🇺🇸IGP officially recognized in South Australia! 🐕🇦🇺
A huge win for the IGP dog sport: The South Australian government no longer classifies IGP dogs as “aggressively trained” – a clear sign that IGP is a responsible, structured sport focused on training and well-being, not a danger.

This success comes after months of dedication, education, and the incredible efforts of Connie Bonaros, who strongly advocated for fair laws.

What this means:
✔️ No more blanket assumptions based on breed
✔️ Focus on individual training and behavior
✔️ A big step forward for animal welfare & the IGP community across Australia

🇩🇪IGP-Sport in Südaustralien offiziell anerkannt! 🐕🇦🇺
Ein riesiger Schritt für den IGP-Hundesport: Die Regierung Südaustraliens stuft IGP-Hunde nicht länger als „aggressiv ausgebildet“ ein – ein klares Zeichen: IGP ist ein verantwortungsvoller, disziplinierter Sport (Training + Wohlbefinden!) und keine Gefährdung.

Ein Erfolg, getragen von monatelangem Engagement, Aufklärungsarbeit und vor allem Connie Bonaros, die sich vehement für faire Gesetze eingesetzt hat.

Diese Entscheidung bedeutet:
✔️ Schluss mit pauschalen Rasse-Verdächtigungen
✔️ Fokus auf individuelle Trainingserfahrungen
✔️ Starkes Signal für Tierschutz & die IGP-Gemeinschaft in ganz Australien
