Historical sources
For centuries, almost no one except Scotland knew about coarse-haired shepherds. It has become one of the most popular varieties in the world. This dog has always been a cow and sheep guard dog with enthusiasm for work, and is a serious, intelligent and intelligent working dog breed. The Coarse Wool shepherd originated in the Scottish lowlands and took its name from the local black sheep called Colley. Like many other dog breeds, it is deeply favored by Queen Victoria. In 1860, when the Queen visited Scotland in person, she returned to Wensha Fort with several animals to breed. It gradually became a well-received shepherd dog in The United Kingdom. In the late 1990s, it was also loved by Americans. In 1940, the coarse-haired Shepherd starred in the role of Lacey (the film Greyhound Lacey adapted from a classical novel).
The Curly Shepherd no longer needs to graze sheep, but it has not abandoned the qualities of its ancestors and has become a loyal family dog with a special affection for young children. The Collie is most willing to do things and is more than willing to take on the dual duties of family companion and caretaker. Coarse-haired Collie Shepherds have double thick coats in sable and white, with blue-grey fur with three shades or black spots being the most precious. Obviously, such fur needs to be groomed and trimmed regularly, but fortunately the curly shepherd's leg hair is not as thick as other thick-haired dogs. Coarse-haired Collie Shepherds, like all working dogs, need to be given regular opportunities to exercise to stay in tip-top shape. It instinctively likes to please people and is good at actively cooperating with training.
The Collie is a flexible, sturdy, positive, lively breed, meaning he has no place for worthlessness, standing naturally neat and stable. The deep, moderately wide chest shows strength, the sloping shoulder blades and moderately curved flying joints show speed and elegance, and the face shows a very high IQ. The Collie is impressive, the embodiment of self-confidence, representing true harmony, with each part in proportion to the harmony of the other parts and the whole structure. In addition to the technical details described in this standard, breeders and referees can also judge the advantages and disadvantages of the Curly dog without the standard, but this is very simple, as long as there is no one part that is out of proportion with the other parts. Timidity, fragility, irritability, lack of vitality, bulky appearance, and lack of overall balance can all weaken the Overall Appearance Score of the Curley.
The coarse-haired Collie Shepherd head is a vital part. The head, in harmony with the proportions of the overall structure, should appear light and never show any signs of heaviness. The heavy head cannot show the necessary expressions such as cheerfulness, vigilance, and rationality. Whether the head is viewed from the front or from the side, the common denominator is that the tilted wedge can be clearly observed. The silhouette is clear, smooth, refined and proportioned. Viewed from the side, from the ear to the direction of the black nose mirror, the head gradually thins, but the back of the head does not expand outward (thick skin), and the muzzle does not suddenly narrow (like an amputated muzzle). Observe the contours of the head and the contours of the tone, two roughly parallel lines, roughly equal in length, separated by a very slight, but perceptible stop. The midpoint of the two inner corners of the eye (the midpoint of the stop) is exactly the midpoint of the entire head length. The smooth, plump muzzle ends are blunt in shape, but not right-angled. The jaws are firm, well-defined, and the depth (the distance from the brow bone to the jaw) is not exaggerated. The teeth are neatly arranged, scissor-shaped bites and. Both the upper jaw protruding bite and the lower jaw protruding bite are defective, and the latter are punished more severely. The brow bone is protruding (very slight). The head is flat, neither flinched to the side nor backwards, and the posterior occipital bone is not very prominent. The correct hindbrain must be made up of the length of the head and tone, and the width of the hindbrain is smaller than the length. Therefore, the correct width is different for different individuals, and must depend on the length and width of the tone. Since head features are very important, obvious head defects are severely punished.
Since the head of the coarse-haired Collie Shepherd consists of a flat head, arched eyebrows, a slight stop, and a rounded tone, the forehead must be well-defined, leaving the eye socket in a slight tilt so that there is a better forward view. In addition to the braissica, the color of the eyes must match. The eyes are almond-shaped, medium in size, and neither too large nor prominent. The color of the eyes is dark black, and the expression of the dog cannot be affected by the presence of a yellow circle around the pupil or the instantaneous exposure of the membrane. The eyes are clear and cheerful, showing intelligence and curiosity, especially when the ears are up and very alert. In braised dogs, dark brown eyes are ideal, but blue or grey is allowed for two or single eyes. Large, round, prominent eyes can seriously affect the dog's sweet expression and is a defect. Defects in the eyes are severely punished.
Coarse-haired Collie Shepherd ears should be in the correct proportions to the head, and it is rare for ears to be born with an accurate semi-upright posture. The ears are too large to lift, and even if they do, their size is not in harmony with the proportion of the head. At rest, the ears fold forward in a semi-erect ear posture. When alert, the ears will be erect on the head, keeping 3/4 of the part upright, and 1/4 of the ear tip folding forward. Dogs whose ears are erect or whose ears are too low to show the correct expression will be punished.
