Mr. Dick Baars (NL)
The Molosser-show is very important to me - the originally great Boxer lover. For example, in 1995 I was allowed to make my judging debut at CAC level. Many editions before that I was also at this unique show. After 1995 I was several times as a judge (and speaker) active at this Molosser-event, in 2017 I was even allowed to perform the BIS judging and now in 2023 I can be there again.
In 1968, when I was 17 years old, I got my first Boxer, three more would follow in the next twenty-five years. Since then, in connection with living and living conditions, I am unfortunately dog-less.
By assisting to organize the Winnershow from 1976 onwards, my Cynological scope broadened. Somewhere in the seventies I followed the AKK course of Mr. Robert van der Molen at the KC Amsterdam. The exam followed many years later, afraid as I was of the breed knowledge. Then followed the E&B course, consisting of 4 Saturdays of which I missed one because of night shift in the hospital. The exam was theoretically sufficient but I was allowed to repeat the practice.

In 1994 I passed the exam to become Boxer-judge, after which many exams followed and I am now qualified for the entire breed group 2 and breeds in groups 1, 3, 6 and 9.
