波兰低地牧羊犬(Polish Lowland Sheepdog)AKC标准及介绍波兰低地牧羊犬简介
中型犬,强壮,强健,有长长的厚厚的被毛,悬挂的毛发覆盖着眼睛。它放牧和工作的能力要归因于强烈的取悦愿望和天性。它很活泼,但有克制,聪明,理解力好,并有优秀的记忆力。
大小,比例和体型
强壮的骨架带来很好的均衡性。成年雄犬马肩隆处测量高为18-20英寸,雌性为17-19英寸。最好不要低于标准的尺寸,那样对于一个强壮的工作犬来说有些太弱小了。它的轮廓是矩形而非方形。高与长的比例为9-10,即马肩隆的高应当等于长的9/10。
缺陷:长腿。
头部
头中等大小,与身体成比例。在前额,面颊和下巴上有极其丰富的毛发,,使头看起来要比实际大。
表情:活泼,带有敏锐的目光。
眼睛:中等大小,椭圆形。缺陷:突出的眼睛。颜色为褐色或淡褐色。眼睑的边缘为被毛颜色中较深的颜色。
耳朵:心形,下垂,位置适当的有点高。缺陷:耳朵位置过高。它们与头成比例,大小适中,应当完全被长长的毛盖住。
脑袋:适当宽些并略呈球形。前额有皱纹,后脑勺明显。止部有一个明显的凹陷,但是不会明显到呈现一个圆脑袋品种的程度。缺陷:圆头,苹果型头。口部与脑袋的比例为1比1。口部稍短一点是可以的。口部的上线是直的。缺陷:突起或凹入的口部。下颚强壮。牙齿为完整的强壮白色的牙齿,以剪状或水平咬合闭在一起。鼻子大,根据被毛的颜色,呈黑色或褐色。粉红色鼻子或部分缺少颜色的鼻子应当扣分。
颈部,背线和身体
颈部:强健,强壮。宽,没有喉部垂肉,在移动时水平举着。缺陷:颈部举得太高或颈部太窄。
背部:不能太长或太短,要有适当的均衡性和动作。
马肩隆:很明显,宽。
胸:深且宽。
背线:水平
腰:肌肉发达,宽。
臀部:略呈切形,但是只有很小的程度。腹部略有下垂。
尾巴:短,位置低,不超过两节椎骨。它不能改变身体的形状。出生时若有长或不完整的尾巴要进行断尾。
前半部
肩部:很重的肌肉,以大约45度的角度向后。从肩胛骨的最高点到连接关节的前点画条线,从连接关节的前点到肘的连接点画一条线,这两条线大约成直角。
腿:直,垂直,骨量重。
骹骨:灵活,不能太瘦弱。
脚:椭圆形,厚,紧凑,前脚要比后脚大。
后半部
大,骨量重,肌肉强健。从后面看跗骨平行。缺陷:牛一样的跗骨。脚为椭圆形,有紧闭的弓起的脚趾。脚垫硬。指甲是黑色。
被毛
双层被毛。整个身体覆盖着长长的、浓密的、蓬松的、厚厚的被毛,相当直。底层被毛柔软浓密。最典型的是长长的垂挂的毛盖住了它的眼睛。略有波形的被毛也是可以的。缺陷:卷曲的被毛,缺少底毛或短的被毛。波兰低地牧羊犬必须显得自然――不允许进行修剪。
颜色
任何被毛的颜色都可以。最常见的颜色是白色带黑色、灰色或沙色斑点,以及灰色带白色,或巧克力色。大多数由于遗传的关系,刚出生的幼犬在被毛颜色上要深于成年以后,除了那些出生时为白色的幼犬。
步态
步态为流畅的动作。它通常是个漫步者。有正确的肩部角度,它能够摆动前腿在大步幅中实现很大幅度的前伸,在它的身体前方伸出一个很长的平平的拱起。前步幅带动身体前进,而不是向上,这样不容易疲劳。当从前面看时,从肘部到骹骨应当是平行移动的。足尖要自然。缺陷:足尖向外。它的前驱的最大的动力源是来自于良好的后部角度。从后面看时,后腿应当互相平行,并且不能太近。缺陷:太近的后部动作。
性情
稳定,自信。从很小的时候,它就需要一个有统治性的主人,和协调一致的训练。如果没有这些,它会对主人表现出统治性。当不作为牧羊犬或工作犬使用时,它会像它看上去一样高贵,适合任何生活方式。它非常的忠诚,但对陌生人有些冷落和多疑。缺陷:紧张,胆怯,或行为非常恶劣。

波兰低地牧羊犬(Polish Lowland Sheepdog)AKC标准英文原版#e#
Polish Lowland Sheepdog Breed Standard General Appearance Medium-sized, cobby, strong and muscular, with a long, thick coat and hanging hair that covers the eyes. His herding and working ability is attributed to an intense desire to please and compatible nature. He is lively but self-controlled, clever and perceptive and well known for an excellent memory.
