IDC [ International Deutsche Club ] Show 2013, Romania

We wish to thank our Romanian brothers who did an excellent work for the show, the organization, venue, and it was probably one of the best shows in recent years.

We also wish to say we are sorry for our Romanian brothers on how the show was manipulated and shamed and let down by certain judges, people and announcements... 
As usual....

Let us get to the biggest obvious point in this year's IDC Romania - The German 'Anchluss' or Attempts of Dobermann World Domination..

First, we all knew when Orson was in the catalog, he is already going to be the Sieger. Only an idiot or totally naive person would have thought otherwise. The competition for the males was already over. In fact, even for most other classes, if there was something from Germany, or born from Mafia bred dogs, and especially with the ears and tails.

We saw how many times, uncropped and undocked dogs were forced into the finals, often over the other better specimens and top winning dogs. Consider also the DV Loyalty Liste... and the 'family gifts' given at this show..

Not only did the IDC make a joke of this show, they insult the intelligence of everyone attending.. again.. as usual. And this is despite having the show in a new location, with modern organization and so much promise and hope by almost everyone.. that once, just once... this would be a proper show which would reflect what the IDC motto is  - " Understanding, Goodwill and Friendship".... yes, only if you wish to be DOMINATED and march the goosestep together back to Germany.

Its ALL mein! Hands off!

So, think it over, the 'democracy' of the IDC is once again a big joke. The IDC is basically there to announce and follow the decisions and judging of the DV Germany and what has been decided. Have a look at the IDC website, see the irony of this? -

IDC SIEGER TITLE REQUIREMENTS FOR 2013:

The IDC Secretary herewith confirms that the requirements for the award of the 2013 IDC Sieger Titles will be no different from that of 2012.

HOW TRUE! MAIN REQUIREMENT: ASK THE GERMANS. 

Another major point at this IDC was the release of the DV effective decision that the Dobermann Breed Standard will be changed. Effective from 1 January 2015 no more cropping and docking of the breed. In other words, all will be same as the DV. And consider that they chose the Congress in Romania for this announcement. Yes, forget the fantastic show orgaization by the hosts, and celebration of the breed in Romania. Let everyone know and be reminded, who is the boss and which country rules the breed.

2015

Speaking of which, since it appears everything is up to Mr President himself: the Sieger selection, the judging and the breed changes and well... everything he wants.. why dont the New German Dobermann breed also have a name change.. to Der Wiblimann? After all, if you do look at most of the German dogs, and especially the head, you can see a new kind of breed already... [Ok, this is not intentional really.. the Germans just cannot do much better than this..]

New Head style of Der Wiblimann Breed....

So, Mr Hans, can we really ask - what have you ever really acheived for the breed? Having your own bithday website, a loyalty list of who licks your sauerkraut ass, huge monies to your family and friends... and of course, now the beed standard change and a Sieger to reflect it.

Can we be expecting this as a taste of the future of all Siegers? Is this what is meant by the Requirements for the Award of Sieger Titles? Bullying by you and the DV... Hans, this time you really have proven yourself.

Or perhaps, this gesture of giving Orson the title, and the 'coincidence' of the breed change announcement... Probably is meant to let your fellow Germans 'hijack' the market and keep the breed within the modest limits of their current sales? Maybe now the Germans will have more customers and matings.. Thank you Hans, we all know now what the breed and its real quality means to you.

I'm here for Das Booty!

****************************************************

Very interesting too is the cool intelligence and cunningness shown by the old fox, Dottore. He simply minded his own business, judged what he needed to, and played the game while not getting too close to the Germans. Notice how he distances himself from Mr President at the crucial moments? Such as at the Champion Black males and Seiger finals... Smart guy our beloved dottore, knows how to play the Germans.

Take a bow, Mr Pezz. Your time will come.
Just dont let Wibli poke you too hard behind there..

What of the other judges? Well as expected, as usual, Mrs Ridarcikova is no expert or real judge, but present as a token because the next year's IDC show for the new breed type will be in her backyard.

Mr Guenther Ehrenreich, not the greatest breed judge, but certainly brought some style and decency to judging. Good work Mr Vogue! 

Mr Pap Vasili Carol? Well, we feel sorry for him... what could he really do or say? Reminds us of Florindo Coppo at IDC Italy,  Erika Szokol at IDC Hungary, Thord Bystrom at IDC Sweden..

But lets come to Herr Himmler [ Becht ] himself.. a man who paid attention to handlers mostly, not much at the dogs. The man who gave two brown dogs winning places, based on his own breeding. Anything new here? Once again it is proven, to the world, that Himmler does not know the breed in person, but the persons with the breed.

