The name of Welsh Kejiquan comes from the meaning of "corrci" in Welsh. There are two breeds of this kind of dog, pembroke and Cardiken. Pembroke Bikadi Ken is very famous. Although the dog is petite, it has always been loved by the upper class. From Charles I in 12 century to Queen Elizabeth II now, Welsh Kejiquan has always been a pet of the British royal family.
History: Ke Jiquan, Wales is a dog breed brought by Flanders workers in 1 107. According to its resemblance to the fox's head, some people think that this kind of dog is closely related to the ancestors of pointed-billed dogs. However, some people think that it is the mating between Swedish short-legged and long-legged dogs and indigenous dogs. With the trade between Wales and Sweden coming to Wales, the Kejiquan pembroke dog was born, which is as good at herding cattle as the Cardigan dog. Dogs can run away at breakneck speed when domestic animals whose heels are bitten are angry. 1934, pembroke and Cadigan were officially recognized as two different varieties in Britain.
Nature: valued, docile and affectionate, most suitable for children. Beware of strangers, you can be a guard dog. It has been used to herd cattle and likes to bite things everywhere. Therefore, when raising a dog, we must pay attention to overcoming this habit. This kind of dog's fur can bounce out of the water and be combed every day.
Head: The headgear is flat and wide, with moderate frontal angle, black nose and thin nose tip.
Ears: medium size, upright, slightly round.
Eyes: medium size, round and brown, in harmony with the coat. Looks like a fox's expression.
Body: Very strong, with a broad chest and a flat back.
Coat: It is of medium length and quite dense. The coat color is sable, mustard, black and brown, and some are white. Ke Jiquan's corset bib coat is not available in other varieties.
Limbs: Short, solid and strong bones.
Foot claws: oval, short claws, strong and fleshy toes, and toes are quite raised. The two fingers in the middle are longer than those outside.
Tail: natural short tail is popular, otherwise it will be broken.
Height: 25 ~ 3 1cm
Welsh, pembroke
Pembroke Welsh Ke Jiquan has conquered many pet lovers all over the world with its unique temperament, and is still deeply loved by the British royal family, ranking among the top three Japanese favorite dog breeds for many years.
1, simple care. Welsh Ke Jiquan is a short-haired dog, which is convenient for outdoor activities. Even the participating dogs just cut their beards and soles, so they don't have to spend a lot of money on beauty every year like other dogs. Because there is no body odor in this variety, simply comb it once a day and wash it once a month.
2. It is better to move than to be quiet. Ke Jiquan is an energetic little working dog. Its speed, endurance and sports skills in outdoor activities have to make people believe that this guy was once used to herd cattle. However, in family life, it is extremely rational. As an adult, it rarely jumps up and down at home, rummaging through everything, and always adheres to the great belief of "putting limited life into unlimited outdoor sports".
3. Brilliant. It is said that the eyes are the windows to the soul. If you look into the eyes of a Welsh Ke Jiquan, you won't have any doubt about its high IQ. In childhood, Welsh Corky was able to understand some simple passwords in a short time. In adulthood, his obedience and judgment were even more amazing. Although Welsh Ke Jiquan does not have gorgeous appearance and proud height, its overall effect is quite competitive after being combined with familiar parts of other varieties. A comprehensive survey of 100 families with Welsh corky rights was conducted abroad, and one of them was "Why do you like it?" The answer is very interesting: some people like personality, some people like brains, some people like short legs ... but surprisingly, nearly 60% families like its big round ass.
4. Obey the law. With its unique style of "only looking at the length, not the height", this British product with a head as big as a German shepherd has obtained the legal residence qualification in Chinese mainland (the dog-raising regulations in most cities prohibit dogs with a shoulder height of more than 35 cm), and can fly on the socialist road aboveboard.

