(F\u00e9d\u00e9ration Cynologique Internationale) and Honorary President of the VDH (German Kennel Club), Mr. Uwe Fischer.\u00a0 He then introduces himself and the participants at the inaugural meeting.\u00a0<\/p>\n Mr. Jesinghausen gives a quick review of the origins of the breed and the KlM Club in Germany since 1877 and explains the historical developments up until today.\u00a0 Today, the Kleine M\u00fcnsterl\u00e4nder is appreciated by hunters as a competent versatile hunting dog.\u00a0 The KlM Club has about 5,000 members and registers about 1,000 puppies annually in the breed book.\u00a0 This makes the club the third largest pointing dog breed club in Germany.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n \nOrganization of hunting dogs in Germany<\/p>\n The different breeds are supervised by breed clubs which keep a stud book of the breed. \u00a0The authority for this thus lies with the breed clubs. \u00a0Two umbrella organizations (the VDH and the JGHV–Jagdgebrauchshundverband) standardize the judging:\u00a0 the VDH for judging breed standards and the JGHV for the judging of performance utility.\u00a0 Furthermore, the JGHV determines the basic test regulations for all pointing dog breeds and thereby creates comparable test results.\u00a0 In addition, the breed clubs can create supplementary breed-specific test regulations. \u00a0 The KlM Club consists of 16 largely independent regional clubs (\u201cLandesgruppen\u201d), which have between 100 and 600 members.\u00a0 The central standards and rules of the national club (Bundesverband) must, however, be observed.\u00a0 The Executive Board consists of President, Vice President, Secretary, Treasurer and Breed Warden.\u00a0 The keeper of the breed book, the press secretary, the chairperson of the breed commission and the chairperson of the honorary council are added to the executive committee.\u00a0 Five working groups deal with the individual special fields, one of which is the working group International Contacts whose chairperson is Dr. J\u00fcrgen B\u00f6hm.<\/p>\n Each Landesgruppe independently conducts tests and breed shows.\u00a0 In the Spring, natural ability tests are held for the young dogs from the previous year.\u00a0 At these tests, natural abilities are evaluated; performance is tested first in the Fall at the HZP.\u00a0 The master test is the VGP which tests 24 subjects over 2 days.\u00a0 In addition, there are many special tests, for example in the area of search.\u00a0 Once a year the KlM club organizes a national test (Bundespr\u00fcfung) at which the best dogs from all of the Landesgruppen, as well as from abroad, are to be tested.\u00a0Usually, a national breed show is held in conjunction with the national test and is conducted using the rules of the F.C.I. and the VDH.<\/p>\n From the German perspective, the goals of an international organization are:<\/p>\n In order to achieve these goals, all need a shared exchange of experiences, improved information for breeders and handlers, better cooperation in international breeding as well as the importing and exporting of KlM.\u00a0 Jointly held events for consultation in questions of breeding, testing, organization and training are important.\u00a0 A common international breed book or register with minimum standards of the KlM breed would be a great step forward on the way to a shared future.\u00a0 On this path we need a strong international partner:\u00a0the F.C.I.\u00a0 This organization is offering us a cooperation agreement, the signing of which is strongly recommended.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n This weekend, the organizational, personnel and financial requirements should be discussed and decided upon if possible.\u00a0 The Annual Meeting of the KlM-D Club has already decided to make available start-up capital of 10,000 Euro for the development of the international club.\u00a0As a basis for future international work, Mr. Jesinghausen wishes many years of good personal contacts, constructive discussions and friendly collaboration.\u00a0 <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Mr. Fischer reports that Germany is the only country in the world in which the authority for breeding lies in the hands of the breed clubs.\u00a0 This appears to him to be the best system, because a breed club is in a much better position to establish rules which preserve and improve a breed than a higher level body.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Already in 1992 other breed clubs established international clubs which was received with skepticism at first by the F.C.I.