The Program of three-year monitoring and the subsequent experimental additions provide for the organization / execution of specific zootechnical tests aimed at assessment / certification of the suitability of dogs to be used in this monitoring plan for the wintering woodcock in Lazio, recurring, as provided for in the ISPRA opinion Prot. 52600 / T-A46 of 23/08/20918, to the experience of qualified dog-loving judges who, regardless of their affiliation, will work in accordance with the provisions of the ENCI regulation for the achievement of the Patent for "dog authorized to monitor woodcock and from other migratory or sedentary feathered game".
