On Sunday we will divide us. Those people who are interested in the training should speak with Pavel.
And for the rest we have bonitation and youth presentation. The dogs will be measured and described by Lithuanian judge Daiva Rimaityte:
Few things at the beginning - bonitation and youth presentation will be held according to the new Lithuanian regulations. It is based on the Slovak and Czech regulations but it is deprived of their drawbacks. First it is not a qualification for breeding - Czech and Slovak bonitation are also bonitations "just for fun" - the difference lies in the fact that during the Lithuanian bonitation dogs
do not get notes. Thanks to this there is no "pressure on the glass" that the dog must received the best possible note (even if he do not deserves it).
In addition: the evaluation of indexes is made basing on the original standards set by Hartl and Rosik. It do not take into account the recent developments of the Czech club trying to "smuggle" the acceptance of the German Shepherds indexes which recently causes the degeneration of Czechoslovakian Wolfdogs.
Also the character test is a bit different - more complex and suitable for dogs that are not trained for defense or prepared for it....
In this way it is easy to evaluate your dog and stick to his real qualities - it's actually the only bonitation where you do not need to pay attention to "political correct" codes and the owner gets card where are written the real advantages and disadvantages of his dog (according to the judge). This is seriously the only bonitation where you can enter without fear that a solid rating will hurt the dog...
Now, organizational matters: because the "paperwork" takes long time - so I ask you all to send me information about the dogs which you will want to present during the youth presentation and bonitation.
You can make the final decision and pay fee already on the spot - but I would like to fill out the forms already now as it is easier to put aside filled card then to fulfill an empty card...
Of course there is an opportunity to apply a dog even during the assessment but you would make my life easier if you would send me all the data already now....
