As the "ceiling" of the IQ of the dog world, there are simply not too many people who raise side herders.
But do you know whether you raise purebred side herders or skewer side herders?
To tell you the truth, if your family side herder has these 6 characteristics, it is a purebred who has not run!
Come and see how many of your family occupies?
First, the mouth
In fact, Bian Mu's mouth is very beautiful,
The curvature of the mouth is not so sharp, it is relatively rounded,
It looks like a U-shape.
If it's a side herd skewer,
The mouth may be narrow and pointed, appearing like a "V-shape",
Pet owners should pay attention when purchasing.
Second, the eyes
The purebred side herder has round eyes like pebbles, and he is shining, revealing a sense of resourcefulness.
Usually purebred side herders have dark brown eyes,
Only meteorite-colored side pastors are allowed to have blue eyes, and the others are disqualified,
What color are your side pastor's eyes?
3. Face shape
The purebred shepherd dog face shape gives a feeling of bending down,
From the top of the head to the tip of the nose, there is a distinct sunken part in the middle of the eye.
The face shape of the skewer looks relatively straight and has no sagging curves.
The owner paid special attention when buying.
4. Body type
Border Collies belong to medium-sized and large dogs, muscular, but not particularly fat.
The height of the male dog is about 48-53 cm and the weight is 22-24 kg;
The female dog is slightly smaller, between 46-51 cm and between 16 and 20 kg.
Generally, Bianmu will be more rounded when he is a child, and will become more slender when he grows up.
If your family is a puppy, especially thin and has long limbs, it is likely to be skewers.
5. Ears
The ears of purebred side herders are medium in size and the ears are separated,
It usually begins to appear in an upright or semi-upright ear state in about two months.
Note that the ears of purebred side herders are ear roots standing up,
You can't stand all upright or lie on your head,
Otherwise, it is disqualification.
6. Coat color
There are many coat colors of side herds, the more common ones are black and white, blue and white, golden white, meteorite and so on.
Secondly, purebred side herders should have a double coat,
The hair is soft and easy to touch, and the hair is longer, so the amount of hair loss is relatively large.
If this is not the case with your side pastor, then it is likely to be raised on skewers.
But whether it is a purebred side herder or not, it is the master's treasure, and we must treat it well~
The following are the feeding precautions for side herding:
1. The courage of the side herd is usually relatively small, and he is afraid of everything he sees,
So be careful not to scare it all the time when raising it.
2. Bian Mu has a very high IQ, so he will often pretend to be deaf and dumb and will fight wits with you and tease you.
It is best to give it more obedience training from an early age after raising a side herd,
Pair it with snacks and it will work better with you.
3. Bian Mu has a double coat, so the hair loss will be more severe,
If you want to improve its hair loss, it is best to comb it more and bask in the sun,
It is also best to choose dog food that contains beautiful hair ingredients, which can reduce the amount of hair shedding.
