Page 1 |  Page 2   The United Kingdom Kennel Club (UKKC) ROTTWEILER THE UKKC BREED STANDARD Working Dogs Gait / Movement Conveys an impression of supple strength, endurance and purpose. While back remains firm and stable there is a powerful hindthrust and good stride. First and foremost, movement should be harmonious, positive and unrestricted. Coat Consists of top coat and undercoat. Top coat is of medium length, coarse and flat. Undercoat, essential on the neck and thighs, should not show through top coat. Hair may also be a little longer on the back of the forelegs and breechings. Long or excessively wavy coat highly undesirable. Colour Black with clearly defined markings as follows: a spot over each eye, on cheeks, as a strip around each side of muzzle, but not on bridge of nose, on throat, two clear triangles on either side of the breast bone, on forelegs from carpus downward to toes, on inside of rear legs from hock to toes, but not completely eliminating black from back of legs, under tail. Colour of markings from rich tan to mahogany and should not exceed 10 per cent of body colour. White marking is highly undesirable. Black pencil markings on toes are desirable. Undercoat is grey, fawn, or black. Size Dogs height at shoulder: between 63—69 cm (25—27 inches); bitches between 58—64 cm (23—25 inches). Height should always be considered in relation to general appearance. Faults Any departure from the foregoing points should be considered a fault and the seriousness with which the fault should be regarded should be in exact proportion to it's degree and it's effect upon the health and welfare of the dog. Note Male animals should have two apparently normal testicles fully descended into the scrotum.   Page 1 |  Page 2