The coarse-haired Collie Shepherd has a stable, neat, muscular neck with plenty of ornamentation. The length is appropriate, held upright, the back of the neck is slightly rounded, showing pride, and the upright posture can better display the ornament. The Coarse-Haired Collie Shepherd is stable, solid, and muscular, and in proportion, its body length is slightly greater than its height. The ribs dilate well, after moderately sloping shoulder blades, the chest is deep, reaching depth to the elbows. The back is firm and horizontal, supported by strong hips and thighs, which are tilted to form a nice circular shape. The waist is strong and rounded. Excessive obesity, lack of muscle, skin diseases, lack of bottom hair due to poor health conditions, are all defects and are punished appropriately.
Coarse-haired Collie Shepherds have straight forelimbs, muscular, adequate bone mass, and overall coordination. It shouldn't seem bulky. Forelimbs that are too close or too far apart are defects. The forearms are moderately plump, while the skulls are flexible but not weak. The hind legs are less plump, the thighs are muscular and very strong, and the flying joints and knee joints are moderately inclined. Ox limb or posterior knee hyperseousness is a defect. The claws are rather small and ovate. The foot pads are thick and tough, and the toes are rounded and tight. When the Collie is not exercising, it is allowed to pose for him (in a natural standing position, with the front and back limbs separated at an appropriate distance, and the paws are straight forward). But excessive "posing" is not necessary.
The coarse-haired Collie Shepherd has a solid gait. When the dog trotted at a slow pace and approached the referee, it could be observed that the forelimbs were very straight, and the claws were very close to the landing point on the ground. The elbows do not turn outward, there are no "crossed" steps, the steps are not undulating, there is no pacing, and there is no rolling gait. When viewed from behind, the hind legs are straight, and the claws are very close to the landing point on the ground. When trotting at medium speed, the hind legs provide a powerful driving force. Viewed from the side, the stride is large and the forelimbs are stretched very smoothly and smoothly, keeping the dorsal line level and stable. As the speed increases, the footprints of the Collie tend to be a single trajectory, that is, the forelimbs start in a straight line from the shoulders and tilt towards the centerline of the body; the hind limbs start from the hips and are in a straight line towards the centerline of the body. As a shepherd dog, it is required to be able to change speed at will in its gait and have the ability to change the direction of travel almost instantaneously.
The coarse-haired Collie Shepherd has a moderate tail length and can extend to the nodal or lower. When he rests, the tail droops, but the tip of the tail twists upwards or swirls is characteristic of this breed. When the dog is in motion or excited, the tail is raised cheerfully, but should not be higher than the back plane.
The coarse-haired Collie Shepherd is a fitting and correctly textured coat, which is an incomparable honor for the coarse-haired Collie. Except in the position of the head and legs, the hair is very rich. The outer layer is straight and rough to the touch. If the outer coat is soft, open, or curly, then regardless of the amount of hair, it is a defect. The underside is soft, thick, and so close to the body that it is difficult to see the skin apart. The mane and the hairs that decorate the hair are very rich. Facial hair is short and smooth. The hairs on the forelimbs are short and smooth, and the back of the skull is covered with pinnate ornaments. The hairs on the hind legs below the flying joint are short and smooth. During the competition, the feathered ornaments below the flying joint need to be trimmed. The hairs on the tail are unusually rich, and the hairs on the buttocks are long and thick.
The Coarse Wool curry Shepherd has four recognized colors, they are: yellow and white; tricolor; rue; and white. There is no advantage or disadvantage to the four colors. "Yellow-white" is predominantly yellow (camel, shades varying from light gold to mahogany) with white markings. White markings are mainly on the chest, neck, legs, claws, tail tips and other positions. White tendons may appear on the forehead and head (either in both places or only in one place). The "three colors" are black as the main color, with white markings like yellow and white, and a tan-brown shade on the head and legs. "Rue" is a variegated or marble color, usually blue-gray and black as the main colors, with white markings like yellow-white, usually with the same tan-brown shade as the tricolor. "White" is predominantly white, preferably with yellow, tricolor, or braissica markings.
Male coarse-haired Collie shepherds are about 24 to 26 inches tall at the shoulder and weigh about 60 to 75 pounds. Females are about 22 to 24 inches tall at the shoulders and weigh about 50 to 65 pounds. Collie dogs whose height or weight exceed the standard or who are less than the standard will be deducted points according to the degree of deviation.
Emoticons are one of the most important indicators of a Collie. Expressions are difficult to describe in abstract words, very academically. It is difficult to express specific physical characteristics such as color, weight, height, etc., graphically. However, the proportion, position, size, shape, eye color, position, size, and direction of the ears can still be described. The emotions expressed by expressions may be completely different from other varieties. Therefore, the expression of the Collie dog cannot be accurately judged and needs to be treated with caution.
