Judges decide which is “best” by comparing the dog against its own breed and group’s ideal standards.

“Dogs were originally bred to do specific jobs, whether hunting, guarding, tracking, or companionship,” the Westminster Kennel Club explains . “The standard describes how a dog should look in order to carry out its job.”
