Long Jump

HERE'S HOW IT WORKS

For this discipline, the dog has to jump as far as possible over the long jump frame. The maximum run-up distance from the frame that you can give your dog is 5 meters, which will be marked with a reference point. The dog's front feet may be placed at the 5 meter mark. Bait / lure can be anything from a flirtpole plastic bag to a tug, ball, or other toy of the dog's liking.

Each dog has 12 minutes max to achieve the highest score they can, although the handler is free to stop before the 12 minute mark if satisfied with their results or otherwise deem necessary.

HISTORICAL SIGNIFICANCE

The Long Jump’s primary objective is to evaluate the burst of explosiveness and force, otherwise known as "power" that a dog can generate, an essential quality in the "bull and terrier" type dogs that would've been greatly beneficial in the breed's original jobs.

Aside from physical power, the long jump offers another means to evaluate agility, elasticity and durability.

Long Jump is, on top of the aforementioned points, also an incredibly fun activity that demands good techniques and intelligence from the dog for best results, and is one of the disciplines that best highlights synergy, connection and relationship between a dog and it's handler, making it a popular fan favorite for many dogs and handlers alike.

STARS & PUNCTUATION

There is no Max Punctuation in this discipline; the dog can continue to stack points if they exceed their Black Star.

For this discipline, Star Levels are based on a individual's exact height.

Example: 38.5cm dog needs to jump 7.5x his own height to achieve black star. 7.5 x 38.5 = 288,75, round up to 2.89cm
