As announced byItalian National Dog-loving Body (ENCI), from tomorrow the new regulation for tests intended for dogs belonging to the pointing breeds. 1 June 2018 it will therefore be the first day in which these rules must be respected, which cancel the previous ones. As recalled by the ENCI, the recognized tests are those with great search on partridges for English breeds, those on natural game, gray partridges, natural game with or without shot game, specialist tests (snipe, woodcock, mountain game), derby on partridges, the classic tests on quails and the aptitude competitions on quails.
The manner and method of hunting for each subject must correspond to the requirements of the working standard of the individual breeds: discontinuous action will not be allowed, as well as he looks for it disordered or inadequate. In the case of English breeds, consent must always be spontaneous, except for hunting trials and aptitude competitions on quails (the intervention of the conductor is allowed). Spontaneous consent is highly desirable in continental races. The errors that will not allow to attribute the qualification they will be different.
We can mention, for example, the lack of initiative, the out of the way, the non-existent detail, the lack of background, the action not conforming to the type of evidence, the non-existent suspicion, the firm not rigid and the avoidance of the wild. Among other things, ENCI will have the opportunity to better enhance the "young" tests organizing in the autumn a test open to all subjects of Italian or foreign breeding in possession of the requirements to access the derby of the current year. The manifestation just mentioned is the so-called Eurocup.
