Yesterday's ZTP

Yesterday we had a ZTP, there were 6 dogs, I put some photo’s how the test goes, over here when you want to breed, one of the dogs must have the ZTP, that’s a rule.

First thing they are doing is checking the chip, or tattoo number, to see if it’s the right dog.






After that the judge will check the male if he is intact, they do measuring to see the height of the dog, and they check the teeth.






Then they look at the outside, let say to the beauty of the dog, he must be put in show stand, and also show his walking.






Then there will be formed a group, and the judge tells how to walk thru the people, people make noise clap hands, throw chairs away when the dog is passed, and also put up a umbrella.
A jogger comes running thru you, and the dog may look but not react to it. The judge also comes a walk right behind you and the dog.






After that he will be shut in, he must sit and let it all happened.





The next thing is walking to the pole, were the dog will be left alone, he is on a rope with a collar, no choke, when you walk to the place there will be several gunshots. When the dog is in his place, the handler walk away and the dog don’t see him or her, after a while left alone, the judge comes thru the dog, and see how his or her reaction is, he must be stable and friendly, he walks away and after a few steps he return, and do the same thing again, the dog may not show fear or aggression.
