Sibirski haski - Standard br. 270, SAD

click here for english version
Opšti izgled:

Sibirski haski je radni pas, srednje veličine, ležernog držanja i energičnog hoda. Kretanje mu je prirodno i elegantno. Telo je umereno zbijeno, pokriveno kvalitetnim krznom, uši su prave, rep gusto odlakan asocira na njegovo nordijsko poreklo. Karakteristično kretanje je jedinstveno i naizgled lako. Sa velikom sigurnošću obavlja svoju originalnu ulogu vučnog psa, vukući teret umerenom brzinom na velike razdaljine. Proporcije i oblik njegovog tela pokazuju uravnoteženost snage, brzine i izdržljivosti. Mužjaci nikada ne deluju prosečno u svom izgledu, a i ženke su bez mana u svojoj građi. Sibirski haski u dobroj kondiciji sa zatvorenom i dobro razvijenom muskulaturom nikada nije pretežak.

Siberian Husky - F.C.I. Standard No. 270

General Appearance

The Siberian Husky is a medium-sized working dog, quick and light on his feet and free and graceful in action. His moderately compact and well-furred body, erect ears and brush tail suggest his Northern heritage. His characteristic gait is smooth and seemingly effortless. He performs his original function in harness most capably, carrying a light load at a moderate speed over great distances. His body proportions and form reflect this basic balance of power, speed and endurance. The males of the Siberian Husky breed are masculine but never coarse; the bitches are feminine but without weakness of structure. In proper condition, with muscle firm and well developed, the Siberian Husky does not carry excess weight.

HEAD

Expression: Is keen, but friendly; interested and even mischievous.

Skull: Of medium size and in proportion to the body; slightly rounded on top and tapering from the widest point to the eyes.
Faults: Head clumsy or heavy; head too finely chiselled.

Muzzle: Of medium length; that is, the distance from the tip of the nose to the stop is equal to the distance from the stop to the occiput. The muzzle is of medium width, tapering gradually to the nose, with the tip neither pointed nor square. The stop is well-defined and the bridge of the nose is straight from the stop to the tip. Nose is black in grey, tan or black dogs; liver in copper dogs; may be flesh coloured in pure white dogs. The pink-streaked "snow nose" is acceptable.
Faults: Muzzle either too snipy or too coarse; muzzle too short or too long; insufficient stop.

Mouth - Teeth: Closing in a scissor bite.
Fault: Any bite other than scissor.

Lips: Are well pigmented and close fitting.

Ears: Of medium size, triangular in shape, close fitting and set high on the head. They are thick, well furred, slightly arched at the back, and strongly erect, with slightly rounded tips pointing straight up.
Faults: Ears too large in proportion to the head; too wide set; not strongly erect.

Eyes: Almond shaped, moderately spaced and set a trifle obliquely. Eyes may be brown or blue in colour; one of each or particoloured are acceptable.
Faults: Eyes set too obliquely; set too close together.

BODY

Neck: Medium in length, arched and carried proudly erect when dog is standing. When moving at a trot, the neck is extended so that the head is carried slightly forward.
Faults: Neck too short and thick; neck too long.

Shoulders: The shoulder blade is well laid back. The upper arm angles slightly backward from point of shoulder to elbow, and is never perpendicular to the ground. The muscles and ligaments holding the shoulder to the rib cage are firm and well developed.
Faults: Straight shoulders; loose shoulders.

Chest: Deep and strong, but not too broad, with the deepest point being just behind and level with the elbows. The ribs are well-sprung from the spine but flattened on the sides to allow for freedom of action.
Faults: Chest too broad; "barrel ribs"; ribs too flat or weak.

Back: The back is straight and strong, with a level top line from withers to croup. It is of medium length, neither cobby nor slack from excessive length. The loin is taut and lean, narrower than the rib cage, and with a slight tuck-up. The croup slopes away from the spine at an angle, but never so steeply as to restrict the rearward thrust of the hind legs.
Faults: Weak or slack back; roached back; sloping top line.

