Mondio ring was created by delegates from several countries in Europe and America, in hopes
of utilizing different portions of already existing national dog sports, and allowing an enriching
union of all the enthusiasts of working dogs, beginners or experienced. Its goal is to be entertaining
for the spectators, a game of progressive difficulties for the participants, and a competitive sport
for the training enthusiasts. Mondioring is International ring.
In the beginning of the 90's one of the best known Malinois breeders in Belgium Mr. Luc Vansteenbrughe kennel "des Deux Pottois" was one of the inventors and promoters of the international ring-program "Mondioring". Mondioring is a mix of Belgium-, French Ring, KNPV and SCHH. It also has 3 levels and has every year a world-championship held in a different country. The first world championship "Mondioring" was held in Belgium in the year 1994. The 4th W.Ch. Mondioring was also held in Brugge, Belgium on 3rd & 4th October '98. A total of 35 dogs where Malinois, 2 German Shepherds and one Tervueren. There were competitors out of Belgium, Germany, Italy, Spain, Switzerland, Austria, USA, so perhaps the Mondioring will have a future such as the IPO/SCHH-program.
The purpose of Mondioring is to highlight the aptitudes of the dog, the quality of its training, the control of its handler, and especially, the genetic inheritance of the dog.
The program consists of three disciplines, which will proceed in the following order:
1. Obedience exercises
2. Jumping exercises
3. Biting exercises.
The order of these exercises will be (can be) drawn by the competitors for each level at the beginning of each trial, and will be the same for all competitors in that level.
The Mondioring (International Ringsport) is a working dog sport with new rules from different national rules taken from the working dog sports in France (French Ringsport), Belgium (Belgian Ringsport), Holland (KNPV) and a little bit of SCHH from Germany.
Mondioring is tested in 3 progressively harder levels, earning the degree Mondioring I (MR1), Mondioring II (MR2), Mondioring III (MR3), with level III being the hardest.
The Brevet is the entry-level test of obedience and protection work, to assess character, courage, trainability, and suitability for work.
To take into account a necessary progression and to increase the difficulties gradually, it is logical to view the organisation of trials in 3 Levels, giving to each a maximum of points:
200 Points in Level I
300 Points in Level II
400 Points in Level III
The first MR-trial took place in 1987 in Belgium, Tournai. Since the 1th January 1995, the Mondioring trial-rules are under the law by the FCI.
