Core Judging Criteria

• Movement and Gait Analysis: The judge prioritizes efficiency, reach, and drive, ensuring that the dog exhibits sound biomechanics consistent with its functional heritage.
• Anatomical Balance and Proportions: A meticulous assessment of bone structure, angulation, and overall symmetry is conducted to verify that the dog conforms to the ideal physical profile.
• Breed Type and Expression: The judge evaluates head properties, including the skull-to-muzzle ratio and eye placement, to confirm the distinct character and essence of the specific variety.
• Temperament and Ring Demeanor: The judge observes the dog for confidence, stability, and a lack of aggression, which are vital indicators of a sound ancestry.
