chiots papillon epagneul nain continental, chiens de l'elevage des collines au charme fou selectionnes dans le standard de la race



	The standard of 1990 gives the following definition of its general aspect. GENERAL PACE splendid the small spaniel with long hairs has a harmonious natural anatomy; its moderately lengthened muzzle is shorter than cranium. It is sharp, gracious and charmer but so robust and proud of maintenance. Its pace is released and full with elegance. The standard of race is identical for the butterflies and the moths except the wearing of ears. It measures approximately 28 cm. In France, there are two categories of weight: - from 1,5 to 2,5 kilogrammes for the males and the females - of 2,5 kg to 4 kg for the males and of 2,5 kg with 5kg for the females. WRAP HAIR: The fur, without under hair, is abundant, brilliant, heavy shower but not buckled, nor soft. Not very resistant, with silky reflections. The hair is flat established, enough end in oneself, bent a little by the wave. The aspect of the fur approaches that of the hair of the small English dwarf Spaniels, but differs clearly from that of the Spaniels Pekinese. Other share, it should not have any resemblance to that of the Spitz. The hair is short on the face, the muzzle, the front of the legs and the lower part of the bulge. Of average length on the body, the hair lengthens with the neck to form a flange and a well ondé jabot going down on the chest. It forms fringes with the ears and the posterior part of the legs of front. With the posterior part of the thighs, full breeches are spread out in flexible wicks. Thin tufts can exist between the fingers and slightly exceed them with the proviso of not weighing down the foot, but contrary to refining it by lengthening it. As an indication, certain dogs in good condition of fur have a hair of 7,5 cm to the garrot and fringes of 15 cm to the tail. COLOR: All the colors are allowed on a white bottom of dress. On the body and the members, the white must be dominating compared to the color. One seeks the white at the head, prolonged by a more or less broad list. A white mark is allowed on the lower part of the head, but the white dominating at the head constitutes a defect. In all the cases, the eyelids and the truffle must be pigmented. TETE Normally proportioned with the body and proportionally lighter and shorter than in the Spaniel of big and average size. The cranium not too round neither of profile nor of face, sometimes showing a light trace of median furrow. The muzzle, shorter than cranium, fine, is frayed and not too hollow laterally. It cannot be turned up. The rectilinear chamfer is connected to cranium by accentuated an enough depression. In the heavier dogs this depression is less, but however sensitive. In the smaller dogs it is clearly marked without never presenting an abrupt break. TRUFFLE: Small, black and round, but slightly flattened on the top. LIPS: Very pigmented, thin and tightened. TEETH: Enough strong, adjusting in a normal way well. LANGUAGE: It should not be apparent. The fact of exceeding constantly, or of not remaining returned once touched by the finger, constitutes a defect. EYES: Enough large and quite open, they has the shape of a very broad almond. Not-prominent, placed rather low in the head, the internal corner located at the intersection of cranium and the muzzle. Of dark color and very expressive, the very pigmented eyelid. EARS: Of a rather fine but resistant tegumentation. That it is about the ear obliques or of the rising ear and when one examines it with the hand, the cartilage cannot finish at a peak too frayed. The ears are established enough N back on the head, sufficiently distant one of the other so that the slightly round shape of cranium appears. - Variety with falling ears, known as Moth: The ear at rest is established high, appreciably higher than the line of the eyes, hanging range and nevertheless rather mobile. It is furnished with hairs ondés being able to reach a big length, which gives to the dog an aspect prettiness. - - Variety with right ears, known as Butterfly: The ear is attached high, the conch is well opened and directed side. The internal edge of the conch forms an angle approaching of 45° with the horizontal one. To in no case the ear should not point upwards, which points out the ear of the Spitz and must formally be rejected. The interior of the conch is furnished with the also ondés fine hairs, longest exceeding little the edge of the ear. The external face, on the contrary, is covered with long hairs which form falling down fringes, largely exceeding the edge of the ear. The crossing of the two varieties often produces semi-drawn up ears, with the falling down point. This mixed shape of the port of the ears is a serious defect. NECK Of average length, it is arched a little with the nape of the neck. BODY The line of the top neither too short, neither is arched, nor ensellée, without however being able to be punt. The kidney solid and is slightly arched. The chest broad, is descended enough. Its perimeter, taken between the two last coasts must be appreciably equivalent to the height of the garrot. The side is well arched. The belly is slightly raised. MEMBERS FORMER: The shoulder and the arm are well developed and of the same length. They are attached one to the other under a normal angle and actually applied against the trunk. POSTERIEURS: the legs are right, firm and enough fines. The subject should not appear removed. The bulges are normally bent. Seen of front or of behind the legs are parallel. FEET: enough long and known as "hare", resting balance on their plates. Nails strong, preferably black, clearer at the subjects with brown or white dress. The white nails at the white subjects do not constitute a fault if the subject is well pigmented elsewhere. The fingers nervous with a resistant plate, are well furnished between them with fine hairs exceeding the end with the foot forming point. TAIL Attached rather high and rather long, it is very fringed and forms a beautiful plume. When the dog is in awakening, it is carried raised in the plan of the backbone and curved, the extreme point being able effleurer the back. Never it will have to be rolled up nor to be posed flat on the back. DEFECTS Flat, in the apple shape and bent cranium as in the small English Spaniels. Depression too little accentuated. Busqué or concave chamfer. Eye small, too round, prominent, of clear color or showing white when one looks it of face. Truffle which is not black. The higher prognathism and especially inferior are to be avoided. Arched forelimbs. Knotty wrist. Rear limbs who, seen of behind, would deviate from the vertical to the kneecaps, the bulges and the feet. Back weak train. Feet panards or knock-kneed. Nails not touching the ground. The pin, simple or double, with the legs of behind is undesirable and constitutes a defect of beauty. Its ablation is thus advised. Rolled up tail, resting on the back, falling down on the sides (they are the bone and not the fringes which by their length fall down in wicks). Poor, soft or puffed up fur. Hair planted right or right even or woolly, indicating the crossing with the spitz to him. DISQUALIFICATION: Pink or mottled truffle of pink. Higher Prognathism or excessive inferior so much so that the incisors does not touch themselves any more. Language paralysed or constantly visible. N.B.: The males must have two testicles of normal appearance completion descended in the scrotum. UP
