good

sufficient

unsatisfactory

insufficient

not examined

§ 17 form evaluation

1) Purpose of the form evaluation is the evaluation of the outside appearance, the figure in connection with its function and the constitution of the dog as well as in particular also holding the innate lack of body. The form evaluation takes place in the notion to the race standard of the German quail dog (see plant to the **cPo).

2) With each **cJp, **cEp and **cGp a form evaluation takes place, whereby dogs up to the age receive the form value youth (**Fw/J) from 12 months, older dogs the final form value (L.G.) with appropriate descriptor.

The form value can be acquired also on an exhibition of the **cVdw (e.g. post pfostenschau, breed zuchtschau) § 17 **(4) **cPo applies here accordingly.

3) The form evaluation is to take place not in the individual groups of judges, but for all test specimens together; it is to be accomplished after conclusion the test fan, since errors in the bodily functions are better recognized in such a way.

Become on the occasion of the form evaluation of the judges lack of nature (fearfulness, handshy etc..) determined, they flow into the evaluation and just like breed-excluding lack on the certificate of examination and in the judge report are held.

4) Since the form value is to be breed-permitted among other things a condition for (s. A. number 4,1,3 **cZo-dw), must at least the for the first time introduced dogs by at least one form value judge 1 of the **cVdw is judged. On a youth examination of the **cVdw therefore in principle form value judge must be present.

5) On the youth examination the young **cDw is often not yet fully developed; Type of race, substantial or breed-excluding errors can be however already recognized at this time clearly.

The **Fw/J with the form value note " well " and better entitled likewise to the breed, like the final L.G. of the older dogs with the same descriptor.

6) Biting, ill and illness-suspicious dogs are not form-evaluated.

7) In the notion to the guidelines of the **cVdh the following form value notes will assign:

Excellently **(v) may be awarded only to one dog, which approximates the ideal standard of the race much, in excellent condition is demonstrated, a harmonious, balanced nature out 9

1 form value judge in the judge list of the **cVdw are separately listed.

" class " and a outstanding attitude radiate have. Its superior characteristics in relation to its race small incompleteness to make forgotten, but it will possess the typical characteristics of its sex.

Very well (**cSg) only one dog awarded, which possesses the typical characteristics of its race, of balanced proportions and in good condition is. One will check it some pardonable errors, however no morphologic. This descriptor can be lent only to one class dog.

Errors, which cause " **cSg ", are for example:

- **Behang does not reach the nose sponge

- very bright eye

- over/under size of 1 cm

- the next lower note causes easy errors in the gangwerk an amassment of " pardonable errors ".

Well **(g) is to be given to a dog, which possesses the outstanding features of its race, but it exhibits errors, on the condition that these are not hidden.

Errors, which cause " G ", are for example:

- surplus schneidezaehne, surplus front **Praemolaren

- too deep, not closed lefzen

- not tautly fitting lids

- to close gehoergaenge (arrangement for ear obligation)

- ton chest

- small **behaarter belly, leather ends

- over or **Untergroessen to 2 cm

- **Hochlaeufig or fine-linkedness

An amassment of errors in the above sense causes the next lower note.

(**Ggd) keeps sufficient a dog, which corresponds to its type of race sufficient, without whose well-known characteristics to possess and/or its physical condition remaining wish leaves.

Errors, which cause " **Ggd ", are for example:

- the absence of the 1. **Praemolaren (**Pl)

- nonspecific slight striking and hair changes (not chronic) - thin, **schuetteres or **seidiges hair

- light " open eye " (preliminary stage of **Ektropium)

An amassment of errors in the above sense causes the next lower note.

(**Nggd) a dog which corresponds not to the type prescribed by the standard, does not show clearly a stan **dardgemaesses behavior or is aggressive, keeps a substantial tooth error or an Kiefer anomaly not sufficient is afflicted with a testicle error, exhibits, a color and/or a hair error has. Furthermore this form value is to be awarded to the dog, which corresponds to an individual race characteristic so little that the health of the dog is impaired. With this form value also a dog must be evaluated, which has a heavy and/or excluding error after the standard valid for it.

Heavy and excluding errors in the sense of the race standard are e.g.:

- chronic striking and hair changes

- expressed nature weakness

- **Ektropium, **Entropium, hereditary eye diseases

- diseases of the nervous system (e.g. epilepsy)

- diseases of the building of bones (e.g. **Kniescheibenluxation)

- black hair color

Without evaluation receives a dog, to which none of the five aforementioned form value notes can be awarded. That would be e.g. the case if the dog does not run, strives constantly at the exhibitor high-jumped or constantly out of the ring, so that gangwerk and course of motion cannot be judged or if the dog constantly evades to the breed judge, so that e.g. control of dentures, building, hair dress, rod or testicle is not possible or if at the demonstrated dog traces of interferences or treatments to be determined to be able, which make an attempted deceit probable. The same applies, if the breed judge has the justified suspicion that an operational interference at the dog was made, which emisleads about the original condition (e.g. eyelid or rod correction). The reason for the evaluation " without evaluation " is to be indicated in the judge report or certificate of examination.

Intermediate notes can be assigned: e.g. **cSg/v or **cG/sg.

On exhibitions of the **cVdw (e.g. post pfostenschau, breed zuchtschau) groups of breeds can become certified. For the evaluation of groups of breeds the following criteria are determining: A group must be balanced in type, size and substance, according to the sex. The more largely the quality of the individual dogs and the more balanced the general impression of the group of breeds is the higher, is these to be placed. Good gangwerk, good temper and safe nature are to be considered likewise like agreement because of the color and the behavior of the dogs among themselves, whereby up-end dogs from the ring to be pointed are. With same quality to that group of breeds preference is to be given, which has the higher number of different parents animals. Same applies in a general manner to the evaluation of groups of offspring and similar competitions.

