OUR VISION

  1. We use the plural "WE" (we), to always speak of a group and not individualize. That is, we try to move away from self-centeredness and individualization to speak and express ourselves as a group, which helps to reaffirm that: WE ARE A TEAM!

  2. The "STAND" works the 2 most common meanings of this word in English:

    1. “Stand by” -> support, offer help, help each other

    2. “Take a stand” -> position yourself, face up to…, in a firm and unwavering attitude.

  3. The word “PACK” in English means herd. In our way of living sport this has 2 connotations:

    1. Each of the members of our team are, together with our family, friends, trainers, etc., part of the pack of our dogs.

    2. The set of all these small herds forms a larger one that is our Club: AEM
