Begin to understand the confirmation of a standard schnauzer
When looking at the Standard Schnauzer you will hear people talk about the "standard of the breed" this actually describes the "perfect dog" or what breeders strive to achieve in their breeding programs. Knowing that all dogs have faults to a certain degree it is important to start to understand some of the terminology that is used to describe a standard schnauzer's confirmation.
Judges are looking for a square build, that means that the height at the wither is the same as the length measured from the point of the shoulder to the point of the rump.
Does the appearance look correct: looking at the hindquarters the breed standard gives specific ways of determining this: if a line is drawn from the stifle to the hock would it be an extension of the back up along the upper neckline? Is the length of the back or the section starting just behind the wither and ending at the start of the loin or total half length of the top-line about the same length as the total head? The height of the forelegs to the elbow should be equal to the height from the elbow to the wither.
The angulation front and rear should be similar. The correct movement is for the standard schnauzer to reach and drive with the rear following the fore, square and in balance.