II. Part

Youth examination (**cJp)

§ 18 general

**(1) purpose of the youth examination is it to receive for the breed valuable information. The **ererbten plants show up with the young **cDw most pronouncedly.

**(2) therefore above all exactly also the negative, like lack of nose, must be seized trace will, **Stoeberanlage, water joy and in the nature on the **cJp not only the positive fitting, but.

Finally the results of the **cJp give information over the breed value of parents and are thus for the breed monitoring of large importance. Determined lack of nature are to be mentioned therefore in each case in the examination report.

**(3) in addition, youth examinations are to be held usually from in the middle of March to at the end of of April, can in the autumn.

**(4) in consideration of the difficulty of the plant evaluation with young dogs the most experienced judges are to be active on **cJp.

§ 20 evaluation of work on the hare trace: General information

**(1) the plants important for the German quail dog (nose, trace sound, trace will and trace security) can be examined in practice only on the trace of the hare not seen by the dog. For the breed it is from greatest importance that lie close-conditioned differences are recognized correctly in particular by the judges on the youth examination and in Beno **tung to settle.

**(2) an evaluation is only possible in an area, in which the trace trace can be well observed. The test judges and dog leader (if necessary also spectator) strip the area as with a hare search in the field. If a hare rises, the group chairman calls a dog, which did not see the hare run off.

The dog leader has to set its dog on the trace or in their proximity.

**(3) all test specimens are to be examined if possible under same conditions. Usually it will be possible the judges, by two hare traces, some the well-known substantial influences on the degree of difficulty

a trace exhibit (changing bodenformationen, vegetation, wind effect, standing time, hook etc..) to judge a dog fairly.

Exeptionally also a particular can, particularly widens and is enough for work for evaluation to be sufficient, if it exhibits the substantial difficulties.

**(4) if the dog shows very different achievements with two work, then a third trace is to round the judgement identification off.

From several work the best for the evaluation may not only give the excursion; rather the judges from the overall view of all work under consideration of the different difficulties a judgement must form.

**(5) an individual trace, which is not taken up for not recognizable reasons of a dog, cannot be evaluated. The judges are to set however a second, as already as possible well evaluated dog from the group as a check. The achievements shown by this dog may not affect the evaluation of its achievements altogether shown negatively. Even if this dog does not accept the trace, then it remains with the **Nichtbewertung. If the control dog shows however still at least a " sufficient " **(2) achievement, then must be evaluated the work of the first dog with " insufficiently " **(0).

**(6) the following evaluations refer to normal conditions Special difficulties or promotions in individual cases are to be considered from the judges to and mentioned in the examination report.

§ 21 nose

The nose achievement of a dog determines its ability to overcome difficulties on the hare trace and the trace surely follow.

The further the trace is the longer, usually the standing time of the trace and the requirements are the higher to the nose achievement of the dog.

The nose evaluation does not do justice fully to dogs with slight trace will over the " length of the spurarbeit "; here overcoming difficult trace conditions (e.g. older traces) can contribute to clarification.

The length of the spurarbeit is to be noted in the judge report.

Note: Trace length:

0 no assessable achievement

1 less than approx. 200 meters

2 a trace of at least approx. 200 meters

3-4 over 200, less than approx. 500 meters

5-6 over 500, less than approx. 800 meters

7-8 over 800, less than approx. 1500 meters

9 more than approx. 1500 meters when confirmation by a second, at least very good work

§ 22 trace sound

Is demanded " more essentially " a sound, which begins, as soon as the dog took up the trace and continues, as long as the dog works reliably on the trace. Very late using of the sound or longer interruptions, although that

Dog reliably on the trace works, has according to smaller evaluations to the consequence.

Note: Loud:

0 For mute dogs.

1 For loud-giving dogs isolate, if recognizing of the trace process is not possible.

2-4 For dogs, which - although surely on the trace working - repeats longer distances (more than 50 m) are mute. The process of the trace must still have to be pursued however at the sound. Only initial sound giving over a short distance and afterwards complete concealing may not be evaluated no more with sufficient. On the other hand very long mute **Anjagen (up to the half of the entire work) is, sufficient thereafter however safe sound still.

5-6 For dogs, whose sound begins regularly late, although they already work surely a longer distance (approx. 100 meters) on the trace or during the work regularly shorter time exposes to their sound.

7-8 For dogs, whose sound begins, as soon as they took up and stop the trace surely, as long as they work perfectly the trace (including gust **gelns within the supposed smell range). When losing the trace or exceeding hooks the sound must break off and begin again, as soon as the dog took up the trace again surely.

§ 23 loose sound **(l)

The sound of the dog is released by the perception of the game weather and depends on the height of the threshold of sensation.

Nervous ones, to easily excitable dogs are inclined to become constantly loud to it, with smallest attractions.

The clearest form of this error is the **Waidlaut. If beginnings of this error show up with the spurar-beit, they are to be represented with the evaluation of the trace sound by the additive " L ".

Note: Loud:

**c6(l) For dogs, which are still loud with otherwise reliable trace sound also with the elbow striking outside of the smell range of the trace.

**c4(l) For dogs, both on the trace, and constantly with spacious agreement or already when fastening, without the trace to have clearly taken up, are constantly loud. These dogs are to be examined for **Waidlaut and receive the **c4(l) only, if the suspicion is not confirmed. For the statement of the **Waidlauts these dogs are in clear area, in which no game or fresh traces or tracks are present to fasten to the search.

