It was a long time ago, at least five years that we did not have ZTP test in France. This is a revenue of an remarcable event to consider since the last few years.

  We can remember some important facts, as follow:

  From the beginning of IDC, 35 years ago when was founded, the vice-president at that occasion Mr Francois Striby, that had supported a lot the breed in France and in Europe. He was a true dobermann's lover. He remained up to two years ago as member and vice, and had to leave due to health reasons.

  Few years before that, France has retired as member of IDC due political procedures, so France could not more to realize ZTP tests. Dobermann's breeders regret a lot, because they knew that ZTP was more than a breeder reference for breeding and to have dogs participation at IDC Championship class.

  France's dobermann's breeders even their claims, was necessary to start at the beginning again.

  On 2008, at the IDC Congress in Sweden, France has entered as member IDC member again with new board, supported by the breeders really intereted to improve the dobermann breed in France.

  Again, we cannot forget the personal effort of Mr Jean Paul Godard, as French Dobermann Club director, has organized with his own, an area for trainning the dobes and giving the support and stimulus to the owers for dobermann improvements as a protection breed.

  The ZTP test in France was realized on last 9th April at Labeville, with participation of 10 dobermanns (by the way a very good nr of dogs) . The judge, that could not be other, was Mr Wiblishauser.

  Despite the great friendly atmosphere at the sunshine day, all the 10 dogs have entered with very high trainning performance. In the right and pleaseant words of Mr Wiblishauser, it was a test of high level, that would be provide for all the dogs the maximun note V1. So, there is no another thing to say.....Congratulations!!!!!! for everybody and every dog.
