Character test (Wesensbeuerteilung) information ZAP (Zuchtanlangenprüfung), BDT (Breed Disposition Test) Breed Disposition Test (BDT) Zuchtanlagenprüfung (ZAP) ZAP information video For clarity the Character Assessment (CAS - WB Wesensbeuerteilung) and ZAP are two completely separate disciplines. The confusion stems from the initial naming of the exercises ie. ZAP 1 and ZAP 2 which has now changed. The CAS is an assessment. In English Character Assessment. In German Wesensbeuerteilung. WB abbreviation on German pedigrees. (age 9-13 month) ZAP is a discipline with Tracking, Obedience and Protection. In English BDT Breed Dispoition Test. In German ZAP Zuchtanlangenprüfung (minimum age 18 month) ZAP is an exercise based on IGP1 but a simplified version theoretically encouraging those with less time to train the opportunity to gain the ZAP qualification to gain a Körung. There are currently no UK judges qualified to assess a ZAP test (BDT Test) The Breeding Disposition Test (BDT) Examination of work performance The examination is divided into NOSEWORK SECTION - with the following variants: tracking or search work OBEDIENCE SECTION POSITIONING, GUARDING AND DEFENCE SECTION Evaluation principles: In the individual sections, the overall performance of all given exercises is first assessed by the assessor. The findings on overall performance in the section are then recorded and announced in an individual statement described on the basis of the work shown by the dog. The emphasis of the assessment is on the way the dog acts with its handler, in particular on the abilities and dispositions of the dog presented. The point of the assessment is not to be more precise, higher, faster, further etc. The dogs performance is then described and stored on the SV database. For each individual section the dog is given a pass or fail. If all three individual sections are passed then the 'BDT' (ZAP) is awarded. In order to successfully pass the BDT the dog must achieve the following percentages in the required sections. NOSEWORK - at least 50% OBEDIENCE - at least 50% POSITIONING, GUARDING AND DEFENCE - at least 60% BDT Nosework tracking variant Exercise requirements Own track, at least 200 paces, 2 legs, 1 angle(90 degrees), 2 objects belonging to the handler (utility objects, inconspicuous in colour, with a maximum size of 5x10cm), at least 20 minutes old, finishing time 15 minutes. A voice command for 'search' The voice command for search is permitted at the beginning of tracking and when restarting after the first object or after a wrong find. At the end the assessor critiques the performance under the following headings and gives the mark pass or fail Scent detection 10% Finding and indicating 20% Tracking disposition work 70% At least 50% must be achieved to pass the exercise. BDT Nosework search variant A search area of 20 x 30 metres, walked by several people, 2 objects belonging to the handler (utility objects , inconspicuous in colour, with a maximum size of 5 x 10 cm), uniform material permitted. 1 object on the left, 1 object on the right, search time 10 minutes. Voice and visual commands are permitted. The voice command 'lost' may be supplemented by the voice command 'search' At the end the assessor critiques the performance under the following headings and gives the mark pass or fail. Search work detection 10% Finding and indicating 50% Search disposition work 40% At least 50% must be achieved to pass the exercise. BDT Obedience Examination of shot indifference Free pursuit Sitting whilst in motion Down and recall Retrieve on level ground Climbing jumps over a 160cm sloping wall Free jumps over a 100cm hurdle Down with encounter Examination of shot indifference The handler goes to the place with the dog on the leash in hand report to the assessor. On command the handler goes with their dog to a pre determined position. The dog is to stand on a loose leash. Two shots (6mm) are fired an interval of at least 3 seconds at a distance of 10 meters. 1 Free pursuit In addition to two changes of gait (normal, fast & slow), two U turns, two right turns and one left turn are to be shown according to the prescribed pattern. The team must also show its demonstration in a moving group of people. Voice commands : one voice command each for: 'heel' (Fuss) at the start and at the changes of gait. 2 Sitting whilst in motion The team is to demonstrate a 10-15 step development from the basic position. The handler the gives the voice command 'SIT' whilst the dog is in movement and moves a further 15 paces away from the dog and turns round directly. The dog must move calmly and directly towards the given position when it hears the voice command. The dog must remain in its position calml until it is collected again on the assessors command. Voice commands: one voice command each for 'heel' (Fuss) and 'sit' (Sitz) basic position. 