How do you judge whether a Rottweiler is pure? The head is medium long, and the distance between the ears is wide; the forehead line is moderately arched in side view; the zygomatic arch and frontonasal step are well developed, and the upper and lower jaws are strong and wide; the eyes are moderate in size, almond-shaped, and the eyelids are Tight; neck strong, muscular, medium length, slightly arched, no loose skin; under normal circumstances, the tail reaches the top line, when relaxed, it may hang or be docked.

The difference between an impure and pure Rottweiler depends on whether it looks like its father. All famous dogs have birth certificates. The birth certificates indicate whether they were born pure or not. Now there is a kind of Instruments can be used for testing, and one of the most common ways to identify is blood testing. You can check whether the blood is pure.

Head (head, face, eyes, ears, nose, mouth, muzzle, jaw, teeth)

Head: medium length, wide distance between ears; moderately arched forehead line in side view; well-developed zygomatic arch and frontonasal step, strong and wide upper and lower jaws. The ideal ratio of skull to muzzle is 3:2. It is better if the forehead is dry, but some wrinkles may appear if you are careful.

Eyes: Medium in size, almond-shaped, with tight eyelids, moderately deep-set, neither protruding nor retracted. Suitable eyes should be a uniform dark brown.

Ears: Medium size, pendulous, triangular; when alert, the ears are level with the top of the skull and widen. The distance between the ears is quite wide, the inner edge is close to the ear, and the tip of the ear is located about the middle of the cheek.

Nose: straight, wide at the base and tapering toward the tip. The muzzle is broad and the chin is well developed. The nose is wide but not round, black, and the lips are black; the corners of the mouth are closed; the pigment inside the mouth is preferably dark.

Jaws/teeth: 42 in total (20 upper teeth, 22 lower teeth), strong, correctly positioned, scissors bite.

Trunk (neck, chest, ribs, waist and back, front of body, skin)

Neck: Strong, muscular, medium length, slightly arched, no loose skin. Topline: The back is strong and level, extending straight from behind the withers to the croup. Whether standing or walking, your back should be parallel to the ground. Body: Chest broad, broad and deep, extending to the elbows, with prominent forechest and well-spread, oval ribs. The back is straight and strong, the loin short, deep and muscular. Hips broad, medium length, slightly sloping. The lower abdominal curve of a mature Rottweiler is slightly lifted. Males must have two testicles in their scrotum. The body length from the front sternum to the last point of the buttocks is slightly longer than the height at the withers. The most desirable height-to-length ratio is 9:10. The Rottweiler is neither rough nor lacking enough frame to make the body narrow. Chest depth approximately half height at withers. Its skeletal muscles must be proportioned to the outline, making the appearance compact yet very powerful.

Limbs (forehead, shoulders, upper limbs, pastern joints, pasterns, soles of feet, hindquarters, thighs, hocks, joints and hock nails)

Forequarters: The shoulder blades are long and sloping back. The length of the forearms is equal to the length of the shoulder blades, so the elbows are located under the body. The distance from the withers to the elbow is equal to the distance from the elbow to the ground. legs strong andStraight, with plenty of bone and not too close together. The ankles are strong, flexible, and almost vertical to the ground. The feet are round and compact, with the toes well arched and turning neither in nor out. The pads are thick and hard. Toenails are short, strong, and black. Dewclaws can be removed. Hindquarters: The angle of the hindquarters is proportional to that of the forequarters. The upper thighs are fairly long, very broad and muscular. The knee joint angle is appropriate. The lower thighs are long, broad, powerful, well muscled, and connected by strong hocks. The hind ankles are almost perpendicular to the ground. Viewed from the rear, the hind legs are straight, strong and set far enough apart to support the body securely. The hind feet are slightly longer than the front feet, turning neither in nor out. The same compact, arched toes with thick and hard pads and short, strong, black toenails. Dewclaws must be removed.

tail

Tail: Under normal circumstances, the tail can reach the upper line. When relaxed, it may hang or be docked. But over time, people get used to it, so almost all Rottweilers have their tails docked after birth, just to look more like a bear! However, some countries have banned tail docking. Moreover, it is not compulsory for competition dogs to have their tails docked.

Gait/movement

It is a trotting dog. Its movements are well-proportioned, coordinated, stable, powerful and unrestrained, and its forward and backward thrusts are powerful. The action is effortless, effective and has a long range. The front and rear legs swing neither outward nor inward, with the hind feet touching the front feet. At the trot, the forequarters and hindquarters are coordinated while the back remains steady and relatively motionless. As the speed increases, the legs move toward the midline under the body.
