The detail
Rhinelanders were developed in Germany in 1902, and are a full-arch breed with calico markings of black and orange on white. They are active and friendly, and breeding for show produces many poorly marked kits.

What to weigh
Rhinelanders need space and exercise. Their calico markings are hard to breed well, so many kits are not show quality.
