Interview with Stefano Bartolini

(D) The recognition of the White Boxer had to go through a long battle accomplished first by the association you directed. In your opinion what are the main reasons that have so long opposed this result?

(R) The reasons that have opposed this result so long reside in my way to see in the deep lack of knowledge of national regulations and in details of international ones that govern the release of pedigree. All this in that in our country there is the will not to promote the culture of cynophia, just because someone thinks that not involving people in the choices of the cynopolitics or still keeping them in the dark from important links of international norms in this matter, can guarantee to them still for the time being the government and therefore the control of the Italian cynophia. We have obtained the pedigree for the white boxer only because we wanted to get out of these logics and we have found that in the specific case this is a due act. In fact, in other European countries such as Germany for the white boxer better releases this document and at the time of a possible transfer of the boxer from one of these countries to Italy would have presented a problem of harmonization of the discipline in matter that could be solved only with the release of the pedigree to white boxer. But regardless this is the fact that this as well as the parents, I believe it is the same, and correct in the same, the same, I have been the case of the same, the same, the same, the issue of the same, the same, I have been the same, the issue of the same, the same, the same, the case, the same, the case, the case, the same, the same, the same, the case, the same, the same, the case, I have been the case, which I have been the same, and correct, which I have been the reasons for the same, which I have been the same, and correct, which I have been the same, and true, which I have been the same, which, which, which I have been the same, which I have been the reasons for the same, which I have been the same, for the reasons for the same, for the same, for the same, for the same, for the reasons, for the same, for the same, which have been the same, for the same, for the reasons, for the reasons, which have been the reasons, for the reasons, which have been the same, which have been the same, which have been the same, for the same, for the same, which have been the same, for the

(D) Can you imagine a reservation from those who see in the White Boxer an uncomfortable competitor for the sale of traditional subjects Fulvi and Tigrate?

(R) The white boxer is a boxer like all the others, it like the boxer Fulvo or the tiger one can have of the market trends variable according to the moments and the mode. I think for example that a correct information on the origins of the boxer and in particular of the true reasons of the births of the white boxer can help or better direct people in the choices of this or the other type of boxer. But the thing that I think most important is undoubtedly connected to an exact and correct information on the characteristics of the race that must be provided. In fact, it is the task of every specialized Association of race to promote the race among the people and this I believe that it can happen only when you avoid conflittual positions accepting democratic paths and you can make to feel part of a common path all the fans of the specific race. To get to this you will have to put aside personal interests for the good and the protection of the passion of the Boxer race.

(D) It seems that the Enci will give white subjects pedigree, but will not allow their access to beauty expos. Do you think that is a serious limit?

(R) I think that it is because there could be interesting subjects and why not think of separate judgments, as today happens between the Falvo and the Tiger? I think the real problem in this case is how the beauty expos take place; where the centrality is never covered by the so-called ENCI user (which could be also a simple citizen owner of a Boxer) but well known by the usual. This in time, but today we are well, will tend to a disaffection of this type of event reducing to a small number the participants, with serious damage to the coffers of the ENCI. This testimony is the result of a direct experience, I almost weekly in the summer spring I go to Germany to participate in beauty expo and in this country in contrast to our, there is a real interest-objective to truly promote the culture of the cynofila. The Ring are always crowded and the citizens until late afternoon go to visit the international cinematic exhibition.

(D) With the "change" of standards (orches and tails) and now with the official introduction of the White Boxer, the whole world of boxerism (at least in Italy) seems upset. is it just a "gardenistic" feeling or do you find it too?

(R) Those who have not believed and do not believe in change are shocked, it is a bit like the old woman who goes to the market and from one day to the next they take Lira and introduce the Euro. Certainly something happens to you from a behavioural point of view, but this example I like to represent it because it makes the idea very fitting what is happening, it happened and will happen. Some people liked the lira no more but Lira no longer exists and we like it or not it happened is an irreversible process similar to the change of standard, it has changed and what has once been has become simply and only a memory nothing more, a note that can not be more spent, without course.

(D) White boxer; Boxer with tail and ears. But does Stefano Bartolini have the role of David in his blood that fights against the giant Goliath?

(R) My life as a Boxerist has been and still has been seen with great passion. For me, the boxer is one of the purposes of my life and when a man a woman has ideals and lives them intensely they can transmit to others a force of thought that probably did not exist and this will become engaging. This is the real secret that probably makes you look like David fighting against the giant Goliath, in reality each of us is a David just want it but to be it you must always believe and fight in what you are doing; in essence a life without an ideal is like an empty house without joys, satisfactions and happiness and therefore will never be enjoyed.