Becht's typical Blank Stare... Mr Zero himself

 Of course, Himmler will try his usualy bullying tactics...which he does better than actual judging.

Go back to the Camps! We have made our 'selections'..

This also brings us to one interesting highlight of this amusing German opera.... Mr Dejan Malbasa, acting as the King of the Ring!  This 'Breeder of Thousands of Dogs', was acting rather like a child who is spoiled (and by Germans mostly) to some extent – acting as if a IDC win was God given to him. Maybe he just prayed [ paid ] to the wrong Gods these time....
He brings along a motley crew of supporters who try to act tough ( making boos, whistles, and even to the verge of violence) and then there was the fight between Italian breeder and his kennel boy, originally from Altobello. All because this might have been the last chance for Maxim? Dejan, why dont you act like a sportsman, instead of as a conquerer to the throne?
You know your German is are not that good...

Before.. and After...

But what Becht did, in trying to remove Dejan, was disgraceful and very low behaviour for an an international judge. Yes, indeed to his credit and some balls, Malbasa did put up some resistance. [ more than Maxim did...] But as we know, these are tactics from the Gestapo, the syle of handling by Himmler Becht.  How can you resist?
Mr Malbasa, we give you a small applause for showing some power to the Germans.

Oh, and can anyone count how many bottles were thrown into the ring?

But we also salute the good sportsmanship of the German exhibitors, for sure more than Dejan and his gang. It is just a pity that some Germans are taken advatanged of by the big bosses.

Not that Mr President gives a damm.. he makes his usual disrespectful handwave of dismissing everyone- the audience, breeders, organizers and judges. Nice behaviour indeed from both DV boys...

The Wibli Salute.. or ' Das ist mir scheißegal '

But interestingly, Maxim was probably the best of all four dogs in that finals.. makes us all wonder, It still remains unclear why did they humiliate Dejan again? Could it be because of last year’s IDC in Italy.. to show who is the daddy of them all ? Yeah Hans, we know...

*************************************************

Also, special congratulations to Mr Boris. It does pay well to be handler of the Presidents' dogs.... Now you can make a nice plan to breed her to your boss' choice.

No wonders there.....

And one true mystery of the show....... 

We really also wonder about this one.... 

*********************************************************

Do you also wonder...What happen to the good old days of IDC? When it used to be a real dog show, for people to come together and celebrate this once great breed? As much as the Romanians worked hard, and gave a wonderful event for all..…

Nothing has changed really, because IDC is all about judging and so little about organisation, except for the judges that need to have a good time on their own. Kudos to Romanians for organization but some judges once again showed their ignorance and disrespect to the competitors and even to hosting club.

And disrespectful to the FCI too! IDC will use FCI logos all over.. but consider not one CAC or CACIB is awarded, nor was this any kind of FCI sanctioned or offical show... Why this pretense?
To fool people into thinking IDC is not a private club of DV? Come on Boys from Brazil.. people do have more intelligence than you think of them..!

His Royal Highness Chief Propeller Head

[ Whats happens when your head is stuck up Han's ass too long.. 

this is the only way to fly out..]

Speaking of Mr Roland Beunekens.. we do wonder where all the show entry fees go to? Would you not love to see the expenses of some judges, and their indulgences? Or how about any accounting or financial figures from the IDC, or even DV? Since they are taking themselves as the 'democratic' rulers of the Dobermann world...


So, after the business as usual again... we must ask ourselves, what is needed to be changed? And how?

Most important perhaps is the perception about what is important on IDC – people or dogs or cups? No doubt there are some excellent dogs, and some worthy winners at the show, and hard working people who truly love and work for the breed. But really, how many must travel all the way, for a chance at luck and twisted circumstances for some predictable outcomes, just for a shiny cup to bring home?

Also importanty, to be changed - are the Judges. Or rather - to have real expert and unbiased judging of the dogs. Not judging Nationalaties or seeing handlers and for favors given out. Even the judging at local breed clubs or CAC shows are better in general... and this is the IDC Show? 

The League of the Extraordinary Shameless

Very crucial -This German dominance must be put back to low levels. They have been responsible for the decline of the breed as the permier working dog, for the end of cropping and docking, and also for ignoring many genetic and health issues.

The other nations should have their own rights as well – what is the point of having their flags flown?  When there was no respect given. Do they even matter anymore?

In the end, we ask - What did this IDC mean?

Nothing really, but one thing – 

The DV rules and IDC is just their instrument of power

YOU HAVE BEEN JUDGED. 

Who were the true winners?

In our next post, we will discuss on the very important issue of the breed standard change.
