Pros & cons

Pros y contras de la raza Dutch Smoushond

Lo que obtienes con la raza Dutch Smoushond

  • Función declarada en el estándar: «Companion Dog»
  • El estándar describe la raza así: «The Dutch is affectionate, gay, friendly and free spirited by nature, has a lively disposition but is not nervously…»

Lo que asumes

  • Exige muchos cuidados del pelo — la descripción del propio estándar es «The hair on legs is pointing backwards, thus suggesting a slight feathering»

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.

Characteristics

Estándar de la FCI · Dutch Smoushond

Pelo y color

Tal como lo establece el estándar de la FCI. Cada línea de abajo está en las palabras del propio estándar, etiquetada con undesirable.

Coat

Hair on the body is coarse, wiry, harsh, straight and with an unkempt look about it, approx. 4-7 cms long with a sufficient undercoat.

Curly or woolly coat and tendencies to mat are undesirable.

Hair on the head is preferably of the same wiry texture as on the body.

The hair is longer on the cheeks and forms moustaches, beard and eyebrows.

The eyebrows may drop a little over the eyes as long as they do not hide the eyes or interfere with the sight.

The legs are covered with the same textured hair as on the body though slightly shorter.

The hair on legs is pointing backwards, thus suggesting a slight feathering

no dense or woolly coat must cover the legs, thus hiding the true outline.

The hair on the tail is bushy all over

Color

  • Preferred
  • Permissible
  • Undesirable
  • Disqualifying

«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.

  • Self-coloured yellow in any shades with a preference for a dark straw colour.
  • Ears, moustaches, beard and eyebrows may be of a darker nuance of yellow.
  • Undesirable: Any other colour than yellow

Resumido de FCI standard n°308 — 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 Dutch Smoushond, y lo que la deja fuera del ring, en las palabras del propio registro. Esto describe el estándar de la raza — no es una lista de comprobación para el animal que tienes delante, y un animal de compañía con un defecto descalificante es un perro que no puede ir a exposición, no un perro enfermo.

Defectos descalificantes

Dejan al animal fuera del ring por completo.

  • Lack of breed type.
  • Fraudulent modification of the dog or evidence of such practice by use of substances or surgery

FCI standard n°308

Health guide

What to ask for in a Dutch Smoushond

No breed-specific health panel has been written up for the Dutch Smoushond on this platform yet. That is a gap in our records, not a clean bill of health — ask the breeder which hereditary conditions their lines are tested for, and ask to see the results for both parents, dated and from a named laboratory.

Puppies

No puppies listed right now

No Dutch Smoushond breeder has a record on this platform yet, so there is nothing to list. That is a gap in our coverage, not a fact about the breed.
