Difference between VZ40km and SVP1(40km)
 

congratulations for both !!

I have a question: what is the difference between the "old vz 100km" and the new 100km svp3 ?

Last year I did the vz40km in Germany so I'm very curious for the answer.
Is the 40km = svp1 , the 70= svp2 ?

Difference between VZ40km and SVP1(40km)
 

Can anybody tell me what is the difference between VZ40km and SVP1(40km) ...if there is any difference ?

How many stops(brakes) and how long distance between stops(brakes) ?

How long time is one stop(brake) ?

How many times will the dogs be looked at by a vet. during the exam ?

...I only know rules the of German shepherds UHP-exam witch is for 20km.
after 8km. is first stop for 15min. after 7km. more(15km. all in all) is next stop for 20min. and after the last 5km.(20km. all in all) is last stop for 15min. and after this the dog must do some obedience(walking with or without leash) ...at all stops will the dogs be looked at by a vet. and max. 20 dogs per exam and temperature must not get above 22c.

Rolf

Thanks, but as of the understanding of the trials the one to be creditet is Paula (Nebulosa). :)

Rolf

The basic difference is in priciples of exams. SVP exams are very artifically new exams, which were registered mostly for CsW, which dont working and want to have any exam.
VZ exam is standard endurance exam of profesional rescue teams. By SVP can running with dog everyone, by VZ only owner of dog, who with dog working as well. SVP is only runing exam and owner on bicycle. By VZ2 just 10 km bicycle and 10 km run for owner, by VZ3 10 km run and 1 km swimming. VZ exams testing not only dog, but the dog owner es well. So may it be by all meaningfull exams, because in life dont working dog only, but team dog-dog owner, its sorry today, but this princip dont undertstand 99% of dog owners, which dong with dog any exams.

Thanks Pavel :)

Thanks for your explanation Pavel .....I would just like Per Olav very much like to know if a summary of these VZ-exams is translated in english :) ...if not ! does anybody know where can I find it in Czech language ?

Rolf

We dont have exactly text of rules, but generally and very shortly :
1. By all levels of exams must be dog always maximally 3 m from owner (on leash or free).
2. Exam is valid 12 months only - logically is it endurance exam, so that is necessary for owner and dog to testing endurance every year.
3. VZ is not the right exam, but yearly test of endurance of team dog-dog owner.
4. For dog owners over 50 years is maximal limit +30 minutes.
5. By VZ3 is swimming like a 1st discipline.
6. VZ1 is 20 km (dog runs, owner on bicycle) and max. limit is with 2 breaks 120 minutes.
7. VZ2 is 10 km bicycle and 10 km run for owner (dog runs whole 20 km) with maximally 2 breaks with limit 120 minutes.
8. VZ3 is 10 km bicycle, 10 km run and 1 km swiming in limit 150 minutes.

Last year it was not possible to do VZ1-2 exams in Lazne Belohrad. According to the judge the regulation has been cancelled. There is now only SVP/ZVP.

Thanks to both of you :)

I will also like to thank both of you :)

Przemek can you tell me what is the difference between SVP and ZVP ?
I know what SVP is but not ZVP ?

Rolf

Both exams are the same but recognised in different countries. ZVP is the Czech exam and SVP is the Slovak exam. Unfortunately if you did for example ZVP1 you can't go for SVP2 and other way. You have to do SVP1 then SVP2 and SVP3, the same with ZVP. They are identical but as far as I know only Slovak SVP is recognised for Interchampion title.

Once again thanks a lot Przemek :)

As Przemek wrote is it same exam. Difference in shortcut is only because word "exam" is in czech "zkouska" and in slovak "skuska" :D.

Funny :) Thanks.
