1900
DECHAMBRE published his excellent volume of Zootechnie Générale (General Zootechny).
The second edition was published in 1910. We can find therein (among others) the
“coordonnées baroniennes” (Baron) and the avalanche of sophisticated words. This
work of reference was translated into Spanish and Italian. The second Dobermann
club was founded on January 10th in Frankfurt: the Dobermannpinscher- Club Frankfurt.
Others followed. The Apolda club changed its name to become the National Dobermann-Pinscher
Club (Nationaler Dobermann-Pinscher Club, Sitz in Apolda).
Publication of the first Apolda Club stud-book. Others followed, for example in
Frankfurt which was to become an important town for German cynology. The Dobermann-Verein
was admitted to the Kartell in Berlin in 1908. Later on we witnessed the union of
several clubs under the title of the Dobermann-Verein which is the name of the present-day
club presided by Hans WIBLISHAUSER from Munich. The date was July 18th 1911 in Coblence.
Later on there was a section in Belgium, the Netherlands and in France.
1901
September 21st.: First meeting of the two Dutch clubs founded in 1874
(Nimrod) and in 1890 (Cynophilia) in view of founding a common organisation.
1902
Publication of the rich and famous book by William ARKWRIGHT: The Pointer and His
Predecessors. Here again was a man dedicated to a breed and a breed which owes him
so much.
- January 1st., three Dutch clubs: “Nimrod” (cf 1874 and 1875), “Cynophilia”
(cf 1890) and the Cynological Society “Nederland” founded the “Raad van Beheer op
Kynologisch Gebied in Nederland” which we simply call “Raad van Beheer” or the “Dutch
Kennel Club”. It keeps the stud book (Nederlandsche Honden Stam Boek). It organized
from 1902 to 1911 fifty-three shows gathering 1655 dogs. In 1912 it counted 31 associations
and 378 breeders.
The most popular breeds in Holland were the St. Bernards, Great Danes, Setters,
pointers, “German Pointing Dogs” and Fox Terriers. Then came the Greyhound, Whippet,
German Shepherd, Cocker Spaniel and the Bouvier.
- At the end of August the founding assembly of the Society to encourage the breeding
and utility of police dogs was held (on invitation of Messrs. LAUFER, VON STEPHANITZ
and GOESCHEL).
1903
July 18th.: foundation in Lausanne of the Swiss Scent hound Club.
1904
Publication of Die deutschen Hunde und ihre Abstammung (German breeds and their
origins) by Richard STREBEL. It is a very important work, in two volumes of large
format, in which the author presents not only the German breeds but more than 140
breeds. It represents a detailed and methodical study. Hans RAEBER, former President
of the F.C.I. Standards Commission, stressed the importance of this work. STREBEL,
breeder, judge, author and artist also dedicated his life to dogs.
- The Italian stud-book is proud of the 1003 inscriptions registered since its creation
in 1882.
- August 14th., first trial in Berne for ambulance, police and war dogs.
1906
In Germany, we witnessed an explosion of dog shows and dog clubs, each having its
own “book”. Considering that the “Delegates Commission”, founded in 1878, did not
assume its functions correctly, Baron VON GINGINS and Ernst VON OTTO summoned the
representatives of eight clubs to a meeting in Frankfurt-on-Main on July 16th. The
following clubs attended this meeting: The Griffon Club, founded in 1893 (von Ginging’s
club), the Borzoi Club, founded in 1892 (club of von Otto, who was also editor from
1885 to 1914 of Hundesport und Jagd (Canine sports and hunting), the Dachshund Club
(cf 1888), the Setter Club, founded in 1902, the Fox-Terrier Club, founded in 1889,
the “Kurzhaar” Club (German pointer), founded in 1890, the German Shepherd Club
(cf 1899) and the Wire-haired Terrier Club, founded in 1894.
