Our trainer is a member of the prestigious Unites States Schutzhund 3 Club, and he was inducted in the year of 2000, in honor of those members that have accomplished training and titling dogs from BH to SchH3. All of his trained GSDs passed their Schutzhund Examinations under both SV and USA judges. Schutzhund IPO is a challenging 3 part sport, obedience, tracking and protection which was originally designed as a breed test for the German Shepherd, and has grown in to a popular sport, as well as continuing to function as a breed test. A Schutzhund title is a pre-requisite for the German Shepherd Breed Survey or Koerung. As a sport, several countries hold regional and national competitions. In Germany, the big trial each year is the BSP or Bundessiegerprüfung. There is also a world competition (WUSV) each year held under FCI international rules.
