KORUNG (Advanced Breed Suitability Test) The purpose of this test is to re-evaluate dogs which have already received a basic breeding certification (ZtP) to determine if they should continue to be used in a breeding program.

Re-Attack: On the judge s signal the agitator re-attacks the dog, threatening with stick. When the dog has a firm bite, he is hit twice with the stick. Agitator comes to a standstill, dog commanded to out. On judge s signal, handler returns to dog and takes him to the end of the field. Courage Test: Agitator is hiding at opposite end of field. On judge s signal the agitator comes out, is verbally challenged by the handler, and then runs away. The dog is sent to stop him (must go in a straight line).
