Breed Standard

A breed standard is a detailed description that outlines the ideal traits and characteristics of a particular dog or animal breed. It covers aspects like appearance, size, coat type, color, temperament, and specific physical features. The purpose is to maintain consistency and quality within the breed, ensuring animals meet the accepted criteria for show, breeding, and overall health. Breed standards are set by breed clubs or organizations and serve as a guideline to help breeders and judges identify animals that best represent the breed’s unique qualities.
