Yvon Lasbleiz
President

Christophe Blaess
Judge-France

Competitor and judge with the FFSCL for over 20 years,
I started out a long time ago with a team of Nordic dogs consisting of Huskies, Malamutes and Inuit dogs.
My first participation in the European Bikejoering Championship was in Pomiechowek, Poland, in 2003.
Today, we only have two dogs (a Greyster and a German Shorthaired) with which I practise bikejoring.
As a judge and judge trainer for the French Cani Cross Federation, I favour dialogue and education over repression, while maintaining a certain fairness.
For me, the wellness of the dog comes before everything else.

Christophe Blaess
Juge-France

Compétiteur et juge au sein de la FFSCL depuis plus de 20 ans,
J’ai il a fort longtemps débuté avec un attelage de chiens nordiques un attelage composé de Husky, Malamute et chien Inuit.
Ma première participation au championnat d’Europe en Bikejoering fut en Polognes à Pomiechowek en 2003.
Aujourd’hui nous n’avons plus que 2 chiens ( Greyster et Braque Allemand) avec lesquels je pratique le bikejoering.
Juge et formateur de juges pour le Fédération Française de Cani cross je privilégie le dialogue et la pédagogie à la répression tout en gardant une certaine équitée.
Pour moi le bien être du chien passe avant toutes choses.
