Sekcija 2.1: molosi mastinskega tipa brez delovnih preizkušenj

KRATEK ZGODOVINSKI POVZETEK:

Ta kitajska pasma je obstajala že stoletja v provincah ob obalah južnega kitajskega morja.
Najverjetneje izvira iz mesta Dialak v provinci Kwun Tung.

SPLOŠNI VIDEZ:

Aktiven, kompakten, kratkega trupa in kvadratične postave, srednje velik pes. Gube po
čelu in plečih, majhni uhlji in povodnemu konju podobna glava, ki mu daje značilen videz.

POMEMBNI PROPORCI:

Višina (od pleč do tal) šar peja je približno enaka dolžini telesa (od točke ramen do točke
zadnjice), še posebno pri psu. Dolžina od nosu do stopa (čelno kolence) je približno enaka dolžini od stopa do zadnjega dela lobanje.

VEDENJE/ZNAČAJ:

Miren, neodvisen, zvest, vdan svoji družini.

GLAVA: Precej večja v razmerju do telesa. Gube na čelu in licih se nadaljujejo v ohlapno kožo pod
vratom.

LOBANJSKI DEL GLAVE:

Čelo: ravno, široko.

Stop: zmeren.

OBRAZNI DEL GLAVE:

Smrček: velik in širok, zaželena je črna barva, vendar so dovoljene barve, ki ustrezajo splošni
barvi kožuha. Nosnice so široko odprte.

Gobec je značilna posebnost pasme. Širok od začetka do vrha smrčka brez ožanja proti koncu. Ustne in vrh gobca so mesnate. Izboklina na koncu smrčka je dovoljena.

Ustne: modro obarvan jezik in notranjost ustne votline. Roza pikčast jezik je dopusten.
Popolnoma roza jezik je zelo nezaželen. Pri samoobarvanih psih je jezik svetlo vijoličast.

Čeljust/zobovje: čeljusti so močne s popolnim škarjastim ugrizom, zgornji zobje prekrivajo
spodnje in so v tesnem stiku. Spodnja ustna ne sme biti prekomerno mesnata, saj s tem onemogoča pravilen ugriz.

Oči: temne, mandljeve oblike z mrkim izrazom. Svetlejša barva dopustna pri samoobarvanih
psih. Dlaka, gube ali koža okoli oči ne smejo ovirati funkcije zrkla ali veke.
Vsakršno draženje zrkla, veznice ali vek je zelo nezaželeno. Brez entropije.

Uhlji: zelo majhni, precej debeli, enakostranične trikotne oblike, na vrhu rahlo zaokroženi
in nastavljeni visoko na čelu. Pokončna ušesa zelo nezaželena.

VRAT

Srednje dolg, dobro nastavljen na ramena. Ohlapna koža pod vratom ne sme biti prekomerna.

TRUP

Kožne gube na telesu pri zrelih psih zelo nezaželene, izjemoma na ramenih in korenu repa, kjer je gubanje zmerno.

Hrbtna linija: rahlo pade za rameni, zatem se rahlo dvigne v ledvenem delu.

Hrbet: kratek, močan

Ledja: kratka, široka, rahlo obokana.

Križec: precej raven.

Prsni koš: širok in globok, sega do komolcev.

Spodnja linija se rahlo dvigne pod ledji.

REP

Debel in okrogel v korenu, proti koncu se oži. Nasajen je zelo visoko, tipična značilnost pasme.
Lahko je nošen visoko in upognjen, lahko je zavit, lahko pa je upognjen na katerokoli stran hrbta. Manjkajoč ali nepopoln rep je zelo nezaželen.

OKONČINE

PREDNJE NOGE: ravne, zmerno dolge z močnim okostjem. Koža na prednjih nogah je brez gub.

Ramena: mišičasta, dobro nastavljena in nagnjena.

Šapa: rahlo strma, močna in upogljiva.

ZADNJE NOGE: mišičaste, močne, zmerno okotene, pravokotne s tlemi in gledano od zadaj vzporedne. Gube na zgornjem in spodnjem predelu stegen, zadnji strani šap in odebeljena koža okoli skočnega sklepa so nezaželene.

Skočni sklep: petnica kratka

STOPALA: zmerne velikosti, kompaktna, sklenjena. Prsti dobro členkasti.

Zadnje noge so brez slednikov.

