*American bred, AKC registered shepherd can be shown on SV, Sieger shows* TRUE or FALSE?
I know German dogs are welcomed at the AKC shows, just curious to see if this is the same for AKC dogs going to Sieger Shows in Germany. Sure this may not make much sense; different structures, anatomy, drives, titles, but enthusiast is an enthusiast, who is to tell someone that they can't show their dog?

.....any pure bred GSD that has a recognized FCI registry is capable of competing in Germany.
However to compete in the "working class" the dogs must fullfill the requirements setforth by the SV....ie...working titles, hips & elbow certifications and valid Korrung.
This is to my knowledge.

I think the Bundesiegerprüfung is the only S.V.-sanctioned major show that requires the dog to be S.V.-registered and owned by someone who resides in Germany. The dog may have to be German-bred and German-born as well. I do not have a copy of the rules handy this morning.

have you ever seen a "german bred GSD " compete in an "AM breed show " ?
A Puppy buyer of mine did that once, and was told by the judge after placing last : " After all, this show is about AM bred dogs, otherwise you would have been placed 1st !!"
Oh, what a nice world !

I may be wrong on this, but it was my understanding that the FCI doesn't recognize the AKC, as the American standard for the GSD is so different from the FCI standard.

Easy answer.......how does Mittelwest & Wilhendorf & other breeders compete in the German Sieger show then?
Also....I have had several dogs in Germany over the past few years and they have also shown & korred there.
All these dogs are born here in the USA and are AKC registered.
FCI is a pure breed registery.....and the AKC is a recognized registry by the FCI for pure breed dogs.

Or maybe wishful thinking on the part of those who dislike the American line dogs...
