Rex_breeding dog contest 2002

After a sign of the handler, the dog has to stop an escaping person who has shot with a gun.

Parts:
1) Waiting the command
2) Manner of pursuit
3) Manner of stopping the decoy
4) Firmness regarding the shooting
5) Letting go
6) Not biting
7) The guarding

The helper escapes after hearing a gunshot of a 9 mm pistol and after receiving a notification of the handler. As soon as the dog is 25 metres away of the starting point, the helper escapes sideways out of sight of the handler and the dog. After the dog has come up another 25 metres, the helper shoots once more with a stretched arm in the direction of the dog, and after this he walks on in a normal tread. After this attempted escape he turns around to sampler and handler. Once the dog has bitten in firmly, helper will walk another 5 to 7 steps.