**c2(l) For dogs, which are as can be prove **waidlaut. As **waidlaut dogs are to be classified, which become regularly loud when fastening and to remain, without pursuing game or work on a trace or a track.

The **Waidlaut is to be noted as " determined lack of nature " on the certificate of examination. The examination on **Waidlaut is to be noted in the judge report.

§ 24 trace will

**(1) the trace will exists in the " urge forward ", in the obstinacy, with which a trace is pursued.

The dog, which returns again and again to the place, at which it lost the trace, shows a high degree of trace will, even if it is missing to it (is it because of experience and exercise lacking, is it because of small nose) at sufficient trace security, in order to prepare the trace further. Turned around also quite **feinnasige and trace-safe dogs can show only slight trace trace.

**(2) the substantial measure for the evaluation of the trace will is the time, in which the dog strives around furthering the trace. The time between taking up and breaking the spurarbeit off is determining for the evaluation of the trace will; it is to be noted in the examination report. The time of giving the spurarbeit up up to the **Anleinen by the leader is not to be considered in this connection.

**(3) trace will shows up in the concentrated effort of the dog around the pursuit of the trace, in particular with the **Boegeln before giving the work up, not however in the elbow striking drawing back far and unmethodical running, with which the trace is however not taken up crossed.

**(4) in detail is to be proceeded from the following appoximate values:

Note: Time:

0 none

1 less than one minute

2-4 approx., less than three minutes

5-6 approx. three, less than five minutes

7-8 approx. five, less than ten minutes

9 approx. ten minutes

**(5) spurarbeiten, which are broken off groundlessly and suddenly without any effort, can be only evaluated with sufficient **(2), if the length of the work carried out up to the abort amounts to at least 200 meters.

Eager looking for within the narrower range of the leader is not to be rated than trace will.

§ 25 trace security

In trace security the ability of the dog shows up to adapt its work speed of the difficulty of the trace and the efficiency of its nose.

Note: Achievement:

0 For dogs, whose uncertainty does not make a purposeful furthering for the trace possible any longer.

1 For dogs, with which altogether the time used for regaining the practice-shot trace process clearly exceeds the time worked on the trace.

2-4 For dogs, which get frequently off the also straight running trace, strike large elbows or work at regaining larger distances backwards.

5-6 For dogs, which exceed and frequently outside of the smell range of the trace hunt fast running by to hooks and elbows regularly.

7-8 For dogs, those its work speed the degree of difficulty of the trace on

fit and essentially reliably within the smell range hunt.

§ 26 keeping in track regret

The dog, which lets itself be diverted by fresh temptations or also by the sight of game not to steadfastly pursue " its " hare trace, is trace faithful for which thus with the chase on the trace on other traces and/or tracks does not change. This very valuable characteristic can be no proper test subject, because their statement depends too much on the coincidence. However if a test specimen proves as perfectly trace faithful, then this must be noted in the examination report and certificate of examination. Pronounced keeping in track regret will favorably affect usually also the evaluation of trace will and/or trace security.

§ 27 **Stoeberanlage

For the **cJp the **Stoeberanlage is examined. The test specimen is to show that it strives for finding game.

When areas come both thickening, which are controllable by judges, and lighter portions with **Unterwuchs, in which the dog does not have a visual contact to the leader, **infrage. The **Stoebergelaende should be large at least 1 hectar for each dog.

If a dog comes directly after it covering assumed at game, which it hunts longer time, then it is to be fastened after returning and an appropriate recovery break again, in order to be able to judge its real **Stoeberanlage. In the ideal case the dog is to show a calm, systematic searching of covering. And constant contact to the leader reductions in the evaluation entail fast superficial work, knurling tools.

The duration of a very good (7,8) work is not to fall below 5 minutes.

§ 28 water joy

**(1) the dog is to accept the water joyfully and without hesitating, which - if also not directly on the bank - must be so deep that the dog must swim.

If the dog hesitates, then it may **be aufgemuntert by throwing articles to accept the water. Such assistance entail an accordingly inferior evaluation, whereby swimming articles are stronger to weights than e.g. stones.

**(2) during the evaluation the water and weather conditions (current, wave course, temperature, precipitation) are appropriate for considering.

§ 29 **Fuehrigkeit

The degree of the **Fuehrigkeit expresses itself in the attention and attachment opposite the dog leader. If the young dog pursues persistent a trace and/or a track and longer is missing, than this would be desired with the finished trained dog, or if he cannot **abpfeifen or be called up from the game, then that may be charged to him not as lack of **Fuehrigkeit.

§ 30 firing firmness

In order to determine firing sensitivity or firingshy, each dog leader on instruction of the judges in temporally appropriate distance must deliver two shots, while the dog in the forest or **Buschiergelaende in pellet range of fire searches freely. In the doubt the examination can be repeated.

Note: Reaction:

8 Firing celebration is a dog, that by the shots either unbeein prints remains or firingheated shows up

6 is easily firingsensitive a dog, - although easily restrained - the search continues

4 A dog, which comes on shot to its leader, is firingsensitive the search after at the latest one minute on request again continues

1 is strongly firingsensitive a dog, that after the shot (or already at sight of the weapon) protection with its leader searches and to the search to send does not leave themselves

0 Firing shyness is a dog, that on shot fearfully flees and/or from the effect of the leader extracts themselves

If a dog with the descriptor is judged " firingsensitively " or more badly (notes 4 to 0), then this is to be noted in the certificate of examination as " determined lack of nature ".

