What you are taking on

Nobody has written this side yet. It is a judgement rather than data, so it waits for a person — not for a missing source.

Drawn from sources rather than written as an opinion — cited health research, the registry’s own standard, and peer-reviewed longevity. FCI breed standard. One breeder’s animals can differ from any of it, and an empty column means we hold nothing for that side rather than that there is nothing to say.

Characteristics

FCI standard · Coarse Haired Styrian Hound

Coat and colour

As the FCI standard sets it out. Every line below is the standard’s own wording, tagged permissible.

Coat

Coat on head is shorter than on body, forms a moustache

  • Rough coat
  • Not shaggy
  • Without gloss
  • Harsh and coarse

Colour

  • Preferred
  • Permissible
  • Undesirable
  • Disqualifying

Preferred, permissible, undesirable and disqualifying are FCI’s own words about the breed. They describe what the standard asks for — not an assessment of any individual dog, and not ours.

Base colour

Red and fawn

  • Permissible: White mark on chest

Shortened from FCI standard n°62 — each label is the standard’s own wording with the verdict lifted into the tag beside it. Read the full clause at source.

What the standard penalises

What a judge marks the Coarse Haired Styrian Hound down for, and what puts one out of the ring, in the registry’s own words. This describes the breed standard — it is not a checklist for the animal in front of you, and a pet with a disqualifying fault is an unshowable dog rather than an unhealthy one.

Disqualifying faults

Puts an animal out of the ring altogether.

  • Under or overshot mouth; more than two premolars (PM1 or PM2) missing.
  • Any colour other than mentioned in the standard

FCI standard n°62

Breed-level information from The Dog API. It describes the Coarse Haired Styrian Hound in general; any individual animal can differ.