3 Down in motion with Recall The team is to demonstrate a 10-15 step development from the basic position. The handler then gives the voice command for 'DOWN' whilst moving and move a further 30 paces away from the dog then turns around. The dog is to lay down directly upon hearing the voice command. The dog must remain calmly in the down position, until on the assessors instruction, the handler commands the dog to approach. The dog must run happily and directly to the handler, sit straight in front of the handler and then change to the basic position upon hearing the voice command. Voice commands: one voice command each for heel (Fuss), down (Platz) and here (Hier), 'Heel' (Fuss), basic position. 4 Retrieve on level ground The handler throws a 650kg dumbbell (IGP1) or an object belonging to the handler (approx 20-30cm long, approx 4cm in diameter eg. bitebar . NO BALLS) approximately 10 meters with the dog sitting calmly in the initial basic position. A lunge is permitted. On hearing the voice command, the dog must pick up the object, take it to the handler and sit in front of them. After the object is accepted, on hearing the vice command the dog must change to the final basic position. Voice commands: one voice command each for 'Fetch' (Bring), 'Out' (Aus), 'Heel' (Fuss) basic position. 5 Recall over A Frame The handler uses the voice command ' SIT' to put their dog in the initial basic position at a distance of at least 4 meters in front of the A Frame and then moves to the other side of it. On hearing the voice command , the dog must then demonstrate a climbing jump over the A frame. The dog sits and changes to the final basic position when it hears the voice command. The return jump follows in the same way. The dog is leashed. Voice commands: One voice command each for 'Climb', (Up), 'Sit' (Sitz) and Heel (Fuss) basic position. 6 Recall over Hurdle The handle uses the voice command ' SIT' to put their dog in the initial basic position at distance of a least 4 meters and then moves to the other side of the hurdle. On hearing the voice command , the dog must demonstrate a jump over the hurdle. The dogs sits in front of the handler and then upon command returns to basic position. The return jump is conducted in the same way. The dog is leashed. Voice commands: one voice command each for 'Over' (Up), 'Sit' (Sitz) and 'Heel' (Fuss) basic position. 7 Down with encounter The handler goes with their dog on leash to the designated down position, lays it down with a voice command and secures the dog with attached safety line. The handler moves to the designated position of at least 30 paces. Th hander must remain with their back to the dog. After 3 minute a neutral person crosses past the dog at a distance of 5 metres, remains briefly in the line of sight between dog and handler. After a further 2 minutes, the handler picks up the their dog on the assessors command. On command, the handler puts the prone dog in the final basic position with a voice command and leashes it. Voice commands: one voice command each for 'Down' (Platz) , 'Heel' (FUSS) Basic position. Overall obedience assessment For the BDT , the overall impression of all exercises in obedience should be described in four individual assessments. These are : teamwork, performance/technique, retrieving performance and jumping ability. In the assessment, the focus is on the dogs basic abilities and dispositions when interacting with the handler, how is technique, how does the dog retrieve and how does the dog jump. Obedience assessment breakdown Teamwork 25% Performance and technique 25% Retrieve 25% Jumps 25% At least 50% must be achieved to pass the exercise Positioning, guarding and defence Search for helper Hold and Bark Handling under stress Ambush on handler Confrontation at a distance General regulations Hides/blinds are to be provided in a suitable place. The necessary markings/ distances are to be determined by the assessor. Helpers/clothing The helper must be equipped with a protective suit, protection sleeve and a soft stick. The helper may only work when instructed by the assessor. The handler is free to decide on the manner in which they remove the soft stick from the helper during disarming. One or two helpers may be used during BDT tests. The same helper must be used for all handler within a BDT. A single change of helper is permitted if the helper themselves has an active dog at the event Exercise 1 Search for the helper. Starting in the basic position on the imaginary centre line, the handler takes their dog off leash and sends it in the direction of the helper's hiding spot with a a voice and a visual command. Voice command: one voice command for search Seek (Revere) Exercise 2 Hold and Bark The dog must corner the helper as soon as found, at the same time the dog must bark at the helper. On the assessors instruction the handler fetches or recals the dog to put it back on leash. Voice command: 