greets those present and introduces each guest by name. \u00a0He welcomes as a guest Mr. Karl Wichmann, the chairperson of the Gro\u00dfe M\u00fcnsterl\u00e4nder Club, with whom there is a close relationship and who was involved in the development of the International M\u00fcnsterl\u00e4nder Test. \u00a0Mr. Jesinghausen excuses the representatives of France and Sweden as well as Dr. B\u00f6hm. \u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The agenda is approved.\u00a0 The minutes from July 26, 2008 are approved.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Activity reports of the Executive Board with subsequent discussion<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>\u2192 Mr. Jesinghausen<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Through activities of the Executive Board and the members of KlM-I, contacts have been deepened and the flow of information and exchanges of experiences have increased in the last two years.\u00a0 Internationality is growing slowly but steadily.\u00a0 The Landesgruppen of KlM-D have worked more intensively with their neighbors.\u00a0 On the other hand, the Czech Republic and Austria have organized breed shows and IVGPs (international VGP) in which foreign handlers participated.\u00a0 Swiss contact to the Landesgruppe Baden has been deepened.\u00a0 German judges have attended a breed show in France and judged there too. \u00a0The Landesgruppe Rheinland conducted a training session in Holland and attended the breed show.\u00a0 In Denmark the German test system (VJP and HZP) was introduced, thereby creating future comparability in the area of performance.\u00a0 Dr. B\u00f6hm gave a lecture in Stockholm about the German testing system and deepened contacts in Sweden.<\/p>\n<p>In 2009 the Executive Board of KlM-I met twice and in 2010 once, in order to exchange common experiences and initiate and evaluate activities.\u00a0Here it must be noted that a few initiatives came to nothing, for example, bringing together breed wardens from the KlM-I member countries on the occasion of the conference of KlM-D breed wardens.\u00a0 The offer of training sessions and the development of an international catalog of stud dogs have not yet encountered any great interest.\u00a0 On the other hand, other topics were taken up and progress was made, for example, on the topic of testing.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>In the past, the focus of shared activities was on breed shows.\u00a0 Mr. Jesinghausen emphasized at this point, that the breeding of hunting dogs does not consist only of breed shows, but above all in securing dependable qualities of a hunting dog and performance.\u00a0 The national testing conditions are as different as hunting traditions.\u00a0 The current international relationships thus point to a uniform system of breed shows, while the testing systems are different.\u00a0 Mr. Jesinghausen points out that over 50% of KlM puppies abroad per year are bred according to differing performance criteria.\u00a0 Viewed in the long term, the danger thus exists that the breed KlM will drift apart at the performance level.\u00a0 Due to differing hunting traditions, but also because of different legal conditions in the area of animal protection, a few countries view the KlM as a pointing dog, and others see the breed as a complete utility dog before and after the shot.\u00a0 A distinction in the breeding of well-rounded utility dogs and the breeding of pointing dogs should be avoided.\u00a0 In the next 100 years of breeding the KlM should be preserved instead as a full utility dog, although in its hunting activities the breed can specialize according to the differing hunting conditions.\u00a0 In order to reach this goal, international exchange through cross-border breeding with the appropriate transparency is important, for example, in the question of which dogs are being used as stud dogs abroad.\u00a0 Secondly, the development of an international testing system with international performance judges, analogous to the breed judging, is important.\u00a0 This topic has been set in motion, because the club breed test regulations are to be revised in 2012.\u00a0 As the Kleine and Gro\u00dfe M\u00fcnsterl\u00e4nder did not want to wait so long, an International M\u00fcnsterl\u00e4nder Test with an international M\u00fcnsterl\u00e4nder performance judging system was developed by a working group of both breeds.\u00a0 Four years ago, a cooperation agreement between KlM-I and the F.C.I. was signed, although since then not much has happened.\u00a0 Letters remain unanswered, and there is no cooperation between the F.C.I. and the international breed clubs in practice.<\/p>\n<p>Nevertheless, it is important to define the key elements of a breed, beyond the physical norm.