ZTP

purpose of ZTP is to ascertain those Dobermanns
which are, according to the breeding standard, suitable
for breeding, and to eliminate unsuitable dogs from
the selection. ZTP's can only be judged by breed

tax collector, a "dog catcher", a night
watchman, and as a supervisor for local slaughter
houses. As a night watchman, Herr Dobermann found
his need for a suitable dog to accompany him on
his rounds. It is also not beyond imagining a protection
dog would be desirable while working as a tax collector
carrying large amounts of money....[continued]

IPO
Trials
and tournaments should serve two purposes. The first
purpose is to determine a dog's suitability for

purpose is to help to maintain or increase the health
and working ability, as far as working dog characteristics
are concerned, from generation to generation within
the breeding program. They also help to maintain
and increase health and fitness. A working title
is also considered proof of a dogs breed worthiness...[continued
