The Russian Hunting Dog Federation (RHDF) has written FCI and offered to take over as the host organization of the 2016 World Dog Show. They claim to have an experienced team capable of putting on international canine events, a strong Board of Trustees, the support of the reputable judges, breeders and breed clubs in Russia and abroad, and a good relationship with the sponsors of the WDS. Our sources claim they are awaiting a response to their request from FCI.
