LIFT (10 point)
The lift to the first time the dog makes contact with the sheep and put them in motion. It is, despite its short duration, still a very important part of the run. It is said that the elevator a game won or lost: the sheep by too rough elevator restless, then it is very difficult to get them yet calm. This often means that other parts many points are lost. The purpose of the lift is that the sheep dog in a quiet and efficient manner in motion, in the direction of the fetchpoort.
To increase uncertainly may consist:
• dwell without adequate pressure on the sheep
• back and sides instead of straight to the sheep to walk.
The dog gets them despite wavering behavior actually move he loses less points. Circling the dog to the sheep, then he makes a cross. This costs every time 5 point, even apart from the points deduction due to insufficient firm lift.
Too wild on the sheep can go to 10 deduction points lead, especially if the dog sheep group set does splashing. Does the dog game in, but he is still well under control of the handler - for example, because he promptly on a down-unresponsive - he loses less points. Running the sheep without pressure from the dog fetchpoort direction - for example, because there are "pull" is that way, d.w.z. the sheep in a certain direction to go because they think there safety - than it will not cause deduction points, unless the dog actually loses contact with the sheep.
Points Deduction:
• A dog that sheep wavering inflating, they suddenly started running brings them or not in the right direction drives, lose points.
• Even a dog that additional commands needed before he approaches the sheep, lose points.
• Failure to follow opdrijfcommando's.
• To the sheep circling.
• Too wild sheep on the go.
• If the dog loses contact with the sheep.
Disqualification:
• Biting or hunting
• If one or more sheep leaving the trail (eg opzetpen indentation)
