Hank not competing this year then i read it wrong. and if Hemut Huber wished to compete he does not need to qualify, as the winner the year before he can compete by right.
That is a great shame not to see the current holder going again

I don't think it's a great shame. There is a time and reason for everything. I think we will be surprised about the power the German women and their female dogs will be bringing into the competition.

In my opinion it is a shame that the current holder is not there to defend his Title? But i guess the owner has other plans.
I have already mentioned in my first letter Birgit Diegel and her Vayja they did a good job last year. i do not know why you talk about the power of women handlers or bring them up. To me there is no difference Male or Female handlers I never gave it a thought. a Dog handler is a Dog handler and there are good and bad in both Men and the Ladies. I was just hoping that the current champion Hank would defend his Crown as i think he would have been hard to beat and it would have great to see a couple of dogs i think a lot of would have fared against him. Again my opinion only. And i will be taking a particular interest in the dog called Mira of handler Katja Leuthold, seeing that she is Half Sister to my own Female, both having the same Father,  Javir

There is no good reason for Dog teams not to be posted by this late date. Programs should be finalized and available for purchase in another week. Putting on lare events is never easy. But this is not the first time this event has been held in this country. This event is held every year and there are expectations. I hope this is not a sign of things left undone or last minute.

It seems strange that people have to wait this long after close of entrants for the teams to be listed. I hope they run the event better than they have the website
