What the Breed Should Look Like

All breeds of dogs which are recognised by the Australian National Kennel Council have what is known as a "Standard". The Standard is a detailed description of the various characteristics of the breed and registered breeders constantly strive to ensure that the dogs they breed conform as closely as possible to the Standard.
