In the Spotlight click on documents to enlarge 2000 : Franck Haymann (www.aniwa.com) notices the first steps of our website in La Lettre du Chien (n°48) magazine. 2002 : "30 Years of European Rottweiler Breeding", Guy Verschatse's world famous book. I had the honor of writing the foreword for this magnificent book, and be interviewed in the section devoted to French Rottweilers. 2004 : Ulka vom Cäsarenkamp, first and only French Rottweiler posing for the Official Poster of the ADRK Klubsiegerzuchtschau. Interview for the Finnish Rottweiler Club's magazine, october 2005. In a section devoted to foreign breeders, I was honored to be interviewed after such famous breeders as Kiene Zandbergen (Ter Waele, Netherlands), Guy Verschatse (vom Schloss Hexental, Belgium) and Oliver Neubrand (vom Hause Neubrand, Germany). 2005 : seminar in Shanghai, China, along with Guy Verschatse. Various demos on the field, and three fundamental lectures for the Chinese enthusiasts : "Building a kennel foundation", "Collecting reliable data", "The keys to successful imports". And what a joy for us to see "our" exports again, and their offspring : Ben vom Schloss Hexental for Guy (Konnenstolz En-Dee x Patia du Troisième Oeil), and Sandy vom Cäsarenkamp for me (Eik vom Duracher Tobel x Nam de l'Etang d'Illhaeusern). 2006 : seminar in Thurrock, UK. Organized by the British Rottweiler Sports Dog Club, this seminar was devoted to The Future of Continental Bloodlines in the UK , and gathered breeders from all over the country so as to exchange views on the future of their selection in the "new" PetPassport era. The program allows UK enthusiasts to travel almost freely outside the UK with their dogs, hence facilitating outside breedings and importing, as well as new competition prospects without quarantine. This relatively new situation offers exciting new possibilities for UK Rottweiler fans who felt they needed fresh views on the subject.
