[Introduction]

The ideal Rottweiler is a medium-sized, energetic and very powerful dog, black with obvious rust markings. The compact and sturdy structure shows great strength, flexibility and endurance. Men are bigger, have bigger bones and have more bone mass than women. Women are soft but not weak in structure and constitution.

"Origin": Germany

[body type]

Male height is about 24~27 inches; The female is about 22 to 25 inches tall. The median height of each sex is preferred. On the premise that the height is within the allowable range, the correct proportion is very important.

The body length (the distance from the front of the sternum to the hip) is slightly greater than the shoulder height, and the best ratio of height to body length is 9: 10. Rothwell dogs are neither rough nor shell-shaped. The depth of the chest is about half (50%) of the shoulder height. Its muscles and bones are well developed, which is in harmony with the body structure. It is very powerful and compact.

Main defects: improper proportion, too high or too low height, and gender inversion (like a female dog or a male dog).

[head]

Medium length, wide between ears; The forehead contour is moderately arched; The cheekbones are round and clear, and the upper and lower jaws are very strong. The ideal ratio of the back of the head to the muzzle is 3/2. His forehead is dry, but when he is alert, some wrinkles will appear. Expression: noble, alert and confident. Eyes: medium-sized, almond-shaped, eyelids just fit the eyeball, moderate depth, neither protruding nor backward. The ideal color is uniform dark brown. Main defects: yellow eyes (eye color of predatory birds of prey); Eyes of different colors or sizes; The orbit is hairless. Unqualified: entropion of eyelid; Eversion of eyelid. Ears: medium size, drooping, triangular; The ears are on the same plane as the top of the head when listening warily, which widens the appearance of the head. The distance between the two ears is wide and drooping, with the inner edge of the ear close to the head and the end close to the middle of the cheek. Main defects: improper shape (wrinkled, folded or always away from the head/cheeks). Muzzle: The bridge of the nose is straight, the root is wide, and it narrows slightly towards the nose mirror. The muzzle is wide at the end and the chin is clear. The nose mirror is wider than the circular arch and is always black. The lips are always black, the corners of the mouth are closed, and the deeper the pigment in the mouth, the better. Main defect: lack of pigment in oral cavity (pink oral cavity). Teeth and occlusion: 42 teeth (20 maxillary teeth; 22 jaws), strong teeth, accurate position, scissors bite. Main defects: pincer bite or missing teeth. Unqualified: maxillary protrusive occlusion or mandibular protrusive occlusion; A crooked mouth; Missing two or more teeth.

[neck, topline, body]

Neck: strong, muscular, medium length, slightly arched, without loose skin. Topline: The back is firm and horizontal, extending straight from the back of withers to the buttocks. Whether standing or walking, the back is parallel to the ground. Body: the chest is wide, broad and deep, extending to the elbow, the front chest is prominent, and the ribs are well expanded and oval. The back is straight and strong, the waist is short and deep, and the muscles are developed. Hips are wide, of medium length and slightly inclined. The lower abdomen curve of mature Loewena is slightly convex. Male scrotum must have two testicles. Disqualification: Male unilateral cryptorchidism or cryptorchidism. Tail: cut off the tail and keep one or two tailbones close to the body. The position of the tail is more important than the length. The correct position of the tail should be like the extension of the topline, and it should be placed horizontally whether standing or walking.

[precursor]

The scapula is long and backward, and the length of the forearm is equal to the length of the scapula, so the elbow is located on the lower side of the body. The distance from withers to elbows is equal to the distance from elbows to the ground. Legs are strong and straight, with plenty of bones. Don't get too close. The ankles are strong and elastic, almost perpendicular to the ground. Feet are round and compact, toes are arched, and toes neither bend inward nor turn outward. The cushion is thick and hard. Toes are short, strong and black. Wolf claws can be removed.

[Hip]

The angle of the hindquarters is equal to that of the forequarters. The upper thigh is quite long, very wide and muscular. Knee joint angle is appropriate. The lower thigh is long, wide, powerful and muscular, and is connected with a strong hock joint. The back ankle is almost perpendicular to the ground. From the back, the hind legs are straight and strong, with enough distance between them to support the body firmly. The rear claw is slightly longer than the front claw, neither bending inward nor turning outward. Toes are also compact and arched, with thick and hard pads and short and strong toenails in black. Wolf claws must be pulled out.

[coat]

The outer coat is straight and thick, of medium length, lying flat on the body. Underhair appeared in the neck and thighs, but the total amount was affected by climate. The undercoat can't show through the fur. The hair on the head, ears and legs is short, and the hair on the ass is long. Rottweilers should appear naturally and should not be trimmed. Defect: wavy coat. Main defects: open, too short or curly coat; Lack of undercoat or trimming of hair will change the natural length of hair. Disqualification: long coat.

It is always black, with rust-colored to pink stripes. The difference between black and rust color is obvious. Spots appear in the following positions: there is a spot above each eye; Cheeks; There is a band around the nose and mouth, but it cannot appear on the bridge of the nose; Throat; Triangular markings appear on both sides of the chest; Forelimbs downward from wrist to toe; Inside the hind leg, down to the knee joint, extending from hock joint to toe. However, the back ankle does not completely rule out black; Under the tail; There are black pencil lines on the toes. The undercoat is gray, brown or black. The number and position of rust-colored stripes are as important as each other, and the total amount should not exceed 10% of the body color. Main defects: straw color, too many stripes, insufficient stripes or smoky gray and rust stripes are inconsistent with the above description. White markings appear anywhere (a small amount of rust-colored or white hair is not considered as markings). Unqualified: the background color is not black, and the mark is missing.

[gait]

Rottweiler's gait is a trot, with smooth, coordinated, powerful and unobstructed movements, fast acceleration and strong hindquarters. The movements are easy and effective, and can adapt to different terrains. The forelimbs and hind limbs neither bend inward nor turn outward. The hind limb footprint overlaps with the forelimb footprint. Coordinate back and forth when trotting, and keep your back level, stable and relatively static. When the speed increases, the limbs move closer to the center line below the body.

[temperament]

Rottweiler is a calm, confident and brave dog on the whole. Its self-confidence and indifference make it difficult to approach and friendly. Rottweiler's attitude towards environmental change is confident and calm. He has the nature to defend his home and family. He is a very smart dog, strong, adaptable and willing to work, which makes him a good companion dog, guard dog and multi-purpose dog.

Rottweiler dogs should be restrained in their behavior on the competition field, be willing to be examined, be able to adapt to and tolerate the referee's examination of their mouth, testicles and so on. A cold or reserved dog is not a defect, which is common in this breed. Being aggressive or aggressive towards other dogs is not a defect.

Any shy Rothwell dog must leave the stadium. Rottweilers can only be judged shy in the following situations: refusing to stand for inspection and dodging the referee. Threaten or intimidate someone (him/her). When approaching from the rear for normal inspection, if there are any signs of danger, the referee will leave. If you attack anyone on the court, you will be disqualified.
