On behalf of the Austrian Kennel Club (ÖKV), I would like to invite you to the FCI World Dog Show in Salzburg / Austria. The show will take place at the Salzburg Exhibition Centre from 18^th to 20^th May 2012.

The provincial capital of Salzburg is located in the geographical and cultural centre of Europe, is perfectly connected to the international motorway and railway network and also via Salzburg International Airport. As the venue of the world-famous Salzburg Festival, the infrastructure is very well developed, and Austria is also world-famous for its hospitality.

The FCI World Dog Show 2012 will be professionally prepared on the part of ÖKV as the Austrian umbrella organisation for dog breeders. Around 40,000 m² of most modern hall space will be available for the just under 100 rings for three days. 500 officials will provide for a smooth organisation. The show’s competitions and the events of the main ring will take place in the arena right next to the exhibition grounds. This modern, roofed stadium offers space for 3,500 spectators.

I would like to invite you warmly to attend this cynological festival – be it as a dog exhibitor, official, juror, or visitor. Your cynological expectations will be fulfilled by the World Dog Show 2012 in Salzburg without a doubt.

Come to Salzburg / Austria in May 2012, make the FCI World Dog Show 2012 part of your holiday in Austria. Register your dog, present it, and spent pleasant hours among likeminded dog lovers.

The Austrian Kennel Club (ÖKV) is looking forward to your visit!

Dr. Michael Kreiner
President of ÖKV
