This course “Fit for sport and breeding” is currently only available in german language.
In the basic webinar, the functional, moderate physique was introduced, and the importance of the right proportions for efficient movement was explained. In this follow-up webinar, we analyze individual dogs, once again using balance lines and curves. For any irregularities, you will learn the main causes and their effects.
Using our examples, you will see, for example, why a dog tires more quickly and is less ready to perform, and why it struggles to jump obstacles without errors. You will learn to recognize stress axes and discover that even the smallest changes in body structure can have a significant impact on physical wear and tear, and thus on the sports career and overall joy of life.
Thanks to this information, no dogs should be unknowingly overburdened anymore. Dogs always give their full effort for us, despite a deficient physique, until they collapse.

Eva Holderegger-Walser (Switzerland)
Doris and Eva met over 20 years ago through dog sports. First together in agility, then in obedience and later in the search dog group. As breeders, they quickly found common interests and by chance they came across a video cassette from the USA. It was an instruction manual for testing the body structure of puppies: The Puppy Puzzle Method by Pat Hastings.
Doris and Eva tested their first litter in 2004 and were fascinated.
It was unbelievable what abilities could already be seen in the 8-week-old puppy. The two of them worked on the complex topic with a lot of passion and analyzed countless litters of different breeds. Doris recorded everything meticulously and Eva’s camera was running hot. The two of them consolidated their knowledge at various courses with Pat Hastings and, at Pat’s request, they translated and dubbed her outdated DVD into German.
A lively exchange ensued and Pat was very pleased that Doris and Eva, among others, had finally discovered the cause of the widespread rolling pads.
The general interest was huge. In addition to the original puppy test seminar, the basic seminar on “dog anatomy” and the advanced seminar “Fit for breeding and sport” were developed especially for dog sports enthusiasts. The latter deals with the effects of problematic weak points in the body structure on the performance of dogs.
