I had a simple but complex question.
How do the trends in the conformation ring affect your breeding program?
What brought this question to mind was that IF/when I do breed down the road, I have a particular vision of my "perfect" rottweiler. Quite frankly it does not alwasy match some of the "top" dogs in the ring today. Now what I DO like is within the accepted standard for a rottweiler. I do prefer a bitch to have a nice distinctively feminine head, for the front to be closer to the 50% of height proportion and for the rear legs to be a bit less angulated and a bit more under the body than a LOT of dogs I am seeing now through my "virtual" travels on the net. Sometimes I honestly feel like I am looking at an oversized black and tan bulldog in the making
(I am not pointing fingers at any one kennel here or trying to insult breeders who have different preferences BTW.)
Just thought I would pick your collective brains...
