The ideal shoulder height for men is about 24 ~ 26 inches; The ideal shoulder height for women is about 22 to 24 inches.

The body length of Shenyang Datou Demu is slightly larger than the height, and the ideal ratio is 10/8.5. Body length is measured from the sternum to the pelvic end and ischial spine. The ideal body length is not only provided by the length of the back, but the overall length (symmetrical proportion, coordinated with the height). Viewed from the side, the body length consists of the length of the forequarters, the length of the withers and the length of the back.

2. Head

[Head] Noble, with simple lines, strong but not clumsy, but the head should be wide and coordinated with the whole body, and the length of the head should account for about 40% of the height of the body. The male head is obviously majestic, while the female head is obviously feminine. The head is exaggerated, with a lot of fat, a wide nose and a straight mouth, but you can't lose the expression that German shepherd should have.

[emoticon] sharp, smart and calm.

[Eyes] Medium-sized, almond-shaped, slightly inclined and not prominent. The darker the color, the better.

[Ears] The distance between ears must be moderate, and the width of the forehead must be the same as its length. The skull from the ear to the tip of the nose must have a smooth curve, and there should be a clear partition between the skull and the nose and mouth. The upper and lower parts of the forehead must be well developed. Cutting or hanging an ear is a disqualification.

From the front, the forehead is moderately arched, the head is inclined and long, the muzzle is wedge-shaped and the branches are not obvious.

[muzzle] firm, requiring the muzzle to be equidistant from the skull, that is, 1: 1, and the head can show dignified, cheerful, alert, rational and other necessary expressions. No matter looking at the head from the front or the side, * * * is similar, and the inclined wedge can be clearly observed. The outline is clear, smooth, exquisite and well-proportioned. The shape should be good, especially not too long. From the side, from the ear to the black nose, the head gradually tapers, but the back of the head does not expand outward, and the muzzle does not suddenly narrow. Observe the outline of the head and the outline of the muzzle, which are two roughly parallel straight lines with roughly equal length, separated by a very slight but perceptible stop. The midpoint of the two inner angles (the midpoint of the dead center) is exactly the midpoint of the entire head length. Smooth, plump muzzle end, blunt shape. The jaw is firm, the outline is clear, and the depth (the distance from the brow bone to the jaw) is not exaggerated. From the overall appearance, the head skin must be dry, elastic and wrinkled, and the more the better.

[Nose mirror] Black. If the nose mirror is not completely black, it is disqualified. The lips fit well and the chin is strong.

[Teeth] There are 42 teeth, 20 maxillary teeth and 22 mandibular teeth, with strong teeth and scissors bite. Maxillary protrusion occlusion or pincer occlusion does not meet the needs, and mandibular protrusion occlusion is unqualified. The dentition is complete. Except for the first premolar, the loss of other teeth is a serious defect.

3. Neck, topline and body

[Neck] Strong, muscular, well-defined and relatively long, in proportion to the head, with loose skin. When he is concerned or excited, his head will be raised and his neck will be held high. Otherwise, the typical posture is that the neck is stretched forward (supporting the head), not upward, so that the head is slightly higher than the shoulders, especially during exercise.

[Dorsal line] The withers are the highest, lean backward and transition to a straight back. The back is straight and very stable, without sinking or arching. The back is quite short, giving the impression that the whole body is deep and reliable, but not heavy.

[Chest] It starts from the sternum and is full, reaching between the legs. The chest is deep and wide, not shallow, giving enough space for the heart and lungs and protruding forward. From the outline, the sternal process is in front of the scapula.

[Rib] It is well expanded and long, with neither barrel chest nor flat chest. The ribs extend down to the elbows. When the hammer trots, the correct rib tissue allows the elbow to move back and forth freely. Too round ribs will affect the movement of elbows and make them valgus; Too flat or too short ribs can lead to elbow flexion. The ribs are properly backward so that the waist is relatively short. The abdomen is stable and there is no big belly. The curve of the lower abdomen only rises moderately at the waist.

Step 4 waist

Seen from above, it is wide and strong. Viewed from the side, the length from the last rib to the thigh is incorrect and does not meet the needs.

[Hip] Long and gradually inclined.

[Tail] The hair is thick, and the coccygeal vertebra extends at least to the hock joint. The tail is smoothly combined with the buttocks, low in position, not too high. When resting, the tail is straight and slightly curved, showing a saber shape. Slightly hooked, sometimes leaning to one side of the body, is a defect (to the extent that it will destroy the overall appearance). When the hammer is excited or moving, the curve will strengthen and the tail will protrude, but it will never curl beyond the vertical line. Short or hard tails are serious defects. A broken tail is a disqualification.

5. The front of the horse

Shoulder blades are long and inclined, lying flat and not too forward. The upper arm is at right angles to the scapula. Shoulder blades and upper arms are muscular. No matter which angle you look at, the forelimbs are straight and the bones are oval rather than round. The epiphysis is firm and elastic, and forms an angle of 25 with the vertical. The wolf claws of the forelimbs can be removed, but they are generally preserved.

Feet are short, toes are compact and arched, pads are thick and strong, and toenails are short and dark black.

