Max is (I think) is a good breed standard.
That's what dog shows are for. To prove your dog conforms to the breed standard; so it's not just YOUR opinion - it's the opinion of the judge(s) who has had lots of experience in the breed.

I personally believe all dogs that are bred should have a working title (CGC, obedience, agility, tracking, or Schutzhund, etc.) and their Champion (CH) conformation title. The working title is especially important in breeds that were made to WORK! Why would you breed, if the dog does not like to work, but it was originally bred to work? This is just my opinion.

As to the information on a stud dog contract, the book, "The Rottweiler, Centuries of Service" has a nice chapter on that. It says mostly to include what constitutes a litter (ie, one pup that lives to 6 weeks, 2 pups at birth, etc.), what happens if the bitch doesn't take, and other important things like that. Good luck!
