Evaluations
Breed Shows are essential for breeding approval in KlM-GNA. They ensure that dogs meet the physical standards of the Kleine Münsterländer breed as defined by the FCI (Fédération Cynologique Internationale).
Evaluation Criteria:
Overall appearance and breed type
Height and body proportions
Bite and dentition
Coat quality for field, forest, and water protection
Absence of “eliminating faults” per FCI standards
Movement and structure for endurance and injury resistance
The primary goal is to confirm the dog’s suitability for the physical demands of versatile hunting.
Show Procedure
Measurements: Shoulder height is recorded.
Examinations: Teeth, coat, and structure are inspected.
Movement: Dogs walk and trot on a loose lead, both toward and away from the judge, and from the side.
Preparation: Dogs should be trained to stand still and allow mouth examination. Handlers must be physically prepared to trot with the dog multiple times.
At the end of the evaluation, the judge provides:
Height measurement
Bite and eye color assessment
Overall conformation and coat rating
To qualify for breeding, a dog must receive at least a G/G (Good/Good) rating.
Conformation Ratings
Vorzüglich (V) – Excellent: Ideal breed and sex characteristics
Sehr gut (SG) – Very Good: Balanced, mentally sound, and typical of the breed
Gut (G) – Good: Shows main breed traits but with faults
Genügend (Ggd) – Satisfactory: Close to standard but lacking key traits or physical condition
Disqualifiziert (Disq) – Disqualified: Major faults, health concerns, or aggressive behavior
