| Seiger Ratings vs Working Ratings I think there may be some confussion on ratings V, VA, SG , G and the confussion may be with me.
Here goes.To have a dog KKL you have to show it in a show ring. It may be done at a USA Seiger show, Euro Seiger show or just a confirmation show by the WDA or SchH.
Corrections accepted:
At all confirmation shows the dog will run around the ring and be stacked. He will do a courage test and that is all the bite work the dog will see. After this he is given a rating. AM I CORRECT???????
Working dogs that trial in schutzhund/WDA are given a rating placement as to what their scores were in their combination scores of Tracking (A), OB (B)
and protection(C).
The point I would like to make is a V rated dog at a schutzhund/WDA trial is a dog that I would like to have puppies from. The V rated dog at a Seiger event, I would not. All these dogs look just alike. not that they are bad dogs, they are just not the dogs I would like to have a working dog out of. Those Seiger rated dogs sell better than any working dogs though because they are show dogs not working dogs. |
