The CSV a working breed - how do I understand the codes

[Kerstin]

Hello Community,

can you please explain to me, what does the dog have to do at following Czech exams:

ZPU 2,
ZM
ZVV1 - 3?

Do you have to pass the previous exam to go to the next step e.g. ZOP, ZPU 1, ZPU 2 and then? Or can you just jump in?

Is there any source where it is translated into English or German?

Thanks in advance for your help and best regards,

Kerstin

Unfortunatelly, there is no translation for these exams. However, to be able to apply for test ZPU 2, you have to first pass test ZOP and then ZPU1.
Also, for applying to ZVV1-3, you have to first pass ZM.

ZOP is more or less simple obedience (on leash, off leash and in group), and with going higher (ZPU1 - ZPU2) the difficulty graduates plus tracking or defence is added to the obedience. ZOP in fact means "zakladni ovladatelnost psa" which is basic controllability of the dog.

ZM is "zakladni minimum" which is "basic minimum". This is test, where all three important parts are tested - tracking, obedience, defence. Going higher (ZVV1-3) the test gets more diffiult, like the track is longer and older, more complicated, the defence is harder and more is asked in obedience etc.

Thanks Mirka,

I have some more questions: Can you compare ZM/ZVV with SchH/IPO exams with similar exercises or whats different?

What are the differences in the obedience part ZPU1 to ZPU2? On ZPU2 can you choose tracking & obedience only or has to dog to do defence work?

Regards,
Kerstin

No I can´t. This is better explained by somebody, who has "hands on" experience with these tests. I can look at the tests and what is required on them, but I cannot compare them and explain the differences. Theoretically, I believe they are equally difficult, however I find IPO more difficult for CSWs, because IPO is a lot about the speed in which the dog performs, accuracy etc. The Czech exam system (ZM, ZVV) is more about the real use of the dog.

All obedience in ZPU1 is done off leash. ZPU1 is still divided into individual obedience with the dog and then obedience in the group. Plus the excersise of the choise - either guarding the object, or tracking.

ZPU2 consists of tracking, obedience and defence. No choices are given, to absolve it, you must do all three things. ZPU2 is close to what is required on ZM or ZVV1. There is no group obedience or other group exercises in ZPU2.

The obedience of ZPU2 is similar to ZPU 1, but harder. For example, in ZPU1 you have simple aport of object. In ZPU2, the dog has to do the aport jumping over obstacle there and back. In ZPU1, the dog has to bark in "heel" position. In ZPU2, the dog must sit one step in front of you and bark etc.

So far not...but we plan to translate them.. Not the whole regulations but at last the list of exercises for every exam... I hope it will help...
I hope only that the winter this year will be strong and there will be no more CzW meetings... (it means we will have enough free time to work on it )

If it can help you Andrea Pecharova (Foresta Incantata Kennel)translated something in italian e maybe exist one translator that can translate from italian to german.
You can read it on :
Foresta Incantata's Website
http://www.forestaincantata.it/Brevetti.htm

or there (my web site,only in italian)
http://www.pilamaya.it/lavoro.htm

and many thanks to Andrea that has permitted me to understand something in this czech exams

[Kerstin]

That is a great overview of most exams. I am still thinking about whats harder to understand? Czech or Italian? Maybe/Hopefully sooner or later somebody is able to translate it in English or even better in German I hope. And I hope it is a human....

The Google language translator tried hard, but it did not make any sense. No dog people programming this

But thanks again, I think I know someone I can ask then, when I need to find out something.
