Eve and I are proud to announce the most wonderful win in our 28-year history with
our beloved Rottweilers: This past weekend in Buenos Aires, Argentina, hundreds of
Rottweiler Friends and over 300 dogs came together from virtually every part of the
world to celebrate the IFR'S (INTERNATIONAL FEDERATION OF ROTTWEILER FRIENDS)
FIRST WORLD SHOW! IFR 2008-Campeonato Mundial Argentina. The host club was the
ACRR-- it's President, Vinicio Italo Di Paolo, and the club members-- presented a
flawless show filled with hospitality based on friendship and love. We are very proud
and honored to be a part of this International Family of Rottweiler Friends!

The judges were some of the best Rottweiler Experts in the world. The Distinguished
President of the IFR, Dieter Hoffmann, world-renowned for his many years as an ADRK
judge and his judging emphasis on Rottweiler breed type and soundness. Equally
impressive in his work as a judge, Vice President of the IFR, and President of the
famous Belgium Rottweiler Club, Dirk Vandercastelle, who brought a great balance to
the judging by his continued emphasis on movement, structure and their overall impact
on the Rottweiler as a Working Breed. No judge could have provided a better fit for
this show than the Head Breed Warden for the ADRK and owner of "Vom Wilden Westen"
kennel, Edgar Hellmann. It was truly an honor to listen to the judging critiques of
the dogs and learn so much about the Rottweiler breed from these gentlemen.
Only the IFR can bring together so many
Rottweiler friends in spirit and in competition
from all over the world. We were extremely blessed to have Djuke vom Vilstaler Land win
Best Male, Most Beautiful Male and Best In Show at such a prestigious event. Of all his
many Sieger titles throughout the world, this is the one we value most. The most beautiful
part of the show was when hundreds of exhibitors, their children, and friends spent hours
posing with their arms around Djuke, Djuke proved that he is not just our son but belongs
to all Rottweiler friends around the world. God gave Djuke to Michael, he gave Djuke to
Eve and I, and we now give Djuke to all Rottweiler Friends.
We would ask all Rottweiler Friends to visit the IFR website and learn more about this
wonderful gift to the world. It is the only organization in the world that can bring
Rottweiler Friends from every country together and treat them as equals. The IFR represents
the epitome of the Rottweiler through the FCI Standard for the Rottweiler -- the world
standard -- and is the only organization capable of ensuring the survival of the Rottweiler
for future generations to enjoy.
Peace and Have the Best Day of Your Life!
