INTRODUCTION: The colour definition for the French Bulldog has been changed several times since the first FCI breed standard was written in the early 1880’s. Next to that it differs on several aspects from breed standards of other kennel clubs around the world like for instance the American Kennel Club or the English Kennel Club. Although the different standards are basically equal regarding the coat colour– the French Bulldog usually is described as fawn, brindled or pied – several details in the definitions, faults and disqualifications ensure a diversity of interpretations among the FCI, AKC, KC and other kennel clubs. The FCI breed standard for the French Bulldog was revised on several areas in 2014 and was published on April 17th in French and English.

  • Heraldic Terms
    HERALDIC TERMS The following terms, and their definitions, are used in heraldry. Some terms and practices were used in period real-world heraldry only. Some terms and practices are used in modern real-world heraldry only. Other terms and practices are used in SCA heraldry only. Most are used in both real-world and SCA heraldry. All are presented here as an aid to heraldic research and education. A LA CUISSE, A LA QUISE - at the thigh ABAISED, ABAISSÉ, ABASED - a charge or element depicted lower than its normal position ABATEMENTS - marks of disgrace placed on the shield of an offender of the law. There are extreme few records of such being employed, and then only noted in rolls. (As who would display their device if it had an abatement on it?) ABISME - a minor charge in the center of the shield drawn smaller than usual ABOUTÉ - end to end ABOVE - an ambiguous term which should be avoided in blazon. Generally, two charges one of which is above the other on the field can be blazoned better as "in pale an X and a Y" or "an A and in chief a B". See atop, ensigned. ABYSS - a minor charge in the center of the shield drawn smaller than usual ACCOLLÉ - (1) two shields side-by-side, sometimes united by their bottom tips overlapping or being connected to each other by their sides; (2) an animal with a crown, collar or other item around its neck; (3) keys, weapons or other implements placed saltirewise behind the shield in a heraldic display.

  • Pigments Suitable for Encaustic
    Pigments suitable for Encaustic For encaustic, pigments are melted into wax or a wax-resin-mixture. It is very important not to use toxic pigments with this technique. Pigments used for encaustic must not contain lead, arsenic or cadmium. The following list complies pigments which are heat-stable enough for this technique. However, the pigments should not be heated over the melting point of the wax and they should not be burnt. The pigments listed here are not safe for use in candle making. We recommend tests prior to the final application. Caution: Heated wax is a fire hazard and should never be left unattended. Wax vapors and fumes are hazardous for the health and should not be inhaled. An exhaust system should be installed to pull out wax vapors.

  • Banners in Heraldic Art
    Banners in heraldic art Magnus Backrnark Abstract The banner is very useful to heraldic art. It is a carrier of charges and colours, just like its coun­ terpart the shield. But where the shield can be seen as crude, heavy, flat and robust - its purpose being taking hits- the banner is brilliant, swift, full of I ife and motion. Its purpose is spiritual. It is lifted above anyone's head, above dust and confusion, for inspiration and guiding. Something of this character, I will with this article try to show by examples that the heraldic artist, if lucky, can translate in his or her work. First, we could though take a quick glance at the historical development of banners. The term banner approves, as we shall see, to a specific kind of flag, but in a wide sense of the word a banner is any ensign made of a peace of cloth, carried on a staff and with symbolic value to its owner(s). The profound nature of this innovation, which seem to be of oriental origin, makes it the mother of all kinds of flags. The etymologi­ cal root of the word banner is the French word banniere, derived from latin bandaria, bandum, which has German extraction, related to gothic bandwa, bandw6, 'sign'. 1 The birth of heraldry in the l2 h century Western world was preceded by centuries of use of early forms of banners, called gonfanons. From Bysantium to Normandy, everywhere in the Christian world, these ensigns usually were small rectangular lance­ flags with tai Is (Fig.

  • THE ORIGINS of the “Mccrackens”
    THE ORIGINS OF THE “McCrackens” By Philip D. Smith, Jr. PhD, FSTS, GTS, FSA Scot “B’e a’Ghaidhlig an canan na h’Albanaich” – “Gaelic was the language of the Scottish people.” The McCrackens are originally Scottish and speakers of the Scottish Gaelic language, a cousin to Irish Gaelic. While today, Gaelic is only spoken by a few thousands, it was the language of most of the people of the north and west of Scotland until after 1900. The McCracken history comes from a long tradition passed from generation to generation by the “seannachies”, the oral historians, of the Gaelic speaking peoples. According to tradition, the family is named for Nachten, Lord of Moray, a district in the northeast of Scotland. Nachten supposedly lived in the 9th century. In the course of time a number of his descendants moved southwest across Scotland and settled in Argyll. The family multiplied and prospered. The Gaelic word for “son” is “mac” and that for “children” is “clann” The descendants of Nachten were called by their neighbors, the Campbells, MacDougalls, and others the “Children of the Son of Nachten”, in Gaelic “Cloinne MacNachtain”, “Clan MacNachtan”. Spelling was not regularized in either Scotland or America until well after 1800. Two spellings alternate for the guttural /k/-like sound common in many Gaelic words, -ch and –gh. /ch/ is the most common Scottish spelling but the sound may be spelled –gh. The Scottish word for “lake” is “loch” while in Northern England and Ireland the same word is spelled “lough”. “MacLachlan” and “Mac Loughlin” are the same name as are “Docherty” and “Dougherty”.

  • 2015Coat Colour Inheritance
    Article written by Jean-Marie Vanbutsele, Illustrated coat colour inheritance about the Varieties of the Belgian Shepherd Dog This is a work in progress. Genetics is a rapidly evolving field, and updates will be made. Melanocytes. How do skin, hair and iris colouring take place? In the skin, the hair and the iris there are cells that secrete pigmented granules in their environment. These cells are called melanocytes because they have a pigment named melanin. If there is an absence (or lack of activity) of melanocytes, the skin and the hair are white and the eye is red because of the presence of blood vessels. Melanocytes protect the organism against sun radiations and absorb light. Melanocytes cells secrete: either eumelanin that determine the coat, nose, lips and eyes with black colour or brown/liver/chocolate colour . either phaeomelanin that determine only the coat with yellow/red colour that covers everything from deep red (like Irish Setters) to light cream. In conclusion, all coat colours and patterns in dogs are created by these two pigments. As well as being found in the coat, eumelanin is present in the other parts of the dog that need colour – most notably the eyes (irises) and nose. Phaeomelanin is produced only in the coat. It does not occur in the eyes or the noses. In July 2009, the FCI approved a standard nomenclature for coat colour. The words “fawn” and “sand” (for diluted fawn colour) are mentioned. The translation into French of “fawn with black overlay” and “sand with black overlay” are “fauve charbonné” and “sable charbonné”.
