8 BREED UITABILITY TET INFORMATION The Breed uitability Test (BT) is designed to select those Rottweilers that are worthy of being bred. The dog s conformation must be judged of breeding quality and free of disqualifying faults. The dog must have a valid hip certification number and have a tattoo for identification. Once the conformation and soundness qualifications have been met, the dog s temperament is tested. This test includes a gun sureness test, a protection test, and a test to insure that the dog is stable around the public. The United tates Rottweiler Club strongly believes that these tests are vital to maintain the Rottweiler in type and temperament and should be the cornerstone of any breeding program. BT Prerequisites Information for Owners & Handlers The BT will be conducted according to the URC regulations. The judgment of the Kormeister or Judge is final. No appeals are possible. BT critiques are not official until checked, recorded and signed by the Head Breed Warden and/or the Administrator of Records. After the BTs are approved, the original copy will be forwarded to the dog owner. The BT paperwork must be complete and available for inspection on the day of the test. If this is not done, the BT will not be signed and will be deemed invalid. The dog may retest. Both the owner and handler must be URC members.
