What is Kerung? What are its main goals? What documents should a dog, admitted for breeding use, have, and how are they drawn up? Who has the right to take kerung? I tried to answer this and many other questions using the main provisions of SV and my personal experience of passing a kerung with my dog.

From the very first day of the formation of the German Shepherd Dog Breeding Association in Germany, the basis of breeding work was an unbreakable rule: " Breeding work with a German Shepherd is a breeding work for breeding a useful dog, otherwise it is not breeding work at all!" Proceeding from this, the Union developed and adopted the main main documents defining the main criteria for the selection of animals for breeding use. As the breed developed and improved, the requirements for pedigree dogs increased, which ultimately positively influenced the quality of the offspring obtained.

Kerung (korung) is a zootechnical event, the main purpose of which is the selection of breeding breeders, taking into account their behavioral reactions, working qualities and anatomical data

Every year from March 1 to November 30 in each land group (LG), and today there are 20 of them, körung is held once or twice a month. The owner can take this exam with his dog at a convenient time for him. The SV-Zeitung will promptly inform its members about the schedule of this event, indicating the date, time, place and name of the kermeister.

The SV Regulation clearly states the minimum age of dogs that can be used for breeding. Males - 24 months, bitches - 20 months. This condition is necessary, but not sufficient. By the time the kerung passes, the dog must undergo a comprehensive check, which includes the following steps:

1. Pass a training exam at least SchH-1 or IPO-1. Dogs that have reached the age of 18 months and have successfully completed training - BH (companion dog) are allowed to pass the SchH-1 exams. The document confirming this point is the training book (Beurteilungsund-Bewertungsheft), in which the results of examinations and competitions are recorded, indicating the date and place of their holding, the type of service and the number of points scored, the overall mark and the name of the SV judge. A dog can be admitted to the SchH-2 exam at the age of 19 months, subject to passing the SchH-1. Accordingly SchH-3 from 20 months. Thus, by the age of two, the dog can quite realistically claim the highest, third level.

2. Take an endurance test - ad. Dogs from 16 months of age are admitted to this test in SV. The AD test shows that the dog is able to withstand a certain amount of physical activity. In running, the physical capabilities of the dog, the work of the lungs, heart, liver and other organs are best revealed.

According to the conditions of this test, the dog must run on a leash next to the owner, who rides a bicycle 20 km at an average speed of 12-15 km / h. After eight kilometers, they make a stop for 15 minutes. During this break, the judge examines the dog and monitors it for fatigue. Tired dogs are removed. At the end of 15 km, the dog is again stopped for 20 minutes. During the examination, the judge pays special attention to the physical condition of the animal and the condition of the paw pads. Dogs that are tired or have scuffs on their paws are removed from the test. Then the dog runs the remaining 5 km, after which the judge again observes its behavior. Dogs that lack fortitude and strength, are tired and unable to maintain a given speed do not pass the AD test.

After the last break, the participant with the dog, at the request of the judge, demonstrates by the exercise "Side by side", during which the judge determines the psychological state of the dog.

When passing the AD test, no points are awarded, but a pass or fail grade is given. A corresponding entry is made in the training book, signed by the testing judge.

3. Get diagnosed for dysplasia and have in the original pedigree the seal and signature of the radiologist who took the picture. In addition, the number of the dog's tattoo and the date of the picture are indicated there. Just below this signature should be stamped "a" zuerkannt indicating the degree of dysplasia. All X-ray images are deciphered by the main clinic, which is located in Hanover and works closely with SV. All pictures of dogs come here and it is here that the appropriate stamp is put, indicating the degree of dysplasia. The doctors then send the pedigree to Augsburg, where SV is headquartered. Based on these data, a stamp with the letter "a" inside is put in a special column of the pedigree. This icon indicates that the dog has an acceptable degree of dysplasia for use in breeding.
