Bernese
Mountain Dog Sieger Show
Showing a dog in a European style Sieger show is a wonderful
experience!!! Each dog enters the ring individually; it is
evaluated and given a score based on how closely it measures up
to the "ideal dog" as described in the
breed standard. The dog receives a thorough hands on
examination and is assessed in a relaxed and informal manner,
standing naturally, and gaiting on a loose lead. The judge is a knowledgeable
breeder of Bernese Mountain Dogs, who provides both a written
and verbal evaluation of the dog based on several key points in
the standard for the education of the owners and spectators.
Puppies are assessed first and each dog receives a rating of
Very Promising, Promising or Unacceptable. All of the Very Promising
puppies then compete for the Most Promising Puppy award. The adult
dogs they enter the ring. Each dog is given an overall rating that can range from
Poor
to Excellent. After
all the dogs have been evaluated, only those dogs that were
rated Excellent (there can
be several from the same class!) are brought back into the ring
together to vie for Best Male in Sieger, Best Female in Sieger
and the ultimate - Best in Sieger Show (which is decided from the
best male and best female). Best Veteran will be selected
after Best in Sieger Show.
Prizes and Ribbons
All dogs receiving an excellent grading will be awarded a certificate.
Best Male and Best Female in Sieger Show will
receive a trophy and rosette. Best in Seiger Show will be awarded an
additional large rosette ribbon Best in Seiger Show will be awarded an
additional large rosette ribbon and a prize donated by Angela Wagenblast
and Jennifer Tulloch-Roberts will be awarded in honour of three time Best
in Sieger Show winner Ch Wagenblast's Cessi. A rosette and trophy will also be awarded to the
Most Promising Puppy and Best Veteran.
This show is a relaxed affair so sit back, learn, and enjoy the
experience!!!
EVERYONE WELCOME!!!

How the
Classes are Divided in a Sieger Show
Jugstenklasse (youngest):
This class is for all dogs 6-15 months of age. This year puppies
will receive a full critique as the adult dogs, but will be rated as
Very Promising, Promising or Unacceptable. This class of dogs should be
full of fun and that is not to be discouraged! All of the puppies rated
Very Promising, will then compete for the Most Promising Puppy award.
Jugendklasse (youth):
This class is for dogs 15-18 months of age. These dogs will likely continue to mature.
Offenklasse (open):
This class is for dogs 18 months or older that have not yet received a Championship title. Many of these dogs will be in the
prime of their life, but may not have been shown much and may lack the steadiness that the Siegerklasse dogs will have.
Siegerklasse (specials):
This class is for dogs that have attained a recognized championship (ie CKC, AKC). These dogs will likely be mature dogs
with a steady demeanor in the show ring.
Veteranklasse
(veterans):
This class is for any dog over 7 years of age. These older dogs may have
some grey around the face and present the maturity of mind and body,
although they always seem to retain some puppy like behavior! |
