nieuws - 27/09/2002 Mr. Keith Lovell in Argentina - Argentinië
door Pupy Nestler Mr. Keith Lovell (Australia) has been judging in Buenos Aires, Argentina. He judged Dobermanns, Airedale Terriers, Rottweilers, Boxers, Schnauzers, American Cocker. He judged in the Dobermann Top Twenty, too, together with Mrs. Betty Leinninger and Mrs. Jane Fournier (USA).
Here we have his impression about breeding in this country.
-What is your impression about our breeds in general?
-THE BESTS DOGS ARE VERY, VERY GOOD, IN MANY BREEDS, BUT LIKE IN ANY PART OF THE WORLD, THERE ARE SOME DOGS THAT ARE NOT SO GOOD.
-Which was the breed you most liked and why?
-I LIKED THE ROTTWEILERS, I LIKED THE DOBERMANNS. THEY BOTH HAVE VERY VERY GOOD QUALITIES. THE DOBERMANNS WERE PARTICULARY WELL HANDLED AND EXHIBITED, AND SCHNAUZERS.
-What do you think about dogs conditions? Trimming, coat, etc
-IT WAS VERY GOOD. MOST OF THE DOGS, IN MOST OF THE BREEDS WERE IN VERY, VERY GOOD CONDITIONS. SHOWED VERY WELL. ROTWEILLER´S JUDGING WAS QUITE EXCITING.
-Which are the differences between our breeding and the australian?
-I THINK THE QUALITIES IN YOUR DOBERMANNS AND ROTTWEILERS ARE BETTER THAN IN AUSTRALIA AND YOUR BEST DOGS IN ROTTWEILER, DOBERMANN, SCHNAUZER, BOXER, AMERICAN COCKERS ARE VERY SIMMILAR TO AUSTRALIAN BEST DOGS. MAY BE IN A DOG SHOW, SOMETIMES MAY WIN YOUR DOGS, AND SOMETIMES AUSTRALIAN DOGS.
-Which of our breed you have not judged, would you like to see?
-I WOULD LIKE TO SEE THE ARGENTINA BREEDS WE DO NOT HAVE IN AUSTRALIA (DOGO ARGENTINO), AND I WOULD LOVE TO SEE MORE TERRIERS, BECOUSE I HAVE SEEN AIREDALES BUT NOT OTHER TERRIERS.
-How do you think we can improve?
-I DON´T THINK I CAN GIVE YOU MUCH ADVICE ON IMPROVING, MUCH OF THE PEOPLE HERE ARE DOING A VERY GOOD JOB. YOU ARE FORTUNATLY TO BE CLOUSE TO USA, SO YOU CAN IMPORT DOGS FROM. AND YOUR HANDLERS AND GROOMING ARE VERY GOOD.
-What else do you think about the show?
-I WOULD LIKE TO SAY THAT THE OFFICIALS AND MANAGMENT AT THE FCA AND THE PEOPLE WHO HAVE LOOKED OUT TO ME HAVE DONE AN EXCEPTIONAL JOB. ITS WONDERFUL JUDGING IN ARGENTINA. THE DOBERMANN TOP TWENTY WAS A SPECTACULAR EVENT. IT WAS REALY ONE OF THE BEST THINGS I HAVE ENJOYED IN A LONG TIME.
