BEARDED COLLIE Foto

ORIGIN : Great Britain.

DATE OF PUBLICATION OF THE ORIGINAL VALID STANDARD : 24.06.1987.

UTILIZATION : Sheepdog.

CLASSIFICATION FCI : Group 1 Sheepdogs and Cattle Dogs (except Swiss Cattle Dogs).

Section 1 Sheepdogs.

Without working trial.

GENERAL APPEARANCE :
A lean active dog, longer than it is high in an approximate proportion of 5 to 4, measured from point of chest to point of buttock. Bitches may be slightly longer. The breed, though strongly made, should show plenty of daylight under the body and should not look too heavy. A bright, enquiring expression is a distinctive feature of the breed.

CHARACTERISTICS :

The Bearded Collie should be alert, lively, self-confident and active. The temperament should be that of a steady intelligent working dog, with no signs of nervousness or aggression.

BEHAVIOUR/TEMPERAMENT :
Steady, intelligent working dog, with no signs of nervousness or aggression.

HEAD AND SKULL: The head should be in proportion to the size of the dog. The skull broad and flat and square, the distance between stop and occiput being equal to the width between the orifices of the ears. The muzzle strong and equal in length to the distance between the stop and the occiput, the whole effect being that of a dog with strength of muzzle and plenty of brain room. The stop should be moderate. The nose large and square, generally black but normally following the coat colour in blues and browns. The nose and lips should be of solid colour without spots or patches. Pigmentation of lips and eyerims should follow nose colour.

EYES: The eyes should tone with coat in colour, be set widely apart and be large, soft and affectionate, but not protruding. The eyebrows arched up and forward but not so long as to obscure the eyes.

EARS: The ears of medium size and drooping. When the dog is alert, the ears should lift at the base level with, but not above, the top of the skull, increasing the apparent breadth of the skull.

MOUTH: The teeth large and white, the incisors of the lower jaw fitting tightly behind those of the upper jaw. However, a pincer bite is acceptable.

NECK: Moderate length, muscular and slightly arched.

BODY: The length of the back should come from the length of the ribcage and not that of the loin. The back level and ribs well-sprung but not barrelled. The loins should be strong and the chest deep, giving plenty of heart and lung room.

TAIL: Set low, without kink or twist, and long enough for the end of the bone to reach at least the point of the hock. Carried low with an upward swirl at the tip whilst standing or walking, but may be extended at speed. Never carried over the back. Covered with abundant hair.

LIMBS

FOREQUARTERS: The shoulders should slope well back: a line drawn through the centre of the shoulder blade should form a right angle (90 degrees) with the humerus. The shoulder blades at the withers should be separated only by the vertebrae but should slope outwards from there sufficiently to accommodate the desired spring of rib. Legs straight and vertical, with good bone and covered with shaggy hair all round. Pasterns flexible without weakness.

HINDQUARTERS: Well-muscled with good second thighs, well-bent stifles and low hocks. The lower leg should fall at a right angle to the ground and, in normal stance, should be just behind a line vertically below the point of the buttock.

FEET: Oval in shape with the soles well-padded. The toes arched and close together, well covered with hair, including between the pads.

GAIT/MOVEMENT: Movement should be supple, smooth and long reaching, covering the ground with the minimum of effort.

COAT

HAIR : Double with the undercoat soft, furry and close. Outercoat flat, harsh, strong and shaggy, free from woolliness and curl, though a slight wave is permissible. Length and density of the hair should be sufficient to provide a protective coat and to enhance the shape of the dog, but not enough to obscure the natural lines of the body. The coat must not be trimmed in any way. On the head, the bridge of the nose should be sparsely covered with hair which is slightly longer on the side just to cover the lips. From the cheeks, the lower lips and under the chin, the coat should increase in length towards the chest, forming the typical beard.

COLOUR : Slate grey, reddish fawn, black, blue, all shades of grey, brown and sandy, with or without white markings. Where white occurs it should appear on the foreface, as a blaze on the skull, on the tip of the tail, on the chest, legs and feet and, if round the collar, the roots of the white hair should not extend behind the shoulder. White should not appear above the hocks on the outside of the hind legs. Slight tan markings are acceptable on the eyebrows, inside the ears, on the cheeks, under the root of the tail, and on the legs where white joins the main colour.

SIZE : Ideal height at the shoulder: Dogs 53-56 cm (21-22 in). Bitches 51-53 cm (20-21 in).

Overall quality and proportions should be considered before size but excessive variation from the ideal height should be discouraged.

FAULTS : Any departure from the foregoing points should be considered a fault and the seriousness with which the fault is regarded should be in exact proportion to its degree.

NOTE : Male animals should have two apparently normal testicles fully descended into the scrotum.

BRIEF HISTORICAL SUMMARY : The Greenland Dog is one of the world’s oldest breeds and has since ancient times been used for transportation and hunting purposes by the Eskimos. Selection of specimens for breeding has been based mainly upon qualities like sturdy strength, hardiness and endurance, but an attractive appearance has also been kept in view. With its robust nature the Greenland Dog is especially a dog for people enjoying open-air life. He is an excellent companion for people who likes strolling in woods or mountains with their dog pulling or carrying their gear.

GENERAL APPEARANCE : A very strong polar spitz, built for endurance and strenuous work as a sledge dog under arctic conditions. Some variation in size is allowed, assuming working ability and harmony are not affected.

