| c)
Evaluation / Scoring
Errors in the basic position, slow running out, picking
up the dumbbell, slow coming back, dropping the dumbbell,
playing or chewing with it, sitting crooked in front
of or beside the handler in the finish (Fu?), and wide
stance by the handler are penalized accordingly. Throwing
the dumbbell too short, and helps (extra commands /
movements) by the handler, even if he does not change
his position, are likewise reflected in point deductions.
If the handler leaves his location before the conclusion
has been attained, the exercise will be rated as Faulty
(Unsatisfactory). If the dog does not retrieve, the
exercise is to be scored as 0 points.
6. Retrieve over the 1-meter Hurdle
a) Commands
Sample commands for jumping, retrieving, releasing
and finish. Hopp. Bring. Aus, Fu?.
b) Performance
The handler stops with his dog in the basic position,
at a distance of at least 5 paces before the hurdle.
From this position the handler throws a dumbbell (weight
650 gram_ over a 100-cm high hurdle. The command to
jump may only be given as soon as the dumbbell lies
still. The dog that has been sitting steadily and unrestrained
beside his handler must jump on command (such as Hopp);
the “Bring” command must be given while
the dog is going over the hurdle. The dog must quickly
and directly run to the dumbbell, take it immediately,
and promptly jump back over the hurdle and bring the
dumbbell to its handler – again, doing so quickly
and directly. The dog has to sit close and straight
in front, and hold the dumbbell steadily in its mouth;
after a pause of approx 3 seconds, the handler takes
the dumbbell with the release command, “Aus”.
The dumbbell must be grasped from within reach of the
handler’s out-stretched arm, and then held at
his right side. On the command to heel to the basic
position, the dog go quickly to the left side of its
handler and sit facing straight ahead, with shoulder
blade even with the handler’s knee. The handler
may not leave his position during this exercise.
c) Evaluation/ Scoring
Errors such as in heeling (basic) position, slow jumping,
slow going out or returning; in taking, dropping, playing
with, or chewing the dumbbell; the handlers taking a
wide stance, and poor sit or heel position (finish)
will result in appropriate deduction. Striking the hurdle
while jumping and cost up to 1 point, and putting feet
on the hurdle will have up to 2 points deducted.
Point allocation for retrieve over the hurdle:
Jump going away Retrieve Jump coming back
5 Points 5 points 5 points
A partial score for the exercise is only possible if
at least two of these three parts are completed
Jumping and retrieving flawlessly = 15 points
A jump going away or one returning not executed, but
the dumbbell flawlessly brought back = 10 points
The jumps in both directions being flawless, but the
dumbbell not brought back = 10 points
If the dumbbell lands considerably to the side, or
where the dog would hav a bad problem seeing it, the
handler (after asking or being told by the judge to
try again) can throw the bringing wood without point
cancellation. The dog must remain sitting while the
handler gets the dumbbell.
Handler helps, even without changing location, are
given appropriate point deductions. If the handler leaves
his position before the conclusion of the exercise,
it is rated as unsatisfactory.
7. Retrieve over the 180-cm incline wall 15
points
a) Commands
For jumping, retrieving, releasing, and going to basic
position: Hopp, Bring, Aus, Fu?.
b) Performance
The handler stops with his dog in the basic position,
at a distance of at least 5 paces before the hurdle
(wall). From this position the handler throws a dumbbell
(weight 650gram) over the incline wall.
The dog that has been sitting steadily and unrestrained
beside his handler must, on command (such as Hopp),
climb over the incline wall quickly and directly (the
“bring” command only being given while the
dog is going over the wall), run to the dumbbell, immediately
take it, and immediately return over the incline wall
and bring the dumbbell to this handler, this being done
quickly and directly.
The dog has to sit close and straight in front and
hold the dumbbell calmly in its mouth; after a pause
of approximately 3 seconds, the handler takes the dumbbell
with the release command, “Aus”. The dumbbell
must be within reach of the handler’s out –
stretched arm and after being taken held at his right
side. On the command to heel to the basic position,
the dog go quickly to the left side on its handler and
sit facing straight ahead, with shoulder blade even
with the handler’s knee. The handler may not leave
his position during this exercise.
c) Evaluation / Scoring
Errors in heeling or the basic position; slowness in
leaving, jumping returning; in taking, dropping, playing
with, or chewing the dumbbell; the handler taking a
wide stance, or errors in the dog’s sit or heel
positions will result in appropriate deductions.
Point allocation for retrieve over the wall
Jump going away Retrieve Jump coming back
5 Points 5 points 5 points
A Partial score for the exercise is only possible if
at least two of these three parts are completed
Jumping and retrieving flawlessly = 15 points
A jump going away or one returning not executed, but
the dumbbell flawlessly brought back = 10points
The jumps in both directions being flawless, but the
dumbbell not brought back = 10 points
If the dumbbell lands considerable to the side, or
where the dog would have a had problem seeing it, the
handler (after asking or being told by the judge to
try again) can throw the dumbbell again without a point
deduction. The dog must remain sitting while the handler
gets the dumbbell.
Handler helps, even without changing location, are
given appropriate point deductions. If the handler leaves
his position before the conclusion of the exercise,
it is evaluated as Unsatisfactory / Faulty.
8. the Go – out with Lying Down on Command
a) Command
Commands for the go – out, drop, and sit : Fu?,
Voraus, Platz, Sitz
b) Performance
From the starting point and basic position the team
goes straight ahead in the designated direction, the
god off – lead as always. After 10-15 steps the
handler gives the dog the command for “the go-out”
(Voraus!), simultaneously raising a single arm and standing
still. At this, the dog must run purposefully, straight,
and fast for a distance equivalent to at least 30 human
paces, in the direction indicated Upon the judge’s
order, the handler gives the command to “lie down”.
(Platz!), wnereupon the dog must lie down immediately.
The handler may hold his arm up as a directive until
then. Upon another order by the judge, the handler goes
to his dog and steps to its right side. After approximately
3 seconds, and after the judge indicates, the handler
gives the command to sit, and the dog must do so quickly
and straight in the basic position.
c) Evaluation / Scoring
Errors in the development such as continuing with the
handler, too slow running out, deviating too far to
the side, going too short a distance, lying down prematurely
or with hesitation, restless while lying, and/or prematurely
getting up when the handler goes to the dog, are given
appropriate point deductions.
9. Long Down under Distraction 10 points
a) Commands
commands for the long-down exercise : Fu?, PlatZ, Sitz
b) Performance
At the beginning of phase “B” when another
dog is to perform its routine, the handler takes his
dog to a place designated by the judge, drops the dog
from the basic position with the “Platz!”
command, and leaves the dog without any leash or other
article. The handler goes without looking back, at least
30 steps away from the dog, and stands still in view
of the dog but with his back to it (still within the
trial area). The dog must lie there quietly and still
without the handler’s influence while the other
dog performs exercises 1 through 7. upon order of the
judge, the handler returns to his dog and steps to its
right side. After approximately 3 seconds, after an
indication from the judge, the dog must sit up on command,
quickly and straight in the basic position.
c) Evaluation / scoring
restless conducted by the handler as well as other
hidden helps (body language), the dog being restless
while lying and/or getting up too early when being picked
up, are errors resulting in point deductions. If the
dog stands or sits prematurely yet remains in the place
where it had been lying, it results in a partial point
score. If the dog strays more than 3 meters before the
other dog has completed its exercise #5, then this exercise
is to be given a zero (0). If it leaves that place after
the other dog’s completion of the 5th exercise,
it receives a partial score. If the dog comes to meet
the approaching handler, a deduction of up to 3 points
take place. |
