Breed Standards:

The UK Breed Standard is currently different to the version used by the Portuguese.  The Portuguese/FCI standard is more comprehensive and lists eliminating faults.  For completeness, we have linked both below.  For the avoidance of doubt, where there are discrepancies between the two standards, we breed to the Portuguese Standard, since the Estrela is a Portuguese dog.
