My name is Fabian Vega, I am submitting my intention to run for Breed Director. I have been active in training and working my dogs in IPO/IGP. I have competed in club, regional, nationals and international IGP trials. I have titled several dogs from Bh to IGP 3. I also have experience and knowledge in conformation shows at both the local, regional and national level. I am familiar with the FCI Breed Standards. I have a firm grasp on the process for hosting IGP trials, conformation shows, and breed suitability tests (ZtP).

On a personal note, I have over 20 years of management and leadership experience in the non-profit sector. I have managed large departments that require multi-tasking in making decisions.

Hi Fabian, Do you have any experience breeding Rottweilers?
I think it’s pretty important that a candidate has successfully bred a quality dog.
If you don’t do you plan on breeding in the near future?
Best of luck in the elections and thanks for stepping up

My name is Lisa Hoselton and I am declaring my intent to run for USRC Breed Director.

I have been a canine professional for over 21 years. I have hands-on experience not only in the exhibition of dogs, but in the day-to-day care, breeding, pre and post-natal and maternity care, physical conditioning, health, welfare, and management of the Rottweiler.

I have won over 150 first place conformation awards with dogs I have personally owned and/or produced. I have titled National and Regional Sieger (Champion), Siegerin, Youth Sieger, and Youth Siegerin dogs all around the world. I have competed in IFR (International Federation of Rottweilerfriends) World Shows in Argentina, Belgium, and The Netherlands. I have competed in shows throughout the United States and Canada. I have hosted numerous conformation shows, hosted judges from all over the world, and have been selected to ring steward for some of the breed’s most talented judges past and present.

I have developed relationships with judges and breeders from both domestic and international kennels all over the world. I have watched trends in the breed for years and have guided both conformation and sport professionals to help maintain the standard with their dogs.

I have imported over 25 Rottweilers from Europe for conformation, sport competition, and personal protection.

I have bred over 40 successful litters since 2005 and understand the responsibility that goes into producing top quality Rottweilers for both work and show.

I have been a member of South County Schutzhund Club and the USCA since 2004.

I understand the USRC bylaws, policies, programs, and rules. The USRC is the oldest active German style Rottweiler club in the United States that follows the FCI standard and I would be honored to hold this position.

I appreciate your consideration.