LEGS

Forelegs: When standing and viewed from the front, the legs are moderately spaced, parallel and straight, with the elbows close to the body and turned neither in nor out. Viewed from the side, pasterns are slightly slanted, with the pastern joint strong, but flexible. Bone is substantial but never heavy. Length of the leg from elbow to ground is slightly more than the distance from the elbow to the top of the withers. Dew claws on forelegs may be removed.
Faults: Weak pasterns; too heavy bone; too narrow or too wide in the front; out at the elbows.

Hindquarters: When standing and viewed from the rear, the hind legs are moderately spaced and parallel. The upper thighs are well muscled and powerful, the stifles well bent, the hock joint well defined and set low to the ground. Dew claws, if any, are to be removed.
Faults: Straight stifles; cow hocks; too narrow or too wide in the rear.

Feet: Oval in shape but not long. The paws are medium in size, compact and well furred between the toes and pads. The pads are tough and thickly cushioned. The paws neither turn in nor out when the dog is in natural stance.
Faults: Soft or splayed toes; paws too large and clumsy; paws too small and delicate; toeing in or out.

Tail: The well furred tail of fox-brush shape is set on just below the level of the top line, and is usually carried over the back in a graceful sickle curve when the dog is at attention. When carried up, the tail does not curl to either side of the body, nor does it snap flat against the back. A trailing tail is normal for the dog when in repose. Hair on the tail is of medium length and approximately the same length on top, sides and bottom, giving the appearance of a round brush.
Faults: A snapped or tightly curled tail; highly plumed tail; tail set too low or too high.

Gait/Movement: The Siberian Husky's characteristic gait is smooth and seemingly effortless. He is quick and light on his feet, and when in the show ring should be gaited on a loose lead at a moderately fast trot, exhibiting good reach in the forequarters and good drive in the hindquarters. When viewed from the front or rear while moving at a walk the Siberian Husky does not single track, but as the speed increases the legs gradually angle inward until the pads are falling on a line directly under the longitudinal centre of the body. As the pad marks converge, the forelegs and hind legs are carried straight forward, with neither elbows nor stifles turned in or out. Each hind leg moves in the path of the foreleg on the same side. While the dog is gaiting, the top line remains firm and level.
Faults: Short, prancing or choppy gait, lumbering or rolling gait; crossing or crabbing.

COAT

The coat of the Siberian Husky is double and medium in length, giving a well-furred appearance, but is never so long as to obscure the clean-cut outline of the dog. The undercoat is soft and dense and of sufficient length to support the outer coat. The guard hairs of the outer coat are straight and somewhat smooth lying, never harsh nor standing straight off from the body. It should be noted that the absence of the undercoat during the shedding season is normal. Trimming of whiskers and fur between the toes and around the feet to present a neater appearance is permissible. Trimming the fur on any other part of the dog is not to be condoned and should be severely penalised.
Faults: Long, rough, or shaggy coat; texture too harsh or too silky; trimming of the coat, except as permitted above.

COLOUR

All colours from black to pure white are allowed. A variety of markings on the head is common, including many striking patterns not found in other breeds.

TEMPERAMENT

The characteristic temperament of the Siberian Husky is friendly and gentle, but also alert and outgoing. He does not display the possessive qualities of the guard dog, nor is he overly suspicious of strangers or aggressive with other dogs. Some measure of reserve and dignity may be expected in the mature dog. His intelligence, tractability, and eager disposition make him an agreeable companion and willing worker.

SIZE

Height: Dogs 53.5-60 cm at the withers. Bitches 51-56 cm at the withers.
Weight: Dogs 20-27 kg. Bitches 16-23 kg. Weight is in proportion to height.

The measurements mentioned above represent the extreme height and weight limits with no preference given to either extreme. Any appearance of excessive bone or weight should be penalised. In profile, the length of the body from the point of the shoulder to the rear point of the croup is slightly longer than the height of the body from the ground to the top of the withers.

Disqualification: Dogs over 60cm and bitches over 56 cm.
In addition to the faults already noted, the obvious structural faults common to all breeds are as undesirable in the Siberian Husky as in other breed, even though they are not specifically mentioned herein.
Male animals should have two apparently normal testicles fully descended into the scrotum.
