Mediator between the main club and the local groups

The tasks of the federal and local groups are regulated and described in the SV’s statutes. The federal groups’ board members have one special task. They act as mediator between the main club and the local groups.

Not little – and not yet everything

Among the basic tasks of the federal groups are the direction, monitoring and promotion of breeding and the training of the animals as working dogs. Having a dog is now a sensitive sociopolitical topic, so in addition, the groups are responsible for information and publicity, as well as lobbying in the communal and federal political area. 

The federal groups’ work is important for the main club. Federal group personnel are voted in democratically at the federal meeting, which is composed of the delegates from the local groups.
