Upwell Dog Training Classes

In support of all those people & animals suffering due to the recent aggression of Russia on Ukraine the Dachshund Club will be donating £1000 to the FCI fund to assist those affected.

The FCI and its General Committee officially condemn the invasion of Ukraine by the armed forces of the Russian Federation. This conflict and aggression cannot leave anybody indifferent and we all feel concerned, sad and angry.

The invasion of Ukraine by the Russian Army has also put entire families of our dog community in complete distress. This war has placed our breeders and their dogs at great risk, directly threatening their welfare and their lives. Many had to flee, others are surviving in precarious conditions, hiding in shelters where food and basic commodities are becoming very scarce. Yet, in these terrible and trying times, they did not abandon their dogs!

These horrifying circumstances contradict the written priorities and welfare recommendations of the FCI, as well as our policy and aims.

The situation has led the FCI General Committee to hold an extraordinary meeting on Sunday, 27 February 2022. Important decisions were made, within the legal limits of the FCI and its General Committee, based on the FCI Statutes and Standing Orders.

From the 1st March 2022, and until further notice, the Russian Kynological Federation (RKF) will not be allowed to conduct - on the Russian Territory - any event wherein FCI titles or prizes are awarded (CACIB shows, CACIT trials, CACIAG competitions, etc.)

In order to give the opportunity to our Members/Contract Partners and any other persons to express their solidarity and help towards the Ukrainian people, their dog lovers/breeders/keepers, the FCI will open a bank account, specially for this purpose, where all donations are welcome and will be forwarded, with full transparency, to help the Ukrainian Kennel Union (UKU) and the Ukrainian breeders badly affected by the war and in serious need, living either in Ukraine or having fled to neighbouring countries.

The FCI will contribute to this fund in a substantial manner. Further details will be communicated in the following days.

The FCI is a huge community, a united and strong family so let us all stand up and show our solidarity for Ukraine!

The FCI General Committee members,

Dr T. Jakkel, FCI President
G. Jipping, FCI Vice-President
B. Müller, FCI Treasurer
M.A. Martinez
R. de Santiago
C. Molinari
J. Hindse, President of the FCI Europe Section
JL. Payro, President of the FCI Americas and Carribean Section
D. Santos, President of the FCI Asia, Africa and Oceania Section
Y. de Clercq, FCI Executive Director

If anyone stumbles upon this new page I am putting it together for Vicki Watkinson who runs the Upwell Dog Training Classes and it is in development at the moment - Vicki can be contacted on 01945 870419 for any enquiries about the classes and will get back to you if you leave a message on her answerphone if she's out. The idea behind the page is for people to add their pictures questions and comments for discussion and post their wins messages and achievements on the page. The page will be updated regularly to give information about class times and dates - details of matches and events plus anything else relevant to the club. There is no joining fee for the club just a payment for each dog attending the classes £2 for the first dog and £1 for any subsequent dogs owned by the same person. Classes for 2018 will recommence on Thursday 18th January and are split into two straight through sessions 5.15pm - 7.15pm & 7.15pm - 9.00pm - The first session is primarily for table dogs and smaller breeds up to the size of a bulldog... the second session for all other dogs - large breed puppies may attend the first session but once 6 months will graduate up to the larger dog session. Vicki has purchased excellent matting on behalf of the club and in the better weather the outdoor grassed area can be used for 1 or both sessions. Junior or young handlers are welcomed and indeed encouraged and the club holds matches and other events during the year that will be posted hear and advertised on class nights. The club has full liability insurance and is organised and administrated by Vicki Watkinson a dog owner, breeder, handler of long standing and a much respected 'dog trainer' in the locality - Vicki is always happy to chat about your training needs and gives a lovely welcome to all newcomers. It is a very freindly and social club that meets once a week and hot and cold drinks are provided for those using the classes.
