...if you want to arrange a trial in your local RSVglobal club
There is the FCI IGP, which has to be applied for in a complicated way. The foreign club asks the kennel club, the kennel club asks the German kennel club (VDH), the VDH asks the President of RSVglobal, and only when everyone agrees can our judge go to the foreign club.
The 2nd option is easier. The foreign club makes an IGP test that is not recognized by the FCI. We can send our judges to do this without any problems.
The 3rd possibility is that the own test of RSV2000, the Schutzhund test (SchH), is carried out. No further consent is required for this.
Most clubs prefer the 3rd variant, because the dog sportler do not go to the FCI and WUSV World Championships anyway. They go to the RSV World Championship, which are held after the Schutzhund test.
You can be a direct member in our german sister association RSV2000 and/or a memeber in a local RSVglobal club of your own choice.
Dr. Helmut Raiser, President RSVglobal, explains how working dog sport judging shapes standards and preserves tradition.
