Dear colleagues,

We are very pleased to welcome you at the event that groups together in Paris and for a few days the World Dog Show and the French Championship Show.

The consolidated total of the entries is over 36.000, without counting the hundreds of dogs attending the obedience competitions and other multiple demonstrations. We are aware of the expectations and the trust of the dog enthusiasts all over the world concerning the quality of the show.

I am convinced that the World Dog Show of the FCI centenary and of the 130^th anniversary of the Société Centrale Canine will be a successful event allowing to emphasize the quality of the attending dogs. The SCC team and the hundreds of volunteers around it will do their best in order to make a real success of the World Dog 2011.

I hope the World Dog Show 2011 in Paris will also be the occasion to better know each other and thus initiate future and mutually beneficial collaborations. I will be at your disposal the entire week; please do not hesitate to contact me for any further question. If I do not know the answer, with the help of Mrs. Valérie Moulins, head of the communication department of the SCC, we will find the appropriate contact for you.

Have a safe trip and see you on the 7^th of July. Best regards,

Imre Horvath

The FCI has the pleasure to announce its Cynological Days to be held in Brussels (BE), 11-12 November 2011 in the framework of its 100 anniversary (1911-2011).

The world’s largest and greatest dog show, DFS Crufts 2010, will take place from the 11th – 14th March at the NEC, Birmingham. With healthy, happy dogs at the heart of the show, DFS Crufts will be a celebration of the relationship between dogs and their owners, and full of events that showcase the diverse role dogs play in society.

Healthy entries to DFS Crufts 2010

Around 28,000 dogs are set to descend on the NEC in Birmingham on 11-14 March for the world’s greatest dog show, DFS Crufts 2010. Almost 22,000 of these will be competing in the pedigree classes which culminate in the prestigious Best in Show final on Sunday 14th March.

There will be 186 pedigree breeds competing at the show across the seven groups, with the Gundog group attracting the highest entry. Within that group the Labrador Retriever, Golden Retriever, Cocker Spaniel, Irish Setter and Flat Coated Retriever will see the largest number of competitors hoping to win the ultimate prize in the world of dog showing.

Again a show Belgium can be proud of

Since this year the Brussels Dog Show is held again in December and this has a positive effect on the number of entries. In my report of last year I was hoping to reach 3000, but it was far over it, 3245. Compared to the number of last year 2649 it is an increase of 23%, and this is in full crisis!!!
