In the dog sports community, many professionals are passionate about preserving and promoting working dogs and their sports. Here, some supporters of K9andSports share their motivations.
Klaus-Jürgen Glüh (FCI Commission, VDH Working Dogs Commission):
“Dog sports with working dogs are my passion, and as an official it is important to keep in touch with the athletes.”
Horst-Dieter Träger (K9-and-Sports ambassador, retired service dog handler, performance judge, winner of SV LG elimination):
"Through my commitment, I want to preserve dog sports with working dogs and bring them closer to the public. I want to show that through our testing, selection and breeding we make a significant contribution to providing reliable and resilient dogs for authorities (such as the military, customs, police, etc.)."
Daniele Strazzieri (SV Vice President):
"I support K9 because I share the same goals: preserving working dog sports and the characteristics of working dogs, and promoting cooperation among all dog sports enthusiasts. K9 is committed to promoting these goals across different organizations."
Patricia Knabl (K9-and-Sports organizer and IQ-Dogsport):
"I put a lot of energy into K9andSports because I love working dogs and dog sports. I am convinced that this sport can grow and make many people and dogs happy if we all work together in a modern and transparent way. If we don't do that, we will sacrifice everything faster than we think!"
Dr. Erwin Lammennett (K9-and-Sports ambassador, dog sportsman, specialist book author, economist):
"It's time for us dog sports enthusiasts to stop talking badly about each other and instead work together, across organizational boundaries, toward a common goal. K9andSports sets standards here, which is why I recently joined this initiative. If we don't take this approach, dog sports as we know them today will no longer exist in ten years."
