Luxembourg
My name is Marie-Josée Melchior- Schlechter and I live in a small
village at about 15 kilometers away from Luxembourg- City.
Since my youngest childhood, I was
fascinated of dogs. There were always dogs living at our home, for
example German shepherd, Dachshunds , Poodles and Terrier mix. In
1978, I bought my own fawn Great Dane female and a black Dobermann
female together with my husband and we started showing them at many
dog shows . Later, we had a few litters of Great Danes under the
kennel name” Fairlady´s" in fawn and brindled. Having puppies at
home, was a big pleasure, but it was always very hard for me when
they had to move to their new owners.
In 1990, after having fulfilled
the conditions, and having been judge candidate, I passed my judge
exam for my first breed, the Great Dane. The second breed , I was
allowed to judge ,was the Dobermann . These two breeds have their
place in my heart and in my house till today. But my interest in
dogs did not stop at these two breeds. I started learning and
judging more breeds.
In 1983,the Luxembourg Dobermann
Club was founded and I have been a member since the first day. Later
I became a member of the committee and since 2003, I have been the
president of the Dobermann Club Luxembourg (DCL). In 2010, I became
a member of the breeding commission of the working dogs in
Luxembourg (CLSCU) of which I am the president since February 2016
