Searching trial is divided into two parts:
Searching for hidden people (170 points) andSearching for people is performed on a 100 meter wide marked area - normally in a forest. A clearly marked line crosses the area in the middle of it and the instructor must walk the line while working.
In the searching area there are three hidden people. Their places are the same for all participating dogs in that trial.
The dog must search the area throughout by the instructor's commands. The instructor (and the dog) must move on the line, backward movement is not allowed.
When the dog finds a target person it has two possibilities to indicate it:
1) It barks loudly and continuosly until the instructor comes to it
2) It takes a bringsel hanging out of it's collar and returns to the instructor. The instructor puts the dog on a leash and the dog guides him to target person.
The dog should find all three target persons and indicate them clearly to the instructor.
