My friends know about bonitation in pavia and very nice dog have bad bonitation code and many bad marks. here you can see three for example

Dear mr. "Lupis", I don't saw you or your friend in Pavia, so please speak abuot things that you know.

Anyway the dogs shown in example have taken P3, and this result isn't so "orrible". I don't agree with some judgment but overall I think mrs Matusincova judged well.

...and mainly because is character!
During "italian" bonitace (without character test ) he gone in panic when somebody outsdide the ring closed the door of his car...

In italian bonitation is NOT test of character?

[Navarre]

sometimes yes, sometimes no...

Now, the c. test of italian club bonitace is similar to CAL 1. The dog never be alone at the picket.

At the year of serramazzoni bonitace, they don't wanted any character test (because in that bonitace were many shy dogs of "some" breeders), but mrs. Bognarova gained, after a hard bargaining, that the dog should be almost alone (however without any threat).
So the test was more easy, but some dogs had troubles( big troubles) even with that easy test.

This is why many italian breeders and owners no more go to bonitaces organized by italian club and manage to organize themselves with the help of foreign kennel clubs (like that in Pavia).