'search' (Revere), ''Heel' (Fuss) Exercise 3 Handling under stress (exercise 3 & 4 short attack (slang) On the assessors instruction, the handler proceeds with their dog on leash from the hide where the hold and bark has finished to the marked spot for the start of the transport. The course of the transport is determined by the assessor. The transport is started out with the dog on leash to a ground marker about 25 paces away from the ambush point. At this point the dog is put in the basic position and unleashed. Leash either pocketed or hung over shoulder. Further transport with dog following freely in the direction of the ambush point. Voice command: one voice command for 'Heel' (Fuss) Exercise 4 Ambush on handler (exercise 3 & 4 short attack (slang) When the team is about 7 paces away on the assessors instruction the helper coming out of the hide ambushes the handler. On its own and without the handlers assistance the dog must thwart the ambush. The helper must push the dog in a straight line in a threatening manner for about 15 paces. On hearing the voice command, the dog must release the helper and guard them until it is retrieved. Voice command : one command for release 'Out' Exercise 5 Confrontation at a distance (long attack (slang) The handler proceeds with the dog on leash to the required starting point. The dog must be attentive to the helper. The collar of the dog may be held, but must not be stimulated by the handler. On the assessors command the helper comes out of the hide walks to the imaginary centre line and then makes a frontal attack on the dog handler. Upon assessors instruction the handler releases the dog with a voice command. The dog must thwart the attack by the helper. During the drive (stress phase) the dog must remain unimpressed. The helper stops on the assessors instruction. After the helper has stopped the dog must release on voice command and remain in a guarding position. At assessors instruction the handler walks at normal pace to the dog puts in the basic position and puts the leash on. The soft stick is taken from the helper. A short side transport of the helper to the assessor follows. The team stops in front of the assessor with the handler handing over the soft stick to the assessor. Voice command: one voice command for release 'Out' and for heelwork 'Heel' (Fuss). The dog is assessed in 5 areas and converted into an internal numerical score for the purpose of statistical evaluation. No points are awarded. In stead the working method and disposition of the dog are described. The focus is on the dogs abilities and dispositions when interacting with its handler. This means how does the dog work when searching and barking, how is its defensive behaviour when the handler is ambushed and how does the dog present itself whenconronted at a distance, how is the grip behaviour and how easy is the dog to handle under stress. Assessment of defence exercises Handling 10% searching and guarding 20% Ambush on handler 30% Confrontation at a distance 20% Grip behaviour At least 60% must be achieved to pass the exercise Termination/disqualification If a dog fails a defence exercise or allows itself to be displaced, the searching, guarding and defence exercises section is to be terminated. If a dog fails to release on the second additional command during a defence exercise or bites the helper outside the protection sleeve, the team is to be disqualified. At the conclusion of the discussion a pass or fail rating is given. Deutsche Schäferhundliga von Großbritannien

Junior handling at WUSV/GSDL-BRG regional events. Deutsche Schäferhundliga von Großbritannien Junior Handling Seit seiner Einführung bei den WUSV/GSDL-BRG-Regionalveranstaltungen erfreut sich das Junior-Handling immer größerer Beliebtheit. Die Klassen werden in zwei Altersgruppen eingeteilt. 6-11 und 12-16 Für jede Altersgruppe wurde eine eigene Liste mit Fragen erstellt, und einige dieser Fragen werden jedem Nachwuchsführer vor der Vorstellung seines Hundes gestellt. (Das Erlernen verschiedener Körperteile und des Rassestandards des Deutschen Schäferhundes hat sich auch als sehr lehrreich erwiesen.) Anschließend führt jeder Junior-Führer den Hund auf genau die gleiche Weise vor, wie dies auch für alle anderen Klassen der Fall wäre. Die Richter erwarten in dieser Phase keine Perfektion und helfen dem Jugendlichen bei der Erziehung. Die ersten regionalen Veranstaltungen begannen im Jahr 2013 und haben dazu geführt, dass viele der Nachwuchsführer sich mittlerweile weiterentwickelt haben und ihnen von Züchtern und Ausstellern die Möglichkeit gegeben werden, in den wettbewerbsintensiveren Klassen zu kämpfen. Jährliche Top-10-Auszeichnungen Unser Ziel ist es, unseren jungen Handlern größtmögliche Aufmerksamkeit zu verschaffen und sie alle über die Website der GSD League zu bewerben. Können die Eltern unserer Junior-Handler bitte ihre Fotos beim Handling bei verschiedenen Veranstaltungen zur Verfügung stellen? Damit erklären Sie sich mit der Veröffentlichung der Fotos auf der GSDL-Website einverstanden. Kontaktieren Sie dinura@hotmail.co.uk

