Cause..you know...dogs trained in bitework are dangerous and a liability etc. Silly Politics get in the way of things.
They changed some rules that IMHO make it easier. LoLa is almost ready for a BH..then the rule changes cane out and she could pass it now. We were working on the out of motion exercises. Its ridiculous the new changes.
Sad to see the sport caving to the dog coddling mongers.

no, they aren't gone. It's only for the BH, which essentially they were making legal what judges were letting slide for a long time.
It's not really a title, just a temperament test and if your dog had decent temp and could do most of the stuff they passed. Now they just say you may take a small pause for the sit and down in the BH.
For the actual IPO titles, the motion exercises are pretty much the same, except when there is no recall it's only 15 paces instead of 30 and the distance to go out stays the same for exercises with recall.

I think so, but I don't know for sure. I have never actually been a part of a trial that ever ran or awarded those so I'd have to look up and see what all the exercises are even 
But I do see trials sanctioned by USA that are offering those titles this year, so I'm assuming they are just fine.
But as they say, when you make an assumption you make an ass out of you and umption

Haha, yeah. Denis (the other half) is planning on taking Sloan for her Apr1, which is the equiv from what we read of the old schA, this summer. We have such a limit for tracking here it's discouraging. He'd like to go back for her IPO1 and on if the move to Oregon pans out but he's not willing to wait for it.

I don't think the pause should have been added. I don't like it. I will do it as an out of motion and take the point deduction.
I just disagree with some of the rule changes. It was made easier IMHO.
LoLa goes for her BH in June at DVG KG regionals and we plan on doing it as the rules were cause we don't need the extra help!
