All FISTC delegates met in Netherlands for
our 23th General Assembly 13th to 15th of June
2008. You can read Report
from president of FISTC Franco Mannato and
The
minute of the meeting..
 REPORT
FROM THE PRESIDENT
Ladies and Gentlemen, dear Delegates,
I am happy to welcome you here in Schoonloo
for this General Assembly and I take this opportunity
to thank Frans Weischer for the organisation
of this event. While we are in the woods and
in the middle of the nature, which would be
very nice for a sport event, some participants
found it quite far away from the civilisation
and from an international airport.
Let's start working. This year my report will
be much more positive than last year as we were
extremely successful in our organisations despite
another quite poor winter.
We started the season with an excellent first
European Championship Kart in Sletten, Denmark.
As we expected from our Danish friends, the
race was well organised and the trails were
very good. Indeed we had a successful organisation
and all the controls were done and the results
as expected. We also had a good participation
from Russia, at least in terms of results with
two participants who took two medals. All doping
controls were negative and that also is very
important. That was also an interesting organisation
as it gave us the opportunity to see how this
sport was handled in our various Member countries,
particularly from the point of view of equipment
and rules. Some rules will need improvement
and that will come over the years. It was also
important to control some too thin dogs and
as it is now in our rules to be able to disqualify
any dogs below the minimum weight that is in
the standard of the breed. Overall, that was
a good event even if we might had expected some
more teams. ... read

The Board proposes

DNA test is the future of pure breeding
in the world! Subjective point of view is going
out, and the DNA test will really tell which dogs
are being using for breeding. FISTC accepts dogs
for sport only when they are up to the standard
of FCI . Arno Roos, FISTC veterinarian is going
to work with this idea and prepare for next GA the
final proposal of the board on the use of DNA tests.
Membercountries should in their homeland check the
Costs and inform the Secretary of the FISTC accordingly.

The SSVÖ would like to inform the FISTC that the
legal position in Austria refering to the minimum
age of dogs participating in sleddograces has
been changed. Minimum age in Austria is 18 month.
Next two championships
sprint will be oganized in Austria, and then the
board of FISTC proposes to change the minimum
age of dogs for sprint races from 12 to 18 month
for future races of the FISTC including Cart and
Sprint Championships. All dogs must be 18 months
old on the first day of the race. |

FISTC and FCI
cooperation. The President of the FISTC reported
about the first meeting of the newly recreated
Commission for Sledge Dogs of the FCI that was
held in Paris on 19 and 20 April 2008. As President
of this new commission Franco Mannato emphasizes
the importance for our sport(s) and for the FISTC
to cooperate more closely with the FCI.

No more wild cards will be
issued for mushers from countries that are already
members of FISTC |
INFORMATION
" As once
again many mushers still have questions about participating
in non-FISTC races, the FISTC Board reminds that only
the participation to any WSA Championships is strictly
forbidden. Participation in IFSS or
ESDRA championships on snow or dry land is allowed without
any sanctions. This is the result of the decision taken
by the General Assembly of the FISTC in 2006. "
