REPORT EIWC BREEDERS & JUDGES SEMINAR

24–27.06.2011 - Grand Duchy of Luxembourg
organized by Monette Daubenfeld

In Denmark during the congress in 2010 when for the first time we had the wish to organise a seminar every two years, it was a bit difficult to find at once a place for the first one. But as I was lucky enough to have people of our board with me we could at once say that Luxembourg that was going to organise this first seminar. Not much time to do so, but we managed it. Thanks to my little very efficient crew and thanks to a very cooperative hotel manager we could within a few months make concret proposals.

The place was wonderful, two hotels, a river and nothing else but nature and our friends with their wolfhounds, and the day after all our sighthound friends. All together we spend a wonderful weekend. Monette Daubenfeld.
