[Shag-type profile]
Collie is a flexible, strong, active, lively variety, which means he did not worthless place, natural standing, neat and strong. Deep and moderately wide chest shows strength, sloping shoulders and well bent hocks showed speed and elegance, face showing a very high IQ. Collie deep impression, is the embodiment of self-confidence, on behalf of real harmony, each part of the overall composition with other parts of the perfect, harmonious proportions. Chule in this standard as described in the technical details, the breeders and judges Tuoli standard can determine the merits of Collie, in fact, this is very simple, as long as none of parts and others are not in proportion to the place on the the. Timid, fragile, irritability, lack of anger, bulky appearance, the lack of overall balance will weaken the overall appearance of the score Collie.
[Head]
Is a vital part of the head. In proportion with the overall structure of the head should be light, and never show any signs of heavy. Heavy head can not show cheerful, alert, full of expression and other necessary reason. Whether from the front or from the side the head, have in common is observed can be clearly tilted wedge. Outline a clear, smooth, delicate and in proportion. From the side, from the direction of the ear to the black nose, tapered head, but the head does not expand outwards (cheeky), tone of voice did not look like a sudden narrowing (such as _truncate_d tone). Observed head contours and tone the contours, are two roughly parallel lines, approximately equal in length, is a very slight, but detectable only part of the separated. Two inner corner of the midpoint (the midpoint of the stop) is just the midpoint of the length of the head.
Smooth and full tone at the end, relatively blunt shape, but can not form a right angle. Jaw strong, clean cut, depth (distance from brow to chin) is not an exaggeration. Teeth arranged in neat rows, a scissors bite. Overshot and undershot bite, and bite is a fault, the latter will be more severe punishment. Prominent brow (very slight). Head flat, not to the side of the back, not back to back, and the occipital bone is not very prominent. The right brain must rely on the length of the head and muzzle of the composition, while the width is less than head length. Therefore, different individuals, the correct width is different, must rely on the tone of the length and width. As the head feature is very important, so obviously the head defects will be severely punished.
[Eyes]
As the head by a flat head, arched eyebrows, the Ministry only slight, round tone composition, it must be chiseled forehead, leaving the orbital position only slightly tilted, so as to have good forward visibility. In addition Yun Shi-color dog, the eye color to match. Almond-shaped eyes, shape, medium size, neither too large nor prominent. Eye color is dark black, not because there is a yellow circle around the pupil, or haw revealed, which will affect the dog's expression. Eyes clear, cheerful, showing intelligent, curious, especially when the ears erect, very wary of the time. Yun Shi-colored dog, dark brown eyes the most ideal, but a single eye or two eyes as blue or gray is allowed. Large, round, prominent eyes will seriously affect the dog's sweet face, is a fault. Eye defects will be severely punished.
[Ear]
Ear was the right size should be the ratio of the head, ears, was born the exact attitude semi-erect ear is rare. Ears too large, usually not raised, even if they lift their head size and the ratio is not coordinated. Rest, the ears fold forward, was a semi-erect ears gesture. Alert, the ears will be put up in his head, to keep 3 / 4 part is upright, 1 / 4 sharp ears fold forward. If the dog's ears to stand the ear or ear position is too low, but can not reveal the correct expression, will therefore be punished.
[Neck]
Neck, solid, clean, muscular, with a lot of feathering. Appropriate length, straight up holding, neck and back slightly arched, showing proud, upright posture can be a better show feathering.
[Body]
Body solid, solid and muscular, ratio, slightly longer than tall. Ribs well sprung, after a moderate sloping shoulders, chest deep, deep to the elbow. Back strong and level, by the strong support of the hips and thighs, hips tilted, forming a beautiful arc-shaped perfect. Lower back strong and arched. Obesity, lack of muscle, skin diseases, due to poor health conditions, lack of undercoat is a fault and the appropriate punishment.
