IGP Obedience-Protection and IGP-FH track #2: Ludovic Mascaro, Switzerland

Mr. Mascaro was introduced to working dogs as a Swiss Border Patrol K-9 handler and started helper work soon after. His first sport dog was a German Shepherd that he titled to IGP 3. With his next dog, another German Shepherd, he competed at the Swiss National IGP 3 Championship and WUSV Team selection. He titled several other dogs to the IGP 3 level after that (German and Belgian Shepherds). Currently, he is preparing his Malinois for the Swiss all-breed National Championship in October.

As a trial helper, he worked in club trials, championships, then became a Teaching Helper and assessor of the final test for club and championship level helpers of the Swiss Kennel Club.
As a training helper, he worked dogs in many clubs and led protection and obedience seminars. He is an instructor at Geneva’s German Shepherd Club and coaches a group of world-level handlers and dogs.
In 2012, he successfully passed his IGP Judge exam after 2 years of intense “Swiss-style” training and education, and since then officiated as a judge for:
- about 50 club trials
- 5 selection trials for the FMBB and FCI Swiss teams
- 2 selection trials for the WUSV Swiss team
- 1 selection trial for the WUSV French team and National all-breed Championship
- 2 Swiss National all-breed Championships
- 1 Spanish National Championship and FMBB team selection
- 1 FMBB World Championship (2019)
- 1 DMC (German Malinois Club) selection trial
- Several CACITs (International FCI events)
In championships, he has mostly judged the Protection phase, his favourite discipline.
He is a Teaching Judge for applicant judges of the Swiss Kennel Club and a member of the Swiss Utility Dogs Commission.
