Pros & cons

Prós e contras da raça West Siberian Laika

O que ganha com a raça West Siberian Laika

  • Função declarada no padrão: «Hunting dog for all-round purposes»
  • O padrão descreve a raça assim: «Steady, evenly-tempered»

O que tem de assumir

  • Exige muitos cuidados com o pelo — a descrição do próprio padrão é «The coat on the back of rear legs forms trousers without feathering.»

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 · West Siberian Laika

Pelo e cor

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

Coat

Outer coat is dense, harsh and straight.

Undercoat is well developed, soft, abundant and woolly.

The coat on the head and ears is short and dense.

The coat on shoulders and the neck is longer than on the body and forms a collar

on the cheekbones it forms side- whiskers.

In males the coat on the withers is longer.

Limbs are covered with short, harsh, dense coat, which is slightly longer on the back side of the fore limbs.

The coat on the back of rear legs forms trousers without feathering.

There is a protective growth of brush-like hair between the toes.

The tail is profusely covered with straight and harsh hair that is just slightly longer on the underside but without feathering

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 with reddish-brown, red with reddish-brown, grey, red, fawn and reddish-brown in all shades.
  • Pure white or parti-colour i.e. white with patches of any colour mentioned above similar to the ground body colour

Resumido de FCI standard n°306 — cada etiqueta está nas palavras do próprio padrão, com o veredito passado para a etiqueta ao lado. Leia a cláusula completa na fonte.

O que o padrão penaliza

Aquilo que faz um juiz descontar pontos à raça West Siberian Laika, e o que a põe fora do ring, nas palavras do próprio registo. Isto descreve o padrão da raça — não é uma lista de verificação para o animal que tem à frente, e um animal de companhia com um defeito desqualificante é um cão que não pode ir a exposição, não um cão doente.

What to ask for in a West Siberian Laika

No breed-specific health panel has been written up for the West Siberian Laika 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 West Siberian Laika 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.
