Clean Run - January 2013 - 52

The Judge’s Debriefing
By Lisa M. Selthofer I recently returned home after an incredible weekend of judging the Doberman Pinscher Nationals in the greater Cincinnati, Ohio area and I am excited to share an AKC Excellent Standard course from this specialty. The course is shown in Figure 1. With up to 12 potential off-course options and 4 side-switches, this course required solid obstacle performance as well as keen handling skills. As expected, the Doberman teams not only came prepared for the challenge, but also conquered the

course in style and produced an unheard of 71% qualifying rate! Jumping back in time, I was honored with judging the Doberman Pinscher Nationals five years ago. This experience provided me with a healthy understanding of the Doberman’s large stride and athleticism, and also highlighted the solid training their handlers strive for. I wanted to incorporate that experience into the design of this year’s courses so I made sure to use large spacing and a natural flow and path for the dog.

Knowing how talented the handlers are, I also focused on presenting challenges worthy of their skill level. On this course, the challenges started immediately with off-course jumps after both #1 and #2. Teams who were able to take a short lead-out beyond jump #1 and do a front cross to direct the dog into the #2 tunnel, as shown in Figure 2, were at a slight advantage. From there, most handlers did a front cross after jump #3 so the dog was on their right going over jump #4 and up the #5 dogwalk.
