Ca de Bou History
The Ca de Bestiar, inherited the brindle color in the Ca de Bou, and even though its was recently dropped in the standard (its history dates in excess of 100 years). The brindle color within the Ca de Bestiar was "wrongly" dropped in the standard, today we still see a few Ca de Bestiar litters drop a brindle every now and then. This specimens, when crossed having a typical Ca de Bou, created excellent specimens that then might become if typical enough, unique register. This is not common today, (but it continues to be done). It is very interesting that despite the fact that we have many owners within the breed, very few know about its recovery and it is origins. In the mid to late 1990s it had been a common but sad misconception our breed should appear bulldoggish, when there is nothing further from the truth. It's true that some Ca de Bou carry English bulldog within their genetic makeup, but this was proven to not be beneficial for the breed throughout the recovery.
Ca de Bou Description
The Ca de Bou is really a rather heavy breed, but it's the smallest of the mastiffs (so far as I know). The women stand 52-55 cm (20, 4"-22") high, and weigh about 30-34 kg (66-75 pounds). The males are 55-58 cm (22"-23") high, and should weigh 35-38 kg (75-84 pounds), but some are the litter bigger (my canines dad weighs about 40 kg, plus some weigh more than that). In males the circumference from the head should be greater compared to chest measured at the withers. The top is almost square with the strongly defined, protruding stop. Your skin is thick and close fitting except about the neck, where a slight dewlap might occur. The hair is short and rough to touch. Accepted colors in order associated with preference are brindle, fawn as well as black. In brindle dogs, darkish tones are preferred, in fawn, the actual deeper shade is preferred. White patches are permitted about the chest, front feet, and snout, provided the patches to not represent a lot more than 30% of the whole layer. A black mask is additionally permitted. Patches of any other color are thought disqualifying faults. The eyes are large and oval fit and as dark as possible based on coat color. The rather small ears are typical "rose" ears and really should be set high and towards the sides of the skull. The tail is placed low, tick at the root and tapering twoards the end. When in action the tail forms a small curve.