\u00a0 KlM-I has also developed the KlM-I certificate as a proof of quality.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Pedigrees from SMCNA (Small Musterl\u00e4nder Club of North America) are not recognized in Europe. \u00a0SMCNA does not wish to join the AKC, as this organization does not conduct any performance breeding.\u00a0 In the meantime, however, these pedigrees are recognized by the F.C.I. on the basis of a cooperation agreement between F.C.I. and the AKC.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>With the help of the VDH (German Kennel Club), KlM-D wanted to issue pedigrees for SMCNA in the name of KlM-I. \u00a0An application along these lines remains unanswered by the F.C.I. to date.\u00a0 In addition, there is still a risk that these pedigrees will not receive a Certification for Foreign Countries in Europe and then these dogs may not be used for breeding or testing in Europe.\u00a0 For this reason KlM-D has offered SMCNA to include SMCNA as a Landesgruppe of KlM-D, whereby SMCNA would retain its independence and could remain a member of KlM-I.\u00a0 As a Landesgruppe of KlM-D, SMCNA must become of member of the JGHV and thereby accept all the rules and test regulations of the JGHV.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Mr. Jesinghausen thanks all for their commitment and for the personal collaboration.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u2192 Mr. Andersen<\/p>\n<p>Due to the differences in the member countries of KlM-I about which game can be hunted, hunting tradition and the legal framework conditions, partially differing requirements of the Kleine M\u00fcnsterl\u00e4nder have emerged.\u00a0 For this reason, the tests are also different in each country and in some countries more oriented toward field work.\u00a0 But the Kleine M\u00fcnsterl\u00e4nder is a versatile hunting dog.\u00a0 Therefore, it is very important that KlM-I is a strong community, with the goal to preserve and promote the Kleine M\u00fcnsterl\u00e4nder as a versatile hunting dog by means of national and international breeding.\u00a0This will still take a long time, because of the different conditions as well as the language and geographical problems.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Norway<\/strong>has sought admission this year.\u00a0 The Executive Board has already approved the application and the vote of the Annual Meeting will take place today.\u00a0 The representative of NMLK (NORSK M\u00dcNSTERL\u00c4NDER KLUBB) Mr. Atle Johannesen is present today. \u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The contact with SVK in <strong>Sweden<\/strong>should be improved.\u00a0 The Vice President of SVK has participated in two seminars on the Association Youth Test (VJP) and the Association Fall Breed Test (HZP) in Denmark.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Attempts to contact <strong>Finland<\/strong>have been unanswered so far.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Mr. Andersen thanks Dr. B\u00f6hm, who supported the VJP and HZP seminars in <strong>Denmark<\/strong>.\u00a0 Mr. Andersen has been the President of the FJD umbrella association for all pointing dog breeds in Denmark since 2009.\u00a0 All continental pointing dog breeds have given their consent to the introduction of the natural ability tests (VJP, HZP).\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u2192 Mr. Bottenheft<\/p>\n<p>Mr. Bottenheft reports about historical-based, great differences in hunting in Western Europe.\u00a0 For this reason, the areas of activity of hunting dogs also differ in the individual countries.\u00a0 Hunting dogs are trained differently, and there are differences in the tests.\u00a0 Mr. Bottenheft has visited a few clubs in the past two years and can report about it.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>In <strong>Belgium<\/strong>Mr. Bottenheft was a guest at a hunting dog test. \u00a0The test is divided into two levels, Basic (with water work, gun sensitivity, retrieving a duck on land, obedience) and Training (search and retrieve of a duck in cover and in the water and marked retrieve).\u00a0 In addition, Belgium organizes F.C.I. Field Trials.\u00a0 The membership numbers in Belgium are growing.\u00a0 Pedigrees are issued by the umbrella association.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>In <strong>France<\/strong>Mr. Bottenheft attended a breed show and a TAN test, which is a natural ability test recognized by the French umbrella association.\u00a0 The TAN consists of a field search with great emphasis on pointing ability and retrieval of a duck from the water.