Dog experts have made great efforts to revive this breed and keep its number rising. 1948 Swedish Dog Owners Club recognized it. 1964, the Swedes renamed it "Vasgotaspets" and now it is widely distributed in Sweden. Swedes believe that it is the ancestor of European country Kejiquan, but this statement has caused widespread controversy. Whether it is Ke Jiquan's ancestor or descendant is still inconclusive.

Ke Jiquan of Cadigan, Wales, also known as the tail bantam, is the earliest of the two bantam breeds and the first dog breed to live on the English island (this brief historical data was collected by Lloyd Somas of Cadigan, South Wales more than 20 years ago).
At first, short-legged dogs entered Cadigan County from Central Europe, where tall, brown-haired Celts lived. This military-minded tribe moved to Wales around 1200, which means that bantam has been famous for its birthplace for more than 3000 years. This breed belongs to the same lineage as the German dachshund.
Brunate Village, located in the middle of Cadigan County, is a special residence of the early Celts. The vigilance and wisdom of the short-legged dog is a great recommendation to the Celtics. This statement has been passed down from generation to generation, making this dog a valuable member of the family. This kind of versatile dog can at least protect children and drive away prey, which is also the most important feature.
However, a long time later (but hundreds of years ago), this professional feature of Welsh bantam chicken is as precious as gold and silver to Welsh mountain residents. During this period, the land was almost entirely owned by the king, and tenant farmers or small tenant farmers were only allowed to enclose a small piece of land around their yard. The rest is open land, not public land. Tenants of small farms can graze here, which is also the main source of their meager income. As you can imagine, in order to protect the pasture as much as possible, the competition among tenant farmers is great. Without the help of Welsh bantam, this task is difficult to complete. This kind of puppy has been with Celtic for a long time. They are very smart and can be trained to do some jobs contrary to sheepdogs.
Welsh bantam dogs bite the heels of animals and try to disperse them instead of gathering animals. Tenants often let their dogs drive out their neighbors' cattle and sheep. In any case, dogs work the same way. Tenants will stand in front of the door and blow two continuous whistles, one louder and the other lower. Sometimes the dog can't see the cow it is chasing, but as long as it can hear the owner's whistle, it will continue to drive the cow away. Its speed is noteworthy because its legs are short and its claws rotate outward, but the length of its back increases the vitality of running. When dogs bite the heels of animals to disperse them,
The tenant will give a return signal (when he puts his finger in his mouth, he will give a long sharp whistle). Of course, when an animal kicks a dog, the dog will bend down on the ground to avoid being kicked to death.
With the division of national land and the subsequent sale of land and fences to tenants, some practicality of short-legged dogs disappeared, but it is still a watchdog and companion dog for some mountain residents, but for most people, it is an unaffordable consumer product. In most cases, red sheepdogs and striped sheepdogs appear after this dog. Prototypes of known ancient short-legged dogs living in Brunate are now very rare, mainly because they are very concerned about the preserved breeds with ancient ancestry.
Needless to say, the Celts and the early Welsh, descendants of these ancient tribes who advocated force, did not know the book of genealogical records. But if there is no historical record, there will be no strict variety selection policy that cannot be compared with today. The short-legged dog is a good worker ant and will not consider mating if it is immature.
With the decomposition of national land and the introduction of new breeds, this dog has carried out a series of crossbreeding with other dogs. Brunate's ancient breed crossed with the red shepherd, but several attempts failed. Crossbreeding with striped sheepdog is more successful. The hybrid offspring show the remarkable characteristics of short-legged dogs, and only inherit a small amount of high-quality fur and the color of striped sheepdog. And then crossed with Cory to produce the short-legged dog we know today.
Today, the main pedigree of Welsh Ke Jiquan can be traced back to the old Brunate short-legged dog and striped sheepdog. This dog was very popular in Cadigan almost more than a century ago.