Hitzschlag Play biting Tolerance to touch Toilet training Puppy teeth Crate training Heatstroke Adolescence Nutrition Dogs and toys Dwarfism Dog friendly garden Christmas time Fireworks EVERY SECOND COUNTS The weather is always a topic of conversation an even more so after recent heat waves which may now become a regular occurrence in the future. Most people are aware of the dangers of heatstroke, and take precautions to protect themselves. Dogs are reliant on their owners protecting them from being in a situation which could result in this extremely distressing potentially fatal condition. A dog`s normal body temperature is around 37.8 - 38.9 degrees centigrade. To maintain the body temperature a dog will instinctively when it falls below this, if the dogs body temperature increases this will stimulate the dog to pant as the normal cooling function. Dogs do not sweat if overheated as the sweat glands they have are on the paw pads which are not a significant aid to heat loss. REGULATING BODY TEMPERATURE The dog`s respiratory system controls the body temperature by way of panting. By taking rapid breaths in and out air passes over the extended tongue increasing moisture evaporation of saliva, mucus membranes of the nasal passage mouth and lungs. The evaporation of water exchanges hot air from the lungs with cooling external air taking heat away from the body. The evaporation of moisture during panting uses large amounts of water which must be replaced for the dog to maintain effective body cooling, therefore a plentiful supply of cool water is vital. Shade with unobstructed air flow and a low humidity are also necessary for the evaporation process through panting to lower the body temperature for any length of time. In normal situations this cooling system works well. as a dog will instinctively take frequent drinks of water, not exert themselves and find a cool place to lay down, stretching out to contact his less hairy underside with the cool surface. HEATSTROKE RISK The danger of heatstroke occurs when a dog is in an environment or situation where he can no longer self regulate his body temperature loosing the ability to remove excess heat. If he is unable to cool himself his body temperature will very quickly increase to a dangerously high level. In the failed attempt to cool his body the dog will become more and more agitated, generating more heat and humidity to the surrounding temperature. Panting becomes faster. the short quick breaths are not effective in filling and emptying the lungs with air. With insufficient oxygen circulating the dog`s body it will become unable to function and gradually shut down. The neurological and multi organ failure can be fatal in as little as ten minutes. RISK SITUATIONS The most frequent situation resulting in heatstroke is leaving a dog shut in a car in the sun even if the windows are partly open, it does not have to be a particularly hot day for the temperature inside the car to reach dangerous levels for the dog. The more agitated the dog becomes moving around and panting the heat and humidity within the car will rise until the dog`s natural cooling mechanism is overwhelmed, There are other risk circumstances which can lead to heat stress which could progress to heatstroke. A dog confined for a prolonged time in a covered cage can overheat due to poor ventilation and reduced airflow, being left in the sun without shade and water, taking the dog for a walk during the hottest part of the day, prolonged physical activity during hot weather will all generate excess body heat. If the German Shepherd is very old, or very young, or has underlying health issues, or is overweight this will add to the risk factors. RECOGNISING SIGNS OF OVERHEATING The first moments of a dog showing signs of overheating to developing heatstroke can progress alarmingly quickly. Recognising the early signs and taking immediate action is vital, it is not a wait and see situation. The dog will be restless and in obvious distress. Panting will become excessive and prolonged. The affected dog will try to stretch out and start to drool thick saliva. If left untreated in the challenging situation the condition will worsen. The dogs tongue will become tacky as the saliva dries from the continual panting and the lack of water to drink. His heart rate will increase, he will stagger unable to walk, he may vomit, become unresponsive to you. In the later stages he will have muscle tremors, seizures and as his condition deteriorates he will eventually collapse, unless he has emergency treatment he will become unconscious and will die. If this sounds distressing it`s because it is, especially as most cases are highly preventable. Action must be taken at the very