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>In <strong>Luxembourg<\/strong>Mr. Bottenheft visited Jean Claude Grangenet, the individual responsible for pointing dogs in the Centrale du Chien de Chasse (CCC = a club for all hunting dog breeds, there are no breed clubs) and representative of the F.C.I.\u00a0The club has 500 members, of which 75 have Kleine M\u00fcnsterl\u00e4nder.\u00a0 One to two litters are born each year.\u00a0 Luxembourg\u2019s Kennel Club issues pedigrees. \u00a0The CCC organizes VJP, HZP and VGP tests.\u00a0 At present, the CCC has no interest in KlM-I, but Mr. Bottenheft maintains contact. \u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>In <strong>Spain and Portugal<\/strong>there are a few Kleine M\u00fcnsterl\u00e4nder, but from 2001-2008 there was only one Kleine M\u00fcnsterl\u00e4nder registered with the Kennel Club.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>In <strong>Great Britain<\/strong>there is a small KlM club, but in 2007 and 2008 no KlM were registered with the Kennel Club.\u00a0 Mr. Bottenheft maintains contact with a club representative.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>In the <strong>Netherlands<\/strong>the cooperation with the umbrella associations (Kennel Clubs) is good. \u00a0The exchange of information on puppies born and their owners is taking place.\u00a0 In order to avoid illicit breeding and the illegal import of dogs, Dutch breeders shall be certified in the future.\u00a0 This development is delayed due to a lawsuit at the Dutch cartel office.\u00a0 The result is that now more than one breed club per breed can exist, which can theoretically develop their own breed regulations. A discussion about this has arisen.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>In summary, a task of KlM-I is to promote communalities in spite of differences in hunting, traditions and legislation.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Financial Report<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The financial report for 2008\/2009 and the beginning of 2010 was handed out to all participants. \u00a0Mr. Jesinghausen noted that the balance in 2010 would amount to about 34.000 \u20ac, if all member countries would have paid their membership dues.\u00a0 There is no more discussion about the financial report.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>As per the founding minutes of KlM-I, it was decided that the membership fee, which is determined on the basis of the membership status of the preceding year (1 \u20ac\/national member), is due at the beginning of the calendar year.\u00a0 Since this decision has proved impractical, Mr. Jesinghausen proposes a change in payment processing.\u00a0 The Business Manager sends a letter at year\u2019s end, in which she requests the membership numbers and the desired payment terms (dues paid once per year or in two installments).\u00a0 In a second step, the Business Manager sends an invoice for the total amount in the first quarter or, in the case of installment payments, in the first and third quarters, each for half of the amount.\u00a0 This approach will be decided unanimously.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Discharge of the Executive Board<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The Executive Board is discharged with the affected parties abstaining from the vote. <\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Reports and information from the member countries <\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Atle Johannsen reports about the NORSK M\u00dcNSTERL\u00c4NDER KLUBB in <strong>Norway<\/strong>.\u00a0 The club was founded in 1972.\u00a0 The club has 350 members, Kleine und Gro\u00dfe M\u00fcnsterl\u00e4nder.\u00a0 Mr. Johannsen estimates a population of about 500 KlM and 70 GM. \u00a0About 50-70 puppies are born per year.\u00a0 The Chairperson is named Harald Bruflot and Mr. Johannsen is the Deputy Chairperson and international contact.\u00a0 Die umbrella association is called Norsk Kennel Klub (NKK).\u00a0 All \u201cGroup 7 clubs\u201d are combined in the Fuglehundklubbenes Forbund (FKF) with a special breed, testing and judging system.\u00a0In a shared magazine each club has its own page.\u00a0 In the course of a year the club offers numerous activities:\u00a0 an annual membership meeting, breed show, training and testing.\u00a0 The KlM in Norway are used for bird hunting (grouse in the mountains), for hunting in the forest and search.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Tom McDonald reports about the <strong>USA<\/strong>, and that he completed the training as a breed judge last year.\u00a0 The development of breed judges is making progress.\u00a0 For breedevaluations, five breed judges are available.