Dear Readers,
When you read this Editorial, the Société Royale Saint-Hubert will have organised
the 2016 FCI European Section Show in Brussels.
More than 12,000 participating dogs have entered this prestigious event !!! Isn’t
it amazing? It depends on how you look at those figures! It’s amazing “per se”
as such an entry places the 2016 FCI European Section Show among the top 3 of all
the FCI Section Shows ever. It’s amazing because the World has been going and turning
somewhat wrong lately but still, exhibitors and breeders do want to live their passion
for dogs and keep taking part in all kinds of canine events, be it shows or sport
competitions. We do thank and congratulate them for that.
