In this episode, Gopi Krishnan speaks with Frans Jansen, the President of the FCI Utility Dogs Commission, who pioneers this lesser known and seldom misunderstood FCI sport that sees many dedicated exhibitors who work hard to let their dogs do what comes naturally to them with specific training to nurture those natural instincts.
There has always been a fair amount of assumptions made about the largest global organisation for Pedigree Dogs, so this series of the FCI Podcast Channel titled “Inside the FCI” aims to shed light and dispel assumptions about this international organisation that stands For Pedigree Dog’s Worldwide!
Comprising of ninety-eight member countries globally, the FCI is the largest global organisation for Pedigree Dogs covering almost every area of interest with dogs from conformation dog shows to dog sports and hunting trials. But to keep such a large organisation with working effectively will take a mountain of people to be involved in each area of specialist interest. In the FCI, these committees or groups are known as FCI Commissions. They comprise of volunteers from that particular area or expertise or field who dedicate their time and efforts to ensuring that their respective areas of interest are served with the sole aim being for the benefit of pedigree dogs.
