His temperament is docile, cunning and guardian, ideal for guard, company or big game. It is recognized as a race in Uruguay from 1989 and internationally by the Federation Cynologique Internationale – FCI, from the 21 in February of 2006.

Etymologically Cimarron is a term applied in America (originally on the island of Hispaniola) to everything that having been domestic or civilized returned to the wild or wild state, by referring in this case to their refuge in the heights (Indeed in the mountains and valleys hidden) Sierras, with which cimarrón would be "he who lives on the peaks or hides in them".

The original specimens of the wild dog descended from the dogs introduced by the Spanish and Portuguese conquerors..
The natural crosses that were taking place in the wild is that it evolved in the course of two centuries a native variety perfectly adapted to the environment of the Uruguayan Plains.

«Tell your master that when I lack men to fight his henchmen, I have to fight them with Maroon dogs»: José Gervasio Artigas to the Gral. Carlos Federico Lecor.

The dog breed called Cimarrón dog or Criollo cimarrón is the only breed developed entirely in Uruguayan territory.

Non-domestic dogs in the world, Whether original species or breeds produced by the feralization of domestic breeds that returned to the natural environment and managed to readapt to it, they show a physical development that is totally different from this one., so it is highly arguable that this breed produced in the Uruguay as a supposed model maroons dogs mentioned in ancient chronicles and documents reflect the natural demeanor of those. All wild dogs of the world, Because of what is known as "convergence" at an evolutionary level, they have long legs, erect ears, slender body, exceptions that occur in extreme climates (enormous ears of certain dogs of African deserts or small ears of Arctic foxes).

There are detailed chronicles of attacks by packs of these dogs on caravans and people, that led to the authorities of the time (end of the 18th century) they already have and encourage major massacres, reaching count by tens of thousands dead dogs.

Each dead animal was paid by the authorities of the time, requiring proof of death presented the jaw or the pair of ears of the animal. From this practice would derive the characteristic ear cut that is performed on many newborn pups., in the shape of a "cougar ear".

Despite these massacres, «…a good number of mothers with their offspring conquered the mountains of Olimar and especially in the Sierra de Otazo and in the Cerros Largos», in what is now known as departments of Cerro Largo and Treinta y Tres, where many ranchers and landowners in this place, they took advantage of the virtues of this breed for working with cattle and defense of his property, beginning to raise it, preserving the mixing.

Modern traces of the breed begin to become more public in the early 1990s. 1980, When numerous breeders of Montevideo, attracted by the remarkable characteristics some specimens, they begin to develop their parenting and standardization.

It is in 1989 When this work begins to pay its fruits, to being the Cimarrón Uruguayo officially recognized by the Association of the Rural Uruguay (A.R.U.) and the Kennel Club Uruguayo (K.C.U.), 20 years after the first exposure of a specimen of the breed in the K.C.U.
Thus, the Association of Uruguayan Cimarrones Breeders was created and together with the K.C.U.. It prepares the official roll of the race, selecting the base dogs of the same and registering their pups, being tattooed for the first time with this registration number.

Today the character attributes of this breed called Cimarrón They make it increasingly popular in Uruguay and region, being employed as a companion dog, Guard and hunting, especially the wild boar.

Physical characteristics

Character and skills

It is excellent to work with cattle dog, hunting and guard. Predominant livestock activity of these lands and the consequent abundance of food without great competition with other natural predators, the bighorn reproduced in large numbers becoming – according to historical documents – in a true plague and scourge for the inhabitants of the countryside and the livestock.

This race since its standardization has attracted a growing interest both within the Uruguay border, having copies of this dog in various countries of America, from United States to Argentina, counting this last country with several breeders of Cimarrón Uruguayo.
Another of the steps achieved for the genetic improvement of the breed called Cimarrón Uruguayo is the signing of an agreement between the University of the Oriental Republic of Uruguay, through its Faculty of veterinary medicine with the Maroons breeders society for the study of the zootechnical status and consanguinity of the exemplary enrolled in their rolls.

This long process of standardization was crowned the 21 in February of 2006 When the International Bureau of the Federation Cynologique Internationale (FCI) gives international recognition to the Uruguayan Cimarron.