\u00a0 After great difficulties in the beginning, cooperation agreements between F.C.I. and interested clubs are possible today, but only if the breed\u2019s country of origin creates the international club.\u00a0 In the cooperation agreement, the international guarantee of the required performance characteristics and the health standards for a breed are defined.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The KlM too must be a global player in the future, in order to manage the challenges of the years ahead.\u00a0 A willingness to compromise is one of the most important requirements for an international club.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Mr. Fischer reports of positive experiences in other international clubs with important success in the area of health (blue Dobermann).\u00a0Breed evaluations are a good means of help for experienced breeders, but they are not an instrument to manage the breed.\u00a0He explains the limits of the breed evaluation using the example of the experiences in the fight against HD in the Hovawart breed.<\/p>\n An international breed book is endorsed by Mr. Fischer, but only in agreement with KlM-I. \u00a0<\/p>\n Mr. Eising asks about the possibility for an American club to receive F.C.I. recognition through membership in the international club. \u00a0Tom McDonald will speak to the AKC in the U.S.A.\u00a0 Mr. Fischer promises that this probably can be solved.\u00a0<\/p>\n Hereafter, the individual representatives introduce their clubs.\u00a0<\/p>\n <\/p>\n France<\/u>:<\/p>\n Bernard Brenuchon reports that the SCC is the umbrella organization and the CU the sub-organization for hunting dogs, whereas the umbrella organization directs all clubs and keeps a central breed book. \u00a0His club has 393 members, KlM, GM and DL.\u00a0 In 2005, 370 KlM puppies, 1 GM puppy and 22 DL puppies were registered.\u00a0 Almost 95% of the puppies are delivered to hunters.\u00a0 <\/p>\n The Netherlands:<\/u> As a performance review, there is a natural ability test, at which non-hunting KlMs can also be tested.\u00a0 Sweden:<\/u> Switzerland:<\/u><\/p>\n Urs Hoppler reports that the SKG is the umbrellas organization which also issues pedigrees.\u00a0 His club, the SKMV, has existed for 80 years.\u00a0 Today it has about 235 members, an increase of about 20 per year. \u00a0There were 17 puppies in Spring 2006 and probably 23 puppies for the entire year 2006. \u00a0The demand for KlM cannot be covered in Switzerland.\u00a0 95% of the Kleine M\u00fcnsterl\u00e4nder are used in hunting.\u00a0 As animal protection laws in Switzerland prohibit tests with living animals, there are only tests like the Btr, VPS and tracking. \u00a0 \nUSA:<\/u> <\/p>\n Conformation is awarded on the basis of photos.\u00a0 There are no breed judges in the USA. \u00a0Size, bite, etc. are checked by veterinarians.\u00a0An examination for HD is also done in the same way.\u00a0 The American club currently has 370 members and 130 puppies in 2004.\u00a0 A database contains information about approximately 2,400 dogs.\u00a0 Three years ago there was a large survey about health, and the data is accessible to every member of the club.\u00a0 The club issues its own pedigrees.\u00a0 <\/p>\n Austria:<\/u> Petra Buba notes that all are concerned with the similar questions and problems. \u00a0His club looks after the long-haired pointing dog breeds (DL, GM and KlM). \u00a0The club has about 700 members, of whom 220 have DL, 330 KlM and 150 GM.\u00a0 90-95% of all puppies are sold to hunters.\u00a0 One problem is that the simple hunter has little interest in presenting their dogs at tests and breed shows.\u00a0<\/p>\n About 20-25 litters with about 150-170 puppies are registered annually.\u00a0 The stud dog must have a VGP and the conformation score SG.\u00a0 HD is tolerated up to level 2, as long as the bitch has level 0.<\/p>\n The Czech test regulations emphasize training, while the German and Austrian test system places greater emphasis on natural abilities.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The national clubs represented today represent about 9,500 KlM members and look after about 2,500 puppies annually.\u00a0 This results in an excellent basis for the cooperative development of the KlM breed.<\/p>\n \u25cf Breed and performance level<\/u>\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n Mr. Jesinghausen points out that minimum standards must be formulated in order to make an international breed book possible. \u00a0The following should be regulated:<\/p>\n In order to be able to define minimum standards, first the standards of the individual countries must be gathered and compared.