How P4P works — Canine Scorebook

P4P shows relative pulling strength

A dog with 40 P4P has pulled forty times its own body weight.

The calculation

Step 1 Record body weight 25 kg The dog’s weight at the competition.

Step 2 Record pulled weight 1,000 kg The successful competition result.

Step 3 Pull ÷ body weight 1,000 ÷ 25 = 40 The final P4P result.

Highest weight is not always best

Weight classes

The dog keeps one rating inside the organization. The same rating can produce an overall rank and a separate rank in the dog’s latest weight class.

Which organization rules are used?

P4P is shown within the selected organization’s competition context, using its published results and rules.

Why is P4P more important than highest weight?

Large dogs can normally pull more kilograms. P4P accounts for body weight and is therefore the competition value used to determine the stronger relative performance.

Which P4P value is displayed?

Canine Scorebook keeps the published organization result when it is available. Pulled weight and body weight remain visible so the result can be checked.
