Message from the President

In 2018, we have continued to open and extend our membership even though the Extraordinary General Assembly approved stricter criteria for FCI affiliation. We are happy to count with a new contract partners: United Arab Emirates.

Our communication on social media has gained popularity and visibility. Our FB page and our new blog received many visitors all over the year. In our times, it is essential to be visible and show the world the benefits of purebred dogs.

Our Youth Group keeps working hard to ensure a bright future to our Federation. Youngsters are our future; let’s keep that in mind and work towards this objective. We “must” look attractive to the future generations!

Executive Director’s report

Dear FCI Members and Contract Partners,

Ermanno Maniero was an internationally recognised scientist and all-breed judge, who held a chair in several universities in Lima, Peru. He was a strong defender of the canine cause and of the FCI values, both in his teaching duties and in his KCP and FCI careers.

R.I.P dear Friend!

There may be more persons who passed away and for whom we were not notified; I apologise if I have failed to mention them! © Oleg Bochkov

Another year, 2018, is over … and it was a rich one, with its peak being the adoption by the FCI General Assembly of the new Statutes and Standing Orders on the occasion of the Extraordinary General Assembly celebrated in Brussels in August.

I find it respectful to open this brief report by paying tribute to a personality who left his mark on the FCI history and who sadly left us in 2018. We all met him at least once in our life, at a dog show or an FCI General Assembly. His name will remain linked to the FCI as he was active in our different bodies and in his national kennel clubs for decades: Ermanno Maniero (Peru), passed away last December. Ermanno was elected Despite all the bad publicity around the world of purebred dogs President of the FCI Americas and Caribbean Section in 1987 and the attempts from the “external” world to destabilise us, and entered the FCI General Committee, in this capacity, in 2018 was again a positive year for the FCI. Obviously, at a 1988. He sat in the FCI General Committee until 1995 and micro-scale, some members are experiencing hard times, was then elected as regular FCI General Committee member but seen from a macro-scale, the FCI, with its strong global until 1999. He also held the positions of President of the KCP membership, is doing well, thanks to the many activities (Peruvian canine organisation), President of the KCP’s Judges organised by its members and contract partners. Commission, member of the FCI Standards Commission and member of the FCI Show Judges Commission. He was made With a total of 1,258 international CACIB shows planned for an Honorary Member of the FCI by the FCI General Assembly the year in review (vs 1,252 in 2017), the number of those in Bratislava, 2009. events remains stable. However, the total number of dogs entered at shows in 2018 (several show catalogues and results have not yet been sent to the FCI Head Office) is, at the moment, 946,719 (as of April 11th, 2019) vs 1,039,119 in 2017 (complete figures). It seems, however, that like in 2017, a minor trend towards a decrease in participation will be confirmed. It will be interesting to have all the catalogues of the 2018 shows sent to the FCI to have a clear picture of the trends.

11 Chapter V Executive Director’s report Fédération Cynologique Internationale

The Section and World dog shows, depending on their location, • The FCI Head Office has carried on with its “visiting dogs” remain highly attractive events and we would like to underline campaign in two local institutions hosting people with light the efforts of the members which are granted the honour to mental disorders. It is very important to show how dogs can host these prestigious competitions. be useful to society. The residents of these institutions were also taken to working demonstrations by Newfoundlands.

World Europe Asia and Americas and Dog Show Section the Pacific Caribbean Show Section Show Section Show

Leipzig: Kiev: Shanghai: Guatemala: 2017 24,692 dogs 6,095 dogs 4,392 dogs 992 dogs

Amsterdam: Warsaw: Kuala Lumpur: Ceará: 2018 17,628 dogs 15,143 dogs 281 dogs 1,156 dogs

Let’s happily face the truth: breeders and exhibitors are fond of international titles, no matter what regions they are from. This year, the FCI Office confirmed 10,141 titles (beauty and working) vs 10,628 for 2017. Working titles have traditionally been less coveted, but reach an honourable level: 358 (vs 368 in 2017).