Qualification test (**cEp)

§ 31 general

**(1) the qualification test of the **cVdw can be accomplished in two variants:

Qualification test with hare trace **cEp

Qualification test without hare trace **cEpb

**(2) purpose of the **cEp is it to tighten in their component the **angewoelften plants of the dog under advanced influence of straightening and guidance.

To that extent the **cEp is an addition and an extension of the youth examination; besides it permits the statement of the plants of dogs, which did not run before on a **cJp.

**(3) the **cEpb (qualification test usefulness) examines however apart from the essential minimum requirements for **jagdliche usefulness also some important plant fan (**Stoebern, swimming trace, etc.).

**(4) with both test variants the accomplishing regional committees can write supplementing the examination out of **jagdlichen usefulness according to the following a regional law regulations.

For this the regional committees take over the test orders of the respective Lands of the Federal Republic.

**(5) with it the different forms of the qualification test between **Jugend-und customs examination stand. Among its special tasks the determination of nature-firm and **fuehrigen dogs with high-quality plants for hunt use and breed ranks.

**(6) qualification tests may be held only in the autumn.

**(7) the regulations of the " federation examination water " are to be kept a component of these **cPo and.

§ 34 **Stoebern in the forest

**(1) on a qualification test already proper **Stoebern must be required in contrast to the youth examination by a dog already prepared to the fighter mission.

**(2) as areas comparably dense forest portions come into consideration excluding thickening and; for each dog must be available two to three hectares.

If no suitable forest area is present, then exeptionally also comparably large corn fields and such a thing can be used. Each dog is to be examined at least 10 minutes.

**(3) the **Stoeberpruefung is to be accomplished as hunt near as possible; the occurrence of game is desired.

If doubts exist to the **Stoeberleistung of the dog, then it is to be examined in another area a second time; the same applies if the **stoebernde dog already after short time at game comes.

afterwards **(4) the dog is to search covering intensively, to hunt thereby found game loud, until it leaves covering, and willingly to its leader to return.

If a dog hunts longer time behind game over, then this is to be judged not negatively, it is, it passes as much time that the test expiration is obstructed.

§ 42 work on the swimming trace

**(1) this subject is only in those regional committees part of the qualification test, in which the nationallegal regulations permit this.

For the achievements no points will assign, it only " existed " in and " existed " are not differentiated.

**(2) a duck is suspended in covering, without the **AnSchuss is marked. These preparations may the dog **to eraeugen not be able.

**(3) after suspending the judges request the leader, its dog at an pellet-firingremoved point of the suspension place of the duck to seek to fasten.

**(4) the dog must look for and find the duck independently. The leader may steer and support it with the work, however continuing effects reduce the evaluation.

§ 47 **Stoebern

**(1) the **Stoebern is a major task of the forest customs dog. Therefore at least 15 minutes must be examined under huntnear conditions. For the examination sufficient large is to use close thickening in which on the presence from game to is to be counted.

The examination is to take place in the closed forest. Exeptionally can be used also at least 3 hectar large field wood with close **Unterwuchs or just as large corn fields and such a thing.

**(2) the test judges and further, participants (contactors), designated by the group chairman, must change a driving over frequented and.

**(3) the dog leader may not leave its conditions during the examination.

**(4) the dog is to search a driving according to plan and thoroughly, up-push found game, pursue hair game loud, until it came to the distance or driving left, **aufgebaumtes feather/spring game (pheasant) verbal.

**(5) to the **Stoeberpruefung only in each case one dog may be fastened. For its first work each test specimen must receive a tract of land, in which still no other dog ge-**stoebert has.

If the dog already comes to short time (without assessable **Stoeberarbeit) at game, then its **Stoeberleistung in each case in second driving is to be examined.

**(6) the judges have to judge whether the dog searches according to plan and thoroughly and able is to find and bring before contactors game. If a dog in driving did not find game, an inspection work must contribute by a second dog to the completion of the judgement.

**(7) far over chase by the contactor chain is not desired. Dogs not within two hours voluntarily to their leader return, can in the **Stoebern only with sufficient be evaluated; the examination report justify **ssdie note.

Dogs, which cannot return by hunt stranger of influences (to catch by Spa **ziergaenger etc.), must in second driving are again examined.

**(8) target a dog during the **Stoeberpruefung the proof as **Weitjager placing, then must communicate the dog leader this before beginning of the examination to the group chairman.

§ 48 bringing on the schleppe - general

**(1) dog leaders, that bring along own dragging game, have requirement on the fact that this is used for their dog. If a dog leader did not bring along dragging game, although this was required in the test advertisement, then he does not have a requirement on examination of his dog in the subjects concerned.

**(2) the schleppen must be put by a test judge. They must be supposed for all test specimens under as same a conditions in homogeneous area as possible and in their main direction with neck wind to be pulled.

**(3) during the dragging putting all dogs are to be held in such a way that they do not notice anything from this procedure.

**(4) the piece game intended for bringing must be freely because of the end of the schleppe (e.g. not in a soil recess or behind a tree). That drag-casually must behave in straight lines extension of the schleppe in covering and except wind in such a way that the dog cannot notice him with its work.

**(5) that drag-casually must observe the behavior of the dog at the game from its covering.

**(7) if the dog does not find the laid out piece game, then it may be set still twice on the schlep-pe. The dog found and leaves the game it, without bringing it,

or it finds the work insufficient after altogether threefold setting on the schleppe not to the piece, is.

**(8) if the dog begins to cut the game or if he digs it, to be evaluated then this is the work with insufficient in the examination report to be mentioned and.

