7.2 korklasse2

Dogs included in the rating of korklasse-2:

a) With minor defects in the anatomical area:
b) With measurement over or under the limits of withers height by up to 1cm;
c) (TSB) with evaluation of fighting drive (Triebveranlagung), self confidence and ability to handle pressure in the courage test as being “Vorhanden/ present” [“Sufficient”]
d) Missing one P-1 premolar or an incisor; missing two P-1s, or one P-1 and an incisor, or a P-2, or a slight off- bite (level, even, picer bite) of the center incisors.

7.3 Korklasse improvement (Re- survey)

The possibility exists for the owner of a dog given a korklasse- 2 in its first or subsequent korung to have this upgraded- at the earliest, in the subsequent year- by the same kormeister.

A deviation is only permissible with consent of the kormeister, who determine that the dog has made the improvement for the impending survey.

The desired korklasses upgrade from first or repeated survey is possible only one time.

7.4 The re- survey deferment (Postponement) of one year results if

a) The body has not yet developed as expected in order to permit a re- survey;

b) In the conduct of the dog or at the examination for fighting drive, self – confidence, and hardness (TSB), a status of being qualified for breeding has not yet been reached;

c) The deferment according to this section 7.4 is because the reevaluaiton is possible only once; a dog unsuccessful for the second time is not suitable for the purpose of the survey (which is to determine breed worthiness).

7.5 Unsuitability for the Korung

The following defects exclude a dog from the korung;

a) Considerable anatomical defects;
b) Oversize or undersize of more than 1cm;
c) Testicle missing;
d) Tooth defects (also see chart at the end of this document); an absence of one p-3 (third premolar) or two incisors or one P-2 plus one incisor or one P-2 plus one P-1 or two P-2s
e) Dogs with considerably faulty pigment
f) Dogs with long coats (Lanthaar or langstockhaar).

7.6 Lifetime or length of time korung is effective

7.6.1 The new breed survey and the survey after interruption [I,e., if the repeat is not done in time] are good for two years at mo9st. During the second calendar year (Kor season) of the time the survey is good for, the dog must be presented for the second survey.

7.6.2 The second survey results are for life (“Lebenzeit”).

7.6.3 A kör class upgrade dose not extend the original kör class effective duration.

7.6.4 A surveyed bitch heavy in whelp in the year of the impending second survey, can be given extra time for survey: a further year without demonstration of being qualified to breed (gekört). If this is the case, then on the day of the scheduled survey, there must be shown:

• The certificate of mating indicating the gestation period of date is ate least 42 days.
• Certification from the responsible local breed warden re the visible pregnancy.
• Equal consideration is given for nursing bitches, if not more than 42 days between whelping date and scheduled survey. No other reason for extension of the breed survey is possible.

7.7 Completion of the breed survey

If a surveyed dog does not make the second survey, the original breed survey ends with the conclusion of that calendar year.

7.7.1 The breed survey ends with the sale of a surveyed dog to a non- member, except the buyer is given up to three months to join the SV.

7.7.2 The breed survey of a dog whose owner is excluded from the SV as a result of a club’s criminal proceedings, ends with the day on which the expulsion decree attains legal force.

7.7.3 The breed survey can end, become invalid, through the process of revocation. This comes about through a recommendation by a kormeister or conformation judge to the kormat (survey office at HQ). A hold can be put on the process of recording the survey results for whatever time is necessary to iron out any possible problems.

8. Survey certificates and survey record book

For a certain fee, a survey certificate for the surveyed dog is prepared by the koramt (HQ survey office). It will take some weeks for this, and the original pedigrees is returned to the owner of the dog after the breed survey summary is added. The owners of dogs not successful at the survey likewise get back their original perdigree after the time it takes to process the report. On the pedigrees the reason for the non- survey is noted.

The surveyed dogs in any year become listed, by sex, in the survey record book (korbuch) that the SV publishes. The survey record book includes a statement about the classification “recommended for breeding” (Kkl-1) as well as the “suitable for breeding” (Kkl-2) dog, concerning the actual anatomical condition (construction) as well as character. With the statements by the kormeisters about breeding recommendations, this makes an inclusive and indispensable reference book for the earnest breeder. When these survey rules take effect, all earlier versions become invalid. (This concludes the rules, which are effective as of the 1998 season)

The judging of tooth feults in conformation shows and breed surveys Kkl-1, VA (Vorzuglich slect); Flawless bite, complete dentures, no broker* or defective teeth or large gaps, no extra (double) teeth. Kk-1, V ( Vorzuglich, excellent): Flawless bite, complete dentures, no large gaps: (double P-1s, tooth broken accidentally allowed).

Kkl-2, SG (Sehr Gut, very good) : missing one P-1 premolar or an incisor;

Kkl-;, G (Gut, good); missing : two P-1s1 or one P-1 and an incisor or one P-2.

