Differences in bonitations...

[massimo]

I have no time to make official request but anyway it is not SO important for me.
Somebody asked me a question and for some reason I'm not sure if I can reply.
Are the recent bonitations mad in Italy:
Recognized or not from Czech and Slovak club?
Does anybody in contact with the club know this reply?
I'm not speaking about this site, we know that the Italian bonitations are not valid for wolfdog.org, but for the official clubs?
Sasha? Hanka? do you know?

On, Skandinavian judges can´t do that for own breeded dogs (dogs from their kennel)

FCI judges have 6 month rules... I think?

Rules have same in all FCI countries.

and results looks little bit reliadle if rules can be different.....

now...returning to the initial reason of discussion, there is still an open question nobody has really answered to.
1) in slovak and czech officially recognized bonitations.
Is the lower height limit of 65cm a STRICT limit under which a dog will SURELY get P14?
I know for sure because I asked Sona Bognarova the lower limit of 60cm is NOT strict for females and they can get a P5 code if 1cm less and everything else is ok.
Is this the same for males in SK? in CZ?
As Oskar Dora is one of the most titled specialized living CSW judges, either the reply is YES for Slovakia or the reply is NO for slovakia and it was an ecception for Poland Bonitation. I suppose there was no special Polish bonitation and it is allowed in Slovakia. Anybody can reply from CZ?

my personal opinion (so it means nothing ) is that they should get P14 but P14 should be allowed to breed in special conditions monitored by the club.
Otherwise 73cm dogs risk the chance not to be born from 64,5cm ones...

I will add just another comment for those who have never seen a bonitation: Height on Bonitation is just the height measured by the judge during the bonitation.
It is NOT NECESSARILY correct, 1 or even 2 cm sometimes are "lost" because the dog is not in correct position and bending down.
The opposite can also happen: If you have a 58-59cm female, it is quite easy to make her become 61cm... I've seen it with my own eyes. It is not correct too, but it saves the dog from being disqualified from breeding (and It is a pity)
I agree with Margo, Px factor is sometimes not good.
Just make a list of defects, disqualifying and light, and result should be OK for breeding or NOT ok for breeding.

Sure - but if it is right? Was it really better to make the same in Pozna and ask Oskar "Please write Daimon A65 or A66 because it will look NICER and nobody will make any problems beause of it"? Of course Oskar would not make it for us but as you wrote - in MANY cases it is made like this expacially in Czech Republic in order to "save the dog from being disqualified from breeding".
But when we will hide the size you know what will happen? An owner with the STANDARD male (65 cm on the papers but 64 in reality) will cover a STANDARD female (61 in papers and 58 in reality) and the new puppy owners will be SHOCKED how it is possible their puppy is only 55 cm....

It is REALLY better to write the real data to the bonitation cards because when the data is faulsed (f.e. small dogs has been added some cm of height or very small dogs (much under minimum) are hidden by their owners so nobody can see they are much too small but people breed with them) than you have no improvement by the whole breed and sometimes breeders which really want to do their best and use only good dogs are cheated and unconscious use dogs with SERIOUS DISQUALIFYING FAULTS (because in many cases they have NO idea they use dog or buy a puppy from CzW which do not have for example the typical height).

CZ dogs below standard, both males and females, were ALWAYS P14 (except for once, but judge was Dora...)
So, I suppose I already have a reply: CZ are strict to the cm, slovaks not.

We know just many years is by Slovakian club not strictly limit. Why, can everybody think about . Standard dont give the alternative. I still believe that word "minimum" have always same sense - less is not possible. Or have somebody other sense of this word ?

Nobody's perfect. Oskar is freind of my, but he make the bonitation in the slovakian "borders". Generally are CZ and SK bonitation build on same principles, but still exist the differences. Bonitations always developed. 30 years ago looks the bonitation little other, then today.
I critise e.g., that in Pozna were 2 dogs by bonitations shy. And Oskar dont write P14, but breaks the bonitation. Why, when every dog have oficially chance repeat once the character test of bonitation and change the code ?

Massimo many times we have totally other meanings, but this your words can I sign 100%.

It is exactly because of the difference of slovakian bonitation... In Slovakia you judge everything. Not only character test but also how the dog behaves whole time (also during the measurements). So it is not possible to make the character test ONLY - you have to repeat whole bonitation.
In the case of the dogs the bonitation have been broken and will be finished later (maybe soon). So the dogs can repeat ONLY the character test...

Right.. but... it means that males 65cm tall and higher are typical and below 65cm are too short. It's only up to the judge to evaluate how big fault the 1cm is for him. It's obviously a fault according to standard but the same is with dark eyes, big ears, wrong body indexes. It's written "minimum 65cm" but it also written for example "Length of muzzle : Length of cranial region : 1 : 1.5" ... so what's about it? Does it mean that dog with the proportions of 1:1,49 should be disqualified or maybe 1:1,45?? Or 1:1,33?? It's up to the judge... "minimum 65cm" means that the judge has no right to say that the dog with 65,5cm is too short. It's typical according to standard since it 65cm or higher.

Funny that is my pesenal opinion to 1cm difference on some parts of a man makes a small difference thank god !!!

I think it is better that we are harder on real problems like HD/ED and hereditary diseases instead !!! like demand DNA tests by 2010 ???

This is the "differences in bonitations " topic......."health of the breed" is another topic.....of course you are absolutly right...health is very important.........
but here not this is the main point...and not the 1 cm................

The bonitation in Pavia was made as official bonitation of the Czech club accoring to the Czech Club rules... Because of it it is fully recognized...

Well, if it was done exactly accodring to slovak or chzech rules (with character test on chain without owner present), than there is a chance, I don't know officially. But if there is no character test, then for sure no.
