Test of impartiality
The impartiality test is a behavioral test of the dog as part of the FCI tests . In this respect, it is part of every test in all clubs that are affiliated with the member clubs of the FCI .
procedure
The impartiality test is carried out before the examination begins. Each participating dog handler turns it loose with his leashed dog individually at Judges before. This then checks the dog's impartiality by checking the tattoo number or the chip number in order to determine the dog's identity. It is forbidden for the judge to touch the dog. If the identity cannot be determined, the dog may not take the test. If the dog shows negative behavior during the impartiality test (see below), it is not allowed to take part in the test. Furthermore, the judge assesses whether the dog is impartial during the entire test. If the judge finds deficiencies, he must break off the examination.
Special assessment of the impartiality test in the companion dog test
In the companion dog test , the passing of which is a prerequisite for all other dog sport tests, the dog's behavior is observed in the second practical part, the so-called traffic part. In this part, the dog comes into contact with other people, such as joggers or cyclists. In the tests that follow, such as the tracking dog test or the working dog test , the impartiality test is usually mastered without any problems.
Judging the dog
The judge assesses the dog's behavior according to three levels:
- Behavior to be assessed positively : “The dog behaves during the examination, e.g. B. neutral, self-confident, safe, attentive, spirited, impartial. "
