Selection for Sieger show - Page 1

Hello Everyone, Is there any criteria for the entry on Sieger show? There must be thousands of dogs in Germany and other countries which are willing to participate in Sieger show. But if everyone is entered the Judging wili go on for more than one year and still will not finish till the next sieger show. I heard there are around 2000 odd entries in sieger show for all classes. How these dogs get an entry? Is there any basis for that? Also I saw there are around 150 to 160 places awarded in each class. Does the Judge of that class individually see all the dogs on that day? If yes how much time it takes to judge all the dogs? Because there must be atleast 200 dogs in each class. If each dog's individual examination it will take at least one min per dog and then camparitive judging is done that means atleast 300 mins are required for all this procedure that means 5 hrs. Is it really time required for each class actually? If that is true it must one hell of a task for the Judges.

Politics is very prevalent in the German Sieger shows that I hope should change for the betterment of the breed.
