Are my titles earned through DVG recognized for attendance at Koerung?
No, your titles are certainly recognized as working titles and you can earn a SchH I in a DVG trial, go to a USA trial and earn a SchH II with no problem (so long as you’ve obtained a USA number on your scorebook). However, in order to have your dog Koerklassed, you must have at least one title earned under a “breed club” trial judge. So, if your dog is multiple SchH III, and you want to attend a Koerung, you must repeat that title under a “breed club” trial judge (i.e., a USA or SV judge, for example). Additionally, you must have an AD, which will only be recognized in a USA conformation show if it is earned under a breed club trial judge. Some AWDF clubs recognize AD’s earned under DVG judges, but you would need to check with your specific club to be sure. I believe, also, to enter a Koerung at a USA club, the dog must be registered through the USA breed registry. A call to the USA office or the proper person in the AWDF breed organization where you plan on entering for Koerklassing