Not eligible for a kor classification, an absence of ; one P-3 or but still may get a”G” (“G”) two incisors or in the show ring : one P-2 plus one incisor or one P-2 plus one P-1 or two P-2s;

One incisor or one P-2 plus one P-1 or two P-2S; “U” (Ungenugend, “insufficient”) an absence of: one p-3 and any other tooth, or and blocked from the registry: one fang (canine), or one P-4, or one M-1 (1st molar), M-2, ora total of any three teeth.

*(See rule change of 1998, allowing for exceptions due to non- genetic causes) other tooth and jaw defects : Over – and under- bites ; obviously undershot or overshot (the latter being the separation of top incisors standing in front of the bottom ones by the thickness of a matchstick or greater); the dog is not allowed to be listed in the registry. Imperfect bite (aufbei?en) A slight off- bite (level, even, pincer bite) of the center incisors can be allowed in Kkl-2. Caries (tooth decay) disqualifies from the breed survey. Worm down and discolored : if due to age, it id considered in the judgment, but with no major downgrading. If teeth have turned slightly yellow or brown, but if the tooth substance is OK, Kkl-2 is possible. Finis, 1998 change in SV breed show dentition rules concerning the ahnental (“official pedigree”- registration paper) and regarding damaged (broken) or missing teeth. This is the new wording of section 4.3. of the breed show rules. Environment influences that lead to damage to a portion of the teeth, or to their entire absence, have no consequence for breed evaluation awards (such as show placings or korung). However , it is required that the former presence of healthy , strong teeth and/ or a flawless scissors bite be confirmed and noted on the ahnentafel.

The proof to be given the studbook office can be as follows:
(check- list for establishing dentition registrations)

1. Submission of a dog show judgment (critique and results) and the score book, in which a conformation judge has described and confirmed the totality and (former) presence & sufficiency of healthy, robust teeth and a flawless scissors bite after personal examination. This is done after the dog has reached the age of 12 months.
2. Submission of the breed survey certificate (Korschein), in which were recorded the dentition and bite status at the time of the survey.
3. The submission of a radigraph together with a certificate by a SV-certified HD veterinarian, or a veterinarian-for-dentistry approved by SV. On the radiograph, parts of the root or at least the tooth socket must be shown.

Veterinarian’s cetification for tooth faults, X-ray requirement for the entry in the Ahnnentafel: Unfortunately it frequently occurs that veterinary certifications of damaged or missing teeth are inadequate in description. Until the necessary statements about the Ahnentafel registration exist, taking much time, this can be vary vexing to the owners, who are not allowed to exhibit their dogs! We therefore had to put together the most important points for you to certity, in the form of a checklist:

• Complete name of the dog on the pedigree: obvious and legible!
• SZ – number (SV Zunchtbuch, studbook) number, on the pedigree!
• Give the status of the dentition problem:
• Tooth is broken off, chipped, etc.
• Tooth with root is missing completely (due to environmental, non genetic) influence)
• Tooth had to be extracted (give reason)
• Cause of the tooth fault!
• Position reference (right.left, top/bottom) please imagine yourself behind the dog, to determine which is right or left side!
• Description of teeth: Please pay attention to the correct designation (for example, P1, P2, Etc.)!
• X – rays: Requirement for the for the entry in the Ahentafel: Tooth faults in the GSD occur often, even though it may be that dogs are completely free of tooth faults for many generations. Inheritance plays a role in the congential tooth fault, but loss or damage acquired later in life through environmental influences plays no role in determining the breeding value of the GSD or for its descendants. Before the extraction of a radiogrpah must be made in each case. it is a requirement for recording the missing tooth in the ahnentafel of the dog. the breed (stud-) book office of the SV acknowledges radiographs only by certified HD veterinatians or from approved veterinarians specializing in dentistry.
Please note, at the establishing of the radiogrpah, the following :
• Do the X-ray before the extraction!
• Clearly mark : “right” or “left”!

Still another note : Teeth that do not emerge completely from the gum (or are not normally developed) generally have do designation in the ahnentafel. veterinary certifications and radiographs therefore are necessary only for damaged or extracted teeth, whose absence is a result of non-hereditary, outside influences. you see that the SV rules DO include Ahnentafel changes. fred lanting.

Effective july 1, 2000: at bread surveys it is to be established :

1. A dog can be entered fro a bread survey only if it has been awarded at least 80 points (notation at least “Good”) at a Sch H/IP test in the protection phase “C” from a schutzhund judge. The examination (of paperwork, the confirmation) is incumbent on the Korung location mgr. and the responsible breed survery master.

2. All awarded training degrees are to be entered in the survey certificate, without restraint in reference to the awarded courage test evaluations. sincerely, Mr. Hans Rudenaur, S. V. Germany.
