The truly versatile hunting dog should be able to persistantly track wounded game on lead to recover the hunter’s shot prize.
.
The German Blood Track Test (Verbandschweißprüfung – SW) and the VGP Utilty Blood Track (Riemenarbeit) allow the dog to demonstrate their ability to follow a track that was prepared with small amounts (8.5 ozs) of blood and to complete a track that challenges the dog’s persistance by it’s length, age and design.
.
All German test tracks use the same 8.5 ozs of blood and have two turns in them but they vary in length and age.
.
The VGP Utility track is 400 m/440 yds in length and is aged 2-5 hrs (TF or Day Track) or at least 14 hrs (ÜF or Overnight Track).
.
The SW test is 1000 m/1100 yards in length and is aged 20 hours (20-std) or 40 hours (40-std). The dog must also be 2 years old to enter this examination.
.
Some people state that they “do not want their bird dogs to become blood-hounds.” Recovery of wounded game is an important trait in a truly versatile hunting dog and will only remain in the bloodlines if breeders/trainers continue to challenge their dogs in this area.
.
Below we like to recognize the dogs in our kennel who have persisted and completed their blood tracks succesfully.