[Leg]
Forelegs straight and muscular, bone, and overall coordination. Should not be cumbersome. Forelimb too close or too far away is a fault. Forearm moderately full, and pasterns are flexible but not weak. Hind legs not so plump, muscular thighs and very strong, moderate hock and knee tilt. Cow hocks or straight after the knee had a fault. Feet rather small, oval. Pads thick and tough, toes arched and close. When the Collie is not movement, allowing for his swing style (by the natural standing position, before the hind legs are the proper distance apart, the feet are straight ahead). But too much "posing" is undesirable.
[Gait]
Gait solid. When the dog to a slow trot, in the face came when the referee, can be observed very straight front legs, the feet on the ground impact point very close. Do not turn out the elbow, there is no "cross" step, pace without ups and downs, and no pacing, and no rolling gait. When viewed from behind, hind legs straight, feet on the ground impact point very close to. In the medium-speed trot, the hind legs to provide a powerful driving force. From the side, big stride, forelimb extension is very smooth and smooth, the topline should remain level and stable.
When the speed increases, the Collie tends to single track of footprints, that is, forelegs straight line starting from the shoulder to the center line of the body tilt; hind legs from the hip in a straight line, the centerline of the body tilt. As a shepherd, asking them to gait, is able to change the speed and the ability to change direction of travel almost instantaneously.
[Tail]
Tail of medium length, to hock or less. When he breaks, tail drooping, but the tail was pointed upward vortex is distorted or the characteristics of this species. When the dog is in motion or excited, the tail happily raised, but should not be higher than the back plane.
[Hair]
Fit and proper coat texture of coarse Collie, it is a tremendous honor. In addition to a location other than the head and legs, hair is very generous. Outer coat is straight, touch is stiff. If the outer coat is soft, open, or curly, then no matter how gross amount, are flawed. The undercoat is soft, strong, close to the body, that are difficult to separate the hair to see the skin. Mane of hair and hair ornaments are very rich. Facial hair short and smooth. Forelimb hair short and smooth, long rear pasterns are feathered. Hind legs in the flight section of the following parts of the hair short and smooth. Competition, the following part of the hock feathering need to trim off. The hair on the tail of a remarkably handsome and hip hair is long and bushy. Hair texture, hair volume, and range (coat "fit" in no) is a very important indicator.
[Color]
Four colors are recognized, they are: yellow-white; three colors; Yun stone color; white. There is no better or worse in four colors. "Yellow-white" is yellow (light tan, from the shallow depth of color ranging from gold to dark mahogany)-based, with white markings. The white stripes seen in the chest, neck, legs, feet, tail tip and other locations. Forehead and the head may appear white bars (only one or two there). "Tri-color" as the main color is black, white and yellow with white markings as in the head and legs are dark brown shadow. "Yun stone color" is a mottled or marble color, usually blue-gray and black as the main colors, white and yellow, like with white markings, often with the same dark brown with three-color shadow. "White" is predominantly white, preferably with a yellow, three-color or Yun stone markings.
[Size]
Male shoulder height of about 24 to 26 inches, weighing about 60 to 75 pounds. Bitches about 22 to 24 inches, weighing about 50 to 65 pounds. Height or weight exceeds the standard, or less than the standard Collie, will be based on the extent of its departure points.
[Expression]
Expression is to evaluate the Collie is one of the most important indicators. Expression difficult to use abstract words, describe a very academic. Not like the color, weight, height and other specific physical characteristics, it is difficult to be expressed graphically. However, the head and the tone of the scale, location, size, shape, eye color, location, size, direction of the ear can still be described. Perhaps the expression of the sentiments expressed by other species with completely different. Therefore, the expression of Collie can not be accurately judged so far, need to be treated with caution.
[Short-haired type]
Short-haired Collie-type criteria for judging the Collie and coarse exactly the same type, in addition to coat the judge asked. Short-haired type of coat is short, hard, thick, flat body, good texture; undercoat is very generous. |
