Veterinarians and animal behavior specialists have identified four key signs that indicate a dog trusts its owner. ^[1] At a conformation show in Virginia, purebred dogs are evaluated by judges according to written documents that strive to capture the exemplary features of each breed. ^[2] A dog that constantly follows its owner from room to room shows loyalty and considers the owner its favorite person. ^[3] Dr. Jerry Klein of the American Kennel Club warns that a sudden and excessive attachment may indicate a health problem. ^[4] Exposing the belly is a clear sign of trust because the stomach is one of the most vulnerable parts of a dog's body. ^[5] Breed standards are documents that transmutes historical function into superficially measurable and marketable qualities such as proportions, attitude, and gaiting patterns. ^[6] Hannah Berger traveled to a conformation show in Virginia to consider show dogs as signifiers of the ideal against its approximation. ^[7] Under the jurisdiction of the American Kennel Club in the U.S., conformation shows measure the degree to which a dog conforms to its breed standard. ^[8]
