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 · Irish Red and White Setter

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

Long silky fine hair called "Feathering" on the back of the fore and hind legs and on the outer ear flap, also a reasonable amount on the flank extending on to the chest and throat forming a fringe.

All feathering straight, flat and free from curl but slight wave is permissible.

The tail should be well feathered.

On all other parts of the body the hair should be short, flat and free from curl

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.

  • Base colour white with solid red patches (clear islands of red colour), both colours should show the maximum of life and bloom
  • Permissible: Flecking but not roaning around the face and feet and up the foreleg as far as the elbow and up the hindleg as far as the hock
  • Roaning,flecking and mottling on any other part of the body is objectionable

La FCI distingue un ideal de lo que está permitido.

Lo que el estándar penaliza

Aquello por lo que un juez resta puntos a la raza Irish Red and White Setter, 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.

  • Males not having two apparently normal testicles.
  • Although flecking but not roaning is permitted around the face and feet and up the forelegs as far as the elbow and up the hindleg as far as the hock, visible and excessive roaning, flecking and mottling on any other part of the body is an eliminating fault
