Breed surveys Comformation and AD - Page 2

Hello Kougar- " I was not aware that an HGH did not need a BH either to enter a schutzhund trial...but for koer????? The koer requirements are always listed as above when I have seen them." Here are the koer requirements listed as I stated on the USA Breed Survey Regulations page. Maybe you need to check out the sections and paragraphs below. Just because you are not aware that an HGH did not need a BH for a koer does not make it untrue. http://germanshepherddog.com/regulations/breed_survey_regulations.htm USA Breed Survey Regulations 3.4. Performance Title Dogs must have at least one performance title (SchH1-3, VPG1-3, IP1-3, or HGH) obtained under a USA-recognized performance judge, and a BH obtained under a WUSV-recognized judge. Dogs with an HGH title are not required to have a BH title. 3.5. Endurance Test Dogs must have passed an endurance test (AD) under a USA-recognized judge; however, this requirement is waived for dogs with an HGH title and dogs that are six years and older.

ENGLISH TRANSLATION OF THE 1996 VDH TRIAL RULES DEUTSCHER VERBAND DER GEBRAUCHSHUNDSPORTVEREINE (DVG) e.V. Service dogs with Service Dog (DH) titles or dogs with proven HGH titles are not required to show proof of a passed BH test before participating in a Schutzhund trial. www.southvalleysportsdog.co.uk/96TrialRules.html www.bigskyschutzhund.bizland.com/bh.htm

I know of another dog who is dual titled with HGH and SchH3 titles - a VERY VERY accomplished dog. When talking about dogs in the USA, let's not forget the HGH & SchH3 titled dog, Abel vom Quasliner Moor HGH SchH3 kkl2 handled, owned and trained by Ms. Kristin Siarkowicz, bred by Mr. Ulf Kintzel. Abel vom Quasliner Moor also has the UD, HSCs, HICs, HXCs, AX, & MXJ (AKC) titles. It seems that you cannot pick up an issue of the AKC GSDCA's magazine, The German Shepherd Dog Review without seeing Abel vom Quasliner Moor and Ms. Kristin Siarkowicz accomplishing something in it. There are many other dogs in the United States and Canada with HGH titles, and some with dual HGH & Schutzhund titles. Most of the dual titled dogs are imports. Look at all the great dual titled dogs from the Kirschental kennels that have been imported into the US & Canada. The dogs that title for HGH in the USA at the First HGH Herding Club really are some of the hardest working dogs that can be found. Any dog who earns an HGH title should be given all the respect one would expect a dedicated hard working dog would receive from the working dog community.

V2 Galaxy von Ajaye SchH3 HGH owned by Maren Friedhoff of Maryland was but one of the two American owned dogs the were shown in the HGH classes at the BSZS (SV-BUNDESSIEGERZUCHTSCHAU) 2006, the results to the German Sieger show, also lists the other American owned dog that was show in the HGH class, was HGH-Junghundklasse Hündinnen - Herding young females 18-24 months, SG3 Xeniali vom Kirschental HGH owned by Karen Priest of Massachusetts. Xeniali vom Kirschental earned her HGH title July 2006, score 85

Hmmm - I did not *SAY* it was untrue or that I did not believe it - I said I was not **aware** of it - nothing about that statement to be accusatory or defensive...since I do not have access to the training, I have not looked at the specifics that closely. I have the greatest respect for dogs who can get the HGH. Just not in a position to participate.
