Online Toybob セミナー(6)

Toybobを特徴付けるBobtailですから、それなりに高い配点かと思ったのですが、プレゼン資料によると、Tailの配点は5点となっています。（※別途、18点を配した資料もあります）

どういう定義になっているかと言うと、以下のようになっています。

「Flexible, preferably composed of several kinks and curves in any combination, but may be also almost straight. Visible length is not less than 1 inch and not longer then 1/3 of the body length」－－。

ポイントとなりそうなのは、やはり長さかもしれません。

「Visible length」は「not less than 1 inch（=2.54cm）」で、しかも「not longer then 1/3 of the body length」となっています。

この時の「body length」は、プレゼン資料によると、首の付け根からお尻までですから、この長さを3等分したものより長くてはいけないということになります。



ちなみに、その他のBobtailの猫種の「Tail」はどうなっているか、参考までに載せておきます。

【AMERICAN BOBTAIL（ABT/ABS）】・・・10点
Tail: Short, with a minimum length of 1 inch actual bone. May extend to the hock, but not past it.

【JAPANESE BOBTAIL（JB/JBL）】・・・16点
Tail: The shape is straight or curved or angled; appears as pom-pom. The tail is usually carried upright when the cat is relaxed. The hair on the tail is somewhat longer and thicker than the body hair, growing outward in all directions to create a pom-pom or bunny-tail effect. The pom-pom appears to commence at the base of the spine, and camouflages the underlying bone structure of the tail. The tail bone is usually strong and rigid rather than jointed (except at the base), and may be either straight or composed of one or more curves and angles. The furthest extension of the tail bone from the body should be approximately 2 to 3 inches, even though it might be 4 or 5 inches long if it were straightened to its full length.

【KURILIAN BOBTAIL（KB/KBL）】・・・15点
Tail: Composed of one or more kinks or curves or any combination thereof, appearing as a pom-pom or brush. VISIBLE tail length with the coat is from 1.5 cm to 8 cm (59-3.15 inches) for the shorthair and up to 13 cm (5.12 inches) for the semilonghair. May be rigid or flexible or a combination of both (part rigid, part flexible). Size and shape of the tail should harmonize with the common appearance of the cat. When palpated, the tail consists of at least 2 vertebrae, with at least one kink or curve or any amount of combinations thereof. Palpated length of the tail is from 1.5 cm to 8 cm (59-3.15 inches), counting length of kinks and curves. The tail can be described as “snag”, “spiral” or “whisk”. The direction of the tail is not important.

【PIXIEBOB （PB/PBL）】・・・3点
Tail: Tail bone must be 2 inches minimum, maximum length to hock with leg extended. Articulated tail desirable, kinks and curls acceptable.
