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.

Characteristics

Estándar de la FCI · Estonian Hound

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 permissible.

Coat

Moderate undercoat.

Tail is covered with even dense hair in the whole length and therefore the tail looks thick.

On tip of tail hair is somewhat shorter

  • Short
  • Even
  • Harsh and glossy

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.

  • Typical colour is black patches with tan markings and vivid white markings (tricolour).
  • The size of the patches is not limited.
  • Permissible: Lemon to golden-tan patches with no black (bicolour)
  • The patterns could be of various sizes and also form a saddle.
  • The black, tan, or lemon coloured patches, with or without rich tan coloured rims, contrasting well to the white.
  • The white markings should be on head, on the throat and chest stretching on to the belly.
  • All feet and the tip of the tail must be white.
  • All colours must be as bright as possible

Resumido de FCI standard n°366 — 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 Estonian Hound, 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.

  • Ears too short or too thick, set on too high, not lying close to head or covered with long hair.

Health guide

What to ask for in a Estonian Hound

No breed-specific health panel has been written up for the Estonian Hound 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 Estonian Hound 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.
