What would you like to change in BSZS? - Page 2

Chris, I wasn't aware of the owners health issues. Does his owner belong to a Schutzhund club? Maybe one of the stronger guys at the club can help handle Alex during protection training. With proper training and the outs fixed., his bitework and performance in general will be awesome to observe :)

By the way do you know if any of the showline folks up there bred their dogs to this dog? If so do you know the results? It'd be very interesting to see the WL/SL mixures.

My following suggestions are mainly targeted at Male exhibits, but does not exclude Female exhibits. The Sieger is a Breed show, and as such the top winning males have considerable influence on the future of our breed, therefore they should and must be rigorously scrutinised, and Judging must be honest and transparent, with as many obvious temptations removed.
THREE PRIORITY SUGGESTIONS
1) The accurate measuring height to withers of every exhibit at a Sieger show and the publication of all measurments.
2) An end to any judge being allowed to judge any dogs bred by them, or any dog that has resided with them in their Kennels during the previous year.
3) An end to any dogs bred by any of the Judges at a Sieger Show being allowed to enter that specific Sieger Show in any class whatsoever.
An urgent and detailed feasability study, with published progress reports, into the following:
1) A system of taking hair samples from say the first 50 dogs in each class and others randomly, and having them scientifically tested for any colouring.
2) A drug testing system - for performance enhancing drugs and steroids.
a) Now ask yourselves why wouldn't the SV want to accept these suggestions?
AND
b) Now ask yourselves why wouldn't the SV Judges & Kormeisters want to accept these suggestions?

VKH- it would never happen but sure would be neat to see...if they did that in the US you could probably count the working classes on one hand!

Silbersee, you are correct about  V-Alex von den schwarzen Seeperlen.  What an impressive male GSD.   He has VA quality conformation and correct working temperament.  What a combination.  I hope he gets a fair shake from the judge.
