As a member of DL-GNA, vom Jägerherzen adheres to the parent breed club, the Deutsch Langhaar Verband (DLV) rules and JGHV test regulations. The JGHV testing program is a performance based testing system with regulations established designed to demonstrate and improve upon inherited qualities while determining the success of past and future breeding programs. The JGHV provides the test regulations, authorizes the judges, and maintains the test records for member breed clubs. The successful completion of JGHV performance tests is required to identify the dog's natural abilities and suitability to hunt.
In alignment with the Deutsch Langhaar Verband practice of open reporting methods, all test results associated with DLs currently at Jägerherzen are reported with complete disclosure and full and accurate detail regardless of the outcome. Results from ALL tests are documented, including multiple test attempts.
- VJP Natural Ability Test
- HZP Advanced Natural Ability Test
The Natural Ability Test (VJP) is conducted in the spring for the DL whelped prior to October 1st of the previous year. The VJP is designed to evaluate a DL’s inherited abilities in search, tracking, nose, pointing and cooperation. Jägerherzen has successfully tested dogs in four VJPs with the last three resulting in one Suchensieger and two placing first in their respective litters.
The HZP, or fall breed test, is conducted in fall of the same calendar year as the VJP. The HZP tests the 75% trained dog and evaluates inherited qualities in addition to retrieving tasks. Desire and obedience are also evaluated. Essentially a retrieving reliability test, it also indirectly measures trainability. Jägerherzen has tested in two HZPs.
