This Masterclass was created specifically for Aussie and Miniature American breeders and judges. Their FCI breed standards are explained in detail, using photos throughout for clarification. During this Masterclass, you will deepen your understanding of the breed standards, with extra focus on traits that are becoming exaggerated. You will learn: 1. The ideal structure that enables these breeds to be highly versatile. 2. The conformation traits that are desirable or undesirable; and especially, 3. Why faulty traits are a problem, so you understand they are not just cosmetic. This video is based on the FCI BREED STANDARD REFERENCE BOOKS that are available on Amazon worldwide. Search for “Paula McDermid Australian“. Available in English-German, English-French, and English only. You’ll love how this Masterclass works, because photos are used to help clarify the Breed Standards. - LIKE THIS, NOT THAT: You'll see detailed photos comparing what's correct and what's not—such as the differences between a correct head and an exaggerated head. - WHY TRAITS ARE IMPORTANT: You'll learn what many people don't know—the reasons why specific conformation traits are important. For example, what is the correct amount of rear angulation and why is that? - TERMINOLOGY EXPLAINED: You'll finally understand terms that are not defined in the FCI standards, such as Non-Typical Coats. We hope this Masterclass inspires you protect the future of Aussies and Miniature Americans by staying true to their breed standards. YOU are the future of these wonderful breeds.