**(9) as " bringing " the total output of the work is to be evaluated: The dog is to find rapid and safe to the game, take up immediately it with good grasp, brings and to spend cleanly.

At heavy bringing game short placing may not be taken into account for grasp improvement as errors.

**(10) becomes a dog with his work by unusual outside circumstances (not by game temptations!) substantially obstructs, then is it one sparedrag to grant.

§ 49 bringing feather/spring game

Those feather-game-drags must 150 m be long and two right-angled hooks exhibit. It is in open area with low soil vegetation (grass, seed, glean and **dgl.) lie.

Those hare-drags must 300 m be long and two right-angled hooks exhibit. It is to be as completely as possible, must however at least on the two last thirds of its length in the forest. The hare laid down for bringing must weigh at least 3 Kilos.

§ 51 bringing fox (choice subject)

This work is posed to the dog leader to the free choice. Those fox-drags must 300 m be long and two right-angled hooks exhibit. Just as hare-drag must it on the two last thirds of its length in the forest be at least. The fox laid down for bringing must weigh at least 4 Kilos.

§ 52 welding - belt work

**(1) to the production of the artificial welding tracks are permissible the dabbing and the dripping procedure, however all tracks in the same procedure must be manufactured. Only fresh or frozen game sweat of a kind of game (without preservatives) may be used. The welding tracks must lie in the forest (including **Bloessen, narrow forest meadows and such).

With area difficulties it is permitted to put the **AnSchuss and the first 100 meters of the welding track into free area.

**(2) welding tracks may be put only by a test judge or under its direct supervision by a adept aid (e.g. judge candidate). If several persons participate in putting the welding track, then that must track-casually always go behind all remaining participants. Outside of the track putting sweat and all other articles afflicted with sweat are to be kept in such a way that no sweat can arrive at soil or vegetation.

**(3) for each welding track a viertelliter game sweat is to be used. The " **AnSchuss " is to be marked by soil bodenverwundung and cut hair and committed a crime. The welding track must be long 600 m and exhibit two right-angled hooks. On half length a **Wundbett is to be marked by soil bodenverwundung and cut hair.

**(4) marks about the process of the welding track, as far as they are necessary for the orientation of the test judges, must be so constituted that they do not give a guideline assistance to the dog leader.

**(5) the welding tracks must stand over night and be at least 12 hours old with beginning of the work.

**(6) before beginning of the belt work a piece bowl game is to be laid down at the end of the welding track, which must exhibit a ball shot. All remaining injuries with exception of in and **AusSchuss are to be sewn. The game carrier has itself to remove afterwards or go except wind in covering and behave in such a way that it can be noticed neither by the dog nor by the dog leader. The game carrier must make certain that when carrying the game of a track end on the other hand no sweat is lost and that it does not run over the welding tracks.

**(7) the dog leader is led from the group of judges to the turret and instructed at the first shot. From then on dog and leaders must arrive completely independently at the piece.

**(8) all judges and district leader must always follow dog and leader in appropriate distance, even if the dog has itself " fired ". Announces if a leader Pirschzei **chen, then the judges take this only to the knowledge, without giving to the leader a confirmation whether he is on the track or not.

The leader can mark the **Pirschzeichen with suitable means.

**(9) if the leader with its dog wants to pre or fall back, then he must look for each other the track; the judges follow in appropriate distance. Only **Pirschzeichen, which the leader announced, are to be shown it for a resort.

**(10) if the dog off the track get, without it is able to correct itself after 100 at the latest m themselves and without that the leader from own resolution pre or falls back, then has the judges it the fact of the agreement to communicate (call).

The leader must look for each other the track then again. If a dog in the course of its work receives more than two calls, the belt work is to be evaluated at the most with unsatisfactory.

Unsatisfactory or insufficient belt work can be broken off by the judges at any time.

**(11) behavior at the piece: The dog is left after successful work **unangeleint with the piece. The judges have themselves to hide except view and wind in such a way that they can observe the dog. The dog leader as well as him accompanying judges and otherwise present persons have themselves to remove likewise so far that the dog cannot be affected by them no more. If the dog begins to cut the piece, then the entire welding is not existed. As soon as the judges can judge the behavior of the dog, they can permit the leader to fetch its dog again. The examination is to take about 5 minutes. Leave the piece is not the dog not as errors to be taken into account.

**(12) spectators may follow the belt work only with agreement of the dog leader and the test judges in sufficient distance. The work may not be obstructed also in by far-getting turning over or far falling back thereby. In no case spectators, while they follow the belt work, may carry dogs.

**(13) to evaluate is also co-operation between leaders and dog. For the evaluation however the function of the dog is decisive.

Criteria are track will, peace, security and independence, the way, how the dog is able to help itself with difficulties by elbow striking, pre or falling back, referring **Pirschzeichen, ignoring temptation tracks.

§ 53 dead barking

**(1) target a dog in the dead barking to be examined, then this must be already communicated to the denomination by the announcing with delivery. The **Totverbeller has to carry first the normal belt work out, which is evaluated as such.

**(2) before beginning of the belt work however the welding track is extended by 250 m in straight lines direction. For this over night track is a second ("freshness") **Wundbett to put on and from here with an eighth litre game sweat in the same manufacturing process the over night track extend at the end of the 600 m is enough. At the end of this fresh extension the game is laid down. From the game the dog may not do a line of sight connection too

have at the end of the belt work (fresh **Wundbett) waiting leader and the judges.

**(3) if the dog at the belt found the fresh **Wundbett, then it may still some steps at the belt on the fresh track further-look for, must then however be fastened. It is to find safe the piece and become loud within approximately 10 minutes. Dog leaders and accompanying judges must wait it with the fresh **Wundbett, until the dog barked at least 10 minutes long the piece, without to leave.

