She brings to the table a random mix of Swedish, American, Cuban and of course quite a bit of German background. Personally, I always imagine her as this little angry elf that you read about in Nordic fairy tales. Small and delicate but with lots and lots of will power! She's kind of done it all: from corporate law to SAP, she somehow ended up in the heart of Bavaria turning IQ Dogsport and the Dogsport world upside down. There's one thing that's certain: she'll always bring some extra magic and lots of surprises with her. Have a great ride, Florian!
Claudine La Fontaine
The Bond, James Bond of dogsports. And in real life? A Ph.D. engineer at Audi/CARIAD and founder of IQ Dogsport. Whether it's horsepower or dog power, technology or Swedish elves, Florian keeps his cool. He catches big dogs in the air, scrambles through intelligent automotive technology, and calms elves when they are angry at the world. Up to this day, I struggle with his sometimes Bavarian dialect - but one thing always shines through: there is hardly anything Florian can't do!

These two together? They can move mountains! When an analytic mind meets emotion, magic meets pioneering spirit, a Ph.D. engineer meets intelligent chaos, a Swedish-USA mix meets Bavarian solidness: then the are meant for each other and they got to marry! I can't wait! It's time to celebrate and turn the night into day. See you soon! Yours, Claudine"
Any information you might need in preparation, you should find below.
Lucky us, in 2023, we moved to a farmhouse in the countryside close to the picturesque village Göbelsbach, Bavaria. We'll be celebrating some time outside if weather allows and spend the evening in a remodeled barn.
We'll kick off around 4PM with a little Champagne reception and some tasty bits. In the evening, brace yourself for an event BBQ with Ribeye, Fish and other good stuff, including vegetarian options. In case of intolerances, please let us know ahead of time.
NO Dress Code whatsoever! Bathrobe or fairy gown, Bavarian Dirndl or Tuxedo, grand attire or just super simple. We are a bit of everything and therefore anything goes: wear whatever makes you feel fabulous!
There's quite a bit of parking around. If you plan on arriving with a camper, please let us know. We'll also arrange for a shuttle service at night that can bring you to hotels nearby.
If you're itching to showcase your singing skills, if you want a few minutes to tell everyone a story or if you have anything else in mind, please contact Claudine. She'll coordinate it all and make sure nothing gets in your way. You'll find her contact details further below.
We kindly request your RSVP by June 01, 2024and please let us know the number of guests.
