Betty Loh Ti" and the large breed is called "Keli" Shepherd. Their working dog status is the same as
. However, if Hilti is all reduced in the original proportion of Keli Shepherd, for example, her eyes are also reduced in the ratio of height to size, it will destroy the sense of balance of the whole group. In addition, for example,
the bones will become very thin, which is in harmony with the Hilti standard (sound and agile, uniform in appearance
, and each part is in harmony with the whole). ] has violated. On the other hand, if
Hilti is enlarged to the proportion of beauty, it will be too dull and thick, which does not conform to the standard of beauty at all:
Beauty is the expression of leaping life, that is, a reasonable proportion, all of which balance the aesthetic feeling, and at the same time, its appearance, body parts, expressions, personality and manners are all integrated in the beauty display.
1. Differences in body shape
Although there are differences in size and body shape between Keli and Xileti, there are still some differences in individual comparison.
Keli Xileti
The male dog is 61 ~ 66cm tall and the female dog is 56 ~ 61cm tall (according to the sheepdog standard in American and Japanese examiners' manuals). The body shape is balanced and harmonious, and it is not optimistic that the body height should be between 33 ~ 41cm if it is too fat or too thin. On the field, we attach great importance to body shape. If we exceed or fall short of this range, we will be disqualified.
head and forehead standard (Stop) 2.4 in the right picture is Heleti 1.3 is Keli's head lightly attached to the body, showing the beautiful facial expression of the sheepdog. The upper edges of the head cover and muzzle are equal in length and parallel from the side, and there is an obvious forehead between them. Hiletti: The skull is as long as the muzzle, and the center of gravity is the angle inside the eyes. The upper line of the skull must be parallel to the upper line of the muzzle. Because of the obvious frontal segment, The line on the upper part of the head cover is on the upper side than the line on the muzzle
The color standard is divided into brown and white (Sable andWhite), marble (blue merle), Tri- color and white (Sable andWhite), marble (blue merle), Tri- color and black and white (bicolor).
In particular, it is still recognized that the color of Keli's surface is more than three quarters white, but if the color of Xileti's surface is more than half white, it will be disqualified in the competition.
Second, differences in personality
In addition to having more obvious forehead and smaller body than Keli, Xileti also has different characteristics in personality. At first, Xileti will treat strangers or other animals with a
reserved attitude. After getting along with the owner for a long time, it will be quite cordial and loyal,
and sensitive to emotions. In addition, it also has the defensive instinct and vigilance unique to small dogs. Of course, personality will also be influenced by the owner's discipline and living environment. Keli, on the other hand, is a dog breed with unique charm because of its large size, large hair, elegant appearance < P > and very gentle personality. Once it is raised, it will often make the dog owner unforgettable. Whether it is for children or the elderly, Keli is extremely friendly,
exudes an elegant affinity temperament, but she is quite curious and pays great attention to everything
, and is full of courage and intelligence in dealing with things around her, so she is the best protection dog for small animals and children
.
Third, the athletic ability is equally divided.
Both Xileti and Keli are rich in athletic ability and endurance. Their ancestors can run 16
kilometers a day, and they have super physical strength to engage in shepherd work, and they are unique breeds who still can't see fatigue after running for a long time. This is also the reason why shepherd dogs have always been valued. The gait characteristics of Xile
and Keli walking and running are different from those of other breeds. They can promote the single-track walk in a balanced and urgent way. When running fast, the right front foot steps out in a straight line, and the left front foot
steps out in a big stride. Then when the left front foot leaves the ground, the left rear foot will land at its
position. Therefore, the footprints appear in two and two, and gallop vertically and horizontally on the big Yuan Ye. In addition, the quick spin step can also
keep the center of gravity of the body without losing alertness, while the long tail covered with rich hair can also
keep the overall balance, just like the square rudder and brakes, even in a narrow field or with many obstacles
, it will not lose the balance
regardless of climbing or taking an emergency road. There is not much difference in actual athletic ability between Xileti and Keli, but Xileti has more margin in jumping
. In addition, Xileti's instantaneous explosive force and turning force are better than Keli's
, while the long-distance race walking is more advantageous for Keli, but the athletic ability
is also closely related to the correct bone structure, muscle elasticity, reflex status and
daily feeding management.
IV. Hearing characteristics of Xileti
Dogs' sense of smell is tens of thousands of times that of human beings. Among its five senses, sense of smell and hearing
are particularly excellent, while vision tends to be color-blind and nearsighted, and taste and touch
are inferior to human beings. These five senses will be different due to individual differences, living environment and so on < P >. The difference between Xileti and Keli probably lies in hearing with antenna function < P >! Most small dogs have sensitive auditory reflex < P > nerves in order to protect their small bodies. Xileti also has the unique instinct and nature of small dogs, and its hearing is quite developed < P >. Because of its proper size, it is often trained as a hearing guide dog. Keli, on the other hand, sticks to her original style, and
is good at judging things and is conducive to quick action.
5. There is a knack for distinguishing puppies
For outsiders, when they meet Hilti and Keli, the colors are almost the same, which is not easy to distinguish
. However, no matter how similar the dog breeds are, there will be differences in color and body shape, just like people also have different shapes.
It's hard to tell the difference between Cory and Herodias when they are just two or three weeks old.
The biggest difference between Xileti and Keli lies in their body shape, while the
white hairs on the collar, chest and tail end have the same characteristics. Therefore, puppies of two or three weeks old are very similar < P >. To distinguish a puppy as Hilti or Keli, you can start with the following nuances
. The head and body shape are the main distinguishing factors:
the ears of Xiletikeli
the puppies are upright or semi-straight, and the ears of the standing-ear puppies are almost completely collapsed on their heads
the temperament seems smart and simple
the forehead is obviously flat
the muzzle is thinner, the tip is thicker and wider
the skeleton is smaller and thicker
the call is tender and brighter. At the age of 3 months, Keli puppies are almost as big as Hileti adult dogs at the age of 3 months. < P > After one or two months of growth, they will have different changes in face, body shape and movements, and the differences between Hileti and Keli will become more and more obvious.
6. There are also differences in food intake
The dog's body is composed of bones, muscles, adipose tissues, organs, blood, nerves, skin, and
coat, etc., and protein, fat, carbohydrate
compounds, inorganic substances, and water are needed to maintain normal function. Due to the supplement of these nutrients, new tissues in the body can be developed. Therefore, proper nutrition is extremely important for collie shepherd < P > dogs and Xileti. The dog breed standard of Xileti has the same height as that of male and female dogs, and the weight is in accordance with the body shape, ranging from 6 to 1 kg < P >. The weight of Keli male dog is 27 to 34 kg, and that of female dog is 23 to 29 kg. Herodias is an adult dog when it is about 16
months old, and Collie is an adult dog when it is about 2 months old. Compared with the weight when it was born, Herodias is about 4 times heavier, and Collie is about 8
and 1 times heavier. Therefore, it is necessary to have a correct understanding of the necessary food intake, exercise, and digestive ability according to the season and individual < P >. With the growth of puppies, the food intake < P > should be increased appropriately. At the age of four months, Xileti needs the same calorie intake as that of adult dogs < P >, and at the age of six months, the intake is the highest, about 3% more than that of adult dogs. Keli
needs a dog-like calorie intake at the age of three and a half months, and reaches the highest intake at the age of nine months, which is about 4% more than that of an adult dog. Generally speaking, Xileti needs to consume
742 calories a day. If 1 grams of food is equivalent to 4 calories, it needs to consume about
185 grams of food. Keli's basic physical energy consumption is 1692 calories, which means that it needs to consume < P > 432 grams of food a day.