IMPORTANT PROPORTIONS : The body is short rectangular with the ratio of height at withers to body length as 10 to 11. Bitches are allowed a slightly longer body.

BEHAVIOUR / TEMPERAMENT : The predominant temperamental qualities of the Greenland Dog are energy, mental strength and boldness. He is a passionate and tireless sledge dog. To people - also strangers - he is friendly, and while acting as sledge dog not closely attached to any particular person and so not suitable as a guard dog. On hunting seal and polar bear he will show a strong hunting instinct.

Nose : Big and dark, corresponding to coat colour, often liver in dogs with red-golden coat. May turn pink during winter (« winter-nose »).

Muzzle : In the shape of a wedge, broad at base and tapering towards the nose, but not pointed. The nasal bridge is straight and broad from the stop to the nose.

Eyes : Dark eyes are preferred, but colour according to coat is accepted. They are slightly slanted and not deep set or protruding. Expression is frank and bold. The eye-rims are closely fitting.

Ears : Rather small, triangular, with rounded tips, carried firmly erect. The ears are very mobile and expressive through their position.

BODY : Strong and rather compact, just slightly longer than height at withers.

TAIL : Set on high, thick and bushy. Carried in a curve or lightly curled over back.

FOREQUARTERS : Seen from the front the forelegs are perfectly straight, with powerful muscles and heavy bone.

HINDQUARTERS : Seen from behind the hindlegs are perfectly straight. Very muscular hindquarters with powerful bone and moderate angulation.

GAIT / MOVEMENT : An efficient, harmonious, fluent and tireless trot is most essential to a sledge dog. In the ring the dog should be shown in a loose lead in a moderate trot to display good reach in front and good drive from behind. Seen from front when walking, a Greenland Dog does not single track, but as the speed increases, the legs will gradually converge inward until the feet follow the center line.

HAIR : Double coat, i.e. a soft, dense undercoat and an outer coat of dense, straight and coarse hair, without curl or wave. On head and legs the hair is rather short, on the body longer and more generous. The coat is long on the underside of the tail, giving it a bushy appearance.

COLOUR : Any colour - solid or particolour - permitted, except albinos which should be disqualified.

FAULTS : Any departure from the foregoing points should be considered a fault and the seriousness with which the fault should be regarded should be in exact proportion to its degree.

Any dog clearly showing physical or behavioural abnormalities shall be disqualified.

N.B. : Male animals should have two apparently normal testicles fully descended into the scrotum.

Der "brasilianische Brasiliero" entstand wohl durch Einkreuzungen von American Foxhounds und auch Coonhounds in die heimischen Jagdhunde. Seinen Namen verdankte der Rastreador seinen besonderen jagdlichen Qualitäten, die er speziell bei der Jagd auf den südamerikanischen Jaguar unter Beweis stellte. Sechs bis sieben Stunden lang konnte der kräftige Hund mit dem exzellenten Spürsinn eine Fährte selbst durch Gebüsch, Sümpfe und im schwierigsten Gelände verfolgen. Vom Wesen her galt der kräftige, robuste Brasilianer als fröhlicher, lebhafter, kühner, folgsamer und mutiger Hund, der sich gegenüber Menschen nie aggressiv zeigte. Untereinander seien Hunde dieser Rasse jedoch bisweilen recht streitlustig gewesen.

Farbe:
Bluetick: Blaugesprenkeltes Fell bei weißer Grundfarbe, dabei Vorder- und Hinterläufebraun-gefleckt.
Zwei- oder Dreifarbig: Weiß mit schwarzen und/oder kastanienbraunen Flecken.
Black and Tan: Auch Stromung (schwarz auf braunem Grund) möglich.

De Rastreador Brasileiro of Braziliaanse Speurhond werd door de Braziliaanse jager Oswaldo Aranha gefokt, om de Zuid-Amerikaanse jaguar op te sporen. De hond moest sterk zijn en geen angst kennen om deze machtige kat na te jagen. Bovendien moest hij een uithoudingsvermogen hebben dat hem in staat stelde om deze jacht, die over een bijna onbegaanbaar terrein ging, gemiddeld zes tot zeven uur vol te houden, en dat zonder het spoor te verliezen.

Ontstaan uit kruisingen tussen de Amerikaanse Foxhound, de Black and Tan Coonhound, de Treeing Walker Coonhound en de Bluetick Coonhound. Volgens een andere bron werden ook Duitse Herders gebruikt. Het is een geducht ras, dat voortreffelijke kwaliteiten bezit en geschikt is voor alle weersomstandigheden.

Deze hond heeft een vlak hoofd met een geringe stop. Hij heeft metallic gele ogen, een krachtige diepe borst en een sabelachtige staart. Dit zijn zowat de belangrijkste kenmerken van deze uitbundige Braziliaan.

Deze hond is gebouwd op uithoudingsvermogen en kracht. De vacht is kortharig en voelt ruw aan. Hij heeft hangende oren. De schofthoogte bedraagt zo'n 63 tot 69 cm en het gewicht 22 tot 27 kg. De kleur van de Rastreador is wit (soms bruin) met blauwe, kastanje of zwarte tekening.
Hij is sterk, levendig, moedig en kan met zijn grote uithoudingsvermogen op de jaguar jagen.
De Rastreador neemt zijn agressieve jachtinstincten niet meer naar huis. Het is een ijverige en vlijtige waakhond en metgezel.
