Dear Readers,
If all breeders, exhibitors, handlers, dog judges – and, by and large, everyone
closely or remotely involved in the FCI’s dog shows and championships – know the
exact denomination of our large federation, and even have knowledge of the city
and country that are home to its global headquarters, not so long ago, not many
inhabitants of Thuin and its neighbouring localities knew about the FCI and its
corporate name. But things have changed a lot! The most significant burst in our
local promotion scheme took place with the celebration of our Centenary in 2011,
when our city was elevated to the status of Thuin, World Capital of Dogs. The latest
large-scale campaign was conducted on the occasion of the inauguration of the new
extension to our offices in 2015.
