The USEC is always interested in the health of our Eurasiers. Periodically, the USEC Secretary sends out a health questionnaire to its members for information on a variety of health issues or concerns. If the health of your Eurasier has changed, or if you'd like to submit a new or updated form, please contact the USEC Secretary, Erika Wepner for a questionnaire or more information.
The USEC Board of Directors would like to thank all of you have joined our group of dedicated Eurasier owners coming together to support the positive future of our favorite breed. The USEC is currently over 90 members strong and is still growing! As the USEC is intended to be a club of it’s membership, if you have a particular area of interest for which you would like to volunteer your time, please indicate this in an email addressed to the USEC Secretary, Erika Wepner and we will contact you as the need arises.
The USEC Board is pleased to announce that on November 6, 2006, during the 10th Anniversary meeting of the International Federation of Eurasier Breeding - World Union (IFEZ) in Fischingen, Switzerland, the United States Eurasier Club was accepted as an Associate Member of the IFEZ-World Union. The USEC is the first non-European club to be accepted into the IFEZ!
The IFEZ is a network of European Eurasier Clubs with the common goal of breeding healthy Eurasiers. Recently, the IFEZ became the Eurasier World Union. The IFEZ represents more than 6,000 Eurasier friends, which is more than half of all Eurasier club members in Europe. Health data of more than 12,000 Eurasiers is stored in the IFEZ database. The associate membership with the IFEZ will enable the USEC to provide data to and receive data from that database upon request. This data exhange will allow the USEC to obtain information on all breeding-relevant data, suggestions concerning proposed breedings, health information, and calculations such as inbreeding coefficients, which help to determine the suitability of mating two particular Eurasiers. For more information about the IFEZ, you can visit the IFEZ website at the link provided in the USEC Resources/Links section.
The USEC's acceptance into the IFEZ is an important milestone for the USEC, as it confirms to us that we are proceeding in the right direction towards our goal of protecting the health and welfare of the Eurasier breed here in the United States.
The USEC Board would like to extend a very special thank-you to two of our Honorary International Members, Mrs. Annelie Feder, Eurasier Club Weinheim Germany, and Mr. Lothar Mende, Eurasier Judge and Liaison between the IFEZ and the FCI. Together, they represented the USEC in its application for membership with the IFEZ.
