Title vs V Rating by ogurad on 14 May 2012 - 14:05 |
I notice there are female gsd with a V rating, but no sch title. |

| In order to compete in working class and get a V-rating, you need a title. |

| Apparantly you can also obtain a 'V' in show, without any working titles from this organization http://www.iabca.com/index.html The ratings are awared as follows: http://www.iabca.com/ratingschart.html I'm still a little perplexed how a dog doesn't have to leave American soil to become an 'International Champion' |

| If it's a V rating from SV, UScA or WDA, the dog has a title and also KKL. |

| Rik, KKL is not required if dog is younger than 3 1/2 years old. |

| if the club that's holding the show/trial has invited clubs from other countires and some of these dogs attend the show/trial than its considered international competition. the venue must be one that recognises international titles... |

| So when we achieve our titles, koers and show ratings, if they are from German etc judges, should we all start to claim the 'International' status too? |
by SitasMom on 14 May 2012 - 23:43 |
SV doesn't acknowledge international titles. The organization holding the show/trial must offer international titles. |

| You "cannot" receive a V rating without a working title (in any offical venue). The highest rating awarded in the senior young dog classes is SG as is the highest rating in the adult non titled class. The highest rating any dog can receive if it is over 3.5years old and not breed surveyed is SG...To get a V (if your dog is over 3.5years old) (assuming your dog is a V) you must first get a show rating (highest will be SG, assuming you have your working title) then you do your breed survey and then you show again!!! Trust me, been there... |

| Can a dog under the age of 3.5 get a V without a KKL? They just get an SG and then after the KKL get a V, if they deserve it, correct? |
by barkroz on 15 May 2012 - 01:59 |
| That is correct. |

| Thanks! |

| Actually misread that, a dog under 3.5 years that has not been breed surveyed "can" get a V...Turn 3.5 years, then at least 2 shows, one pre survey, one post... |
by Ramage on 15 May 2012 - 02:06 |
| What is the point of the 3.5 year of age rule? Just curious. Seems like it would be better to require all dogs to get their KKL before being allowed to show for a V? |

| I honestly have no idea... |
