2005 Ifr

[Hainland]

There is some discussion about the 2005 IFR. I would like to clarify some of those things.
First: The IFR World Championship will be November 18-20, 2005. The location will be Clermont, Florida; just west of Orlando. We have secured tracking, stadium and a wonderful host hotel. The stadium and hotel are within walking distance. Actually, if you get a room on the correct side of the hotel, you could watch the competition without leaving your room.
We are eagerly pursuing sponsors. We welcome all and would love to hear from all interested in sponsoring or being a part of this event.
Second: This World Championship will be the first of it's kind, allowing support at the IPO I and II levels. There will be a minimum qualification for this, as we would like to have the largest working Rottweiler event to date. We are in the building stages of our website and soon will have all information listed. www.2005IFR.com

Third: The qualification has been the same since 1999. To date, it has not changed. There is talk of a single qualification trial hosted indepently, but has not been determined. Pay attention, please.....The AWDF, North American and DVG Nationals are qualifying trials, of course, along with the USRC and ARV Schtuzhund Nationals. The AWDF, NA and DVG are much more involved Nationals and raise a higher standard. These events have 3 judges and many more entries. Keep all of these in mind.

You may direct any questions regarding the IFR to me. Questions about qualification should go to Peter Piusz, ARC.

Can you tell some of us that don't speak "Working Dog" what the IFR is and what types of competition is involved?
Also - the name of the host hotel and how many people you would expect at such an event?

Thanks in advance.

If you read the above posted link by Hainland, you will see the competition is IPO (very similar to Sch H)

Do you expect that this minimum qualification for I & II levels would require a National event (which would leave out NA) or perhaps a qualifying score???

Looking forward to a great event!!!!

You can count on some support from us, Amanda. I think this is a great thing. I've got a little tuning up to do in the meantime.

The IFR is the International Federation of Rottweilers. It has member countries from all over the world and is devoted to the Rottweiler breed. Conferences and competitions and a sharing of information for the common good.

This is awesome, Amanda...

What Muck said. Let me know if you need anything!


(Dampie, you can room with me.... LOL)

[Hainland]

I will post host hotel information soon. While it's hard to say, we are expecting between 50-60 entries. In Spain this year, we were approached by most all of the attending countries, saying they would be here.

As for qualification for the IPOI and II levels, we are going to require a minimal score, only. We hope to encourage people to participate and bring awareness to this event.

Don't worry Poohbearsmom and Muckdogs, we will be asking for help from your group.
Thanks!

Sorry if I missed anything........feel free to ask again, if I did.
