Vizsla

The Vizsla or Hungarian Braco It is a breed of dog originating in Hungary.. It is one of the best sporting and companion dogs, but little known outside his native Hungary.

The Vizsla was already known from the beginning of Hungarian history. The ancestors of today's Vizsla were the trusted hunting dogs and favorites of the Magyar tribes who lived in the Carpathian Basin in the 10th century.. There are primitive prints in stone - thousand years- It shows a Magyar Hunter with his Falcon and his Vizsla. The first written reference to the Vizsla breed was recorded in a chronic illustrated of the year 1357.

They were the companion dogs of royalty and barons early in the war, for which reason, the blood of the Vizsla has preserved its purity for centuries. The landed aristocracy jealously guarded them and encouraged the development of their hunting ability.Yellow pointer”. Records of letters and writings from the time show the high esteem in which Vizsla dogs were held..

The Vizsla, in spite of hard historical times which became, he survived the Turkish occupation (1526-1696), to the Hungarian Revolution (1848-49), the first and second world war, and the Russian occupation. But, was several times on the verge of extinction... In the year 1800 in Hungary the population of specimens of English Pointer and German Shorthaired Pointer, because they were more accessible to the entire population, This action, took them for the first time, on the verge of extinction, and then, the other nearest point was after World War II, when they thought they really..., they had disappeared.

Then, in Hungary a national survey of sports hunters was carried out, and the results revealed that only a dozen purebred Vizsla dogs had survived the debacle and were living in the country. From these copies, the race came to fame once more, After carrying out a thorough programme of recovery of the race. Outside of Hungary, Vizsla are commonly bred in Romania, Austria, Slovakia and Serbia.

The Vizsla at reached United States at the end of World War II and as the interest and devotion to the race was on the rise, the owners formed the Vizsla Club of America in order to obtain official recognition of the breed by the AKC to, took place the 25 in November of 1960.

The Vizsla was used in the development of other races, as of the Weimaraner, of the Vizsla hair hard and Braco German for short hair. There is considerable controversy regarding the races that, along with other Pointer breeds, were used to reestablish the Vizsla breed at the end of the 19th century. In any case, the similarity between the three races is undeniable…

The Vizsla is a medium-size of short hair dog, and elegant porte, light structure, with well defined muscles, that share physical characteristics with the Weimaraner or Weimaraner. Frequently confused them with dogs of other breeds such as, Redbone Coonhound, Braco of Weimar and the Rhodesian Ridgeback. Although with the races that closest thing it has is with Redbone Coonhound, the Weimaraner, the Vizsla is, As we said, the muscles are more defined and it is thinner than the aforementioned breeds.. The males measure of 56 to 63 cm. of height to the cross and weigh in 20 to 30 kg; the females measure of 53 to 61 cm. of height to the cross and weigh 18 to 25 kg. The Weimar Braco and Rhodesian Ridgeback are larger.

The nose of the Vizsla always has a reddish color that is mixed with the standard colour of the fur, It consists of different shades of the color solid oro-óxido (copper, brown, Golden reddish and Golden dark sand). The color of the eyes and nails should also mingle with the color of the fur (if the latter is not fulfilled, then we would talk about another race).

Some variations in the Vizsla's coat color may show markings along its back.Saddle’, is typical of the breed and for that reason, It is often confused with Rhodesian Ridgeback.

According to him American Kennel Club (AKC) and their standard of the breed, the Vizsla must have short hair, smooth, dense and glued to the body, without woolly subpelo. The Vizsla is not an animal prepared to live outdoors due to the absence of double layer, which leads them to be more susceptible to cold and intense heat. They are very clean dogs, they do not need to be bathed often, do not usually give off the characteristic “odor to dog” detectable by humans. After their forays into lakes and rivers they will develop a scent that is a very faint version of the "wet dog" scent.. A quick bath and the odor will vanish.

The Vizsla is a natural Hunter endowed with an extraordinary sense of smell, comparable to the Pointer and an above-average learning ability. Although they are encouraged, kind, emotional and sensitive, they are equally intrepid and have a well-developed protective instinct. Its hunting style is near, laceando without moving away from the Hunter hunting for the hand. They hunt in terrain, they are very versatile, and they can hunt all kinds of parts, either hair or feather. They are very athletic and resistant. Its recovery capacity is high, charge very well and can train you very easily.

Not only are large crawlers, but also, excellent collectors. Both on Earth and since water that, they are very good swimmers. Like all dogs hunting, the Vizsla require a good deal of exercise to stay healthy and happy. He is very intelligent and likes to feel challenged and stimulated, both mentally and physically. That is why they need training according to their characteristics, sweet, consistent and dedicated.

