Core Judging Criteria

• Movement and Gait Analysis: The judge prioritizes efficiency, reach, and drive, ensuring that the dog exhibits a sound, rhythmic gait that reflects optimal structural health and athletic capability.
• Anatomical Balance and Proportions: A meticulous assessment of bone structure, angulation, and overall symmetry is conducted to ensure the dog functions as a cohesive unit, avoiding exaggerations that impede performance.
• Breed Type and Expression: The judge evaluates the head properties, including the skull-to-muzzle ratio and eye placement, to confirm that the specimen captures the quintessential essence of its specific lineage.
• Temperament and Ring Demeanor: A stable, confident, and alert temperament is essential, as the judge observes how the dog interacts with the handler and the environment during the evaluation process.
