AWDF mourns passing of
Herr Eberhard Strasser
On June 29 2009 the AWDF has lost one of its strongest supporters and
a dear friend of AWDF President Albert Govednik.
Eberhard Strasser, past President of the FCI Working Dog Commission,
passed away after a long battle with cancer. Herr Strasser was very
instrumental in the forward progress of the AWDF’s entrance into the
FCI.
We are deeply saddened by his passing and send our condolences to the
family.
More information will be posted as it becomes available.