At that time, two short-legged dogs were considered as two different types of the same breed. It was not until 1934 that Britain officially stipulated that these two short-legged dogs were two completely different breeds. Before this, the two varieties have crossed to a certain extent, which brings difficulties to the classification of the two varieties. Of the1934,250 Welsh puppies, only 59 are registered as Kejiquan. At that time, it was thought that Ke Jiquan had different forms. This species is almost extinct in Wales.
1931July, Mr. Robert Bohr of Boston introduced the first Kejiquan to the United States. 1935, which was registered by the pet club.
Variety standard
The overall appearance of the chest is deep and the bone center of gravity is low. Viewed from the side, the body is long and the tail hangs like a fox's tail. General expression-handsome, strong, smart and lively, excellent speed endurance, small dog, strong but not rough.
The overall balance of body shape, proportion and structure is much more important than the simple body shape. When standing normally, the height is 26.8 cm. The length is measured from sternum to ischial tubercle, and the height is measured from the highest point of scapula to the ground. The ideal aspect ratio is 1.8: 1. The ideal weight of male dogs should be between13.61~17.24 kg; Bitches are between11.34-15.42kg .. They lack balance, and too large or too small will affect the quality of dogs.
The head of the head dog conforms to the gender and noumenon of the dog and looks elegant and exquisite. It is neither too big nor too heavy, nor too small nor too beautiful, but it is in proportion to the rest of the body. Look alert and gentle, alert, but also friendly. The eyes are of medium size, not swollen, with dark edges, clear corners of eyes and large eye distance. The eyes are clear black, which is in harmony with the color of the coat. Blue-gray varieties are also allowed to have blue eyes or a blue eye and a black eye. If this happens to other breeds of dogs, it is an unqualified dog. Compared with the body, the ears are bigger and more prominent. Ears are a little round,
The drooping part is hard. The base is slightly wider. When alert, the ears stand upright and lean forward slightly. Draw a center line from the tip of the nose to the eyes. When the ear is upright, the tip of the ear is a little far from the midline. Small ears or pointed ears will seriously affect the quality of dogs. Dogs with drooping ears are not qualified.
Skull-the skull is quite wide and flat between the ears, and the occipital bone is not prominent. Nitrile gradually becomes thinner from occipital bone to eyes. There is a slight depression between the eyes. The cheeks are flat, and the lower part of the eyes and the joint between the front face and the cheeks are well defined. The cheekbones are not prominent. The length of the snout from the tip of the nose to the base of the frontal apex depression should be shorter than the ratio of the base of the frontal apex depression to the highest point of the occipital bone, and the proportional relationship between them should be the length of the snout in 3 parts to the length of the skull in 5 parts. The nose and mouth are round but not blunt; Tapered but not pointed. Viewed from the side, the plane of the snout is parallel to the plane of the skull, but the snout is concave because of the moderate well-defined forehead and nose tip.
Yes, its plane is slightly lower than that of the skull.
The nose is black, the nose of a blue-gray dog is preferably black, and the nose of a butterfly is also allowed. The nose is not black, and any dog with a nose of other colors is an unqualified dog. Lips are clean and flat. The chin is hard and neat. The mandible is moderate in depth and beautiful in shape, extending to the nasal root and slightly rounded at the mandible. The teeth are hard and neat. It is best to have scissors bite, that is, the inner surface of the upper teeth is closely meshed with the outer surface of the lower teeth. Keywords maxillary protrusion, mandibular protrusion,
The neck, dorsal line and trunk neck are quite long, muscular and not hoarse. The neck of a male dog is particularly developed, which is proportional to the body structure. The neck is located on a strong, well-defined shoulder. The topline is horizontal, long and strong. The chest is quite wide and the sternum protrudes. The chest is deep, elastic and expandable enough to accommodate the heart and lungs, slightly oval. The waist is short, strong and a little curled. The waist is well defined. The hips are slightly tilted back, down to the tail.
