Belgian Shepherds entering the exam to qualify for FMBB 2027 must already be members of the Belgian Shepherd Club (CCB), or have sent their membership application to CCB at ciobanestibelgieni@gmail.com.

Entry fee

The fee is to be paid into the bank account that the organisers (CST) will send by e-mail together with the confirmation that the entry has been accepted.

Important information for the SAR exam

Please note that one person (dog handler) may present at most two dogs at the event. Likewise, a dog may take part in at most two tests (one per day, per event).

One form must be filled in for each dog. For dogs entered at level A or B, proof that the entry conditions for that level are met must be attached: for level A — proof of having passed level V in that discipline; for level B — proof of having passed level A in that discipline twice, with a rating of at least GOOD.

Please bear in mind that you can enter for a complete test (the scent work part and the obedience and dexterity part) or choose a single part of that exam (scent work OR obedience and dexterity).

Throughout the exam, as well as before it (official training sessions etc.) and after it, the animal welfare provisions of the testing regulations apply. Any breach will be examined and may be sanctioned under art. 2.6 "Warning / Termination / Disqualification" of the International Testing Regulations for Search and Rescue Dogs.
