Hello, I am Armand Luitwieler, 48 years old, living in Vlaardingen in the Netherlands, married to Dana, no children.
I am currently training IGP with Drak’era Dagg, a 6 year old Dutch Shepherd. We have now participated 3 times in the World championships of the WDSF in Sweden, Romania and Germany. I always think the world championships are the highlight of the year because there are so many enthusiastic Dutch Shepherd owners together. Sportsmanship is always very high and all participants have the same passion for working with your dog. Drak’era Dagg is a stable bitch and lives in the house with our 2 year old French bulldog.
I have been training dogs for almost 12 years, started with a Rottweiler that achieved IGP 3, but after seeing a number of Dutch people at work with a Dutch Shepard, I was very enthusiastic about the use of the breed and therefore opted for a Dutch Shepherd and to this day I have no regrets.
I work at a consultancy firm and advise our clients in the field of facility management. I am the operational manager there and manage the team of employees. I also take care of the financial control and handling for our clients.
I look forward to working with other WDFS members to ensure that the organization continues to grow.
