischen Klubs an den“ Verband für das Deutsche Hundewesen (VDH)e.V.“ eingereicht werden.
Der DCLH Vorstand hat hierzu folgende Regelung getroffen; seine Anwartschaft Dt.Ch.Klub ausschließlich im zu prüfenden Einzelfall zu besonderen Anlässen im Ausland wie z.B. auf Jubiläums-Klubschauen von Mitgliedsländern der Leonberger- Union zur Verfügung zu stellen, sofern dies gewünscht wird.
Freundliche Grüsse
Willi Güllix, Präsident DCLH
Dear Friends,
The German Kennel Club offers its Breed Clubs (that includes the DCLH) the possibility to award on request in special cases the internal Club CAC in a foreign country.
To do so the DCHL must address such a request, together with a declaration of consent of the foreign club to “Das Verband für das Deutsche Hundewesen (VDH) e.V.”.
The board of
the DCLH has ruled as follows:
The DCLH internal club CAC will only be awarded in proven exceptional cases
in foreign countries, for example on jubilee club shows of member clubs of
the International Leonberger Union.
(When
a dog has obtianed 4 DCLH internal club CACs from 3 different
judges, and the time span between the first and last CAC is over 12
months, the dog obtains the title
"Club Champion DCLH."
The CAC's can only be awarded in open class, intermediate class and champion
class).
Kind regards
Willi Güllix, president of the DCLH.
