Patron, Committee & Contacts
Patron - Mrs Annelie Feder
Annelie has been Chairperson of the EKW, the oldest and largest Eurasier Club in Germany, for more then 12 years. She is one of the most experienced and knowledgeable Eurasier-people world-wide and has written the only textbook on Eurasiers 'Eurasier heute' (in German, English translation available).
Committee
Chairperson - Dr Brigitte Mordan-Grimm briggrimm@yahoo.co.uk
Brigitte’s interest in dogs deepened during her studies of biology in her native Austria. In her search for the ideal companion dog, she encountered the Eurasier in the 1980-ies, and has never looked back! She now owns the only German Eurasier in the UK (who is a junior champion in her ‘homeland’) and has in the process found many like-minded friends all over Europe. Her versatile (and still expanding!) canine interests range from genetics, behaviour, agility, and obedience to showing.
Vice-Chairperson - Mrs Michelle Smith michelle@eurasiers.co.uk
Michelle has had dogs most of her life, ranging from a Chihuahua to a Great Dane. In the 90’s she had Huskies which she worked in harness; she also attended rallies and did a little showing, all with some success! She first saw the Eurasier in 2001 and was lucky enough to travel to Finland to get her first two in December 2002. She now has seven Eurasiers, has bred a number of litters and has also had some success in the show ring! One could safely say, she is quite taken with them! Moreover, she is a holder of Jan Fennell’s, Amichien Dog Listeners Certificate in Advanced Canine Communication. She finds this method to be invaluable in communicating with her pack, and gets great satisfaction in being able to help other owners with behavioural problems in their dogs.
Secretary - Ms Val Ford val@ford5531.fsnet.co.uk
Val is a dedicated dog enthusiast, who presently owns a Samoyed and a Eurasier. The wonderful nature of the Eurasier has inspired her to become one of the founder members of the Society.
Treasurer - Mr David Franks cresscombe.rbt@btinternet.com
Dave has been involved in breeding and showing Norwegian Buhunds and Russian Black Terriers for many years. Following this main interest in showing, he has been a steward for his wife Shelley at both Championship and Open Shows in the UK. Moreover, he has been a member of 3 breed clubs: the Norwegian Buhund Club, the Russian Black Terrier Club and the National Australian Shepherd Association. For the latter two he has also worked as a committee member while both breeds were on the Import Register.
