Palavras da lenda, Dr. Helmut Reiser. Respect! 👏👏👏
Report by Helmut Raiser
on the RSV-WM 2022
“I’m happy to find the conditions in Hauerstadion in Korbach excellent. And a big thank you to our back-office (Heike and Claudia), to Albert Spreu, chairman of RSV2000, and all others for your perfect work.”
“The track had its pitfalls. The terrain looked like a dream field from afar; but the wind, the rain and in many places the compacted ground also made the result a bit dependent on luck. However, our world champion proved that he was able to look for 100 points even under unfavorable conditions. On the other hand, my track, for example, was "just a sh*tty routine" under quite favorable conditions. But that's what you deserve over the years.”

“A-judge Genaro Romero from Spain understands the job, has mastered the straightening system of the RSV2000 and did it justice. I am particularly proud of our judges, because nowadays it obviously takes courage not to follow the current narrative and not to kill dog sport by pixelation.”
“When I have to watch working-dog with tears in my eyes that the FCI World Champion from the Ukraine does not get 100 points for her obedience, and that from a judge who is humanely perfectly fine, but obviously lets herself be influenced by fashion trends , then I ask myself why one doesn't freeze in awe at such an achievement and forget to fill out the judge's slip. Esther Schalke said years ago at one of our training courses: "Don't start interpreting the dog's condition!" Exactly this nonsense has become fashionable, and one interprets happiness when the dog is nervously at the limit. Top-class sport is always a limit and not joyfulness. But depending on the nervous constitution, this manifests itself in hyperactivity in one person and in concentration in another.”

“For those who want a philosophical explanation: Sentientism is based on empirical data, on a subjective degree of knowledge and is not primarily philosophical! Conclusions by analogy contain distortions and misinterpretations. The cooperative relationship with animals is highly asymmetrical!”
“Hopefully it will soon stop that every judge interprets his subjective taste and the narrative of our fun society is projected onto the work with the dog.”
“Do the judges really no longer know what is possible? Don't they know what education entails and that drive and technique are antagonists? Don't you know that education is conflict management? Don't you know that we need heroes in dog sports and not losers, that McDonald's doesn't go there and say you can eat our hamburger but they don't taste good? How dumb is such a PR?”

“I am so proud of our judges Anja Mannsbart and Gerd Fern, who not only applied our judging system but also illustrated it. You've used the full range of scoring. Of course, this gives you a much better scope for differentiation, and you are much fairer about the matter. But the even greater advantage lies in the atmosphere that has developed with such judging at our world championships. There was fun and excitement.
I quote Mahatma Gandhi: First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win!"
“Our judges had the courage to certify an V minus or an SG plus where today SG or, crazy enough, sometimes even G is given, because the exercise was an eye-catcher overall. As Robert Jönsson once said in a judges conference: Even the excellent has a range, and minor details do not detract from the excellent work!"

“Our philosophy in the RSV2000 means that, in addition to absolute world-class performances, there is also upscale basic work at our world championships. That probably accounts for the special, relaxed and collegial atmosphere of this event, where we dog athletes really have fun together.”
“Impressive excellence in A, B and C was presented by our world champion, Henrik Jensen with his Angry von Starker Wille. Since he had a late start number on Sunday, the excitement was boiling, because only with a 99th protection service could he still top the 100th protection service of Martin Schenk from Switzerland.”
“Everyone believed that Urs Allemann would produce the third world champion from his squad this time, because with 97/97/100 a total of 294 points, Martin Schenk and Finn vom Schützenbruch led the field almost uncatchable. But Henrik not only has a good dog with a good education, but apparently also the strong nerves that it takes, because after the 100 track, he shone with a strong drive 96 obedience, and then also rocked a perfect protection service, where only in the Back transport were to be found at all small flaws. In the end he was able to win the world championship title with 295 points”

“My personal victory in 3rd place consisted in leading my homebred bitch, Raisers Inlay, like all other dogs of mine before, constantly without wear and tear over 5 years. However, placing 4 – 3 – 2 – 4 – 3 with the 8,5 year old bitch doesn't spur me on to look for the law of the series in order to aim for second place again with a nine-and-a-half-year-old bitch. I will now fokus more of her son, Marko.”
