| SCHUTZHUND 1 (sCHh1 - schhi)
PROTECTION SCHUTZHUND A/1 |
 |
| Rules and Regulations by
DVG America All
Breed Schutzhund Org. - Revised in 1996 |
| |
| Reporting
To The Judge |
- In every case, at the
beginning of Part C [Protection], the Handler must report to
the judge.
- If the handler and dog
cannot report in accordance with the rules, i.e., for
example, the dog breaks and runs to the blind where the
Helper is, the handler is allowed three (3) commands to call
the dog back. If the dog does not return after 3 commands,
protection is terminated.
|
| Reporting |
- With the dog on lead, the
Handler reports to the judge in the basic position. After
reporting to the judge, he takes the starting position for
the blind search and removes the lead.
|
| Blind Search
for the Helper (5 points) |
- Command: "Go
On" (Voran) or "Search" (Revier) and "Here" (Hier) in
conjunction with the call name of the dog are permitted.
- At the judge's command, the
Handler starts his dog on the search. The Handler must show
2 side searches with his dog -- one to the right and one to
the left (or vice versa).
|
| Hold and Bark
(10 points) |
- (Commands:
none)
- At another command from the
judge, the dog is picked up by the Handler. The Handler puts
the dog on lead and goes under cover. The Helper is now
assigned to a new blind that is about 70 to 80 paces away
from the Handler's starting point.
|
| Off Lead
Heeling to the Surprise Attack (5 points) |
- Commands:
"Heel"
- At the judge's command, the
Handler steps out of the blind, takes the basic position and
removes the lead. The lead is hung around the body or placed
in a pocket. At another command from the judge, the Handler
walks in the direction of the Helper blind with the dog
heeling tightly off lead.
- If the dog does not remain
with the Handler, the Helper receives a command from the
judge for a premature Surprise Attack. Five points will be
deducted for not showing the off lead heeling. A partial
score results if the Handler with the dog off lead completes
a minimum of half the distance to the location of the
Surprise Attack.
|
| Off Lead
Heeling to the Surprise Attack (5 points) |
- Defense of a
Surprise Attack (40 points)
- Commands:
"Out" (Aus)
- At the judge's command, the
Helper undertakes an attack on the Handler and dog without
verbal threats. The dog must immediately, confidently and
forcefully defend against the attack by biting hard and
full. After the dog bites, the helper gives him two hits
with a soft [padded] stick on the hindquarters, sides or
withers. In the defense of the attack, encouragement by the
Handler is allowed.
- At the judge's command, the
Helper discontinues the attack and stands still. The dog
must let go on its own or on the single
command "Out" (Aus) and guard
the helper intently.
- At the judge's instruction,
the Handler approaches his dog and with the command,
"Sit" (Sitz), puts it in the basic sit position. The
Handler puts the dog on lead and is instructed by the judge
to go to a designated blind.
|
| |
| Defending Against an Attack
on the Dog and Handler |
- Defending Against an Attack on the Dog and Handler Position and the
Subsequent Hold and Guard (40 points)
- Commands:
"Go On" (Voran), "Out" (Aus), "Heel" (Fuß), "Down" (Platz),
"Sit" (Sitz), "Heel" (Fuß).
- The Handler is called from
the blind by the judge and assumes the assigned position
(center of the field) [with the dog on lead]. The Handler
removes the lead and holds the dog by the collar. The
handler may not stimulate the dog and the dog must sit
quietly next to the Handler. The dog must hold this position
until he is released with the command
"Go On" (Voran) to defend against the attack.
- Up to 3 points will be
deducted for restless behavior.
- The Helper leaves the blind
assigned to him by the judge that is about 70 to 80 paces
away from the Handler and crosses the field at a normal
pace. The Handler orders the Helper to halt by calling
"Stop, stand still!" The Helper ignores this command and
attacks the Handler and dog head on. The judge immediately
after the attack gives the Handler the command to defend
against the attack.
- At that time, the Handler
immediately sends his dog with the command "Go On" (Voran),
and remains where he is
standing.
- The dog must intensely,
forcefully and with a hard, full, confident, calm bite
defend against the attack. When the dog bites, the Helper
drives the dog a short distance, without stick hits, and
then stops resisting at the judge's command. After that, the
dog must out on its own or on the single
command "Out" (Aus) and guard
the helper intently.
- At the judge's command, the
Handler walks directly to the dog at a normal pace. With the
"Sit" (Sitz) command, the
Handler puts his dog in the basic position. If the dog is
already sitting, the behavior of the dog can be reinforced
with the command "Sit" (Sitz).
If the dog takes the down position after the "Out", the down
can likewise be reinforced with the command, "Down" (Platz). The Handler has the Helper
take 3 steps back, tells him to raise his arms and then
downs the dog. The Handler disarms the Helper. After
searching the Helper, the Handler returns to the dog, sits
him and puts the lead on. Before beginning the side
transport, the Handler halts beside the Helper with the dog
in the basic sit position between them. The Handler reports
to the judge.
- The Helper leaves the field.
The score is announced by the judge. Downing the dog during
the critique is allowed.
