Scottish Sheepdog

1. Before purchasing a puppy, it is best for first-time owners to refer to the introduction to the Scottish Sheepdog to have a preliminary understanding of the dog's appearance and internal characteristics, so that they can have a good idea when purchasing.

For example, the head of a purebred Su Mu is relatively flat, a bit like a wedge; the ears and eyes are relatively small, the muzzle is relatively rough, the nose is black, and it has a scissor-shaped bite. The chest is deep and the back is strong and compact. The limbs are strong and powerful, the feet are oval, and the base of the tail is relatively low. The hair is double-layered, the undercoat is soft and fine, and the outer coat is rougher. The hair is mostly light yellow, black and white, blue gray and a mixture of black, gray and white.

2. Puppies should not be too young or too old. It is most appropriate to choose a puppy that is 2-3 months old. This way, puppies of one month old are easier to train.

3. You must choose a healthy puppy that is full of energy, bright eyes, beautiful in appearance, and free from any disease. Never choose the smallest dog in the litter. This kind of dog will be difficult to raise well in the future due to congenital deficiencies.

Pay attention to choosing purebred Su Mu dogs. Health is also a matter of concern. A healthy Su Mu can turn its neck flexibly and its tail can wag freely. There is no hair loss or baldness. Full of energy, strong vitality, cheerful and lively, not afraid of strangers. He has a strong sense of balance when exercising, is good at jumping, and can move his body and limbs flexibly.

4. Choose a body shape that basically meets the characteristics of this breed. The specific requirements are as follows:

(1) The skull is flat, the head is wedge-shaped, the snout is not pointed, the nose is black, and the incisors bite like a scissors.

(2) The ears are small and the eyes are small, both of which are dark chestnut brown.

(3) The chest is deep and the back is strong, with a lion-shaped back.

(4) The limbs are straight and strong, the feet are oval, and the hock joints are low.

(5) The base of the tail is low, with long hair like a flag. It hangs down normally but can rise when excited.

(6) It has a double coat: the upper layer of hair is long and thick; the lower layer of hair is soft and fine, and the chest and neck are richly feathered.

(7) The coat color should be light yellow, black and white, blue gray and a mixture of black, gray and white.

(8) Good at running, light gait, flexible, agile and free.

5. When confirming the purchase, be sure to ask the seller for the pedigree certificate and relevant technical information of the dog breed, because these certificates and information have important reference value for future breeding management and participation in breeding. If you understand the paternal and maternal bloodlines of the object you are purchasing, you can avoid inbreeding during breeding to avoid breeding inferior dogs. In addition, vaccination certificates and transfer certificates signed by the buyer and seller should also be requested.
