| I think that should read "conformation". Conformation means "to standard".

| What I always thought was conformation was their physical stature and the way they hold themselves . Kind of how they look physically.

| Conformation simply means body structure; conformation for the yorkshire terrier is explained in the AKC/YTCA standard.

I am sorry wasnt disputing what you posted just merely pointing out the definition of "show conformation" is different than "conformation" all the best
