Pavel, have you seen any really shy or uncontrollable dog perform endurance test exam in prescribed time? Because just running the 40 km without having the paws injured is not enough to perform the exam. It has to be done in limited time. Of course, if you had ideal conditions (no dogs or people around), you could theoreticaly make it. But with dogs and people around, you loose precious time fighting your dog to run along your bike.
I agree that there are much better working exams (by the way, is Agility working exam in your opinion?).
But I don't think this is the topic of this forum (as well as my reply to Mirka, I confess).
