| THE BRIEF STORY OF SCHUTZHUND |
 |
| The special and unique traits
that make a good Schutzhund dog are mostly inherent
characteristics that must be bred. Even among dogs bred out of
Schutzhund litters, only few have the ability to reach SchH I. A
small percentage will have the necessary drive, intelligence and
mostly the desire to achieve a title of SchH III. |

 Schutzhund was originally started
with the German Shepherd dog in Germany. The object was to
assess the working ability of the German shepherd, the herding
dog. Sheep herding was declining so von Stephanitz, whom is the
master of the driving force behind the German Shepherd. He
originated schutzhund as a sport and to evaluate the working
ability of the dog.Schutzhund is the representation of the character and quality of
a dog as a superior breeding stock. The complicatedness of the
schutzhund trial and adversity of the sport would surely
determine the much superior dog whom is physically or
temperamentally suited to complete the title of Schutzhund. The
working dog. The first Schutzhund trial was held in Germany in
1901. These steps were taken to point out the correct working
temperament and ability in the German Shepherd breed. SV (Germany),
the parent club of the breed, developed the Schutzhund trial as a
way of improving and maintaining a reliable dog with the intention
that would be suitable for breeding. |
| WHAT IS SCHUTZHUND
(PROTECTION DOG) |
 Schutzhund
is a German word translates as "protection dog". It
is a sport that mainly focuses on developing and
evaluating those unique traits in dogs that make
them more functional and happier companions to their
owners. It also builds a positive character and
confident in the dog.
Schutzhund is a dog training and breeding sport developed
originally in the 1920's by the Deutsches Shaeferhund Verein
(German Shepherd Dog Club), or SV, in order to maintain the
working ability and the quality of the breed. Schutzhund means
literally "protection dog", the training involves work equally
in tracking, obedience and protection. In order to get a
Schutzhund degree a dog must pass all three phases of the work.
Also, a working title (at least a SchH I) is required for breed
survey purposes (by a breed warden) in order to register an
approved "correctly bred" litter.
There are three major degrees awarded - SchH I, SchH II, and
SchH III. Each level being more difficult to achieve. SchH I
(IPO I) is the apprentice test. A SchH III dog must validate a
superior level of performance, ability and courage.

| The Verein fur Deutsche Schaferhunde (SV), the parent
club, became concerned that this would lead to careless breeding and
undesirable traits such as mental instability, so it developed the
Schutzhund test. Since then, many other countries and working dog
organizations have also adopted Schutzhund as a sport and a test of working
performance in dogs. International rules have been established, and they are
administered by the Verein fur Deutsche Hundesport (VDH). |
