| Allow approx 45m per dog (Please be present before 8am) Minimum Age at time of Testing: Aptitude – 22 Months on day of test D.M.A – 12 Months on day of test Please note: entrants should arrive at least 1 hour before their test to watch the tests. DO NOT FEED YOUR DOGS 24 HRS PRIOR TO THE TEST Only dogs in good health will be tested. Aptitude Testing is a valuable indicator of the inherent natural mental potential a dog and can be useful in breeding programs. It is open to all dogs but is aimed primarily at working breeds. However, many herding, hunting and utility dogs are also able to successfully complete the test. It assesses, inter alia, approachability, drive to hunt, nervous stability, defensive behaviour, aggression, and the ability of the dog to work off and calm down rapidly after being exposed to stressful situations. It was developed for the Svenska Brukhundklubben (Swedish Working Dog Association) and is widely used in the Scandinavian countries, also for pet animals. Training is not required - participating dogs can be either trained or not, as they simply react to a variety of stimuli such as a mechanical rabbit, sudden noises, shapes or creatures. During the test, the dog must cope with stressful mental (but no physical) situations by itself, without any assistance or commands from its handler. Between exercises the dog is allowed to unwind totally before moving on to the next challenge. The test is recognised by KUSA and although it is not a mandatory test, the "Apt" or "Apt Ex" qualification will be added to the registered name of a dog that has passed the test. Qualifying Certificates are however only awarded to dogs registered with KUSA. | |||