\u00a0 For this, it is necessary to send the business office of the international club (KlM-I) the following sets of rules, preferably in a German translation:<\/p>\n \n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n If the performance levels of all countries joining the international club were compared, then an international test could perhaps be designed.\u00a0 <\/p>\n Also, international support in the education and training of breed judges could make sense.\u00a0 <\/p>\n Date: \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 May 21, 2006 Opening and greeting by Mr. Jesinghausen.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Mr. Jesinghausen underscores the significance of a common registration of the dogs (breed book), taking into account breed standards, health and minimum requirements for the level of hunting abilities.\u00a0<\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u00a0<\/strong>Organizational questions<\/u><\/p>\n <\/p>\n The meeting agrees to coordinate the following activities in the next two years:<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/u><\/p>\n Financial questions<\/p>\n <\/u><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n The meeting unanimously elects Bernd-Dieter Jesinghausen (Germany) as President, Cor Bottenheft (Netherlands) and Henrik Anderson (Denmark) as Vice Presidents as well as Dr. J\u00fcrgen B\u00f6hm (Germany) as Business Manager of the international club KlM, at the suggestion of the President. \u00a0<\/p>\n In addition to the club by-laws, all founding members signed the presented model cooperation agreement with the F.C.I. <\/p>\n The event was concluded at 11 a.m.\u00a0<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n

\nOrganization of the KlM Club:<\/u><\/p>\n\n
\n
\nCor Bottenheft reports that the Dutch Heidewachtel club was founded 60 years ago.\u00a0 The Dutch Kennel Club keeps the breed book in which all puppies with a pedigree are entered.\u00a0 \u00a0Today the Heidewachtel club has about 1,100 members.\u00a0About 225 puppies are bred annually, about 50% for hunters.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\n\u00a0<\/p>\n
\nThomas Oloffson passes out a few member magazines of his club and explains that he is new to the club and has a lot to learn.\u00a0In Sweden there is also an umbrella club for all breeds, which also establishes the rules. \u00a0In addition, there are small organizations, which normally look after several breeds.\u00a0 His organization is in charge of DK, Viszla, GM and KlM.\u00a0 The club has 2,700 members, of which 500 are KlM.\u00a0 About 200 KlM puppies are registered annually.\u00a0 There are indeed no binding rules for breeding, but tests for performance comparisons are offered.<\/p>\n
\n\u00a0
\nDenmark:<\/u>
\nHenrik Raae Andersen reports that his club has existed since 1968 and has about 800 members today.\u00a0 About 200-300 KlM puppies are registered annually.\u00a0 HD is examined and about 95% of the examined KlM are either free from HD or borderline cases at the most.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\nTom McDonald reports that his club was founded 20 years ago.\u00a0 In 1971 the first KlM were imported and the first litter was born in the middle of the 1970\u2019s. Nine years ago, rules were introduced which oriented themselves in large part on the rules of the German club.\u00a0 Hunting tests are conducted, similar to the VJP and HZP.\u00a0 The water work is especially important, as well as drags and pointing.\u00a0 The latter is tested usually on planted feathered game.\u00a0 Tracking isnot tested.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\nGeorg Bellowitsch reports that the breed club was founded in 1938, at that time together with the DL. \u00a0In 1964 the DL split off, so from this time the breed club looks after the GM and KlM.\u00a0 The club is divided into a national headquarters and three regions (East, South and West) which are relatively independent.\u00a0 The \u00d6JGV (\u00d6sterreichischer Jagdgebrauchshundeverein) maintains the breed book.\u00a0 The M\u00fcnsterl\u00e4nder Club has about 854 members, of which 130 are GM.\u00a0In the case of KlM, there are about 15-20 litters per year with about 150 puppies.\u00a0 With GM there are 7-9 litters with 70-90 puppies.\u00a0 All puppies are sold only to hunters, as specified in the statutes.\u00a0 Two natural ability tests and three field and water tests are conducted.\u00a0 In addition, there are Btr and special blood tracking tests.\u00a0Breeding is possible only after passed field-water tests.\u00a0 A national breed show and regional breed shows take place.\u00a0
