Years World Sleddog Association
When in 1995 some National Sleddog Organizations in
Europe did not agree with direction the FISTC was going,
a decision was made to create a new International Organization
for the sport with purebred sleddogs as defined by F.C.I.
standards. In a car ride from Austria to Germany the
concept for a new organization was drafted and the name
WSA was first mentioned.
A first meeting of potential members was held in August
1995 in the Hotel Pfefferhöhe, Germany. This meeting
was attended by delegates from Belgium, Luxembourg and
Germany. Those were the first organizations that had
decided to leave the FISCT.
The WORLD SLEDDOG ASSOCIATION e.V. –WSA-
was founded
Original founding board members included Gitta Henz,
Hanne Noike, Jürgen Falkenberg, Bernd Dahlke, Johann
Lingier, Paul Kutzner and the current Chairman Bernd
Keusemann. At the first General Assembly of the WSA,
Pia Joergensen and John Swanen were added as board members.
