About: Welsh Hillman

An Entity of Type: mammal, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

The Welsh Hillman was an ancient landrace or type of herding dog in Wales, used for herding and droving. The variety is thought to have become extinct around 1990. The Welsh Hillman was thought to have been descended from ancient Welsh herding dogs. It was possibly the oldest Welsh sheepdog, and may have been the descendant of the old gellgi or "Welsh wolfhounds" used around 1,000 years ago. Some sources, without any obvious evidence, suggest it was crossbred with similar dogs seen in North Africa.

  • The Welsh Hillman was an ancient landrace or type of herding dog in Wales, used for herding and droving. The variety is thought to have become extinct around 1990. The Welsh Hillman was thought to have been descended from ancient Welsh herding dogs. It was possibly the oldest Welsh sheepdog, and may have been the descendant of the old gellgi or "Welsh wolfhounds" used around 1,000 years ago. Some sources, without any obvious evidence, suggest it was crossbred with similar dogs seen in North Africa. It was a large but rangy dog, up to approximately 25 in (64 cm) in height, and described as "fast and fearless", with an appearance not unlike a lighter-built German Shepherd. The ears were pricked. The coat was usually of a light fawn, sandy or red-gold colour with a black saddle, a white chest, white on the legs and the tip of the tail and a blaze on the face. Blue merle dogs were also occasionally seen. The breed was uncommon in modern times. C. L. B. Hubbard, writing in 1948, described it as "almost extinct" and "scarcely ever seen working today". The last known Welsh Hillman, "Jess", was purchased in 1974 from a hill farm near Hay-on-Wye by the author and broadcaster Jeanine McMullen, and was spayed before her owner realised her rarity. (en)

  • Il cane gallese Hillman o Welsh Hillman era un antico ecotipo o tipo di cane da pastore del Galles, usato per la pastorizia e la transumanza. Si pensa che la varietà si sia estinta intorno al 1990. Si pensava che il gallese Hillman discendesse da antichi cani da pastore gallesi. Probabilmente era il più antico cane pastore gallese, e potrebbe essere stato il discendente dei vecchi gellgi o "cani lupo gallesi" usati circa 1.000 anni fa. Alcune fonti, senza alcuna prova evidente, suggeriscono che sia stato incrociato con cani simili visti in Nord Africa. Era un cane grande ma robusto, fino a circa 64 cm di altezza, e descritto come "veloce e senza paura", con un aspetto non dissimile da un pastore tedesco di corporatura più leggera. Le orecchie erano dritte. Il mantello era solitamente di un colore fulvo chiaro, sabbia o rosso-oro con una sella nera, petto bianco, bianco sulle zampe e sulla punta della coda e un bagliore sul viso. Occasionalmente sono stati visti anche cani blue merle. La razza era rara nei tempi moderni. CLB Hubbard, scrivendo nel 1948, lo descrisse come "quasi estinto" e "quasi mai visto lavorare oggi". L'ultimo gallese Hillman conosciuto, "Jess", fu acquistato nel 1974 da una fattoria in collina vicino a Hay-on-Wye dall'autrice ed emittente Jeanine McMullen, e fu sterilizzato prima che il suo proprietario si rendesse conto della sua rarità.