During this meeting the Kartell der stammbuchführende Spezialklubs für Jagd und
Nutzhunde (Cartel of breed clubs holding a stud book for hunting and utility dogs)
was founded. It was simply referred to as the Cartel (das Kartell).
1907
The first Assembly of the Cartel was held in Hanover on May 26th. The “Show Rules
and regulations” were adopted.
1908
Assembly of the Cartel in February. The principles of negotiations were established
in view to an agreement with the “Delegates Commission” (D.C.).
- During the Assembly in Berlin, the Boxer, St. Bernard, Bulldog and Dobermann Clubs
joined the Cartel which became Kartell der stammbuchführenden Spezialklubs (Cartel
of Breed Clubs holding a stud-book).
- At a meeting in Darmstadt, the Cartel authorised the affiliation of regional dog
societies under certain conditions.
- J.Hay HUTCHISON published his famous The Perfect Bulldog in Word and Picture, a
guide for Exhibitors, Breeders and Judges which fanciers would have been well advised
to always follow…and which is now back in the headlines.
- July 20th. : Karl SCHEIRMANN, from Mannheim (1856-1944), founded the
1st German club for Dogues de Bordeaux along with Wilhelm THOMAS and Henrich HEIDEREICH.
In Bordeaux, during his inaugural speech for the creation of “his” club: “The Dogue
de Bordeaux”, Professor KUNSTLER officially thanked Mr. SCHEIRMANN. It is a good
example of Franco-German collaboration.
1909
December 27th saw the creation of the first Dogue de Bordeaux Club in
Bordeaux; it was presided by Professor KUNSTLER.
- The first French Bulldog Club in Germany was founded in Munich by a German, Heinrich
KNOTZ, an Englishman, Ernest LANGFORD and an Austrian lady, Maria MUELLER as well
as a Spanish representative, John BLACKER. The club was “international”.
1910
The Cartel renewed its international relations. On August 8th 1910, in The Hague,
it concluded an agreement of mutual recognition with the Austrian, Swiss, Belgian
and French Kennel Clubs (the German writer forgot to mention the Dutch Kennel Club).
The “Cartel” was to send a representative to the founding Assembly of the F.C.I.
Its founder did not participate: Baron VON GINGINGS died on August 5th 1911. The
presidency was assumed by Doctor ROESEBECK from 1911 to 1933. In 1910, at the preparatory
congress in The Hague, Germany was not only represented by the “Cartel” but also
by the Delegates Commission (Delegierten Commission). Both entities appear in the
rules and regulations of the F.C.I., drawn up on March 7th 1911 in Brussels.
The Spanish Kennel Club has not been mentioned because the Real Sociedad Central
Para el Fomento de las Razes Caninas en España was not founded until June 27th 1911
in Madrid and its rules and regulations only became official on November 16th 1912.
The first show was also held in Madrid in 1912. Nevertheless, the name of the first
president, Manuel Alvarez DE LAS ASTURIAS BOHORQUES Y PONCE DE LEON, COUNT OF LERIDA,
appeared in the report of the Royal Saint-Hubert Society of February 28th 1912.
It was stipulated therein that, as soon as the F.C.I. was founded, the Spanish Kennel
Club, presided by the Count of LERIDA, requested a treaty of alliance. The Count
of Lerida obviously had contacts outside Spain because the first dog registered
in the Spanish stud-book is Viana de Châtelaine, a smooth-haired Fox Terrier bred
by E. VAUCHER of Paris.
KUNSTLER, Professor of compared Anatomy and Embryogeny at the Bordeaux Faculty of
Sciences, Conservator of the Bordeaux Museum of Natural History from 1898 to 1921,
published his Etude critique sur le Dogue de Bordeaux aux expositions françaises
de 1910 (Critical study of the Dogue de Bordeaux at French shows in 1910) followed
by Prolégomènes pour servir à l’établissement d’un Standard du Dogue de Bordeaux
(Prolegomena to help write a standard for the Dogue de Bordeaux , a first standard
which was quite remarkable for this breed. Professor KUNSTLER was also a breeder
and judge. He judged in Bordeaux and in Paris, Cours-la-Reine, for the 40th show
organised by the French Kennel Club. He also gave lectures on dogs in the city of
Bordeaux. He was thus a truly great cynologist and dog-man, creator of the modern
Dogue de Bordeaux and had no concern about controversy when he rejected exaggerations
and the “hideous folds”. He was the alliance of science and passion. An example
to be followed.
