What is then the difference between Belgian Ring and Mondioring?
You train with the NVBK. The people I trained with compete in SH competition. They say that in NVBK the emphasis lies on the biting while in SH they want more a whole package (obedience - agility - bitng). Is this also your opinion?

He is your friend, your partner, your defender, your dog. You are his life, his love, his leader. He will be yours, faithful and true, to the last beat of his heart. You owe it to him to be worthy of such devotion.
Mondio ring is a ring program created (if i'm not mistaking) created in the late 1980's it's a mix of the different defence sports as they stand FR BR KNVP and IPO. Like all ringsport programs the fundamantals are the same but the way they are executed are different eg in BR the long jump is done over a ditch and in MR it is a frame that can be placed anywhere. http://www.finographics.com/schutzhund/mondioring.html
This is a link with an comparison of the different programs
Comparing NVBK and SH. Both are complete programs. If in nvbk you'r dog hasn't a full grip you cannot win that much is true. My experience is that NVBK is much more demanding on the dog, he gets much more trown at him and the he has to think more (how do i get there and do the job) I know SH people are not going to like what i'm going to write now but I changed from SH to NVBK with an 8 month old mal and it felt the same like when i chaged from highschool to university. It's the same but differen and harder