The Vizsla is a very energetic dog, soft and delicate manners, fair, loving and very warm. They often form close bonds with their owners, including children, that is why sometimes, they are nicknamed "velcro dog” due to his loyalty and affection, far from being lap it is always close to his master. They are quiet dogs, They ladrarán only if necessary. Many sleep in bed with their owners and, If they are allowed, They shall always endeavour to make a huequito under the sheets.

    Basset Fauve de Bretagne

    The Basset Fauve de Bretagne has a loose and lively temperament

    Content

    History

    The Basset Fauve de Bretagne descends in a direct line from the "Grand Fauve de Bretagne", ancient trail breed, today almost completely disappeared that was used for fox and wild boar hunting, in the most dense forest. His parent has retained the qualities of exceptional Hunter and his fogosidad to, often, It is braking with crosses with the Petit Basset Griffon Vendéen.

    In the 16th century there were four varieties of large dogs in France, the difference between them was more than remarkable in relation to the color of the coat and texture. The four varieties were white (du role), Fawn of the (Bretagne), grey (St Louis du) and the black. All of today's varieties of French hunting dogs seem to have their origin in repeated crossbreeding and mutations of these four types..

    Estos “Grand Fauve de Bretagne”, they were very big dogs, between 70 and 74 cm to the cross. They were known for their effectiveness in the early stages of a hunt.. his bravery, his thin nose, its resistance to cold and humidity and its impetus to hunt its prey, wild boar usually, made them ideal dogs for the thorny thickets of Northwest France. This large variety of Basset Fauve de Bretagne seems to have died out in France. The only representative of the Great "Grand Fauve de Bretagne", is the Fawn Brittany Griffon (48 – 56 cm.), very popular in France.

    There is considerable doubt about how the reduction of the overall size of the race was reduced to half. One theory suggests that it was initiated by selection of smaller litter size specimens., another for the breeding of the smallest specimens for countless generations. In the 19th century there were numerous litters made up entirely of Basset Fauve de Bretagne.

    In the Decade of 1970, as the Basset Fauve de Bretagne It became popular, French hunters decided to introduce new lines. It is generally believed that the Petit Basset Griffon Vendéen was used to improve their ability to, possibly, hunting and the Sausage dog to preserve the color of your hair.

    The Basset Fauve de Bretagne was first registered with the Kennel Club in September of 1991.

Its trunk while long, is very strong and compact and, Despite the relatively short limbs, moving with enough speed and ease. In any case, It should never have a too short head or seem excessively high on the extremities, as well as the hair should not appear soft or soft to the touch.

Long back but a little less than in the other Basset.

    The tail is thick at the base, not too long, and it takes something like a sickle-shaped, is gradually tuned towards the tip. The color is more or less intense Golden or Griffon wheat, sometimes with a white patch on the chest.

    Character and skills

    History

    The appearance of this short-legged dog suggests a very ancient breed. The Alpine Dachsbracke it is one of the oldest breeds of hunting dogs in Central Europe. It was already mentioned in the seventeenth century and represented in paintings.

    In the last quarter of the nineteenth century, Crown Prince Rudolf von Habsburg had this type of hunting dog run by his professional hunters.. The dog's appearance was unbalanced for a long time. Each canton raised its Alpine Dachsbracke differently.

    But it is not a cross between a Sausage dog and Bracco, as the German name suggests «Alpenländische Dachsbracke«, but an independent race. Visually, the Alpine Dachsbracke gets closer to the Dachshund, but it's much bigger and stronger.

    In the 19th century, there were numerous subspecies of Alpine Dachsbracke in the swiss alps, Bavarians and Austrians, that still differed greatly in appearance.

    At the end of the 19th century, many breeders of this breed of dog were in the Erzgebirge, so the race kept calling Alpenländische Erzgebirgler Dachsbracke until 1975. Another name is the Dachsbracke Austrian.

    This is because the current Club Dachsbracken is located in Austria. The goal of breeding, both then and now, is to maintain the health and performance of this ancient breed of dog.

    In order to establish a constant shape, a uniform appearance and appropriate breed characteristics, the first International Club of Dachsbracken was founded in Munich in 1896.

    In 1908 the club disbanded again. In 1910 the Austrian Dachsbracke Club was founded, which is still engaged in the breeding of the Alpine Dachsbracke.