Fom the middle of the XIXth century, we observe the explosion of dog shows with
the multiplication of bigger and bigger exhibitions. In France, the railway company
offered special prices to fanciers travelling to shows. In England, the organizers
of 101 the Birmingham show met “un-accompanied dogs” at the railway station and
transported them to the show venue the night before. Accompanied or not, 150.000
dogs travelled on British railways on their way to and from dog shows in 1894 (A.
OLIVER). Dogs Clubs appeared everywhere with numerous breeders. The breeds continued
to diversify. Some varieties became breeds. Pure-bred dogs became known in other
levels of society, among the high class personalities of this world (the English
Royal family and also Bismark with his Great Danes), artists (from Mistinguette
to Chaliapine). Dozens of books were published in Great Britain by knowledgeable
fanciers, passionate breeders, experienced users; in France and Belgium scientists
often joined the committees of breed clubs. Magazines and dog newspapers, often
originating from hunting communities, appear all over. Novelists put dogs on stage.
In France, COLETTE wrote delightful pages, full of love and subtlety about her dogs.
In England, GISSING was born in 1857, thus with the onset of cynology. In his book,
The Town Traveller, 1898, one of the characters, Mr. Gammon, gives many technical
details on the dog and talks like a standard or a judge’s critic. He gathered all
the terminology of canine jargon. The author must have attended shows and studied
specialized literature. He became initiated. He was, I believe, a unique case who
demonstrated the impact cynology had on the society at the end of the XIXth
century.
It goes without saying that this enthusiasm met with reactions against what was
considered as a luxury (there were “luxury dogs” classes) at a time when labourers
worked 10 hours per day and when 10 year old children worked for miserable wages.
In Les bons chiens, BAUDELAIRE, sings “les bons chiens, les pauvres chiens, les
chiens crottés” (“good dogs, poor dogs, dirty dogs”), « les chiens sans domicile
» (stray dogs) and rejects « danois, king-charles, carlin ou gredin » (Great Danes,
King-Charles, Pugs) : « A la niche, tous ces fatigants parasites » (to the kennel,
all these tiresome parasites). These poems were published in 1869. The dog fanciers,
boosted by their passion, paid no attention. It took them no more than ten years
to penetrate all levels of society. They widened their territory, exhibited in other
countries and went beyond the borders for stud-dogs or puppies. For example, the
Belgian stud-book includes, from the beginning, dogs born in France. The number
35 of Chasse et pêche, dated May 27th 1911, which covered the 41st Paris show with
almost 1200 entries, paid tribute to Mr. Paul MEGNIN “who placed the canine press
at the level of the great weekly press” and to Mr. SODENKAMP, a judge “as well-known
by the dog fanciers on the banks of the Seine as those of the Neva”. However, the
rules, the classification of the breeds and the standards differ. The dog fanciers,
having made international contacts, felt the need to try to unify the dog world
as much as possible. This is what was to happen in Brussels in 1911 and, for example,
the Swiss Kennel Club abandoned the English method of classing dogs at shows and
adopted that of the German “Cartel” with “Excellent”, “Very Good”, “Good” and “Satisfactory”
(befriedigend which became genügend, corresponding to “Assez bon” in French and
“Good enough” in English). The minutes of the General Assemblies of the Royal Saint-Hubert
Society, held at the Hotel de la Poste in Brussels on February 22nd 1911 and February
28th 1912, presided by Baron W. delMARMOL, were rich in information as to “the realisation
of the unification and recognition of the rules of canine sport”.
