Nose rope
Submitted by Cape33 on April 21, 2010 - 12:29amHi, I am new to showing dogs and am just doing some research. My question is regarding nose ropes. I have noticed that most show dogs have a single nose rope rather than a split nose rope. Is a single nose rope preferred in the ring or is it just a coincidence?
More articles we recommend:
Lots of nice dogs out there without big ropes...
I'm not a huge fan of big ropes...they often detract from the ability to see the layback. I think maybe it's just a coincidence in your area at this time.

Re: Nose rope
Makes no difference.
What IS important is nose placement.
A wrinkle over the nose is not a virtue if it overhangs the nose, causes entropion or gets nasty underneath.
The idea here is NOT to have a wrinkle fill in the space of a nosey head.
The idea is to have a well placed nose, well laid back. The wrinkle is not a feature even mentioned in the standard, it is just an accent.
The only wrinkles named in the standard are the dewlaps, which are under the neck.
