To find the breed standards, check the American Kennel Club or United Kennel Club websites, since they will cover every aspect of your dog, including height, weight, shape, and temperament. If you have never bred dogs before, you should ask a breed expert to help you grasp the standards. Alternatively, you should attend dog shows so you can see what the best of a breed looks like, and compare it to your own dog.

They will know about all the breed standards since they are professional breeders. You can also ask your vet for help if you cannot contact any breeders. Recognize the areas covered by the breed standard. Breed standards cover just about every aspect of the dog. Breed standards dictate the weight and height of a dog, the shape of the body, temperament, gait, and the coloring. The breed standards vary from breed to breed. Some breed standards include information about the shape of the ears or skull, or even the bite of the dog's teeth. Breed standards also list characteristics or flaws that will make the dogs disqualified. Ask an expert for help. If you have never bred dogs before, you should ask an expert in the breed to help you. The expert can help you fully understand the breed standards and make an informed, unbiased assessment of your dog. You may start by talking to the breeder you got your dog from. You may also look for someone in your area through the breed's parent organization. Get your dog tested. Before you breed your dog, you need to get it checked out by a vet. This can help you determine if your dog is up to breeding standards before you breed. The vet should conduct various tests to check the status of your dog's health. Your dog should also have genetic testing done prior to breeding. These tests ensure that your dog has no genetic defects or other health problems that they can pass down to the puppies. Breeding dogs with health problems or genetic defects is irresponsible. Learn what breed standards are. Breed standards are the perfect dog specimens for any breed. If you want to breed your dog, this is the goal for the dogs you breed. Breed standards ensure the best health, temperament, working ability, and conformity in the breed. Decide if your dog should be bred. You may love your dog, but that doesn't mean they should be bred. If you want to breed your dog, you should examine your dog and think about them objectively. Only the best specimens of dogs should be bred. Check each part of the breed standards against your dog. This may include the length of their muzzle, the color of their coat, the shape of their eyes, and the length of their gait. It is possible to breed your dog with a mate who can balance the flaws, but this should only be done if your dog has minimal flaws. Attend dog shows. Another way to check breed standards is to attend dog shows. Dog shows will display the best dogs of a breed. You can watch other dogs to evaluate what characteristics and behaviors the best of the breed displays. You can compare your dog to the dogs at the dog show. Does your dog compare? Or is it not up to breed standards?
