I was just randomly visiting GSD sites last night and came across a dog that had a 12X SchH 3.
Is there a point to doing that?
I wish I could remember what site it was.

I wonder the same thing, but I think they are done at different fields under different helpers and judges so it proves that that Schh3 wasn't a one shot, tip the judge, paper title. Also, i think competition dogs will have a tone of Schh3's and they may score higher at club trials than national competitions just due to the comparission to higher level competitors. I'm not sure of this, but that's my best guess.

- to achieve certain scores in order to qualify for a national championship
- to achieve WUSV qualifying scores
- for the fun of competing as dog/handler team
- to achieve a handler's sports medal
- to show that a dog is still competitive

Exactly... and some people just like to trial and compete with their dogs. I'd say MOST people don't just obtain their SchH3 and hang their dog out to dry afterward.

Zep:
Multiple SchH3 titles are common amongst working line
people, they like to "get the 1 & 2 out of the way", then
start fine tuning and going for maximum points with
multiple SchH3's.
Now, a dog may be 25x SchH3, but if all those 3's are
at a club level, it may tell you the dog is not capable of
a high level of competition. A dog that is 25x SchH3,
but with most of those being Regional or Nationally
achieved titles, it will give you a better insight to
what the dog is 'made of'. It takes a strong nerved
very willing & resilient dog to be able to keep 'up'
and achieve maximum, or near perfect scores time
after time. If you consider all the work that goes into
to getting a SchH title, you will understand how
impressive it is to see a dog that is multiple times
SchH3 at higher levels of competition.

I just learned something new.

And then there's dogs of a regional or national level who couldn't get 2 X BH, ha ha. 25 X BH, would probably say a lot more.

Daryl,
What are you talking about? Obviously, I am missing the sarcasm or dig at someone. If a dog is a National level dog and titled to a SchH 3 it can easily get another BH. A BH is a simple obedience routine, not all that involved or complicated. The gunshots have been taken out so pretty much any dog can obtain a BH. For some one new to SchH it is a nice accomplishment and shows some effort put into a dog's training. It is not something that is repeated, the OB portion of a SchH 1, 2 or 3 is far more involved.
I am not sure what you mean. I could go to the pound or shelter today, pick a dog and have it ready for a BH in a month or so. Repeating the BH would be even easier, repeating a SchH 3 with good scores at different clubs and trials is certainly more challenging.
I think the OP got some excellent responses from others on the actual reasons for repeating a SchH 3.

Targeting someone in particular sounds like something you'd do Jim. Unless someone's attacking me personally, I pretty much leave them be.
I know what a BH is, of course, and have wondered at many dogs who were able to pass, although their trial testing was not in question. Think about the difference.
