Question about "Type" (R)

[GalomyOak]

Hello,

In reading the article that included the legend for the bonitation code, I have been unable to determine what the "R" category refers to. Maybe I'm just not looking in the correct place or forum discussion. Thank you!

The R is used in Slovakian Bonitation and describes the whole impression of the dog.
Example for type R1 (dry):

Example for type R2 (rough):

It is difficult to see it on photos, it is better to see the dogs in real and compare them directly.

The R1 type is the wished one. It schould have no loose skin, good muscular structure and a firm back and should have the typical wolfish light movements.

The R1 type is called "firm", it is very similar to "dry" which was used before, I think, but it better reflects the need for good musculature and strong bones.

I think the R is used also in Czech bonitation, but mentioned in the code only if wrong (rough, lymphatic or fine).
