Who objects to this dog being bred? - Page 15

Blitzen, KKL = breed survey.  Same thing.  G = good in conformation, dogs with any serious faults (including long-coat) are not eligible for G.  If they do have G, then the coat must have been 'borderline" at the time of the conformation show, and the judge let the dog squeak by.  Or perhaps some professional grooming was done before the show, or - hate to say it - but someone had a "friendly judge" that day.

Thanks, Molly. So I'm not wrong when I think that a dog does not  have a breed survey if it doesn't have a KKL rating and a "G" or better is not the same as a breed survey? I guess it's a matter of semantics?

the "G" "SG" or "V" is a conformation rating.  Dogs can get a G or SG when they are untitled, young adults in the conformation shows.  They can "upgrade" if they do better or mature or have titles later in other conformation shows.  The KKl is breed survey - only dogs that are SCh1,2,3 or HGH titled, hip rated, have at least a G in conformation, AD and BH are eligible to get a KKl/breed survey.  so a long-coat wouldn't be eligible to get the G, so even if he is titled, he could not be breed surveyed - unless some cheating was involved or unless the judge didn't consider him a long-coat.
