The NAKP is a sister test to the INTERNATIONALE KURZHAAR PRUEFUNG, (IKP) in Germany. Qualifications and testing procedures are as follows:1. PURPOSE OF THE TEST
Para. 1
(1) The DEUTSCH KURZHAAR VERBAND conducts an International Field and Water Test to:
give the domestic friends of the DEUTSCH KURZHAAR the opportunity to see for themselves the breeding standards and performance of our dogs in the field and water.
-- encourage breeders to higher breeding performance and
-- initiate and foster an understanding of fine field and water work among hunters and handlers.
(2) Such tests can only fulfill their task if they require a high standard. Therefore only thoroughly trained dogs that have a history of successfully passing previous tests and have sufficient hunting experience should be entered. These standards should be considerably higher than those requirements of the Solms test.
II. ADMISSIONS REQUIREMENTS
Para. 2
(1) The test is open to all Deutsch-Kurzhaar-Vorstehhunde registered in domestic or foreign studbooks and who have:
1. Received at least two prize 1 scores during a Derby, Solms, AZP or VGP. (note: Derby alone is not sufficient, Derby plus Solms, AZP, HZP or VGP)
2. Received a conformation score of SG (Sehr Gut = Very Good). Instead of the "Herbstzuchtpruefung Solms" (Solms Fall Breeding Test), the tests from the "Jagdgebrauchshundeverbandes" (JGHV) are also recognized when all test performance categories that are equal to a Prize 1 of the Solms Test are documented (sehr gute leistungen = very good performance = 9 to 11 points in the HZP test categories, [4H = 12 points] ). Dogs that were tested in the above mentioned tests (Solms, AZP, HZP, VGP) and because of existing special regulations have passed the waterwork without the category of "search behind the duck in heavy cover" (partial test) or have received a lower score than SG in this category only, must also show proof of a score of SG in the VBRE test. Dogs that were tested in previous tests and showed signs of gun shyness or other faults that would eliminate them from breeding (Zuchtuntauglich) cannot be entered in this test (IKP).
(2) Foreign dogs must have passed all appropriate requirements.
(3) Test admission requirements must be fulfilled by the registration closing date.
(4) The registration fees are paid through the local club by the registration due date.
(5) Upon the need to close the test entry registration, notice of such registration closure will be made public by written announcement.
