USRC Breed Suitability Test Entry Fee: 100.00
The USRC Breed Suitability Test (BST) was designed to determine if a Rottweiler possess the necessary qualities to
be used in a breeding program and the US gene pool. USRC strongly believes that breed tests, are vital to maintaining
the Rottweiler in type, temperament, form and function. There are two parts to the BST. The first part evaluates
conformation and structure using the FCI breed standard. The dog is measured, weighed, critiqued and moved to
ensure that it possesses no structural or disqualifying faults. The second part is a temperament test. Tests in this
phase include indifference to gunshots and for composure while moving within a group of people. The dog must also
complete a protection test, which includes defense of the handler and a courage test.
USRC BSTs are judged by qualified USRC and international judges. A written critique of the BST is provided to the
owner and also is reported in the annual USRC Breed Book. The BST also appears on the USRC pedigree of any
progeny that the dog may produce. USRC offers the Breed Suitability Test (BST) at all Full Member Club Shows.
