Rottweiler Show Results

I was extremely disappointed when my judging was interrupted with an announcement requesting an exhibitor to return to their car, their dog was in distress due to the heat in the car, this is totally unacceptable you have no excuse.

I would like to say remember you’re showing your dogs & care should also be taken to clean your dogs teeth. Some of the teeth were not clean. Some dogs also lost out on fitness, they may look nice on the stand & visually move around the ring cleanly. We have a working dog, they need muscle to do work, I found that lacking in some of them & you paid the price. My winners had that first & foremost in each class, my OB class was the hardest of the day, a lot of lovely girls who could change places any day. All the dog’s temperaments were good & a pleasure to go over.

A little loose in skin but sure growth will fill this. Correct length in neck & lay in shoulder, clean on outline & although movement was a little slack he was honest.