**(4) around the behavior of the dog at the piece to observe, a judge in covering must set up himself except wind in such a way that the dog does not notice him. If the dog does not find to the piece, then it may be set still twice at the fresh **Wundbett. If he found the piece, but leave again, then the work (dead-bark) is insufficient.

**(5) the achievement in the dead barking does not have influence on the evaluation of the belt work which can be made completely independently on the over night track (from the **AnSchuss to the fresh **Wundbett).

**(6) if the dog begins to cut the bowl game, the entire welding is not existed.

§ 54 dead references

To dead references applies in a general manner the same as to the dead barking. Fastened from the fresh Wund bed for referring, the dog is to find safe to the piece, return however immediately then to its leader and give by the taken up **Bringsel or other special behavior to recognize that it found. The dog leader must announce the judge before fastening the dog, in which way its dog gives to recognize that it found the piece. The dog is to then lead its leader immediately to the piece.

**(1) the dog leader **pirscht with its dog, which **angeleint it or follows freely with foot, to a point designated by the test judges. There it must the dog **unangeleint (freely) placings, whereby it may do an article (e.g. line, backpack, hunt bag) with placings. Loud hearing character are not permitted thereby; rather everything has to happen in largest peace as on the **Pirschgang.

**(2) the dog leader must depart **pirschend so far from his put down dog and go in covering that him this no more cannot **eraeugen; it has then a shot to deliver and afterwards slowly to the dog decrease/go back.

Note Reaction

7, 8 The behavior of the **hUndes is very good, if it endures up to the return of its leader calmly at its place. Lift the head or setting, without the place too abandoned, are no errors.

5, 6 Well the behavior of the dog is, **more 'der only few meters from the dependent place distant and then further calmly puts itself down.

2, 3, 4 sufficient one is the behavior of a dog, which wegpir **schenden tried that leaders carefully be followed and by this in line of sight connection with loudless effect be arranged can to put itself down calmly or comes to meet the returning leader, as soon as it sees it.

0, 1 The behavior of a dog, which win **selt, is unsatisfactory or insufficiently sound gives, lastingly its place leaves or even if it must be affected by the leader by loud hearing character.

§ 66 condition peace

**(1) the dog leaders are as to be employed contactors with a forest driving hunt at a thickening. Each dog leader **angeleint its dog, sitting or lying, beside itself. During some aids thickening under the usual driver noise push, have the dog leaders through in sequence one shot each to deliver. The dogs must behave thereby calmly, them may **winseln, loud-give, do not jump up or into the line to bounce. Putting up into sitting position is not incorrect.

**(2) the condition peace is also at other opportunity during the test process, e.g. with the **Stoebern to consider. With the **Stoeberpruefung if the hunt is exercised and thereby if the condition peace can be sufficiently judged, then can be done without the special examination.

§ 67 obedience at bowl game

**(1) if a dog comes during the entire examination in the sphere of influence of its leader at bowl game or on fresh traces and/or tracks, then it is to be able to be held by view or hearing characters from pursuing.

**(2) with the **Stoebern the dog is to let itself hold from the presented contactors or by when turning off the that contactors developed smell-purely from pursuing from bowl game or however to short over chase (15 minutes) return.

**(3) if a dog hunts despite direct effect of its leader at bowl game (except black game) longer than 15 minutes over, then its " obedience at bowl game " is to be evaluated at the most with unsatisfactory.

**(4) dogs, which place or dismiss it at as can be prove ill game over-hunted, are not to be evaluated regarding the " obedience at bowl game " in this case.

**(5) each group of judges should be endeavored to give to each dog the opportunity to prove " obedience at bowl game ".

**(6) if several opportunities result to evaluate the " obedience at bowl game " during the examination the results are to be averaged.

§ 68 general obedience

In particular in the subjects **Buschieren, with the water work and with the **Stoebern can be determined the general obedience again and again. The dog must show during all work that it pays attention to its leader and can by **Hoer-und marker willingly be steered.

The behavior of the dog must be evaluated during the entire examination.

§ 69 work joy

The subject of the evaluation are the recognizable work joy of the dog and the will to co-operation with the dog leader.

A dog, which works without desire-stressed eagerness or constantly hunts for itself alone, without entering differently than under obligation with its leader, does not correspond to the requirements for the practical hunt use.

V. Part

Performance records in the practical hunt enterprise

§ 70 general

**(1) on some for the breed questions substantial examination results can give only very imperfect or no answer to a hunting dog race. Only the practical hunt enterprise offers here opportunity for reliable evaluation. Therefore great importance is to be attached to the performance records in the practical hunt enterprise.

**(2) the variety of the possible conditions makes however a particularly critical evaluation necessary. Above all it is to be made certain that the respective achievements of the dog are free of doubts confirmed by sufficiently adept and objective witnesses, who are neither owners or breeders **Hundesnoch of family members dog leaders.

Awarding of achievement characters will usually have to be made dependent on it that at least one of the witnesses of recognized judges of the hunt customs dog federation is.

**(3) over the respective " achievement in the practical hunt enterprise " a minute is to be manufactured, which must be signed by the witnesses and the dog leader. The minute over the responsible regional committee chairman of the **cVdw to is association-testwaited or its place representatives are passed on. After **Ueberfpruefung and acknowledgment of the achievement the office for breed book issues the appropriate certificate and gives the achievement character.

