nickojoy Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 I probaby didn't search hard enough, but I found some stuff on the net about CCD and was wondering if this was correct. The following is what I found and the numbers represent the max points that can be gained. Heel on Lead 30 Stand For Examination on lead 10 Recall 20 1 minute Sit Stay 20 2 minute Down Stay 20 MAXIMUM SCORE 100 Less deduction for misbehaviour QUALIFYING SCORE 75 Once your dog has gained 3 qualifying scores of 75 points or more you are now eligible to apply for the Title - Community Companion Dog (C.C.D.). I have some questions, how old does a dog have to be to compete? Is the only stand the stand for examination or is there stands throughout the heeling and if so how many and are they seperate to the sits in phases or are they mixed up within the heel on lead. How far is the recall? 1 min sit and stay - where is the handler standing? is it on or offlead? 2 min drop and stay - where is the handler standing? is it on or offlead?

Seita Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 Looks about right. Try this link: ANKC RULES and click the link for the obedience rules and that should really help explain some of your questions and how it all runs! As for the heel work, most judges will do one sit, one stand and one drop in each of the three paces (slow, normal and fast) plus a few extra sits in the figure of eight. But you might encounter some judges that shorten or lengthen their heel patterns a bit. Everything in CCD is on lead except for the stays where you will be standing in front of your dog facing from a couple of meters away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nickojoy Posted July 29, 2009 Author Share Posted July 29, 2009 Thanks, I didn't know that a dog fouling on the ground would be such a large deduction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RubyStar Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 Thanks, I didn't know that a dog fouling on the ground would be such a large deduction. If by fouling you mean #1's or #2's, yup, cost us first place that one ;) :D ;) "poo bag in ring 1, please!" :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nickojoy Posted July 29, 2009 Author Share Posted July 29, 2009 Thanks, I didn't know that a dog fouling on the ground would be such a large deduction. If by fouling you mean #1's or #2's, yup, cost us first place that one :D "poo bag in ring 1, please!" Thats 10 points, I can understand how you could go from 1st to last! So it if goes twice? 20 points cause it says on each occasion. So if it doesn't number 1s and then 2s is that 20 points? For those that are reading and not understanding the fouling rule, here it is: Fouling: A dog which fouls at any time while it is under the control of the Judge must be penalised 10 points on each occasion. The deductions must be recorded as 'penalties for misbehaviour' and deducted from the total score. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kallistar Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 Also you can only gain two passes under the one judge for your title.. so lets say you have two passes under Mr Joe Blow, you cannot enter under him again . You must enter under Ms Smarty to get your title hope that this helps too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joan of Arc Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 At our club Newfsie and I were told that if your dog fouls in the ring its a disqualification. Suppose I should have read the rules more carefully instead of accepting thier word for it. :D off to check rules Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RubyStar Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 (edited) RS - when ya gotta go you gotta go btw - I hope it was the dog and not you :D Well that's exactly right! There's no ignoring nature Plus side, if you can count it as one after losing 10 points in one hit like that, is she did it at after the first turn in the heelwork, so after she relieved herself, she pulled off some nice heelwork! You'd be feeling more like heeling with that load off, right? Edited July 29, 2009 by RubyStar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The deductions must be recorded as 'penalties for misbehaviour' and deducted from the total score. Yep that'd be right. If they do a number 1 and then go and do a number 2 afterwards, that'd probably be 20 points. But I think it would be at the judge's discretion on whether to deduct 20 points if they just happened to do a #1 and #2 together - you'd be awfully unlucky, no, awfully unprepared if that happened to you! I take full responsibility for the poo accident, I hadn't ensured she had gone beforehand! So there was no way I could be mad at her, and all I can do is laugh about it now Funny thing is, due to the poo, we ended up coming 2nd! Only 2 of us qualified that night Not bad to come 2nd after a big mishap like that Edited July 29, 2009 by RubyStar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitka Posted July 30, 2009 Share Posted July 30, 2009 I was at a trial and there was a dog that fouled the ring lost the 10 points and still got the Q and won the ring Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allerzeit Posted July 30, 2009 Share Posted July 30, 2009 Enya fouled the ring in her one attempt at Novice - she was already failing in the most spectacular fashion, so by the time she fouled the ring it was all the judge and I could do to not collapse on the ground in laughter Oh gawd, I shouldn't be thinking of that right now - she's back in the trial ring next weekend Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think my first boy did this once, he failed terribly (in Novice) and then relieved himself twice so I think we ended up with a score below 50 points and that was only because he was rock solid on his stays!!! I watched a round in open recently where the dog ended up with 12 points in total at the end, if it had fouled just think how terrible the owner would have felt!
