Core Judging Criteria

• Movement and Gait Analysis: Evaluation of the dog's efficiency, reach, and drive, ensuring the gait is sound, fluid, and consistent with the breed's historical function.
• Anatomical Balance and Proportions: Assessment of skeletal structure, including correct angulation, bone density, and the harmonious relationship between body parts.
• Breed Type and Expression: Examination of head properties, including the skull-to-muzzle ratio, eye placement, and overall silhouette that defines the breed's unique identity.
• Temperament and Ring Demeanor: Observation of the dog's confidence, stability, and responsiveness to the handler, which are essential indicators of a sound nervous system.
