The situation of the Rottweiler in France is in a bad mood… For the first time, the figures of the kennel club registrations last year decreased and with the strengthening of the dangerous dog legislation, the future of the breed in our country is really not bright BUT the behaviour of the dogs the Saturday 13th of October was the best answer to the politics : sound and friendly with others, the dogs – around 110 dogs in the catalogue - were really showing the best of the Rottweiler. Daniel Schwartz, the president of the Working dogs committee at the SCC was positively impressed by the behaviour of the dogs and he say’s that really, the Rottweiler in the rings of Illkirsch were really what we call “nice dogs”.
Illkirsch Graffenstaden is very close to Strasbourg. The OG, headed by the RCI judge, Francis Osterberger, with the help of Dominique Braun, was the place of the show : the ground was the best for this kind of show, the parking were along the ground, and during almost all the show, the sun was our guest !