\u00a0 A major problem is the great distances, so that no central breed show can take place. \u00a0The evaluation is done by video while the dogs are stationary and in motion.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Nanda Adriaansen reports about <strong>Belgium<\/strong>. In the Belgian KlM club there are many members who are non-hunters.\u00a0 Thus, the club organizes family walks in addition to hunting tests and breed shows.\u00a0Contact to the umbrella association is difficult, because the umbrella association does not pass on any information about numbers of puppies and puppy buyers.<\/p>\n<p>Peter H\u00fcbler reports on <strong>Austria<\/strong>.\u00a0 The cooperation between \u00d6KV (\u00d6kologischer Kynologen Verband), \u00d6JGV (\u00d6sterreichischer Jagdgebrauchshunde-verein), and \u00d6VM\u00dc (\u00d6sterreichischer Verein f\u00fcr Gro\u00dfe und Kleine M\u00fcnsterl\u00e4nder\u2014Austrian Club for Gro\u00dfe and Kleine M\u00fcnsterl\u00e4nder) is working very well.\u00a0The \u00d6VM\u00dc is the second largest breed club with 900 members, of which 2\/3 have Kleine M\u00fcnsterl\u00e4nder and 1\/3 Gro\u00dfe M\u00fcnsterl\u00e4nder.\u00a0 The club is divided into three regions:\u00a0 East, South and West.\u00a0 The natural ability tests were very well attended.\u00a0 In the Fall, performance tests will be conducted in each of the three regions.\u00a0At the VGP, the search in pairs shall be introduced, without evaluation by points, in order to see if the dogs are able to hunt with other dogs, as at a real hunt. \u00a0With the field and water tests, in the future there will no longer be a division by age.\u00a0 At the end of the year, the acting Vice President and Managing Director will resign, as well as the regional chairperson East.\u00a0 In 2012 new elections will take place, so that a restructuring can be counted on.\u00a0 A major topic is animal protection and work on a live duck.\u00a0 The club supports the scientific work of the college of veterinary medicine on this topic.\u00a0 Siblings will be familiarized with and without a live duck.\u00a0 This experiment shall demonstrate how important training with a live duck is.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Cor Bottenheft reports on the <strong>Netherlands<\/strong>.\u00a0The member count is dropping.\u00a0 In the Netherlands a hunt test similar to actual hunting was organized together with other breeds.\u00a0 70 dogs participated.\u00a0There were no test regulations.\u00a0 Work after the shot, as drags, water work and retrieving.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Urs Hopper reports on <strong>Switzerland<\/strong>. \u00a0The Swiss Club for Kleine M\u00fcnsterl\u00e4nder \u2013 Vorstehhunde is an independent breed club.\u00a0In Switzerland the other pointing dog breeds are joined together in one pointing dog club. \u00a0The Kleine M\u00fcnsterl\u00e4nder want to remain independent.\u00a0 Currently, the Schweizer Club f\u00fcr Kleine M\u00fcnsterl\u00e4nder has about 230 members and is still growing. \u00a0The Board consists of seven members.\u00a0 The business office is led jointly by Urs Hopper and Ernst Krebs.\u00a0There are four get-togethers plus meetings at the tests.\u00a0 In Switzerland there are 12 active breeders and about 20-25 puppies per year.\u00a0 The demand for puppies is very good and the demand cannot be met by domesticate supply, so that each year 6-10 puppies are bought in Germany and Austria.\u00a0 Because the animal protection law in Switzerland forbids work on live game, handlers test in Germany in the bordering Landesgruppen.\u00a0 Mr. Hopper expresses thanks for the good collaboration.\u00a0Traditionally, Switzerland organizes a blood tracking test and a retrieving test.\u00a0 Obedience tests (heeling on leash, gun sensitivity) are offered.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>About 20 members belong to the Schweizer Kynologischen Vereinigung.\u00a0 If a non-hunter buys a hunting dog, they commit themselves to work with the dog in an alternative fashion, for example, as a tracking or rescue dog. \u00a0With the umbrella association new breeding regulations were worked out.\u00a0 The Swiss want to breed with dogs which have performed.\u00a0For this purpose, the HZP or the VGP must be passed.\u00a0 Breed dogs must be HD free.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Ji\u0159i Kec reports on the <strong>Czech Republic<\/strong>.\u00a0 Mr. Walter Ullrich supports him as an interpreter.\u00a0 His club has existed since 1935 and looks after the long-haired pointing dogs in the Czech Republic, the Gro\u00dfe und Kleine M\u00fcnsterl\u00e4nder and the Deutsch-Langhaar.