For Best of Breed: In my first cut several very nice dogs
didn't go further, because they were not enough dog for me.
I am a firm believer that Rottweilers should have heavy bone and
substance as long as they aren't "clunky." If I
have heavier built (not fat), typey, and sound entries, the
elegant dog will not be my choice. I got down to three
males, each worthy of the top win.
The male I chose (Ch.
Yden's Chase Manhattan) has the bone, substance, shoulder
angulation, topline and true movement I admire. He caught my
eye when he entered the ring...making the statement,
"ROTTWEILER." He has an easily seen weakness while
standing, but he moved soundly. I put up the overall dog
with his many excellent qualities that are getting harder to find.