Our members organised a total of 2,279 trials (all disciplines together), slightly higher than 2016 (2,162 trials). The disciplines are the following: utility, tracking, obedience, agility, field-trials and hunting tests, racing, coursing and herding tests. We all know how difficult it is to find time to train your dogs for both, show and working abilities. This is a very encouraging result.

Finally, to end up with statistics, the FCI accepted and registered 19,471 kennel names (vs 22,580 in 2017). The difference is due to the fact that several FCI members sent their applications too late to be taken into consideration in the frame of this report.

The local rooting of the FCI and its Head Office remains of paramount importance. Years ago, we were granted by the City Hall of our city, the official title of “Thuin, World Capital of Dogs”. This means that we do our best to organise different dog-related activities in our area.

• The FCI Head Office also partnered with the « Université Libre de Bruxelles », where a lecture was given to students in Veterinarian Sciences.

• A not-for-profit organisation, dedicated to canine welfare was invited to hold a conference at the FCI Head Office, focusing on how to prevent dog bites. An approximate 40 people attended this very interesting conference.

12 Chapter V Executive Director’s report 2018 Annual report

Finally, for the third year in a row, the FCI Head Office, in cooperation with the the neighbour city of Montigny-le-Tilleul, organised the now traditional cynothon (walking or jogging with one’s dog on two distances, 5 or 10 km).

This year, the FCI Head Office was glad to host a meeting of the FCI General Committee early November.

We are happy to inform our members that the FCI headquarters renewed their agreement with Lufthansa Group Partner Airlines: a discount is granted on a huge number of flights for those who take part in canine events. Please do not hesitate to consult our website http://www.fci.be/en/2019-Official- Carrier-Programmes-2390.html)

We also encourage all of you to follow us on the following social networks: http://www.fci.be, https://www.facebook.com/ FederationCynologiqueInternationale and http://blog.fci.be

To end up, let me express my warmest thanks to the FCI General Committee members, the FCI members, to all the presidents of the FCI commissions and to our devoted FCI Staff for their good cooperation.

Best regards,

Yves De Clercq FCI Executive Director

Gavnoe Castle and Stenstrup Estate were the perfect settings, with high-flying birds and a very competent leadership. The ground for the first day of the trial was primarily sugar beets. Together with the very dry wind following a long dry period posed a challenge to the dogs and their ability to find scent, and too many dogs left the trial without retrieving a bird.

The twelve remaining dogs met at Svenstrup Estate early in the morning for another walked-up shooting day. The weather was magnificent and the grounds very much different from the previous day. Roughs, woods and meadows provided a wide variety of retrieves for the competitors. After all, the dogs had been given the opportunity to retrieve 6 birds, the field was reduced to 6 dogs.

AUDIT REPORT

To the members of the Fédération Cynologique Internationale

I went to the headquarters in Thuin (Belgium) on 29th and 30th January 2019 in order to audit the accounts for the 2018 financial year.

1. - Over the course of the two days I was there, I audited the FCI’s financial statements, which include the balance sheet to 31st December 2018, the profit and loss account, the statement of changes in net equity and the report on these latter, all corresponding to the financial year ending on the aforesaid date.

The General Committee is responsible for drawing up the organisation’s financial statements, in accordance with the regulatory framework for financial information which is applicable to it and in such a way as to ensure that it provides an accurate picture of the FCI’s assets, financial position and results.

It is my own responsibility to offer an opinion about the financial statements as a whole, based upon the work carried out in accordance with the applicable regulatory standards, and this requires an examination - carried out by means of selective tests - of the evidence provided to back up the financial statements and an assessment of whether its presentation, the accounting principles and criteria used and the estimates made are in accordance with the applicable regulatory framework for financial information.

2. - OPINION In my opinion, the financial statements for the 2018 financial year do, in all significant aspects, indeed provide an accurate picture of the assets and financial situation of the Fédération Cynologique Internationale at 31st December 2018 and the results of its operations relating to the financial year which ended on the aforesaid date.