first signs of heat stress, delay can be fatal. TAKE ACTION NOW The dog`s body is overheating so the first goal is to lower his body temperature by moving him to a shaded cool place, if possible with a cool breeze, cool air from a fan or an air conditioned room. Keep him calm and give him a drink of water. Cool water sponged or poured gently, concentrating on his head, neck and groin areas will be beneficial in cooling him. If in the early stages of overheating or a mild case of heat stress he should gradually start to recover with this treatment. keep him quiet and cool offer him frequent small drinks of water allowing him to fully recover. A dog already in the advanced stages of heatstroke may have collapsed or be unconscious, IMMEDIATELY remove him from the hot environment and lay him on his side(a cool surface such as a tiled floor or shaded grass if available is ideal. If he is unconscious make sure his airways are clear. Open his mouth and pull his tongue forward, keep his head extended. Bringing his body temperature down is now an acute emergency. As with early stages cool water is needed. Use a hose on a gentle shower or pour water if a hose is not available on his head (make sure to avoid his nose and mouth) neck, groin and lower back. Don`t use iced water as this will cause the blood vessels in the skin to contract restricting blood flow and cooling, (but if that is all that is available use it carefully its better than doing nothing. Keep the water treatment up until his breathing starts to settle but not so long that the dog starts to shiver (shivering is the body trying to increase the temperature) offer him a drink of cool water as he begins to recover. Depending on the severity of his condition he should be transported as quickly as possible, preferably in a vehicle with air conditioning set on chill to continue cooling him to the nearest veterinary surgery, make a phone call before to let them know you are on your way, while asking them if any additional first aid is required for the dog. A dog that has been affected by a severe case of heatstroke may need intravenous fluids to treat the dehydration and cool the body, oxygen to aid his breathing and ongoing monitoring and treatment for any internal damage. Even a mild case of overheating when the dog appears recovered monitor his condition for a few days after in case of any internal complications. PREVENTION IS BETTER THAN CURE Never leave your German Shepherd unattended in a parked car even in cooler spring sun. Remember if your car is in the shade when you leave it the sun does not stay in the same position and the car may soon be in full sun. Leaving the dog in the car "for just a minute" can be too long on a hot day. When your dog is travelling in the car on a sunny day, provide a cool pad for him to lie on, good ventilation, shaded windows and plan regular breaks to give him a drink of water. A void taking him for a walk, chasing a ball, prolonged exercise during the warmest part of the day. Early morning or evening will be cooler and the best time for his exercise, but when it is very hot do not over do it. Do not leave your German Shepherd in a hot room, garage, kennel or conservatory. Close curtains or blinds to keep the sun out, trees or an open sided canopy can provide shade without restricting the air flow. Because water evaporation is vital for body cooling provide several water bowls for young dog out of direct sunshine to keep the water cool in case one should get knocked over or emptied. RESCUING A DOG IN A HOT CAR If you see a dog in distress shut in a hot car, ask someone to stay with the car while you try to locate the owner. Make a note of the type, registration and colour of the car. If in a public place or a supermarket car park ask for an announcement to be made over the stores PA system. Breaking into a car to get the dog out could be classed as criminal damage unless you believe you have a lawful excuse because the owner would consent knowing the circumstances. If you see the dog is in danger of dying and must be rescued immediately, phone the police and tell them what you are doing so it is recorded. Take names and contacts of any witnesses and ask them to take photos or video the dog in the car and you gaining entry into the car. Take care when removing the dog from the car it may be scared and disorientated. Quickly follow the advice to treat heatstroke and wait for the dog`s owner and advise them to urgently take the dog to their vet in case of internal damage. RAISING AWARENESS Dogs can be affected by overheating and heatstroke in a variety of situations. When the weather heats up you must be especially careful and do everything you can to protect your German Shepherd because as you can see the body cooling system of a dog relies on certain conditions to be effective. Familiarising yourself and other dog owners with this knowledge could prove invaluable. GILL WARD M.I.A.C.E. Deutsche Schäferhundliga von Großbritannien

