Exciting news

I didn't realise this was an old thread at first (how did I miss it first time round?!). Was really excited for you, so sad that it didn't work out. Really hope the one in Scotland works out on the next season.

Definitely worth checking out, like I say, it will have a big impact on anyone wanting to do GSD breed shows, IPO or Körung under any SV judges (even the UK-based ones) from next year onwards.
One of the many knock on-effects of Crufts....

Do you think BAGSD and GSDL will be able to get the UK KC to engage in this? Otherwise, surely it will only affect those who want to breed under SV rules? To compete in top IPO competitions all you need is the KC registration as far as I understand it??
 
An SV judge will not be allowed to judge an animal that does not adhere to the criteria. Either in a show or a trial. Even a club trial. At top IPO competitions the dog must also have the required health criteria and I imagine that will eventually filter down to club level - why allow an unhealthy dog to compete at club level if it cannot at national or world level?
After 2018 I don't know if the BVA will suffice as there is no pass/fail grade as in all other schemes.
The pedigree must come from the country of origin.

The KC has no criteria regarding health or working qualifications or DNA or microchipping.
Read any schedule, just turn up with a registered dog of a certain age. It will certainly impact KC-affiliated clubs who want SV judges to officiate at their shows.

Yes! A male pup was born by c-section on Monday. I didn't want to post the news until I knew he would be okay, but he seems a strong pup so fingers crossed all will be well. He is gorgeous, and I will share pics once the breeder has shared the news on her page.
 
A few piccies. Of course I am totally smitten.

What a handsome chap. I am pleased that you have had some good news this week and have something to look forward to. I look forward to seeing pics of him growing up.
 
Thanks Sprig. Sadly, he will not be mine as the breeder wishes to keep him but I will certainly enjoy watching him grow and develop.