    In 1932, the Alpine Dachsbracke was officially recognized by the Austrian Kennel Club (with him "Bavarian Mountain Hound" and the "Hanoverian Scenthound«) like the third breed of hound.

    In 1975 the Alpine Dachsbracke received recognition from the FCI, which finally classified the breed among the hounds in 1991.

    A race is quite unknown outside Austria.

    Great importance is attached to an optimal ratio of proportions. The relationship between the height of the shoulders and the torso is 2 : 3, the relationship between the face and the skull is 9 : 10.

    The head is held proudly erect with a slight forward tilt. High-set dangling ears are straight-haired and fall loosely to the sides. They are wide, no wrinkles and medium length (approximately reaching the canines) and rounded at the bottom.

    The nose, the eyelids and lips are black. The eyes are deep brown and slightly almond shaped. The Alpine Dachshund has the typical "dachshund look". The tail is placed high at the root, but it is slightly lowered.

    The Brazilian Tracker was a quiet and balanced dog, attached to his master.

    Content

    History

    The Brazilian Tracker It was a breed of dog originating in Brazil, that was recognized by the FCI the 1 in September of 1967 in the Group 6 / Section 1.1 – Large size hounds with number 275. In fact, It was the first Brazilian to be recognized by the FCI breed of dog.

    The Brazilian Tracker it's a Scent hound. The breed is also known under the names Urrador (his voice) or Urrador American.

    It was developed in the Decade of 1950 by Oswaldo Aranha Filho (In janeiro river), to hunt peccaries (they are pigs of medium-sized and wild that found in all Central and South America), Jaguars, and other types of dams typical of the country.

    Aranha Filho combined a number of breeds of hunting from America and Europe along with some native dogs of Brazil to create your dog. The Brazilian Tracker became Brazil's first race and it was what earned it the recognition of international dog associations.

    The glory of being a breed officially recognized at the international level lasted barely six years, time in which by neglect and a series of relief, the race was decimated.

    At that time there was only one breeder of Brazilian Tracker, Mr Oswaldo Aranha Filho, the creator of the race... And, their copies suffered because of two events, first of all an outbreak of babesiosis.

    Babesiosis (or babesiosis) It is a parasitic disease similar to malaria caused by protozoa of the genus Babesia and usually affect pets, especially to dogs. Its name was established in honor of the Romanian biologist Victor Babeş, He was the first to isolate the pathogen. It is the typical disease that is transmitted through a vector organism, usually the tick (Ixodes dammini); in fact, This mite is the same that transmit Lyme disease and, often, both are associated with.

    Y, in the second place, many of the dogs suffered poisoning from excess pesticide used by an employee of the farm.

    It was exactly in the year 1973, when the Fédération Cynologique Internationale declared the dog breed Brazilian Tracker, officially extinct. Which led to him losing his classification number since, prompted the cancellation of the registration.

    Since the FCI and the Brazilian Confederation of Cynophilia They declared this extinct breed, have carried out various efforts and programs of to retrieve it.

    Physical characteristics

    The standard of the breed of 1970 declaring a size between 62 and 67 cm and very similar in appearance to the Black and tan coonhound.

    There have been attempts underway to recreate the race from a mixture of American Foxhound, Black and tan coonhound, and the Small Blue Gascony, English Foxhound, and Bluetick Coonhound.

    The Rescue Support Group Brazilian Tracker of Brazil, a club dedicated to the restoration of the breed, Brazil, He devoted himself to organize - aim- a list of forty breeding animals of the correct type as, puediesen be certified as members of the race, in order to restore the race and return to be recognised by the Kennel Club of Brazil.

    The re-establishment of the breed, It has not been an easy task, due to the existence of very few pure specimens, and above all by the lack of social interest, There are very few people interested in the recovery of the true Brazilian cultural heritage and the genetics of the breed.

    Character and skills

    At the moment, the character is not easy to illustrate or define. Efforts to restore the breed continue today., and are being used in breeding programs, breeds used in his development with the descendants of mixed races found in all Brazil.

    But, the race again in the various canine clubs list (small) and dog organizations in North America, for the promotion of a rare species for those seeking an unusual pet.

    As it's a race in the process of being rebuilt, no data on specific diseases or extraordinary health demands.

    The Brazilian Tracker is a hunting dog, not a type of dog that has traditionally been used as a pet.

    The copies that exist today, fruit of the reconstruction, they tend to be very independent animals and, sometimes, somewhat stubborn, with a strong instinct of prey that, leads him to chase the small animals that live in the house... But with proper socialization, any dog is a good dog.
