Guidelines
5.8. Movement in the ring
5.8.1. The dog is in the starting position on the left side of the competitor.
5.8.2. For all Handling exercises (figures), special attention should be paid to the fact that the competitor should not be between the judge and the dog. The handler must always consider the position of the judge and decide on which side of his dog he should be.
5.8.3. When evaluating front and back movements, the exposed dog moves in a strictly straight line from the judge and back to him (so that the judge does not change his starting position).
5.8.4. When showing a dog in a group, Handler must:
- Lead your dog at a distance from others to avoid collisions;
- Do not interfere with the judge when describing the dog;
- Keep the dog on display in line with the opponents;
- When leading the dog in a circle, keep your distance and do not let the dog catch up with the dog in front.
- In case of interference with the competitor in front, it is correct to bypass him.
- With all figures, special attention must be paid to the fact that the competitor must never be between the judge and the dog.
Explanations
There are several ways to make a turn, we recommend using one of the three most common and expedient methods in the world. It is important that the dog can move forward quickly and without visible inhibition, and that his locomotor system works in the best possible way.
Turning inward (fig. 1)
When turning inward, the dog is first to the left of the participant, when changing direction, the Handler and the dog move towards each other, and the leash is transferred from the left hand to the right hand. This turn is often used during figure running and during the assessment of the locomotor apparatus from the side.
Exponential turn (fig. 2)
With the show turn, which is often practiced in the exterior ring, the dog remains when changing direction to the left of the Handler, who must quickly run around the dog so that it cannot break the pace.
Outward pivot (fig. 3)
When turning outward, the dog to the left of the Handler is circled in a semicircle. The dog looks especially good if Hendler has to lead the next piece away from the judge. Sometimes such a turn is performed towards the judge, especially when showing large breeds of dogs, the dog's movements are then smoother, more effective. In this case, the Handler still has a short time between the judge and the dog. When making such a turn, the size of the dog and the features of its motor system must be taken into account.
Walking the dog straight back and forth (fig.4.1 and fig.4.2)
This exercise gives the judge the opportunity to evaluate the motor system of the exposed dog both from the front and from the back. When executing, you need to pay special attention to the fact that the dog must be led clearly in a straight line in the direction from the judge, and then, without stopping, after turning left (show turn) or right (turn inward) along the same straight line, return back to judge. In this case, the judge does not change his original position. If two dogs are doing the exercise at the same time, both Handlers are advised to ensure that the dogs run next to each other directly in the judge's field of vision and that the dogs start at the same time and away from the judge and vice versa. At the same time, it is not penalized if a dog running faster than another dog has to slow down a little before returning to the judge, because in this case the dogs are led, of course,
Movement along the "Triangle" (Fig. 5)
When moving in a triangle, the judge can sequentially check the movement of the dog from behind, from the side and from the front. The competitor must choose the shape of his triangle so that the judge can evaluate the dog from behind, from the side and from the front. This means that all three sides of the triangle should have approximately the same length and that the side of the triangle opposite the judge is located perpendicular to the direction of his gaze.
Dve izhenie in the form of the letter "T" (Figure 6)
The "T" -shaped movement provides all the conditions for a thorough assessment of the dog's motor system from behind, from the front, and from both sides. In both the triangle and the T, Handler must remember that one of the lines must not be too short and that the line opposite the judge must be perpendicular to his gaze. It is recommended to pay special attention to the turns so that the competitor never obstructs the judge's dog.
L-shaped movement;
The L-shaped movement provides all the conditions for a thorough assessment of the dog's motor system from behind, from the front, and from both sides, but this movement is preferable if the ring is very long and narrow.
Circle (fig. 8.9)
As a rule, the judge stands in the middle of the circle and judges the movements of the displayed dogs from the side. If, changing position, the judge leaves the circle, and this while the dogs are inside him, then the Handler must, before reaching the place where the judge stands, briefly stand on the other side of the dog, and after passing the judge, return to the same place along attitude towards the dog. however, in no case should he be between the judge and the dog.
