What exactly is done when giving HGH titles at the BSZS? Mostly Kirschental dogs wins the titles. We never see these dogs entering main show. They look good anatomically for e.g. Faskus Kirschental is good dog. What is the importance of HGH title? What does it prove. I mean like Sieger means he is best anatomically built and superb mover. Or best working sieger means he is the best for all the work.
Thank You

In the HGH working dog class only dogs with an HGH title can compete. That limits the field considerably to those people who obtain the HGH titles before the show. The dogs do not obtain an HGH title at the BSZS. They obtain a show rating in HGH class. An HGH is very much earned in the field.

Herding title.
Not every one has sheep :o).

Karl fuller and Kirschental always had the best Herding dogs and they're one of the few Show people who still use the GSD for the purpose they're meant for!
HGH is the Herding Title and HGH class determines the Herding Sieger!

A HGH title is a herding title were the dog must work 200 sheep with the shepherd. It's quite different from AKC herding. It's not a practiced routine and the dog must react in some cases on her own to keep the sheep in order. The GSD is a living fence for the herd. Moving the sheep over for cars to pass and to keep the herd out of crops while they graze in open areas. An HGH dog also does not need to do an AD title to be breed surveyed because of the physical demands the HGH title requires. There also is a protection part (protecting the shepherd). I own two HGH girls from Kirschental kennels. The desire to work for you is amazing.

This year at the BSZS the first ever GSD bred, born, trained and titled in the US was shown in the HGH class and placed V2 behind one Kirchental and in front of 2 others. He is owned by Sunshine who is a member of this board and his name is V Galaxy v Ajaye Sch III, KKL1, HGH. Sorry if I have listed these titles incorrectly and if there are others, I am not all that familiar with with how to do that. Galaxy was trained and titled by Ulf Kinzel. The HGH is earned by tending sheep, not herding as in the AKC discipline.
Sunshine can tell you more about this wonderfuly versatile and amazing dog that has done everythign asked of him.

Sieger Show BSZS is a conformation championship.
Dogs must meet certain criteria depending on class in which they are judged.
Regular working class means dog must have Schutzhund/VPG titles
HGH is limited to dogs who have the Herding title
The HGH title is not commonplace today,therefore,the numbers of entries in the HGH conformation class at the BSZS is relatively small.
No herding is done at the BSZS - I believe [and could be wrong!!!] that the HGH dogs must also do two protection exercises just like the Sch/VPG titled dogs.
