Dear Ladies and Gentlemen,
Dear dog sportsmen and women,
on behalf of the DVG Mecklenburg-Vorpommern Regional Association, I would like to welcome you all to this year’s FCI World Championship for Tracking dogs.
The FCI World Tracking Championship has a very long tradition within the FCI. Once a year, the best human-dog teams compete for the world championship title. My best greetings to all qualified teams.
The Dog Sports Club Güstrow has already hosted several state championships and national championships. We all remember many of these for their excellent organization. The best, however, is the organization of a world championship. In order to hold such an event in a worthy setting, the dog sports club Güstrow needs to work unselfishly not only during the event but also well in advance. A special mention should be made of the commitment of sports fans Torsten Schmidt and Mario Lenz, who made this event possible in the first place.
Unfortunately, nowadays it is no longer a matter of course to be there for others unselfishly, so the commitment of all volunteers, especially the HSV Güstrow e.V., is all the more commendable. But this would not be enough if farmers, hunting tenants and sponsors did not support the organizers. I would like to express my sincere thanks on behalf of the entire regional association.