\u00a0 700 members belong to the club, of which about 250-300 are Kleine M\u00fcnsterl\u00e4nder (about 150-200 puppies per year).\u00a0 The Club has many years of experience in organizing international tests.\u00a0 Three breed shows are organized per year.\u00a0 For the second time a Youth Test following the Czech and German test regulations was organized and evaluated this year.\u00a0 The findings are integrated into the breeding.\u00a0In the Czech Republic the requirements for breed dogs are set at a high level.\u00a0 Breeding bitches must have passed at least an HZP or a versatility test similar to the VGP.\u00a0 The Czechs support the international organization, but have objections regarding the IMP test regulations.\u00a0 In their opinion, the work with the fox and the blood tracking does not correspond to practical experience.\u00a0 In the Czech Republic the search is done already after four hours.\u00a0 Peter Buba adds that for him the main thing is mutual understanding and shared activities.\u00a0 It bothers him, that foreign judges can be used only as guest judges.\u00a0 Peter Buba emphasizes that the Czech Republic would like to contribute at KlM-I.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>New Elections<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>New elections take place every four years.\u00a0The first

Jesinghausen submits the following proposal for criteria, which a country must fulfill to become a member of KlM-I:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>The club must be in a position to establish a breed base.<\/li>\n<li>About 50 puppies should be born per year in the club.<\/li>\n<li>The club must be in a position to conduct breed shows and hunting tests.<\/li>\n<li>Membership in the national hunting dog association.<\/li>\n<li>The club should have about 100 members.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>These criteria must not be fulfilled immediately, but should be reached in the foreseeable future.\u00a0 He thus proposes the introduction of an candidate status for up to 5 years.\u00a0 During the candidate status the national KlM club will be invited and supported.\u00a0 The question remains to be clarified whether the dogs used be used for hunting.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The Annual Meeting decides on the wording \u201eeither 50 puppies or 100 members\u201c and gives consent to the proposal for new member criteria.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The Annual Meeting unanimously decides to admit the NORSK M\u00dcNSTERL\u00c4NDER KLUBB as a new member of KlM-I.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>International M\u00fcnsterl\u00e4nder Test<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Since different conditions exist in the member countries regarding the performance issue, a working group was formed two years ago to develop an International M\u00fcnsterl\u00e4nder Test which would create internationally comparable test regulations.\u00a0 In the period from November 11, 2008 to February 6, 2010, the Czech Republic, Austria, Germany, the Netherlands and France worked together in the working group.\u00a0 The Gro\u00dfe M\u00fcnsterl\u00e4nder also want to participate in the development of test regulations. \u00a0The concept and level of the test regulations were discussed for a long time.\u00a0 Because of differing hunting traditions and the legal framework in the member countries, there were different ideas about the extent of the test regulations.\u00a0 France wants test regulations based on an HZP, while the Czech Republic and Austria demand a higher level.\u00a0 Dogs which pass this test, shall fulfill the requirements for entry into the breed book of all member countries.\u00a0 As a requirement for admission to the IMP, the national breeding requirements must be fulfilled.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The draft document is now there for the participants.\u00a0The test regulations are divided into five areas:\u00a0 forest, water, field and obedience subjects and general qualities; and thereby mirror the versatile utility dog which can be used in a variety of situations.\u00a0 The test regulations shall be tested in the next three years.\u00a0 An interim report will be given at the next Annual Meeting.\u00a0 After conclusion of the test phase and a vote at the Annual Meeting, the test must be accredited by the F.C.I.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The Annual Meeting discusses the idea of developing the test in modular fashion into five modules.\u00a0 Each member country can offer the modules from these five which they want to organize and are legally allowed to organize.\u00a0 Due to the legal conditions, the test regulations are not workable in all of the member