AD – Ausdauertest Ausdauerprüfung GSDL ZWECK Der Ausdauertest soll den Nachweis erbringen, dass der Hund zu einer körperlichen Anstrengung fähig ist, ohne dass sich später eine erhebliche Ermüdung einstellt. Der Körperbau und die körperliche Verfassung des Hundes müssen den Anforderungen der gesamten Prüfung standhalten. Die Untersuchung stellt erhöhte Anforderungen an den Körper und die inneren Organe, insbesondere Herz und Lunge. Untersucht aber auch andere Eigenschaften, wie Temperament und Härte. Die mühelose Bewältigung der Leistung muss als Beweis für die körperliche Gesundheit und das Vorhandensein der erforderlichen Antriebe gewertet werden. Vor Beginn der Tests muss die Identität des Hundes überprüft werden. Für die Veranstaltungsgenehmigung gelten die gleichen Bestimmungen wie für die anderen vom Landesverband festgelegten Prüfungen. Das Ergebnis muss im Punktebuch bzw. in der Ahnentafel eingetragen werden. Mit der Beantragung einer Veranstaltungsgenehmigung übernimmt der Veranstalter die Verantwortung, den Härtetest in den Sommermonaten nur in der Frühphase durchzuführen morgens oder in den späten Nachmittagsstunden. Die Außentemperatur sollte 22 °C nicht überschreiten. Grad Celsius (72 F), Die Teilnahme an einem Ausdauertest ist freiwillig. Sollte es im Zuge einer Ausdauerprüfung zu Verletzungen des Hundeführers oder des Hundes kommen, kann weder der Veranstalter noch der Richter haftbar gemacht werden. ZULASSUNG VON HUNDEN Das Mindestalter beträgt 16 Monate. Pro Tag sind maximal 20 Hunde bei einem Richter zugelassen. Bei mehr als 20 Hunden muss ein zweiter Richter eingesetzt werden. Aus Sicherheitsgründen darf jeder Hundeführer nur einen Hund vorführen. Die Hunde müssen vollständig und gut ausgebildet sein. Kranke, schwache, überhitzte, trächtige oder säugende Hündinnen dürfen nicht starten. Zu Beginn einer Prüfung meldet sich der Hundeführer beim Richter. Der Richter muss sicherstellen, dass der Hund in gutem Zustand ist. Hunde, die müde oder unzufrieden wirken, sind von der Teilnahme auszuschließen. Zeigt ein Hund während der Prüfung übermäßige Ermüdungserscheinungen oder andere Beeinträchtigungen, muss der Hund die Prüfung abbrechen. Alle Entscheidungen des Richters sind nicht anfechtbar. BEWERTUNG Punkte und Bewertungen werden nicht vergeben, sondern nur bestanden oder nicht bestanden. TERRAIN Die Prüfung findet auf Straßen oder Wegen unterschiedlicher Beschaffenheit statt. Zum Beispiel: Asphalt- oder unbefestigte Straßen, Gras- oder Feldwege. DISTANZ Die Prüfung umfasst eine Distanz von 20 Kilometern (12,4 Meilen) Länge mit einer Geschwindigkeit von 12–15 Kilometern pro Stunde (7,5–9,3 Meilen pro Stunde). LAUFÜBUNG Der Hundeführer bringt seinen Hund zur Untersuchung in die Ausgangsposition. Der Hund muss (gemäß der Verkehrsordnung) auf der rechten Seite des Hundeführers im normalen Trab neben dem Fahrrad herlaufen. Vermeiden Sie es, den Hund zu schnell laufen zu lassen. Damit sich der Hund jedem Tempo anpassen kann, muss die Leine länger gehalten werden. Verbindungselemente („Springer“) sind erlaubt. Leichtes Ziehen an der Leine ist kein Fehler, allerdings sollte der Hund nicht ständig schleppen und sich daran würgen. Nach den ersten 8 km (5 Meilen) ist eine Pause von 15 Minuten erforderlich. Nach der Pause sind noch 7 km (4,5 Meilen) zu bewältigen, danach gibt es eine Pause von 20 Minuten. In der Pause erhält der Hund die Möglichkeit, sich frei und ohne Zwänge zu bewegen. Kurz vor der Rückkehr zum letzten Laufabschnitt muss der Richter die Hunde auf Ermüdung oder Verletzungen an den Pfoten untersuchen. Ermüdete Hunde oder Hunde, deren Pfoten verletzt sind, müssen getötet werden. Nach Abschluss des letzten Laufabschnitts muss eine Pause von 15 Minuten eingelegt werden. Während der Pause muss dem Hund die Möglichkeit gegeben werden, sich frei und ohne Einschränkungen zu bewegen. Der Richter muss feststellen, ob der Hund Anzeichen von Ermüdung oder Verletzungen an den Pfoten aufweist. Der Richter sollte die Hunde nach Möglichkeit auf dem Fahrrad begleiten, andernfalls sollten sie ihm im Auto folgen. Die Ergebnisse müssen in das Punktebuch eingetragen werden. Es ist erforderlich, dass der Hundeführer/Hunde von einem Kraftfahrzeug begleitet wird, damit Hunde, die nicht weiterfahren können, in das Kraftfahrzeug verladen und zum Start zurücktransportiert werden können. Hunde, die außergewöhnliche Ermüdungserscheinungen aufweisen oder der Mindestgeschwindigkeit von 12 km/h nicht standhalten, können die Prüfung nicht bestehen. DAS ENDE Nach dem Ausdauertest versammeln sich die Hundeführer mit ihren Hunden in Fußstellung. Nach Ermessen des Richters führen die Hunde an der Leine oder ohne Leine eine kurze Fersenübung durch. Der Richter wird den psychischen Zustand der Hunde feststellen und überprüfen. Deutsche Schäferhundliga von Großbritannien
