Oh ZTP... Where art thou?

 TRIALS  ZTP 

 What was the initial goal of the ZTP? 

The reason and purpose of the ZTP is to determine, in accordance with the Breed aims, the suitable Dobermann for breeding, and to exclude the unsuitable dog from breeding.

Do you remember Herr Ottmar Vogel? How much he contributed to our breed, by defining and expanding on the various means of improving the breed's character and working abilities. Even in its conformation aspects, Herr Vogel was ahead of his time and truly helped advance the progress of the breed.

We all know what has happened after the DV 'Putcsh' of Wiblihauser.. More details will come soon. But it is very easy to see now the initial ideals and purpose of the ZTP has been bastardized and changed dramatically.

Today, it is simply another tool of the German DV and IDC bosses to control and divide us all, and our own national clubs...

 Points to take note: 

 Only to be conducted by German judges 

 Only with the guidelines published and approved by the DV 

 Only with HD record from the DV 

 Only participation by member of DV or DV approved club 

 Only with payment to the DV judge [no receipts, of course]

Some interesting guidelines....

 I. Conduct / Event Registration / Licencing 

9) Event registration will only be granted if the application reaches the DV Head Office timeously so as to

allow for the publication thereof in the DV magazine - Unser Dobermann. ZTP events can only be held

if and when permission has been granted by the Head Office.

10) The organiser has to ensure that a least 7 dogs take part in the test; with fewer dogs the ZTP does not

take place. Maximum number of participants is 15 dogs on the day of the test. In special cases the

President will decide if fewer than 7 dogs take part.

 mmm.... how often does this happen? 

 II. Breed Judge 

1) ZTP Tests can only be judged by specially licenced ZTP judges.

'Special' Indeed - this is a CHARACTER test.. yet which judge has the true experiuence of training, trialing a dog to IPO 3 or Shutzhund 3? Which of these judges have actually the expertise of judging the character of this working dog breed?

Expert? Can you trust this fool?

'Special' indeed... how much did Frau Inge and Dottore Pezzano pay for their ZTP licences? We know it was a big sum of Euros...

And Pezzano... he has a habit of pinching, slapping and stepping on dogs' paws while judging. Some kind of new method in the ring... especially on ZTP... But wow, he is Specialized Licenced Non German... wonder whats his great expertise and experience...

 

 V. Participants 

1) Participation can only be granted if all requirements for the admission to the ZTP test have been met.

3) Proof of membership of the DV or an IDC Member Club must be furnished.

Yes. Herr Hans will be ultimate decision maker in all matters of YOUR dog's breeding suitabiity test..

 VI. Dogs from Foreign Countries 

Dobermanns from foreign countries can also take part in the ZTP provided the prerequisites in accordance with

the regulations of the DV have been met.

 VII. ZTP in Foreign Countries 

The German ZTP regulations are valid for all ZTP tests in foreign countries.

1) Where ZTP tests - within the IDC - are planned in foreign countries, a corresponding event registration

must be applied for at the DV Head Office.

2) The application must be approved at least 3 months before the planned test.5) The owner of the dog must either be a member of the DV or a member of an IDC Member Club. 

 IX. Breed Permission 

1) Only dogs which are bred in accordance with the Breed Regulations of the DV e.V. and which have been

assessed for HD can take part in a ZTP.

2) The assessment (German HD assessment) must be available in the original on the day of the ZTP.

3) Only dogs which have been assessed for HD 1 or HD 2 (HD A or HD B) can be entered for a ZTP.
5) The owner of the dog must be a member of the Dobermann Verein e.V.


So, you and dog need to be members of the DV/IDC and only the German HD is accepted..
And we all know how the have often manipulated those HD results..

So, really.. is this Breeding Suitabiity Test.. or DV IDC Test of Control over YOUR LIFE, YOUR DOG AND YOUR CHOICES.

Also.. why do these Specialised Judges demand for the documents of the dog parents?

 Because they dont use computers in DV office. They do not use any electronic record keeping.. because the truth and evidence there is easy to destroy in a 'fire' or be 'stolen' as has been 'reported' many times before... 

 [ More on this unusual happenings of DV Office in Munich will be coming here..]

Again we have Special mention of our good buddy, Mr Becht. Mr 'Special' has unique ability to conduct ZTP in the dark at someone's kennel before.. Award the ZTP V1A to dogs over 74cm in height [ yes, just bring a measure tool at the next big show and see yourself, and compare to their ZTP scores..] And Mr Special – we heard that you were paid for a ZTP test, which was suddenly called off.. You bought new shoes? But we hear you are also the one who demands monies for tests, but you don’t carry any receipts to give?

 In fact, consider the number of dogs entered for ZTP over the years. Where are the records of all the fees paid? What was done with them? Why no accounting by DV? Because no computer? Redtenbacher uses an abascus? 

And how come lately it is considered acceptable to almost carry a dog onto the platform, when it is scared to jump up? Breed suitable?

Many wonders go on in the ZTP. Even in USA, it is monopolised by their DV minion,who organizes, invites the judges and enters his own dogs for it. Of course, all under the 'auspices' of the DV presidium...

Think about this carefully. How many dogs have you seen with lesser characters, over or under sized, bad eyes, heads, etc and deemed as Breed Suitable? How often have you seen the same judges, the same results, the same corruptions? How qualified are these judges? Can all of them put together even compare to one Vogel or Manfred Lerner or even the great Mr Palmer?

See the fear in this dog, and how tight the chain is. Result? ZTP V1B

We must also add.. that now you also have things like 'ZTP in Preparation' and training for ZTP. What happened to the Dobermann being a natural working breed, and having its character evaluated as it is? To be able to train and prepare for a character/breed suitability test... Is that  not totally opposite to what we are selecting for????

Is the ZTP just another valuable weapon and tool of the DV and IDC? Otherwise, would anyone who is serious of the breed really care for them? The ZTP/HD makes them powerful outside Germany, and makes them 'important'. Are they more important, bigger than even your own National Club and its guidelines?

And we know how they use ZTP for their own ends and purposes.. Its not for the Dobermann future anymore.

We quote Mr Vogel:

"As our breed is frequently endowed with a high temperament,. and as many judges are incapable of distibguishing between correct temparement and nervousness, I also had to offer enlightenment in this regard. The assesment of these crucial points could be carried out succesfuly by means of an isolation test with highly skilled breed judges. Here too we had to adopt measures for the benfit of the breed. Judges, who are not free of inhibitions or lack strong nerves, cannot correctly conduct the isolation test. Therefore only certain breed judges were selected for training by me and subsequently nominated as ZTP judges."

 You be the judge...
