About

What is a Australian Stumpy Tail Cattle Dog?

Medium-sized, rugged working dog with naturally short tail, bred for herding cattle in harsh Australian conditions. This compact, athletic breed combines intelligence, stamina, and exceptional herding prowess.

Australian Stumpy Tail Cattle Dog history and origins

Developed in the early-to-mid 1800s by Australian cattlemen crossing British herding dogs (such as the Smithfield) with native Australian dingo-type dogs. Bred specifically for working ability and natural bob-tail, developing parallel to the Australian Cattle Dog as an independent herding breed.

Lo que dice el estándar de la raza

Criado para
As the name implies the dog’s prime function, and one in which he has no peer, is the control and herding of cattle in both wide open and confined areas, as well as in harsh conditions. Always alert, extremely intelligent, watchful, courageous and trustworthy, with an implicit devotion to duty making it an ideal working cattle dog
Comportamiento y temperamento
The "Stumpy" possesses a natural aptitude in the working and control of cattle, and a loyal, courageous and devoted disposition. It is ever alert, watchful and obedient, though suspicious of strangers. At all times it must be amenable to handling in the Show ring

Quoted from FCI standard n°351. It describes the breed the registry recognises, not any individual animal.

Lo que asumes

Nadie ha escrito todavía este lado. Es un juicio y no datos, así que espera a una persona — no a una fuente que falte.

Extraído de fuentes y no escrito como opinión — investigación de salud citada, el estándar del propio registro, y estudios de longevidad revisados por pares. Estándar de la raza, FCI. Los animales de un criador pueden diferir de todo esto, y una columna vacía significa que no tenemos nada de ese lado, no que no haya nada que decir.

«Preferred», «permissible», «undesirable» y «disqualifying» — preferido, admisible, indeseable y descalificante — son las palabras de la propia FCI sobre la raza, y quedan en inglés porque así constan en el estándar. Describen lo que el estándar pide — no son una valoración de ningún perro concreto, ni nuestra.

• Blue

  • The dog should be blue or blue mottled, whole coloured.
  • The head may have black markings.
  • Permissible: Black markings on the body. • Red Speckle: The colour should be a good even red speckle all over, including the undercoat (not white or cream), with or without darker, red markings on the head
  • Permissible: Red patches on the body

Resumido de FCI standard n°351 — cada etiqueta está en las palabras del propio estándar, con el veredicto pasado a la etiqueta de al lado. Lee la cláusula completa en la fuente.

Lo que el estándar penaliza

Aquello por lo que un juez resta puntos a la raza Australian Stumpy Tail Cattle Dog, y lo que la deja fuera del ring, en las palabras del propio registro.
