JUNGALA
Standard of Excellence
PAGE 2
|
|
| Body
| Structure
|
Rather long-bodied, solid, hard, with depth and fullness but never coarse. Substantial bone and muscle development, yet with an athletic appearance. There should be some depth of chest with ribs slightly sprung. The back is level to slightly higher on the rear, and the flanks are reasonable level.
| | Legs
|
|
Medium long, of good substance and well muscled; powerful and in good proportion to the body.
| |
| Paws
|
Oval and compact, with size in proportion to the legs.
| | Tail
|
|
Fairly long, medium slim with only a slight taper and with a dark tip.
| | Coat
| Structure
|
Short, smooth and satiny in texture with a lustrous sheen; tight, close-lying and sleek, yet long enough to accommodate the necessary bands of colour.
There should be no suggestion of woolliness and length.
| |
| Colour
|
All colours should be clear and pleasing.
The lightest colour is usually found on the face around the eyes, on the chin and lower jaw. The darkest colour is found on the tip of the tail.

| | Remarks
|
|
- The Jungala is medium to large in size; it should be noted that females are generally smaller than males.
- An allowance is made for jowls in mature males.
- The Jungala should have surprising weight for its size.
- The overall structure and quality of this cat should be of greater consideration than merely the size alone.
- Preference is given to the athletic, powerful and lithe, and objection made to the bulky or coarse.
- No reds, creams or torbies are allowed. Very rufuous cinnamon and fawns may resemble red or cream, but never produce female torbies.
