hi ,thanks, anyone know what size dumbell they use compared to schutzhund?  The eurosport & schraderhausk9 sites just says retrieve on the flat .

The levels 2 & 3 state that a 1kg (2.2lbs) dumbell is used.  I don't imagine the "1" is any different.  Level 1 still does the jump and the wall climb, just not with the dumbell.  There is also a lowcrawl and highbeam in the obedience phase.  Another difference from schutzhund is in the protection phase, the dog runs 4 blinds in the "1" and six in the "2 & 3".  Tracking is also done at a higher standard.

so we are sure the second post from Urry is not correct then?

Yes, I'm sure.  Only, the weight is not indicated.  "(činka psovoda)" means dumb-bell to doghandler.
