Since 2005 he has also been Medical Director there. His main areas of focus in the surgical field were joint replacement operations, other areas of specialization were conservative orthopedics and spinal, hand and foot surgery. Under his leadership, orthopedics at the Neuwerk hospital has developed into a focus of care in the field of hip and knee endoprotheses.
On May 29, 2015, he was elected the new president by the general meeting of the SV in Lahnstein am Rheinof the Association for German Shepherd Dogs (SV) e.V. with headquarters in Augsburg. His re-electiontook place in 2019.

In the past, Professor Meßler was also a successful breeder himself. His kennel “vonAducht” was founded in 1973. His greatest breeding successes were the well-known sire”Argus von Aducht”, the youth winner and multiple VA male “Mack von Aducht” and 5th place in the Breeding group competition on BSZS in 2002.
His second great passion besides the German shepherd is fly fishing. With self-made flies, he has tracked the scaled game on almost all rivers and seas in the world.
