New Fci Whippet Standard

Newly updated whippet standard, I don't know why is it only in French on FCI site. Could anyone explain me please what are the changes about? They are in bold. Looks like aggressive and coward behaviour will be disqualified, smth about eyes colour, movements... what else? :blink: I understand only several words from it :b , and e-translator makes it even worse.

Here it is:

Standard FCI N° 162 / 14. 05. 2007 / F

CLASSIFICATION F.C.I. : Groupe 10 Lévriers.

Section 3 Lévriers à poil court.

Sans épreuve de travail.

La truffe partiellement dépigmentée n’est permise que chez les chiens blancs ou panachés mais la truffe complètement dépigmentée n’est pas admise.

Mâchoires/dents : Fortes, puissantes, nettement dessinées, offrant un articulé en ciseaux parfait, régulier et complet, c’est-à-dire que les incisives supérieures recouvrent les inférieures dans un contact étroit et sont implantées bien d’équerre par rapport aux mâchoires.

Yeux : Ovales, brillants, d’expression très vive.

Oreilles : En rose, petites, de texture fine.

COU : Long, musclé, avec une élégante arcure.

CORPS :

Les antérieurs doivent être lancés bien en avant, au ras du sol. Les membres postérieurs s’engagent bien sous le corps pour donner une impulsion énergique et puissante.

is that for specific international shows in Dublin? or all IKC shows??

I started reading from the bottom up, fearful and aggressive dogs (or owners?!) will be disqualified. The heights in cm are about the same as our ideal heights in inches.

Hi,

I am French and if you give me the English text I will be able to do a translation.

You are saying that the changes are in bold, could I see the old text (in French) so I can apreciate the differences.

I don't have old standard in French as it was in English! I don't understand WHY this time it's in French :blink:

I think the main things that have been changed are these:

REGION FACIALE :

Truffe : Noire, chez les chiens à robe bleue, truffe de couleur bleuâtre. Chez les chiens à robe marron (foie), truffe de la même couleur. Chez les chiens à robe isabelle, crème ou une autre couleur diluée, truffe de n’importe quelle couleur sauf rose.

CORPS :

Ligne du dessus : Présente une gracieuse arcure au niveau du rein mais le chien n’est pas bossu.

Dos : Large, bien musclé, ferme, plutôt long.

Rein : Donne une impression de force et de puissance.

Poitrine : Très haute, très éclatée au niveau du cœur ; carène sternale bien descendue et bien dessinée. Côtes bien cintrées, musclées à la jonction du dos.

Ventre : Nettement remonté.

ALLURES : Allures parfaitement dégagées. Vu de profil, le chien se déplace en longues enjambées faciles, sans déplacement important de la ligne du dessus. Les antérieurs doivent être lancés bien en avant, au ras du sol. Les membres postérieurs s’engagent bien sous le corps pour donner une impulsion énergique et puissante. Dans son ensemble, le mouvement ne doit pas être guindé ni relevé, réduit ou raccourci. Allure fanche, que le chien soit vu de devant ou de derrière.

DEFAUTS ELIMINATOIRES :

• Chien agressif ou peureux.

All the rest should be the same as it was in the previous standard which was in English. Yes, and the question, which interested many people - height, stayed the same

[SIZE=14pt]It still seems to think that we have liver coloured whippets and you can therefore have a nose of that colour to match. In dilutes it doesn't matter what the colour is as long as it is not PINK! Oh La la![/SIZE]

Truffe : Noire, chez les chiens à robe bleue, truffe de couleur bleuâtre. Chez les chiens à robe marron (foie), truffe de la même couleur. Chez les chiens à robe isabelle, crème ou une autre couleur diluée, truffe de n’importe quelle couleur sauf rose.

[SIZE=14pt][/SIZE]

and that's enough french for me as I've spent the last TWO days revising my son for his GCSE french listening...over to someone else for the rest and can someone else please find a picture of a liver whippet or I will be obliged to make one in Photoshop.

Hello,

I just gave the German Kennel Club a call - they did not know something about it. If really this is the new stadard - in a french version - we all will ahve a stupid problem - we have a fifth standard for Whippets now. As we have the american - the canadian - the austrailan - the new english - and now the new FCI.

I do not like the idea that the FCI did not overtake the new english standard. Maybe the english Kennelclub can do something???

Does anybody know something about it?

Susanne

Good Lord this is getting very confusing!!!! :blink:

Hello Susanne! I took this standard from FCI site, so I think it should be official. Here's a link http://www.fci.be/uploaded_files/162f2007_fr.doc I also wonder why is it available only in French :blink: , it should be in English, French, German and Spanish as those are official FCI languages. Hope they are working on English version and we can soon read it on FCI site too.

Thanks for posting the information and the link Sidewinders :thumbsup: ! I can't speak any French either but I'd, too, be very interested to know what the new FCI standard says . Is it very similar to the new UK standard?

For Whippets, Australia follows the Kennel Club (UK) breed standard. We have written requesting confirmation of the new KC standard as we have not been formally advised that this standard was adopted.

All very confusing. :wacko:

Here I am !

French for sure and able to translate anything you want !

Do not rush into any conclusions , it is not a real new standard .

It is an actualisation of the FCI norms for every standard ...

Helping every FCI judges to understand BETTER every standard .

The English version will be online soon , I was told ...

Just a question of days.

Ragarding the new english standard it is up to the KC to contact the FCI to tell the modifications and it have always been like that.

Sorry but there are not 5 standards as each country member of the FCI have to apply the FCI standard.

The american/canadian/australian standards are not apply by the FCI.

Th few "new" comments in the FCI standard regards an explanationof the movement and of the nose colors.

It is nothing new but it is now official.

And at least now there will be NO CONFUSION for the TRUE real Whippet movement ... is there were any before !

I think it is extemely important to disqualify shy whippet for the welfare of the breed. Agressivity is even worst !

An agressive whippet is not a WHIPPET !

Another important poitn as every colors ans mixure of colors are acceptable inn our breed, yes liver color could appear again one day and I have seen one long time ago but sorry have no phoots.

If you have blue from blacks you could have liver as well from lemons ...

It is just genetic facts.

Always here to help with any french/english translation.

Sorry Steph,

I heard from a member of the FCI Standard commission - (not official but at ringside) that the FCI may not take the changed english Standard as the new FCI standard! :angry:

So it is on us Whippetpeople to work that we will get the new british Standard - belive me, it will get difficulties! I hope so much to get the changed standard - we worked for it so hard the last 11 years - so did the english people who changed the standard!!!

As soon I know more I let you know. Maybe you know somebody at the FCI comission for the Standard - please ask him if something happend!!!!

Susanne

Also here in Italy... :blink: nobody knows anything about new standard

AFAIK there are no liver whippets, but all "true" cream whippets have liver noses. So, it does make sense to put it into the standard.

Finally! Standard is available in ENGLISH! (w00t)

Here's a link http://www.fci.be/uploaded_files/162gb2007_en.doc

Yes

I just got a copie from our Kennel Club because I am a judge.

Its a really shame - so it happend - the english Standard is different from the FCI Standard!!!!

The New FCI has not much to do with the new english.

I am very dissapionted!!!!

Susanne

Excuse me but where is it possible to see the new english standard ?

I have serach on the net and did not find it ...

anybody could help it will be super ...

The breed coucil and the KC could stiil put a request saying they do not agree with the new standard but it seem it will be difficult due the "PATRONAGE" is now no more England but FCI ...

And that I do not agree, a breed that is made-in UK should stay with the patronage of its own and have a right to say something about the breed.