HOJA/GIBANJE:

Zaželena je hoja v drncu. Hoja je svobodna, uravnotežena, aktivna z dolgim sprednjim in močnim
zadnjim korakom. Stopala težijo k zbliževanju proti sredini, ko se poveča hitrost. Okorna hoja nezaželena.

DLAKA: značilna posebnost pasme: kratka, trda in ščetinasta. Je ravna in štrleča, običajno
priležena na udih. Brez podlanke. Kožuh lahko variira v dolžini od 1 cm do 2,5 cm. Nikoli triman.

BARVA: vse homogene barve so dovoljene, razen bele. Rep in zadnji del stegen sta pogosto svetlejša. Temnejši odtenki vzdolž hrbta in na ušesih so dopustni.

VELIKOST:
Plečna višina: 44-51 cm (17,5-20 inčev)

NAPAKE:
Vsako odstopanje od naštetih značilnosti se obravnava kot napaka in mora biti obravnavano v
sorazmerju s stopnjo odstopanja.

Standard of the Hong-Kong Kennel Club

This description is attributed to Matgo Law, Hong Kong, B.C.C, 1973. It is recognized by the Hong Kong. It is published in the Chinese Shar-Pei Stud book Registry, consolodated supplemental material, volumes 1-2-3, 1976- 1982.

GENERAL APPEARANCE

An active, compact short-coupled dog who stands firm on the ground with the stature of a warrior.

HEAD AND SKULL

Skull flat and broad, rather large in proportion with the rest of the body. Profuse and fine wrinkles appear on the forehad and cheek and continue to form the heavy dewlaps. The muzzle is moderately long and broad from the eyes to the point of the nose without any sugggestion of tapering but rather in the mouth shape of a hippopotamus.

NOSE

Black, large and wide, occasionally there are cream-colered dogs with light-colored nose and a light-fawn dog with a self colored nose, but a black nose is preferable.

EYES

Dark, small, almond-shaped and sunken (a light color is found in cream and fawn-colored dogs). The sunken small eyes are advantageous in dog fighting to reduce injuries to the eyes.

MOUTH

Teeth strong and level, giving a scissor bite. The canine teeth are somewhat curved, which increases the difficulty of freeing the grip. Tongue is bluish black. Flews and roof of mouth black. Gums preferabley black.

EARS

Small, thick, equilateral and triangular in shape and slightly rounded at the tip, set well over the eyes and wide apart. In contrast to the Chow, the ears should set tightly to the skull and be as small as possible. This minimizes his opponent's chances of getting a good grip on his ears. Some of these dogs have ears so small they are about the size of a thumb nail.

NECK

Strong, full, set well on the shoulders with heavy folding skin and abundant dewlaps.

FOREQUARTERS

Shoulders muscular and sloping. Forelegs straight with moderate length and good bones.

BODY

Chest broad and deep, back short; the lowest part of the back-line is just behind the withers and rises to the loin. It is similar to the Bulldog but not as sunken as the latter. As with the wrinkles and dewlaps, there is a lot of skin folding on the body. this abundance of loose skin allows the dog to turn and attack when gripped by his opponent.

HINDQUARTERS

Hindlegs muscular and strong, hocks slightly bent and well let down, giving length and strength from loin to hock.

FEET

Moderate in size, compact and firmly set, toes well split up with high knuckles, giving a firm stand.

TAIL

Thick and round at the base and evenly tapering to a fine point. There are three ways of carrying the tail; most desirable is the type set on top and and curled tightly over to one side. Some are curled so tightly they are in the shape of a small ringlet, the size of a large China coin. The second type is curled in a loose ring. The third is carried high in a curve, not touching the back. This allows a dog to wiggle in a happier and more eager fashion. No matter what, the tail should be set high on the loin, showing the anus. The demand for a curling tight tail is obvious--in fights the tail between the legs is a sign of defeat.

COLOR

Whole colors such as black, fawn, light fawn and cream, frequently shaded; for example, the underpart of tail and back of thighs of a lighter color. These shadings should not be in patches or parti-colored.

WEIGHT AND SIZE

Around 18 and 20 inches at the withers, weighing 40 to 50 lbs. As in most breeds, the dog is heavier than the bitch and more squarely built.

FAULTS

Spotted tongue; tail carried horizontally or covering the anus; a flat, long shining coat; tapering muzzles like a fox.
