General Appearance
The ideal Rottweiler is a medium large,
robust and powerful dog, black with clearly defined rust markings. His compact
and substantial build denotes great strength, agility and endurance. Dogs are
characteristically more massive throughout with larger frame and heavier bone
than bitches. Bitches are distinctly feminine, but without weakness of substance
or structure.
Size, Proportion, SubstanceDogs--24 inches to 27 inches.
Bitches--22 inches to 25 inches, with preferred size being mid-range of each sex. Correct proportion is of primary importance, as long as size is within the standard's range. The length of body, from prosternum to the rearmost
projection of the rump, is slightly longer than the height of the dog at the withers, the most desirable proportion of the height to length being 9 to 10. The Rottweiler is neither coarse nor shelly. Depth of chest is approximately
fifty percent (50%) of the height of the dog. His bone and muscle mass must be sufficient to balance his frame, giving a compact and very powerful appearance. Serious Faults--Lack of proportion, undersized, oversized, reversal of sex characteristics (bitchy dogs, doggy bitches).
Head Of medium length, broad between the ears; forehead line seen in profile is moderately arched; zygomatic arch and stop well developed with strong broad upper and lower jaws. The desired ratio of backskull to muzzle is 3 to 2. Forehead is preferred dry, however some wrinkling may occur when dog is alert. Expression is noble, alert, and self-assured. Eyes of medium size, almond shaped with well fitting lids, moderately deep-set, neither protruding nor receding. The desired color is a uniform dark brown. Serious Faults--Yellow (bird of prey) eyes, eyes of different color or size, hairless eye rim. Disqualification--Entropion. Ectropion. Ears of medium size, pendant, triangular in shape; when carried alertly the ears are level with the top of the skull and appear to broaden it. Ears are to be set well apart, hanging forward with the
inner edge lying tightly against the head and terminating at approximately mid-cheek. Serious Faults--Improper carriage
(creased, folded or held away from cheek/head).
Muzzle--Bridge is straight, broad at base with slight tapering towards tip. The end of the muzzle is broad with well developed chin. Nose is broad rather than round and always black. Lips-Always black; corners closed; inner mouth pigment is preferred dark. Serious Faults--Total lack of mouth pigment (pink mouth). Bite and Dentition--Teeth 42 in number (20 upper, 22 lower), strong, correctly placed, meeting in a scissors bite--lower incisors touching inside of
upper incisors. Serious Faults--Level bite; any missing tooth. Disqualifications--Overshot, undershot (when incisors do not touch or mesh); wry mouth; two or more missing teeth.
Neck, Topline, Body Neck--Powerful, well muscled, moderately long, slightly arched and without loose skin. Topline--The back is firm and level, extending in a straight line from behind the withers to the croup. The back remains horizontal to the ground while the dog is moving or standing. Body--The chest is roomy, broad and deep, reaching to elbow, with well pronounced forechest and well sprung, oval ribs. Back is straight and strong. Loin is short, deep and well muscled. Croup is broad, of medium length and only slightly sloping. Underline of a mature Rottweiler has a slight tuck-up. Males must have two normal testicles properly descended into the scrotum. Disqualification--Unilateral cryptorchid or
cryptorchid males. Tail--Tail docked short, close to body, leaving one or two tail vertebrae. The set of the tail is more important than length. Properly set, it gives an impression of elongation of topline; carried slightly above horizontal when the dog is excited or moving.Forequarters :Shoulder blade is long and well laid back. Upper arm equal in length to shoulder blade, set so elbows are well under body.
Distance from withers to elbow and elbow to ground is equal. Legs are strongly developed with straight, heavy bone, not set close together. Pasterns are strong, springy and almost perpendicular to the ground. Feet are round, compact
with well arched toes, turning neither in nor out. Pads are thick and hard.Nails short, strong and black. Dewclaws may be removed.
Hindquarters
Angulation of hindquarters balances that of forequarters. Upper thigh is fairly long, very broad and well muscled. Stifle joint is well turned. Lower thigh is long, broad and powerful, with extensive muscling leading into a strong hock joint. Rear pasterns are nearly perpendicular to the ground. Viewed from the rear, hind legs are straight,
strong and wide enough apart to fit with a properly built body. Feet are somewhat longer than the front feet, turning neither in nor out, equally compact with well arched toes. Pads are thick and hard. Nails short, strong,
and black. Dewclaws must be removed.
Coat Outer coat is straight, coarse, dense, of medium
length and lying flat. Undercoat should be present on neck and thighs, but the
amount is influenced by climatic conditions. Undercoat should not show through
outer coat. The coat is shortest on head, ears and legs, longest on breeching.
The Rottweiler is to be exhibited in the natural condition with no trimming.
Fault--Wavy coat. Serious
Faults--Open, excessively short, or curly coat; total lack of
undercoat; any trimming that alters the length of the natural coat.
Disqualification--Long coat.
Color Always black with rust to mahogany markings. The
demarcation between black and rust is to be clearly defined. The markings
should be located as follows: a spot over each eye; on cheeks; as a strip around
each side of muzzle, but not on the bridge of the nose; on throat; triangular
mark on both sides of prosternum;on forelegs from carpus downward to the toes;
on inside of rear legs showing down the front of the stifle and broadening out
to front of rear legs from hock to toes, but not completely eliminating black
from rear of pasterns; un-der tail; black penciling on toes. The undercoat is
gray, tan, or black. Quantity and location of rust markings is important and
should not exceed ten percent of body color. Serious
Faults--Straw-colored, excessive, insufficient or sooty markings;
rust marking other than described above; white marking any place on dog (a few
rust or white hairs do not constitute a marking).
Disqualifications--Any base color other than black;
absence of all markings.
Gait
The Rottweiler is a trotter. His movement should be
balanced, harmonious, sure, powerful and unhindered, with strong forereach and
a powerful rear drive. The motion is effortless, efficient, and
ground-covering. Front and rear legs are thrown neither in nor out, as the
imprint of hind feet should touch that of forefeet. In a trot the forequarters
and hindquarters are mutually coordinated while the back remains level, firm and
relatively motionless. As speed increases the legs will converge under body
towards a center line.
Temperament
The Rottweiler is basically a calm,
confident and courageous dog with a self-assured aloofness that does not lend
itself to immediate and indiscriminate friendships. A Rottweiler is
self-confident and responds quietly and with a wait-and-see attitude to
influences in his environment. He has an inherent desire to protect home and
family, and is an intelligent dog of extreme hardness and adaptability with a
strong willingness to work, making him especially suited as a companion,
guardian and general all-purpose dog.The behavior of the Rottweiler in the show ring should be controlled, willing
and adaptable, trained to submit to examination of mouth, testicles, etc. An aloof or reserved dog should not be penalized, as this reflects the accepted character of the breed. An aggressive or belligerent attitude towards other
dogs should not be faulted.A judge shall excuse from the ring any shy Rottweiler. A dog shall be judged
fundamentally shy if, refusing to stand for examination, it shrinks away from the judge. A dog that in the opinion of the judge menaces or threatens him/her, or exhibits any sign that it may not be safely approached or examined by the
judge in the normal manner, shall be excused from the ring. A dog that in the opinion of the judge attacks any person in the ring shall be disqualified.Summary Faults - The foregoing is a description of the ideal Rottweiler. Any structural fault that detracts from the above described working dog must be penalized to the extent of the deviation.
