IGP in Süd-Australien offiziell anerkannt – Ein wichtiger Meilenstein für die IGP-Gemeinschaft in ganz Australien
A milestone for IGP sport in Australia:
The government of South Australia has now explicitly excluded IGP dogs from the definition of "aggressively trained dogs." This recognizes that IGP is not a form of training that increases aggression, but rather a sport that promotes work ethic, discipline, and the well-being of both dogs and owners.
Diese Entscheidung ist das Ergebnis vieler engagierter Stimmen – insbesondere von Connie Bonaros, die für Fairness, Aufklärung und fundierte Entscheidungen gekämpft hat. Ein wichtiger Schritt für den IGP-Sport, für den Tierschutz und für das Miteinander von Hunden, Haltern und der Öffentlichkeit.
