The Kennel Club and The British Association For German Shepherd Dogs held a joint meeting on Tuesday 18th May 2010.
Representatives from the KC included the Chairman Mr. Ronnie Irving and Vice Chairman Mr. Bill Hardaway and representatives from BAGSD included the President Mrs D. Gater, Chairman Mr Bob Honey, Vice Chairman Mr Andrew Winfrow, Vice Chairman Mr Wayne Lacey.
Also attending Mr Brian Wooton KC Breed Council Representative.
The following points were discussed regarding the BAGSD involvement :
1. VPG Branches
The Kennel Club has agreed to change VPG to IPO and as from today such branches will now be called BAGSD IPO (International Working Test) Branches
2. WUSV/SV Relationship
a. The structure and aspirations of the WUSV/SV
It was discussed that the WUSV, having started as an informal ‘talking shop”, had developed into a more formal coalition with a constitution.
It was noted that the WUSV constitution specifically declared its object and function as ‘the worldwide implementation of : the uniform breeding and training of German Shepherd dogs’
b. The British Sieger Event (WUSV working party/Breed Council)
The Kennel Club stated that it had no objection to the holding of the British Sieger event or other events being held under WUSV rules. It simply asks that KC registered clubs should inform it of and allow it the opportunity to comment on such events.
c. Regional Events (BAGSD)
The Kennel Club asked that if the BAGSD were to hold Regional Events billed as a “Special event recognised by the KC” they would ask for the competition structure and management to be declared. This was necessary as the KC has a legal duty of care to ensure that all dog events it recognises meet certain criteria with respect to health and safety and other considerations.
As these events were of a similar structure to the British Sieger the KC could foresee no objections.
3. Outside Attraction
The Kennel Club has made its policy very clear on this subject and on the detrimental effects it believes the practice brings.
4. Mandatory Health Testing
This will be an on going concern and both parties can contribute to the betterment of the breed via the Kennel Club Accredited Breeder Scheme and BAGSD Special Events respectively.

IMPORTANT WUSV-WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP QUALIFICATION 2010 LETTER FROM HERR LUX 10/06/2010
Translation Here
Qualification Of Teams for the WUSV-World Championships
10-06-2010
Dear Ladies and Gentlemen, During the meeting after the WUSV world Championships2009 in Krefeld it was agreed that only the best dogs of a country should participate and subsequently a qualification must be arranged beforehand. In countries which have a number of clubs in the WUSV as members, a joint qualification procedure should identify the best dogs. During the subsequently held meeting of the WUSV committee the decision was made more concrete, namely that it should be placed for a vote before the WUSV - Full Assembly, where minor alterations are possible. This means concretely that, for the next WUSV – World Championship, the agreement laid down after Krefeld does not yet have to be implemented, Certainly, a qualification but a joint selection heat/trial is not yet obligatory. With best wishes Clemens Lux |

BRITISH SIEGER WORKING PARTY - PRESS RELEASE
With effect from the 2012 British Sieger it is intended that off-lead gaiting will be required in all Adult and Working Classes. In order to facilitate the transition and to allow time for the introduction of this new requirement the British Sieger Working Party has amended the rule for this year only as follows:-
In 2011 the males & females in the Adult classes (standard and long coat) will have the option to either complete one lap on a loose lead with no outside calling OR complete one lap off lead. This will take place during the individual stand examination.
The purpose of off-lead gaiting is to allow the judge to evaluate the natural movement of the GSD without the restrictions of the lead or influence of the handler. The Judges will be briefed that poor heelwork or control must not be a factor in assessing the dog, and the movement itself will be the deciding factor.
I will be the new contact until further notice,
Mrs. Janet Harrison
