conformation

“Conformation” is the official name for “dog shows.” These programs are designed to promote the exhibition of registered purebred dogs and award those that conform to the breed standard as well as evaluate breeding stock. The dog’s conformation - his overall appearance, structure and movement - is an indication that the dog’s structure will allow him the capability to do the work it has been bred for and to produce puppies structurally correct. Fashion trends are a part of our lives and have also become a part of the dog show conformation world. Please be sure to understand the breed standard which supports the work the dog was bred for when evaluating appreance, structure and movement for your particular purposes.
