DATE OF PUBLICATION OF THE ORIGINAL VALID STANDARD : 13/03/2001.

With working trial.

BRIEF HISTORICAL SUMMARY : This variety of Pyrenean Sheepdog was principally found in the Pyrenean foot-hills where it was “much appreciated by horse-dealers and cattle-drovers” according to Bernard SÉNAC-LAGRANGE (1927 club’s yearbook) . Its distinctive features compared with those of other types of Pyrenean Sheepdogs gained it an appendix in the breed standard from the 1920s.

GENERAL APPEARANCE : Overall, the smooth-faced Pyrenean Sheepdog has the same characteristics as the long-COATed Pyrenean Sheepdog.

IMPORTANT PROPORTIONS :
The skull is approximately as wide as long.
The muzzle is slightly shorter than the skull, but longer than that of the long or semi-long COATed varieties.
The length of the BODY is almost equals its height.
The distance from the elbow to the ground is greater than half the height at the withers.


BEHAVIOUR / TEMPERAMENT : Lively, biddable dog, sometimes wary of strangers.


HEAD : Furnished with short fine HAIR (hence the name “smooth-faced”). The muzzle is a little longer than that of the semi-long COATed Pyrenean Sheepdogs.

BODY : A little shorter than that of the long-COATed Pyrenean Sheepdog, it is a more square-shaped BODY.

LIMBS : Covered in smooth HAIR with a light fringe of HAIR on the front legs and breeches on the hind legs. The foot is both tighter and more arched than that of the long-COATed sheepdog.
Angulations are more open in this variety.

GAIT / MOVEMENT : On the move, the smooth-faced Pyrenean Sheepdog has a shorter stride than the long-COATed variety.

COAT : On the BODY the HAIR is semi-long or less than semi-long. It reaches its longest length on the NECK and withers (6-7 cm) and on the median line of the back (4-5 cm).

SIZE :
Height at withers : Males 40-54 cm.
Females 40-52 cm.


FAULTS : Any departure from the foregoing points should be considered a fault and the seriousness with which the fault should be regarded should be in exact proportion to its degree.

The FAULTS and ELIMINATING FAULTS are the same as those indicated for the long-COATed variety, except for those describing COAT and proportions.

Any dog clearly showing physical or behavioural abnormalities shall be disqualified.

N.B. : Male animals should have two apparently normal testicles fully descended into the scrotum.

Free IQ test online

An Intelligence Quotient or IQ is a score derived from one of several different standardized tests attempting to measure intelligence. Although the term "IQ" is still in common use, the scoring of modern IQ tests such as the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale is now based on a projection of the subject's measured rank on the Gaussian bell curve with a center value (average IQ) of 100, and a standard deviation of 15, although different tests may have different standard deviations. The average IQ scores for many populations have been rising at an average rate of three points per decade since the early 20th century with most of the increase in the lower half of the IQ range: a phenomenon called the Flynn effect. It is disputed whether these changes in scores reflect real changes in intellectual abilities, or merely methodological problems with past or present testing. (Wikipedie)

IQ test lasts approximately 30 minutes and contains 40 questions !

In the IQ test you must focus on the maximum. Test questions are simple. In the IQ test may not use the calculator and paper.
