Subject Matter: Directive for the Measuring at Shows and Breed Surveys.
Dear Colleagues
At this year s Annual General Meeting our application of restricted intermittence o
f the Standard in
regards to the size limits for the time being approx. 5 years
up to 1.1.2012 wit
h the further
option of an extension was resolved unanimously.
Under no circumstances can we disappoint the meeting, that has put such great fa
ith in us.
This means greatest care and integrity is to be utilized during the measuring of
our dogs in
determining the measuring results. The goal set is as follows: Implementation of
a Breed Value for
size. The prerequisite for this is absolutely reliable size data.
Breed Values are only as good as the presented data
In addition to the determined size, the depth of chest is to be ascertained.
The size is to be determined with our mechanical survey- measuring stick. The me
asurement is taken
from the wither, falling in a plumb line, just touching the elbow joint, whilst
the dog is standing with the
four legs in a normal position on a firm surface i.e. a board with non slip surf
ace, 2m x 1.5m.

The measuring of the depth of chest is achieved in the same manner from the with
er to the underside
of the chest
the measuring stick touches the elbow . (attachment 2)
At the BSZS there will be boards of the above listed size and construction in ev
ery ring. I ask of the
State-Breed wardens to remind their State Clubs, that for show
or breed survey e
vents, the
appropriate boards are to be available from now on.
The measuring results will be transferred into the lists prepared in advance, an
d must be sent to the
Head Office, SID- evaluation department, within 10 days (by post, fax or e-mail)
by all colleagues.
NOTE: With this pre-prepared list, you will also receive important information i
n respect to the Breed
Value as well as the HD/ED results of the respective dog.
This email address is: : bewertungen@schaeferhunde.de
Those of our colleagues who have not yet sent in the measurements taken over the
first half year,
should for completion, please attend to this now.
In future you will receive a list of the dogs entered in your classes, sent by t
he Main Office, before the
event. For the exhibited dogs the following parameters will have to be completed
.
1. Size. (Measure in cm.)
2. Depth of chest (in cm)
3. Foreign country (bred in which country)
4. Abbreviation for population: (Zucht (Z), Leistung (L) nicht ermittelbar (U))
Note: (Show (S), Performance (P), not known (U)
5. Line breeding less than 3-3 (only if LB info is missing in the list.)
Data to be completed by adjudicating judge.

At Breed Surveys, the data is to be entered on the Survey list correctly. ( all
4 taken measurements)
In case of dogs presented for Re-Survey, the newly found size is to be entered u
nder Changes.
The data-material is collected by the Head Office and used for the development o
f a data basis.
It is clear to me, that there will also be differences in measuring results repo
rted back. In all, this will
level out to the mathematical mean, as the figures given for the individual dog
are worked out, so that
we shall derive at a very correct measurement of the dogs.
The Project Size is assuredly a lengthy process, and must be viewed from the genet
ic side as well as
lived with in phenotype. That means, that from this year we shall start, at our
largest breed event
the
BSZS -in the Jugend Class, only place those dogs in the top 30, that stand withi
n the preceding
standard limits i.e. a max. +1cm over size.
Analogous to this, we plan, from the next year onwards, to extend these measures
also to the
Junghundklasse, as well as in the year following that, expand this also to the G
ebrauchshundklasse.
Please begin to put this into place immediately.
I wish for us all, much success.

Recommended

the
Executive
of
the
SV,
by
the
Working
Group
for
Size
Reduction
put
in
place
by
the
Vereinszuchtwart.
Application
by
the
Executive,
to
the
Federal
AGM.
After
preceding
juridical
investigations
to
be
presented
to
the
board
for
further
recommendation,
and
for
resolution,
to
the
AGM.
Appendice
Action
concept
of
the
SV
for
the
reduction
of

size.
Addendum
to
the
Standard,
to
the
Breeding
Regulations,
the
Show
Regulations
and
Breed
Survey
Regulations.
1. For
the
improvement
of
the
information
for
the
breeders
in
reference
to
the
attribute
Size
there
will
be,
after
detailed
consultation
with
the
population--geneticist
Herr
Dr.
Reiner
Beuing,
a
recommendation
to
establish
for
the
characteristic
of
size,
the
method
of
Breed
Value
Assessment,
in

order
to
attain
the
breeding
goal,
to
stabilize
the
size
of
the
dogs
within
the
limits
of
the
standard.
The
Breed
Values
are
descriptive
numerical
values.
2. The
Breed
Values
will
be,
based
on
the
current
data
with
the
inclusion
of
measurements
covertly
taken
throughout
the
past
years,
that
were
by
agreement
tolerated
even
if
diverging
from
the
standard

mathematically
worked
out
and
offered
to
assist
in
the
decision
making
for
planned
matings.
3. In
order
to
scientifically
safeguard
the
data
basis,
the
present
tolerance
measures
will
be
strictly
adhered
to
for
about
three
generations.
4.
Every
deviation
of
size
from
the
word
of
the
standard
is
to
be
viewed
as
a
fault
the
severity
of
which
should
be
in

direct
proportion
to
its
degree,
at
shows.
5. Through
the
use
of
this
methodology
there
arises
a
self
regulating
procedure
that
is
geared
towards
those
dogs,
that
comply
fully
to
the
requirements
of
the
standard
in
reference
to
size,
being
more
successful,
all
other
qualities
being
equal,
than
others.
That
motivates
the
breeders
to
breed
for
a
little
below
the
upper

limit
of
size,
in
order
to
if
possible,
keep
all
of
the
progeny
within
the
standard.
6. The
measurement
of
a
dog
is
worked
out
from
the
average
of
all
the
measurements
by
the
Breed
Book
Office.
The
more
measurements
are
available,
the
more
reliable
the
average
information
for
the
Breed
Value
Assessment.
The
gathering
of
data
will
be
actioned
through

the
forms
at
every
breed
event.
Who
ever
is
the
owner
of
the
dog
at
the
time
of
the
measuring,
can
lodge
an
objection
in
writing,
to
an
individual
measurement
,
at
the
Breed
Registry
office,
within
8
days
.
The
dog
can
then
be
presented
on
prior
application
in
writing,
to
the
Vereinszuchtwart.
The
measurement
taken
by
him,
will

then
be
added
to
the
average
measurements.
