Dog Breed Standard

A dog breed standard is a detailed guideline that describes the ideal characteristics of a particular breed, including appearance, temperament, and movement. It serves as a benchmark for breeders and judges to ensure dogs meet the breed’s unique qualities. These standards cover aspects like size, coat, color, and behavior, helping maintain consistency and purity within the breed. Essentially, it defines what a well-bred dog of that breed should look and act like, supporting responsible breeding and fair evaluation in shows.
