International Working Dog Practices Have Been Designated as UNESCO Cultural Heritage.
Thanks to the significant efforts of Mathias Dögel and the Association for the Promotion of Working Dog Practices, a major milestone has been achieved during a challenging time for the working dog sport. Finally, this practice—lived and nurtured for over 120 years—has received high-level recognition from an official body.
For generations, the bond between humans and dogs, the shared work, training, and living together, has been central to working dog culture. It is a tradition, a mindset, a deep mutual understanding—and now, for a few days, it has officially been recognized as UNESCO Cultural Heritage.
Let’s work together to continue raising awareness and appreciation for working dog practices and our sport within society and politics!
