News From AWDF

To all LV/DVG America Members,

On our LV America website, you can find the AWDF guidelines - Click Here for declaring your interest in being one of the AWDF dog/handler team members to participate in the 2008 FCI IPO World Championship. This will be held in Wavre, Belgium, September 11 through 14, 2008. There are specific requirements and steps you must follow in order to be considered by the AWDF Team Selection Committee. That includes filling out the requisite entry form, providing copy of the pedigree and registration papers (dog must be registered to participate) and also proof of successfully participating in with passing scores in at least 2 championships in the prior 12 months. This material is to be sent to me so that I can verify to the selection committee that you hold valid current membership in LV/DVG America.

If you wish to know more about the FCI IPO championship itself, you can go to www.fci2008.be to the home page. Click on the language you want the information to be in and it will bring up the FCI Championship site in English.

PLEASE NOTE THAT THE DEADLINE DATE FOR RECEIPT OF ENTRY INFORMATION THAT IS SHOWN ON THE DECLARATION REQUIREMENTS HAS BEEN EXTENDED FROM JUNE 10 TO JUNE 30, 2008. Please also note that the “membership in an AWDF breed club” is not longer valid and that the requirement is current valid membership in an AWDF member organization.
