Core Judging Criteria

• Movement and Gait Analysis: Evaluation of the efficiency of the stride, the reach and drive of the limbs, and the overall soundness of the dog in motion, ensuring the gait is free of restricted movement or structural compensation.
• Anatomical Balance and Proportions: Assessment of the skeletal framework, including the correct angulation of the shoulders and stifles, the depth of the chest, and the overall harmony of the body proportions relative to the ideal silhouette.
• Breed Type and Expression: Critical examination of head properties, including the skull-to-muzzle ratio, eye placement, ear set, and the specific characteristics that define the unique identity of the dog.
• Temperament and Ring Demeanor: Observation of the dog's psychological stability, confidence, and willingness to be handled, which are essential traits for a balanced and reliable representative of its lineage.
