FCI Utility Dog Commission Breaks Under Pressure

The FCI Utility Dog Commission, under pressure from the massive outcry of working trainers everywhere, has knuckled under and reversed the decision to remove the stick hits from the 2014 FCI IPO championships in Sweden.

In one sense this is a victory, but it is also a warning, a wakeup call for working dog people everywhere; a victory in one small battle, but we are still at war.

If we are at war, who is the enemy?   The enemy is the FCI, for this is an organization by and for show dog enthusiasts and pet dog breeders, an organization always willing to throw working dog trainers under the  bus in response to pressure from the green party politicians and animal rights advocates.

More fundamentally, we are under pressure from do gooder European Liberalism which incessantly seeks to control and restrict the freedom of individuals in the European Union and the rest of the world through the influence of Euro centric organizations such as the FCI.

This is a battle on many fronts, and Americans especially need to become prepared to resist; should our European friends and mentors lose their struggle to train their dogs in the traditional ways, we must resist, must not be taken under to drown, must establish our own culture and organizations, independent of Europe.

Right now, it is important to make contact with the decision makers, the Utility Dog Commissioners, and make them understand our priorities.

The FCI is just like the AKC and they don't give a damn about pressure .. they collect money and sponsor and organize dog events put on by breed organizations and sport clubs.  The Breed clubs and the Sport organizations write the rules and enforce.  The FCI is a front organization for the 800 pound gorilla breed clubs to wear an international tag just like the WUSV is the SV Mercedes with a new paint job and international plates.The AKC could buy and sell the FCI and that is why the AKC is not now nor will it ever be an FCI member.  The USA in the world of IPO is like a turd floating in a punch bowl .. ugly, disgusting and everyone wishes it would go away so I doubt pressure from anyone in the USA had anything to do with any changes.  The VDH and the other nations that have a member in the FCI could influence the FCI but since the USA has no FCI member it is pretty much without any voice and if there is a voice it is the AKC and the AKC member clubs.

ok as outspoken, opinionated and trollsome as i am, i think just goes beyond good taste. do you get many random people come out of a crowd just to punch you in the face?

Bubba crossed a "red line"...Obama will be after him

for crossing a red line he should be tied in a chair and made to watch 24/7 reruns of the Westminster dog show, for 2 weeks.
