• Anatomical Balance and Proportions: Evaluating the harmony between bone structure, angulation, and the specific ratios required by the breed standard to ensure optimal physical performance.
• Breed Type and Expression: Scrutinizing the head properties, including the skull-to-muzzle ratio, eye placement, and ear set, to confirm the dog captures the unique essence of its type.
