Pros & cons

Prós e contras da raça Pumi

O que ganha com a raça Pumi

  • Função declarada no padrão: «Herding dog of Terrier type»
  • O padrão descreve a raça assim: «This rather lively herding dog has a restless temperament»

O que tem de assumir

  • Exige muitos cuidados com o pelo — a descrição do próprio padrão é «The desired coat preparation is achieved by hand trimming.»

Retirado de fontes e não escrito como opinião — investigação de saúde citada, o padrão do próprio registo, e estudos de longevidade revistos por pares. Padrão da raça, FCI. Os animais de um criador podem diferir de tudo isto, e uma coluna vazia significa que não temos nada desse lado, não que não haja nada a dizer.

Characteristics

Padrão da FCI · Pumi

Pelo e cor

Tal como o padrão da FCI o estabelece. Cada linha abaixo está nas palavras do próprio padrão, etiquetada com preferred.

Coat

The wavy, curly coat forms tufts and is never smooth or corded.

The coat has an average length of 4 to 7 cm, growing to smaller or larger tufts

it is elastic, shaggy and dense.

It consists of a strong, but not coarse, topcoat and a soft undercoat.

The dense, wiry protective hairs of medium length on the ears grow upwards.

The eyes and the foreface are free of long hair.

The desired coat preparation is achieved by hand trimming.

Smaller corrections, done with scissors on head and legs, are possible.

Preparing the entire coat with scissors is not desirable

Cor

  • Preferred
  • Permissible
  • Undesirable
  • Disqualifying

«Preferred», «permissible», «undesirable» e «disqualifying» — preferida, admissível, indesejável e desqualificante — são as palavras da própria FCI sobre a raça, e ficam em inglês porque é assim que constam do padrão. Descrevem o que o padrão exige — não são uma avaliação de nenhum cão em concreto, nem nossa.

  • • Grey in various shades (normally, the colour at birth is black, turning grey with time). • Black. • Fawn (fakó).
  • Preferred: Primary colours: red, yellow, cream (a trace of black or grey and a distinct mask)
  • A white mark on the chest less than 3 cm in diameter and/or a white line on the toes are not faulty. • White.
  • The coat colour must always be intense and solid

Health guide

What to ask for in a Pumi

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