Over the past two days, Rudi Klein, Andreas Martin (tracking ground managers), and Frieda Tatzel (treasurer) visited all the farmers. They inspected the event grounds and personally updated the farmers on the current planning status.
As a token of our appreciation for their generous support—providing their land free of charge for the World Championship—they received a small, personalized gift. We truly value this great collaboration! 🙌

Tracking Grounds.

🌅 Live directly from headquarters – the most beautiful sunsets, in our opinion!
And don’t worry about the snow – in 2.5 months, everything will look completely different. We’re counting on the weather gods to be kind to us again this year. 🙏 Our weather data from the past 10 years is clear: there has never been snow here during the first week of April. ❄️

A big shoutout to our farmers
January 17, 2025
🌾 A big shoutout to our farmers – the unsung heroes of the Tracking Dog World Championship! 🌾
Without them, the Tracking Dog World Championship as we know it wouldn’t be possible. Our farmers generously open their gates and allow us to use their fields for the tracking work – and that’s far from being a given!
Around 60 farmers provide us with their land free of charge, enabling the world’s best tracking dogs to showcase their skills. This deserves not just a thank you but a standing ovation! 👏
Their support lays the foundation for an event of this magnitude and makes it possible for dog sport enthusiasts from all over the world to come together and create unforgettable memories.
From the bottom of our hearts, we want to say: Thank you to our farmers – without you, there would be no World Championship! 💚
