Pros & cons

Prós e contras da raça Romanian Raven Shepherd Dog

O que ganha com a raça Romanian Raven Shepherd Dog

  • Função declarada no padrão: «Shepherd dog for sheep and cattle. Excellent guardian»
  • O padrão descreve a raça assim: «Balanced, calm with a well developed guardian instinct, obedient and attached to his masters»

O que tem de assumir

  • Exige muitos cuidados com o pelo — a descrição do próprio padrão é «on the back side of the forequarters, the hair forms fringes»

Retirado de fontes e não escrito como opinião — investigação de saúde citada, o padrão do próprio registo, e estudos de longevidade revistos por pares. Padrão da raça, FCI. Os animais de um criador podem diferir de tudo isto, e uma coluna vazia significa que não temos nada desse lado, não que não haja nada a dizer.

Characteristics

Padrão da FCI · Romanian Raven Shepherd Dog

Pelo e cor

Tal como o padrão da FCI o estabelece. Cada linha abaixo está nas palavras do próprio padrão, etiquetada com preferred e permissible.

Coat

Head and the front part of the legs are covered with short hair.

On the body, hair is abundant, long (7-10 cm), flat, straight and rough.

Undercoat is shorter and dense.

At the neck region, hair is much longer forming a mane

on the back side of the forequarters, the hair forms fringes

on the backside of hindquarters, the hair is longer and forms culottes.

The tail is bushy, completely natural

Cor

  • Preferred
  • Permissible
  • Undesirable
  • Disqualifying

«Preferred», «permissible», «undesirable» e «disqualifying» — preferida, admissível, indesejável e desqualificante — são as palavras da própria FCI sobre a raça, e ficam em inglês porque é assim que constam do padrão. Descrevem o que o padrão exige — não são uma avaliação de nenhum cão em concreto, nem nossa.

  • Coat is always black (like a raven) or black on more than 80% of the body, with white marks on the chest and the forequarters.
  • The white marks on the forequarters must not exceed the metacarpal joint level on the front but could be extended almost to the elbow on the posterior part.
  • Permissible: Other colours except black on the white
  • The presence of white on the tip of the toes of the hind feet is not to be penalised.
  • Preferred: When two dogs are of almost the same value, that with more black
  • A coat with a reddish tinge, due to prolonged exposition to the sun during summer, should not be penalised

Resumido de FCI standard n°373 — cada etiqueta está nas palavras do próprio padrão, com o veredito passado para a etiqueta ao lado. Leia a cláusula completa na fonte.

O que o padrão penaliza

Aquilo que faz um juiz descontar pontos à raça Romanian Raven Shepherd Dog, e o que a põe fora do ring, nas palavras do próprio registo. Isto descreve o padrão da raça — não é uma lista de verificação para o animal que tem à frente, e um animal de companhia com um defeito desqualificante é um cão que não pode ir a exposição, não um cão doente.

Defeitos graves

Contam fortemente contra um exemplar no ring.

  • Untypical expression.
  • Lack of sexual dimorphism.
  • Round protruding eyes.
  • Erect ears.
  • Top line sagging or dipping.
  • Hair too short (under 6 cm)
  • Curly coat or bad coat texture.
  • Yellow eyes with untypical expression.
  • Different colour of eyes (heterochromatic).
  • Cow hocked