Size, Proportion, Substance Well balanced due to a strong skeleton. Height measured at the withers for an adult dog is 18 - 20 inches, and 17 - 19 inches for a bitch. It is not desirable to diminish the size below the Standard, making the dog too delicate for a strong working dog. The silhouette is rectangular rather than square. The ratio of height to length is 9 - 10, meaning that the height at the withers should equal 9/10ths of its length. Fault: Long legs.
Head and Skull The medium-sized head is in proportion to the body. The profuse hair on the forehead, cheeks and chin make the head look bigger than it actually is. Expression should be lively with a penetrating gaze. Eyes are of medium size and oval. Fault: Protruding eyes. Colors are brown or hazel. The edges of the lids are as dark as possible within the coat color. Ears are heart-shaped, drop, and set moderately high. Fault: Ears set too high. They are medium size in proportion to the head and should be fully covered with long hair. Skull is moderately broad and slightly domed. The forehead furrow and occiput are palpable. The stop has a pronounced indentation, but never as pronounced as a round-skull breed. Fault: A round head, apple shaped head. The ratio of muzzle to skull is 1:1. A little shorter muzzle is acceptable. The topline of the muzzle is straight. Fault: Convex or concave muzzles. The jaws are strong. Teeth a full compliment of strong white teeth meet in a scissors or level bite. Nose should be large and black or brown, depending on the coat color. A pink nose or a nose partially lacking pigment should be penalized.
Neck, Topline, Body Neck is muscular and strong. It is broad, without dewlap and held horizontally when moving. Faults: Neck held too high or too narrow. The back should be neither too long or too short for proper balance and movement. Withers are well pronounced and broad. The chest is deep and broad. The topline is level. The loin is well muscled and broad. The croup is slightly cut, but only to a small degree. The belly is slightly drawn up. Tail should be short, set low and no longer than two vertebrae. It should not change the shape of the body. Tails are docked on puppies born with long or partial tails.
Forequarters The shoulders are heavily muscled, and well laid back at an angle of approximately 45°. A line drawn from the highest point of the shoulder blade to the forward point of articulation approximates a right angle with a line from the forward point of articulation to the point of the elbow. The legs are straight and vertical, with heavy bone. The pasterns are flexible without weakness. The feet are oval, thick and compact, with the front feet larger than the rear feet.
Hindquarters Large, heavily boned, and well muscled. Hocks are parallel when viewed from the rear. Fault: Cowhocks. Feet are oval with tight arched toes. Pads are hard. Nails are dark.
Coat It is doubled coated. The entire body is covered with a long, dense, shaggy, thick coat that is reasonably straight. The undercoat is soft and dense. Characteristically, long hanging hair covers the eyes. A slight wavy coat is acceptable. Faults: A curly coat, lack of undercoat and short coats. The Polish Lowland Sheepdog must be shown naturally -- no scissoring is allowed.
Color All coat colors are acceptable. The most common colors are white with either black, gray or sandy patches and gray with white, or chocolate. Most carry a dominant fading factor genetically, which results in puppies being born darker in coat color than they will appears as adults, with the exception of those puppies born white.
Gait The gait is fluid motion. He is often an ambler. With the correct shoulder angulation, he is capable of swinging his front legs forward with great reach of stride, extending out before his body in a long flat arch. The stride propels the body forward, rather than upward, with less fatigue. When viewed from the front, the legs should move parallel from the elbows to the pasterns. Toeing in is considered natural. Fault: Toeing out. The greatest source of his forward drive is derived from good rear angulation. When viewed from behind, the back legs should be parallel to each other and not too close. Fault: Close rear movement.
Temperament He is stable and self confident. He needs a dominant master and consistent training from the time he is very young. If this is not provided, he will tend to dominate the master. When not used as a herding or working dog, he can be a magnificent companion as he seems to fit into any type of lifestyle. He is extremely loyal, but somewhat aloof and suspicious of strangers. Faults: Nervous, cowardly, or extreme vicious behavior.
