I know, but with regards to showing Rotts I am a complete Novice. I don't even know what Marius' faults are!
This is why I don't feel able to critique any Rott, I only know my own personal likes and dislikes lol

I know bits of the standard by heart. When we went for Marius I knew to look for dark flews, pencil markings on feet, no white bits, stuff like that. I know adult males shouldn't look 'bitchy' and vice versa and what a good topline looks like.
But some bits of it are double-dutch to me. Particularly this part of it....
Body: Chest roomy, broad and deep with well sprung ribs. Depth of brisket will not be more, and not much less than 50 per cent of shoulder height. Back straight, strong and not too long, ratio of shoulder height to length of body should be as 9 is to 10, loins short, strong and deep, flanks not tucked up. Croup of proportionate length, and broad, very slightly sloping.
I wouldn't know what that is to look at!! What is 9 to 10?:smt017 Haven't a clue!!
PS sorry for hijacking the thread
