Lothar Quoll Türkenfeld, den 04.06.2014 Haydnstr.5 82299 Türkenfeld 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 of the Standard in regards to the size limits for the time being approx. 5 !years – up to 1.1.2012 – with the further option of an extension” was resolved unanimously. Under no circumstances can we disappoint the meeting, that has put such great faith 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 measurement 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 surface, 2m x 1.5m.
