FETCH (20 point)
On the fetchlijn is a gate with a gap of 6,30 meter.
From the point where the dog is the sheep lifted he will also bring it into a straight line to the center of the fetchpoort and then in a straight line to the start pole. If the sheep fault of the dog, at the start to the left or to the right have strayed from the fetchpaal, then the dog does not need the sheep back to the fetchpaal or fetchlijn, but he can in a straight line toward the center of the placing fetchpoort: the correct balance point – that during the lift will be reviewed – is of course not at the 12-hour point. If the sheep strayed so far that even meeting the fetchpoort not realistic - for example because the sheep first back to back should be driven before fetchpoort can be taken - the jury may decide to rerun or provide . All this happens without the fault of dog or handler to, than it costs them no points.
However, the sheep wander the fetchlijn off while the lift is taking place at the fetchpaal, then the dog they obviously via the shortest route back to the fetchlijn and then the fetch to continue. Never should the dog sheep against the direction of the trail in floating. So here, the sheep are not against the fetchrichting to be driven back to the fetchpaal, fetchpoort of fetchlijn. Depending on the extent to which the ideal sheep fetchlijn abandoned, will there points from: walk the entire fetch the sheep are not on the line, and thereby they are also not well controlled, this costs the full 20 point. "On the line run" means that the sheep are in a straight line moving on a path the width of the gap between the two fetchpoorten (6,30 meter): small movements to the left or right, do not lead to the deduction of points. As with all the obstacles is that there is only 1 may be used to attempt to retrieve a port. The port is missed, then it is not allowed to drive the sheep back and still trying. Tries this is the handler, he loses only points (for crosses, stationary sheep, and for the movement of the sheep in a wrong direction), even though he is the second time it successful at the gate.
Primarily, the jury assesses the movements of sheep. These observations include straight lines and a quiet, steady pace. But also the behavior of the dog may deduct points lead. When the sheep "ideal" fetchgang show, but the dog regularly overflankt (ie to the left or right uitbuigt than necessary to keep the sheep in line), by the handler ever laid down, or at too great a distance from the sheep, may nevertheless points deducted. The dog must always be in contact with the sheep, d.w.z. that a movement of the dog effect on the movement of the sheep. A dog who sniffs the ground or looks around, has no contact with the sheep. Ideally, the dog is always in motion, he is not or only occasionally laid down and he has no excessive amount of commands needed to do its job. For times when the dog loses contact with the sheep, he also loses points. If the sheep so by chance the perfect fetchlijn follow - such as this line is to afvoerpen where they want to go - but the dog here has in no way contributed, he loses it the full 20 point. The jury will select the type of sheep involved in the assessment: easy to handle sheep line to ring costs more points than difficult sheep with cute dogs- and handler working on a perhaps less perfect leash.
During the fetch, the dog crosses the fetchlijn not. With "crosses" is meant that the dog runs over the line where the sheep are still to come: This error is heavily charged, especially when there is a full cross occurs. D.w.z. the dog a complete circle around the sheep made. In some cases the situation it is necessary that the dog is the fetchlijn crosst: For example, if the group two sheep in fetchpoort remain, difficult or impossible to advance, and the other three in gallop toward handler or drain pin walk. Then the better the dog behind the group of three to send, and push back to the transverse coupling. For this purpose crosses sometimes necessary and will cost no deduction points: if there is a way to retrieve the three sheep without crosses, then the handler must under penalty of deduction of points, In order for this method to select. However, in both cases there are points deducted for any irregularity of the fetch (So for racing, stop and / or line of differ from the sheep).
The fetch is finished when the sheep to the starting pole and walked back to the drive is started: the twist itself - which as tight as possible to the starting pole must be – thus belongs to the fetch. Sometimes it happens that the sheep - for whatever reason - not behind the starting pole along been on the wrong side of the post pass: this should be like missing a gate, considered to be missing a part of the trail. This is done without intent of the handler (For example, because the sheep with a high speed towards the left afvoerpen- right of the eighth en handler race, or because the dog is busy with some sheep that remain and the rest along the wrong side of the starting pole passes), then takes the points. Does the handler, however, no attempt sheep here the correct movement to the starting pole to make, then leads to disqualification, just as when a handler could decide one of the drive ports but not to take (example because he sits tight in his time, and so does the points for a single or pen still be able to retrieve).
In principle, the dog handler to the pole back before he starts the drive.
Is the site in such a way that parts of the fetch is not visible to the jury, then the jury will assume that when the sheep at the right point in the picture, in the intervening period no mistakes are. Observations of others - for example, spectators - are not relevant in this.
Points Deduction:
• Sheep line.
• The standing of the sheep, well as the excess pressure on the sheep dog, causing the sheep unnecessary hunted go running or runaway.
• Missing the fetchpoort costs points: thereby come then the deduction points for deviating from the ideal line before and after the gate, plus the extra points as possible before or after the gate length of the line is deviated.
• Dog loses contact with the sheep
• The sheep show fan
• Too many commands
• Crossen
• Errors that are not corrected
• It is not (good / full) rounds of the pole with the sheep
• The dog not to the pole
Disqualification:
• Conscious skipping a part (ie the fetch port or rounds of the pole)
• Hunting, bite, no control, etc.
• Sheep / dog from the trail
