SEIGER SHOW

European- Style Seiger Show
Sunday, 11 August 2002
Judge: Rose Tierney
Bernese Mountain Dog Seiger Show
Showing a dog in a European style Seiger show is a wonderful experience!!! Each dog enters the ring individually; it is evaluated and given a score based on how closely it measures up to the "ideal dog" as described in the breed standard. The dog receives a thorough hands on examination and is assessed in a relaxed and informal manner, standing naturally, and gaiting on a loose lead. The judge is a knowledgeable breeder of Bernese Mountain Dogs, who provides both a written and verbal evaluation of the dog based on several key points in the standard for the education of the owners and spectators. Each dog is given an overall rating that can range from Poor to Excellent. After all the dogs have been evaluated, only those dogs that were rated Excellent (there can be several from the same class!) are brought back into the ring together to vie for Best Male in Seiger, Best Female in Seiger and the ultimate - Best in Seiger Show (which is decide from the best male and best female).
Altered dogs as well as intact dogs are equally welcome in the ring.
This show is a relaxed affair so sit back, learn, and enjoy the experience!!!
EVERYONE WELCOME!!!
Classes:
(The classes are divided by age and sex)
Jungstenklasse: (Youngest) 15 months and under
This class is for all dogs 15 months off age and younger. In this class the puppies will receive an overall critique. The Jugstenklasse critique is not as extensive as the one for older dogs due to the changes that often occur as the dog matures. The puppies will be rated as Very Promising, Promising or Unacceptable. This class of dogs should be full of fun and that is not to be discouraged!
Jugendklasse: (Youth) - 15 - 18 months
This class is for dogs 15-18 months of age. These dogs will likely continue to mature.
Offen Klasse: (Open) - 18 months and older
This class is for dogs 18 months or older that have not yet received a Championship title. Many of these dogs will be in the prime of their life, but may not have been shown much and may lack the steadiness that the Seigerklasse dogs will have.
Seigerklasse: (Specials) - any dog with a recognized championship ie, CKC/ AKC
This class is for dogs that have attained a recognized championship (ie CKC, AKC). These dogs will likely be mature dogs with a steady demeanor in the show ring.
Veteranenklasse: (Veterans) - any dog 7 years and older
This class is for any dog over 7 years of age. These older dogs may have some grey around the face and present the maturity of mind and body, although they always seem to retain some puppy like behavior!
Entry Fee: $30.00 Cdn ($20.00 U.S.)
