What is the difference between a show dog and a pet in the poodle breed?

Frequently Asked Questions about Toy, Tiny, and Teacup Poodl...
Show quality dogs must be as flawless as possible. The AKC maintains information about its standards online at http://www.akc.org. We breed for pets only. We also do not line breed or inbreed, which you will find a lot in a show dog's pedigree. Some say that a show dog will have a longer nose and longer legs. We like the short babydoll face and square body of the poodles we breed. Also, show dogs tend to be as close to 10 inches as possible, while some pet quality poodles are much shorter.

It does mean that carrier and affected dogs with other desirable traits can be bred, but only to a certified, genetically “Normal/Clear" dog in order to prevent the genetic disease. We can't make specific recommendations about how people should handle their dogs.

What are the problems of this dog breed and how do you face them?

FAQ - Mastino Spagnolo - Allevamento Altare Savona
From my personal experience I honestly believe that the Spanish Mastiff has got less problems than many others Molossian dogs, for examples types of dysplasia, skin problem, callus, teeth or other, which are very evident in other Molossian dog breed. Of course with the Spanish Mastiff, being a dog of big size, it is important to place great attention on the skeletal development of the puppy, but this is a must towards any dog of giant breed.