§ 71 hardness-oh-point

**(1) the animal law for the protection forbids straightening and examining dogs for sharpness at living animals (§ 3 number 7 animal law for the protection **i.d.F.v. 18,8,1986). The statement of the hardness (sharpness) of a dog opposite militaryful robbery game or robbery things can rely therefore only on coincidental observations occasionally the practical hunt practice.

**(2) if a dog comes with free work in the practical hunt use (for example with the **Stoebern) to a piece militaryful robbery game or robbery things and if it kills it, before someone can intervene with the firearm, then can this by adept witnesses (in accordance with § 70) be confirmed and an achievement report be made,

§ 72 performance record on natural welding track

**(1) for the **cDw as a forest customs dog after the shot special meaning comes to the work. To it above all also the welding on bowl game belongs. Dogs, which carry out therein property, also **zuechterisch often valuable to be and be supposed by a special achievement character to be therefore marked. This consists of a colon: which is set before the name of the dog (see part of VIII this **cPo).

**(2) for the assignment of the achievement character the following minimum requirements apply.

•Belt work: At least 500 meters on at least five hours of old **Wundfaehrte. With snow situation visible **Wundfaehrten is not possible. The dog is to lead after exact investigation of the first shot at the long belt surely and briskly to the piece. Temptation tracks of healthy game it may show, them however not further follow. Repeated renewed setting excludes the distribution of the achievement character, even if the work finally led still to success. To fair guidance is to be paid attention.

•Agitation: If the dog comes to the fresh **Wundbett of the piece not ended yet, or pulls the ill piece before the belt work ago, then it, to the agitation fastened, must which **Wundfaehrte blow loud follow and which to conditions rush or down-pull ill piece.

•Places: It must reliably place ill, militaryful bowl game, which the dog cannot down-pull and dismiss. If the dog leaves the piece once placed and returns to its leader, the achievement character is to be malfunctioned to it, even if it should have carried a good belt work and agitation out before.

**(3) for the distribution of the achievement character good achievements are necessary in every three points (belt work, agitation, places of militaryful game). The achievements can be furnished however with different work. So e.g. a work can be only good belt work, another a long agitation after short belt work and exist third in sharp placing of a militaryful piece without difficult belt work and after short agitation.

**(4) as militaryful bowl game usually apply black game (excluded weak **Frischlinge), rotwild (excluded weak calves), **Dam ones and **Sikahir, chamois game (excluded kitze and **Jaehrlinge) and **Muffelwidder.

Work on the rehbock may be evaluated under " places " only exeptionally; about if the dog **were geforkelt by a support and it nevertheless places further sharply or down-pulls. Otherwise is bare placing of little militaryful game, which a reliably wild-sharp dog would have to actually down-pull not to evaluate here.

**(5) dogs, which do not have an opportunity to work on militaryful bowl game fulfilled however the requirements regarding the belt work as well as rushing with following reliable **Niederziehen of weaker bowl game (above all rehwild), specified in number 2, know the achievement character set in parentheses ( receive.

**(6) the work must be confirmed by at least two witnesses (§ 70).

§ 73 **Weitjagernachweis

**(1) the **Brackenerbe, i.e. the urge to follow a once taken up trace and/or track as far as possible until in particular the hare back-turns again into the area of its **Sasse, are kept with a part of our dogs still good. Apart from it that some forest hunters in appropriate districts hunt in this way and look for such dogs, it must have such " **Weitjager " beside reliable trace sound and good nose strongly minted trace trace and be completely trace faithful, possess thus those plants, which are to be so extremely importantly usually seized for the safe **Verlorenbringer and welding dog and nevertheless testmoderately with difficulty. Furthermore the preservation of this far chase r. situation in some trunks can be extraordinarily important for the breed of our race.

**(2) the evaluation can both occasionally the **Stoeberarbeit on **cGp (see § 47 this **cPo) as well as in the practical hunt enterprise to be made.

**(3) the dog must have already in former times proven its trace trace, trace **lautstrich as achievement characters have thus already led.

**(4) the dog is to be fastened to the **Stoebern. As soon as it lifted a hare, the leader goes there, where he back-expects the hare ("hare cross way"). Essentially it depends on the fact that the hare is only fired at if it really returns and not, if it starts coincidentally briefly after lifting protecting. Furthermore it must really concern the **angejagten hare and not around a hare coincidentally high-made by the sound of the dog. The dog must follow perfectly trace-loud on the hare trace.

**(5) length and duration of the work can be different; in less than 10 minutes the work hardly ever terminated will be. It is crucial that for the judges no doubt exists that the dog has actually the **angejagten hare " brought ".

**(6) as achievement characters the **Weitjager over the **Spurlautstrich receives \ a second homogeneous line \\, thus " doubled **Spurlautstrich ". A note is not assigned.

**(7) if a dog shows itself as **Rehhetzer, then it may not receive the " **Weitjagerstrich " because straight with the **Weitjager is large value on the obedience at bowl game to put (see § 67 this **cPo.

**(8) if the **Weitjagernachweis takes place occasionally the practical hunt practice, then must at least 2 recognized (in the judge list of the **cVdw registered) test judges to be present § 6 as well as § 7 this **cPo are in a general manner to be used. The judges write a short report and submit it immediately to the chairman of the responsible regional committee, which passes him on to the office for breed book.

If the announced achievements meet the requirements, the office for breed book the dog leader issues an appropriate certificate (awarding the achievement character).

§ 74 performance record at black game

**(1) with the successful **Bejagung of black game special meaning is attached to the employment of suitable dogs. The spreading of the black game and thus the possibility and necessity of its **Bejagung rather still increase - contrary to many other kinds of game -. Thus the **cDw finds one of its most important tasks here as **Stoeberhund.