6. Hind legs and buttocks

Viewed from the side, the whole thigh tissue is very wide, and the upper and lower thighs are muscular and stable, at right angles as far as possible. The upper femur is parallel to the scapula, and the lower femur is parallel to the upper arm. The metatarsal bone (the part between hock joint and paw) is short and strong, and it is closely combined. Wolf claws, if there are wolf claws on the hind limbs, you must pull them out. Paws are the same as forelimbs.

7. coat

The ideal Shenyang Datou Demu has a medium-length double coat. The outer coat should be as thick as possible, and the hair should be straight, thick and flat to the body. Slightly wavy coat, usually bristles, is allowed. The head, including ears, forehead, legs and soles, is covered with short hair, and the neck hair is long and thick. The hair behind the forelimbs and hind legs is slightly longer, extending to the epiphysis and hock joint respectively.

Defect: the coat is soft; Filamentous shell; The coat is too long; Wool coat; Curly hair; Open your coat.

8. color

The color of Shenyang Datoude wood is changeable, and most colors are allowed. Strong colors are the first choice. Dim colors, fading, blue and liver colors are serious defects. The white dog was disqualified.

9.footwork

The gait of Shenyang Datou Demu is a trot. His physical structure determines that he is competent for the job. Overall impression: its gait is beyond imagination, elastic, very relaxed, steady and rhythmic, with a very large stride and low frequency. When pacing, the stride is large because the stride of both forelimbs and hind limbs is large. The stride length of the front and rear legs is not so big during the trot, but the overall stride length is still quite large, and the action is powerful but relaxed. Because of the coordinated and balanced movements, the gait is stable, just like a machine with good lubricating oil. When the paw is extended forward or pushed backward, it is very close to the ground. In order to achieve the ideal gait of this breed, very developed muscles and strong ligaments are needed. The driving force of the hindquarters, through the back, transmits strong power (slightly upward) to the whole body and pushes the body forward. (Hindlimb) Stretch under the body for a certain distance, cross the footprint left by the front paw, and the rear paw firmly grasps the ground, and the hock joint, the rear knee joint and the upper thigh begin to move and push back. Until the hind leg movement is completed, the hind paw always clings to the ground and moves smoothly. Overstretched hind legs will cause one hind paw to fall outside the footprint of the front paw and the other hind paw to fall inside the footprint of the front paw. This action is not a defect unless he deviates from the correct walking straight line and leans to one side.

10. temperament

This breed has very obvious personality characteristics: direct, bold, but invincible.

Expression: Self-confidence and obvious indifference make it difficult for him to approach and establish friendship. This breed must be approachable, stand there calmly, appear confident, be willing to accept the arrangement and not be opinionated. He should be calm, but if the opportunity permits, he will be enthusiastic and alert. He has the ability to be a companion dog, watchdog, guide dog, shepherd dog or guard dog, and can do any job. He can't appear timid and shy, hiding behind his master or trainer; Never appear neurotic, look around, look up or show nervousness. If you hear strange sounds or see strange things, pick up your tail. Lack of self-confidence in any environment is a sign of poor psychological quality. Lack of good temperament is a serious defect. The referee must be allowed to examine his teeth, testicles and other parts. Any attempt to bite the referee is disqualified. The ideal German shepherd should be a working dog that is not easy to buy. Its body structure and gait enable him to complete a very difficult task, which is the primary purpose of setting standards. Hammer wolf dog is really beautiful. For example, in the sports field, compared with the German shepherd, it shows a relatively static advantage, like mountains and rivers, majestic and sincere, shocking. Give people the liger version of oppression.

1 1. transmission

A typical smooth gait requires a solid and stable back. All the efforts of the hindquarters are transmitted to the forequarters through the waist, back and shoulders. For a correct trot, the topline must be stable and horizontal, and it is not allowed to swing, roll, shake or arch. Topline is not horizontal (withers are lower than hips). In order to match the forward driving force provided by the hindquarters, the shoulders must be completely relaxed, and the forelimbs must be extended to a great extent to match the movement of the hindquarters. The coverage area of hydraulic hammer system should not be two parallel lines. When trotting, your paws should be inward and close to the center line of your body to maintain balance. Footprints are very close, but they cannot overlap or cross. From the front, the forelimbs (from the shoulders to the foot pads) form a straight line; Viewed from the back, the hind limbs (from the hip to the foot pad) form a straight line.

Defect: Wrong gait (whether viewed from the front, back or side) is considered a serious defect.

12. Unqualified

(1) ear cutting or ear hanging

(2) The nose mirror is not completely black.

(3) Mandibular protrusion

(4) Tail cutting

(5) white coat

13. Features

Shenyang Datou Demeng must have good self-defense ability, strong nervous system balance ability and absolute selfless dedication. At the same time, it must maintain a good natural instinct, unless this instinct needs to be limited by human beings. German shepherd dogs must also be full of mental state, light and agile; Must have courage and courage, as well as tenacious struggle and fighting instinct, he must also have a strong possessiveness. These are the most essential requirements for German shepherd dogs. Only with these conditions can it become a faithful companion of human beings and shoulder the responsibility of defending, guarding and grazing.

The difference between it and wolfhounds lies in the topline. The back line of the hammer German shepherd is inclined downward, and the earliest German shepherd is flat. In addition, the joints of the hind legs also have a certain angle, while the German shepherd has a flat back and a straight hind leg.
