Galvais Dog (Definite Introduction )
The ideal height at the withers for males should be approximately 28-30 inches and for females 26-28 inches. The ideal body weight of a Gweisian should be approximately 100-115 pounds for a male and 70 to 90 pounds for a female. The dog's body weight and shoulder height should be evaluated with reference to this data. Anyone higher or lower than this data will be disqualified.
Morphological characteristics
The dog's body appears to be rectangular, but its height is slightly smaller than its length, and the matching of bones and body is just perfect. The bones of the Gowes are extremely brittle and thick, but not clumsy. Disadvantages: weak bones and insufficient bone mass.
Head
The Corvois dog is very beautiful, and naturally the most critical thing is still the head. A little less than 1/2 of the shoulder height is the length of the head (between the nose and occipital bone), and 1/2 of the head length is the width of the head.
Eyes: The eyes of the Gowes dog are very similar to almonds; the distance between the two eyes is slightly far apart and in a skewed state; the eyes are above the muzzle; it has extremely tight eyelids and the nictitating membrane cannot be seen; the Gowes dog has The eyes of the Sri Lankan dog are dark brown, and the darker the eyes, the more standard it is.
Ears: The Gowes dog has a pair of V-shaped ears, with the tops of the ears somewhat rounded; its ears are long and far back, located in the middle of the eyes and the top of the head. If you pull the tips of your ears forward, you can completely block your eyes. Looking back at the Cortex Dog, the widest part of the ears is at the same level as the eyes. The inner edge of the ear is close to the cheek, while the outer edge of the ear is somewhat separated from the head, and it looks like a V-shape. When relaxed, the ears are set evenly, not turned back, and are shorter than the head.
Head: The Gowes dog has a long head, but it does not look pointed. It has a very clear stop and does not appear stiff in appearance. Its forehead is raised and gradually higher than the breath. . The midline (longitudinal) on the forehead is very obvious and clear, and it becomes narrower and narrower from the tone to the forehead. The Gowes has exceptionally smooth cheeks and arched brow bones. Its skin texture gives people an extra tight feeling.
Muzzle: The length of the Corvis's muzzle is in a very appropriate ratio to the head. It has a very straight upper surface, but not pointed. It also has a very prosperous lower jaw.The standard color inside the mouth is black.
Nose: The nose of the Gowes dog is large and black, and the nostrils are not closed, but open.
Lips: Its lips cover all the teeth and are black. The lower lip is firmly covered by the upper lip, and the upper lip does not droop excessively. It has a tight lower lip that does not droop well.
Bite: The teeth of the Gowes dog are very complete and will not appear to be missing teeth. Its bite is pincer-shaped and the standard shape is scissors-shaped. Disqualification: If the upper and lower jaw bite exceeds the limit, it will be disqualified.
Neck
The muscle structure of the Gowes dog is very developed, and there will be no signs of obesity or fat. The neck is flat and the upper part is arched.
Tail
The Gowes tail is droopy and its length always extends (very naturally) to the hock. The tail should stop hanging on the back of the body, and the tail end should be slightly raised forward, indicating a resting state). The tail is raised high to the waist, and the tip of the tail is slightly curled to indicate excitement). The most standard situation is that there is no obvious difference in the posture of the Galway's tail whether it is resting or excited.
Forequarters
The shoulders of the Gowes dog are particularly muscular and relatively long. Topline: The back of the Galway is not as high as the withers. The upper arm forms a right angle with the shoulder blade and is very long. The elbows do not bend inward or turn toward the surface. Its legs have moderate bone mass. The legs are not only very straight, but also have very strong muscles. The legs are exceptionally well constructed. The forelimbs have dewclaws, which cannot be removed.
Paws: The Gowes dog has very developed black pads, which are very elastic. The claws are like cat feet, round and very tight. There is hair between the toes, and the standard Cortex has less hair; the color of the standard toenails is dark.
Back: The Gowes dog has an extraordinarily broad back, the length is flat, extraordinarily hard, thick and very straight. Its waist has a very developed muscle structure. Although it is short, it is very tight. The buttocks also have particularly strong muscles, but they are slightly skewed. The surface of its front chest is particularly noticeable. Viewed from the side, the chest is further forward than the shoulders, a bit over. It has a very deep chest, and the ribs are very flexible, and the depth can reach the elbow. The bottom of its chest is extremely deep and parallel to the earth.
Hindquarters
The Corvois has a moderately long hip joint, the upper part of the thigh is very wide and long, and has extremely developed and thick muscles. It has very long thigh bones, and the stifle joints have a very suitable angle; the lower part of its thigh is very long and has well-developed muscles, but it is a little dry. Its metatarsals are exceptionally strong, extremely short, yet very wide. If the hind limbs have dewclaws, they are completely different from the forelimbs and must be removed. The structure of the claws is connected with the forelimbs, butThe soles of the hind limbs are larger than the forelimbs.
Coat
The coat of the Gowes dog is double-layered, consisting of: outer coat and undercoat (exceptionally soft). The hair is moderately coarse. There are many types of coats, ranging from standard wavy coats to straight coats. Its hair is distributed according to the parts of the body, and the type of hair has little to do with the distribution. The Gowes dog has very short but very smooth hair, which is mainly distributed on the head, ears, muzzle and paws. The mane on the neck always spreads to the chest and covers it. There are very short, but very smooth hairs on the front of its forelimbs, the area above the elbow, and the area on the hind legs below the thigh. There is a feather (2 to 3 inches long) on the back of the forelegs from the point between the ankles. The long, light hair covers the sides and thighs of the body, with 4 to 6 inches of fur on the thighs and entire tail. When the Gowes dog has a normal body, it will remove most of the long hair on its body during the hot season. During the cold season, the thick and rich coat will grow back.
Color
The Gowis dog is white, and its skin is very rich in pigment. The best skin color is dark blue-gray or black.
Gait
The gait of the Corweis dog is exceptionally brisk, free, stretched, and extremely elastic. The paws are very close to the ground, and the extension of the hind limbs can be seen under the body. Its footprints are as follows: the footprints of the hind feet coincide with or intersect with the footprints of the front feet. Viewed from the back, the forelimbs are not parallel to each other, and the footholds of the feet are closer to each other. Viewed from the back, the foothold of the hind legs (below the buttocks) is also closer. As it speeds up, the legs move more obviously toward the center line of the body until the footprints form a straight line. When the dog is not in an agitated condition, the head should not be higher from the ground than the withers. If its gait is not very standard, it is because the angle is not correct, the body is not thick, or the body is uneven.