**(2) for the successful work " before the shot " at black game the balance of different plants (nerve strength, hardness, sharpness, perseverance, understanding of hunt) is the basis. These plants are general for the preservation of the performance standard of the race of paramount importance. Together with practical experience they mark those dogs, on which, as practice shows, the success of such sow hunts depends crucially:

**(3) around dogs, which work reliably on black game, particularly to put out, the achievement character " S " can be assigned, if a dog furnishes the as can be prove following achievements during the practical hunt practice in free game course (including legally recognized hunt gates of at least self-hunt size :

A) the dog must only find 47 **(1) in a thickening existing black game as to the **Stoebern fastened a dog under the conditions § alone

b) it must blow up the found black game (gang and/or hunt unique pieces so persistent until they leave the turned off range. If the **Sauen cannot be hunted, then the dog must place continuously (at least 10 minutes).

CC left) if the dog the black game posed temporarily, can receive it the achievement character only if it concerns particulars or several strong **Sauen and if the dog returns immediately to establishment of contact to the leader to the game and this further barked

CD) the achievement character may not be assigned, if the work takes place only at weak **Frischlingen (without **Bache), is smaller than the dog.

**(4) the work must be confirmed by at least two witnesses (§ 70).

Special tests

§ 75 general

As special tests are considered:

•Examinations, which are not regulated according to the test order of the **cVdw, which is accomplished however by regional committees of the **cVdw, or in those **cDw participate with other organizers (like federation examinations § 76), as well as

•the examination after the shot (§ 77).

§ 76 federation examinations

**(1) so far regional committees of the **cVdw examinations accomplish, which are not regulated according to own test orders of the **cVdw, have it the valid in each case test orders to consider.

That applies particularly to examinations of the hunt customs dog federation (federation examinations), like those

- federation welding examination (**VSwP),

- **Verlorenbringerpruefung (**Vbr) and

- bringing regret examination (**Btr) as well as

- the guidelines for the assignment of the stop badge

**(2) at the time of execution by federation examinations only test judges are to be used, who are registered as federation judges in the judge list of the hunt customs dog federation.

During the federation welding examination (**VSwP) only such test judges can be used, who are of the hunt customs dog federation recognized welding judge.

**(3) the organizing regional committee and/or the test leader has, independently of the reporting prescribed in each case to the album leader of the hunt customs dog federation, the examination result also to directly testwait the **cVdw to announce (in a general manner after § 13 this **cPo). Thus in particular the publication in the association magazine is to be ensured. Entries into the **DGStB and assignment of achievement characters take place directly via the album leader of the hunt customs dog federation.

**(4) dog leaders, that lead a **cDw on an examination, which is not accomplished by a regional committee of the **cVdw (apart from the o. g. federation special tests e.g. also **cVgp, protection dog examination o. **ae.), is the result - if possible over its responsible regional committee chairman - to testwaits the **cVdw to announce, so that it can be held by the office for breed book and published in the association magazine.

This does not apply to usefulness and/or hunt qualification test according to nationallegal regulations.

For those parts of the **PnS, with which it concerns federation examinations (**VSwP, **Btr), is § 76 to consider.

**(2) while **cEp and **cGp represent the best conditions for the work in practice, the **PnS requires the dog already experienced in the hunt use. This examination makes the highest demands regarding the work after the shot against our dogs. Certified therefore only dogs are in the age of at least 24 months and with existed customs examination. Except **cDw hunting dogs of all races can become certified, which recognized breed book in one of the hunt customs dog federation are registered and which appear physically suitable for the required achievements.

**(3) the **PnS consists of 6 test subjects:

A) welding: **VSwP on over night track (over 20 hours) in accordance with **VSwPO of the hunt customs dog federation.

b) hare-drags: 500 m with 4 hooks, on whole distance in the forest; the hare which can be brought is to weigh at least 7 Pound.

CC) bringing regret:

- either of fox: according to the regulations for Btr examination of the hunt customs dog federation (2 hr. before the examination a fox at least 100 m laid out by the place, in which the dog is fastened)

- or of hare: briefly before the examination a hare is laid out approx. 50 to 80 m by the place, in which the dog is fastened, in more closely covering.

In both cases the dog without bringing instruction must be sent to the **Stoebern. It must find, take up and bring the bringing game independent within at the most 20 minutes.

CD) losing bringing of feather/spring game: Two pieces feather/spring game laid out in a field with high covering (e.g. carrots or raps), which under 80 m not be broad should, without schleppe. A piece lies with simpler, the other one during double pellet range of fire (approx. 30 and 60 m). The dog is to find and bring in free losing search. The leader may direct its dog from a side of the field (by the judges one communicates) out. The two partial notes are summarized, the average result in the final note. If the dog brings only one piece, at the most the note 2 may be assigned.

e) losing bringing from reed water: A dead duck must be lose-looked for and brought in reed water, which is separate from the country by at least 20-30 m free water.

f) bringing of the other bank: On the opposite bank one at least 50 m broad waters is the dog 100 m for a long time duck-drag (this runs, coming from the water, which first 5 m parallel to the bank) take up and which duck over the water return.

**(4) the entire examination is as hunt near as possible accomplished. For the schleppen -, bringing and water work apply the regulations for the customs examination in a general manner (§ 48 ff). For all bringing work (test fan No. b to f) the maximum time between first fastening of the dog and the conclusion of the work amounts to 20 minutes

**(5) for the evaluation the following pattern applies. The assignment of the notes and calculations of the scores take place in accordance with **cVgpo (5th point system).