The tail is lower than the midline of the body and can be touched below the tarsal joint. When standing or walking slowly, the tail is very low. When running suddenly, the tail sticks out parallel to the ground. When excited, the tail sticks up, but it doesn't curl forward and extend to the back. High tail position will seriously affect the quality of dogs.
The forearm is moderately wide in the chest, located between the two forearms, and gradually tapers to the sternum. The shoulder is inclined downward and outward from the shoulder ridge, and the space formed by it is enough to accommodate the elastic ribs. The scapula is long and backward, at right angles to the upper limb bone. The humerus is almost as long as the scapula, and the elbow is well connected, neither too tight nor too loose. The forearm should be slightly bent to accommodate the elastic ribs. The bending of the forearm brings the wrist joint closer to the elbow joint. The cuboid bone is strong and elastic. The upper jaw should be removed.
The claws are long and round, and the pads fill the whole sole. And in order to balance the width of claws and shoulders, claws are slightly everted. The eversion angle when looking down should not exceed 30. Toes should not be spread out.
The correct shape of Ke Jiquan's forequarters can neither be straight nor curved, otherwise it will be unstable. Generally speaking, this type of dog has heavy bones, but it should not appear rough or reduce agility. Protruding forequarters, being too straight and being in the shape of a violin are all serious defects.
The hindquarters are muscular and strong, but slightly narrower than the shoulders. The hip bone inclines to the lower back of the hip and is at right angles to the femur at the kneecap. There should be an appropriate angle between the knee joint and the tarsal joint. The Tatar joint droops well. Metatarsal bones are parallel to each other and perpendicular to the ground. The upper jaw should be removed. The claw extends straight forward, slightly smaller than the front claw, and is oval. Toes arched. The foot pad fills the whole sole.
Generally speaking, the hindquarters must have enough strength to push this low and relatively heavy sheepdog to cross the uneven ground very effectively.
The coat is moderate in length, but thick. The outer coat is rough and should not be stiff, curly or silky. The coat is smooth and can withstand various climatic conditions. The villous layer is short, soft and dense, and isolated from the outside world. The coat of ears, head and legs should be slightly shorter; The coat of the body is of medium length: the coat of the neck, thigh and abdomen and under the tail should be slightly longer and thicker. Don't exaggerate the overall coat, it looks particularly fluffy. The fur of this breed is easy to fall off, and the fluff layer is prone to fall off seasonally. If the fluff is healthy, it is not considered a defect. Dogs should be in nature.
It is not allowed to trim the coat except the feet and the tentacles. Soft coat, uniform length, stiff, curly, silky, short and flat coat are not the characteristics we want. Too long or too fluffy coat will seriously affect the quality of dogs.
Various shades of red, mink and striped colors; Black and blue-gray with or without tawny or mottled spots are allowed colors, and there is no preferred color. The neck, chest, legs, nose and mouth, lower body and the tip of tail have flashing white, which is usually used as the white line of the head. The white color of the head should not be particularly prominent, let alone around the eyes. In any body color, if white is the dominant dog, it is not up to standard.
Gait gait is free and smooth, effortless. From one side, the forelimbs stretch freely when trotting, and do not lift too high, which is in harmony with the driving action of the hindquarters. Proper shoulder device and elbow movement can make the dog stride forward freely. From the front, when walking, the limbs are not on a parallel plane, but slightly retracted to make up for the shortcomings of short legs and wide chest. When trotting, the hind legs are free to extend and in line with the forelimbs, which makes the movement run continuously and forcefully. The tarsal joints are neither adducted nor everted, which is higher than the tail position. The movement of claws is parallel to the movement route and cannot be left and right.
Swing, cross and interfere with each other. Inconsistent short movements, body swinging or walking with legs lifted high, and gait that is too tight or too open when walking back and forth are all incorrect gaits. This kind of shepherd dog must be agile, free and have endurance for work.
Personality This kind of dog is calm, loyal, friendly and friendly to people. Neither timid nor cruel.