The breed standard states that the dog must have great courage. Like all large dogs, Cimarron Uruguayo should be well socialized when very young if you want to be kept as a companion. It is a very friendly dog ​​with children and other animals.

Cimarron Uruguayo is sometimes used for surveillance, hunting and all dog sports in his native Uruguay. Being a very intelligent dog has been used for all kinds of jobs, as rescue or grazing.

A dog is fairly quiet and stable, rarely bark unless the threat is real.

The primitive Cimarrón dog, by its roots in the Uruguayan territory, It has been from the very beginning of the national identity of this town a symbol of the independence struggle, faithfully reflected in the letter sent by General José Gervasio Artigas in response to General Carlos Federico Lecor, Count of la Laguna and Governor of the Provincia Cisplatina (current Uruguay) in which Artigas expressed that if it was left without soldiers to fight, I would do it with the Cimarron dog.

It is because of this tradition that this breed is currently a symbol and mascot of the National Army of Uruguay., having a preferential place in the annual military parades of the 18 July. On this occasion, a soldier of the battalion of Blandengues (the company that Artigas himself knew how to lead at the time) He rides leading the parade carried a Moorish Steed without along rider which is a sheep dog by the flange.

History

The Dogue de Bordeaux, it is a medium to large size molossian from France. The Molossoid type has been known since ancient times and played a considerable role in various cultures of the ancient world.. The Babylonians carved their molosser out of granite. They served rulers like Hammurabi as war dogs. Molosses are strong and heavy dogs. They have a commanding head with a short snout and long lips.. The ears are usually worn hanging. According to the traditions of antiquity in words and images, the main characteristics of the molossian have remained essentially the same for thousands of years.

The range of their tasks in the service of man has also remained constant for a long time. The ancestors of the Dogue de Bordeaux served as a hunting dog for large, well-fortified game, especially as a saupacker. They had to catch and corral the dangerous boar until the hunter could kill it with the boar feather, a special spear. This required speed, resistance, much courage and strength. The Dogue de Bordeaux served and continues to serve today as a guard and protection dog. In the Middle Ages it was used for the arenas of animal fighting. Large and small mollusks have always been scattered across Europe. The Dogue de Bordeaux was created as an independent breed with the emergence of modern dog breeding as a separate breed of dog. In 1863 The first French dog show was held at the Paris Acclimatization Garden.

The Dogue de Bordeaux it was already shown there under its current name. The name must be derived from the fact that these dogs were most often seen in the butcher shops of the city of Bordeaux.. At that time the Dogue de Bordeaux they were not so big however, heavy and as wrinkled as today. The monochromaticity required today was also missing. The award-winning male in Paris in 1883, «Bataille», he had a wrinkle-free head with a black mask. The Dogue de Bordeaux often had to suffer the political turmoil of mankind. During the French Revolution in 1789 was almost exterminated, because he was considered the dog of the rich. During the two world wars, the dogs had to suffer so much that their breed was endangered after the wars. Since the decade of 1960 has been experiencing a new boom. To revive the race, it is said that they were crossed with the St. Bernard shorthair.

Physical characteristics

The Dogue de Bordeaux It has an impressive appearance, despite or perhaps because it is not as big and heavy as a Mastiff or Saint Bernard. But, you can see the power it presents in majestic serenity. The standard establishes a height at the withers of 60 to 68 cm for males and 58 to 66 cm for females. The weight of the males is "at least 50 kg" and that of females of "at least 45 kg». Unfortunately, the standard does not provide an upper weight limit. So today we see specimens with 70 kg and more.

Especially such gigantism is at the expense of dogs' fitness and health.. Belgian Earl Bylandt gives 1894 as weight for the male 54 – 60 kg. German cynologist Richard Strebel reports in 1905 of 54 – 55 kg as the best weight for a male and 45 – 46 kg for a female. Such a weight would also do the current Dogue de Bordeaux very well.. The coat of the Dogue de Bordeaux must be thin, short and soft to the touch. It should be "solid in all shades of fawn from mahogany to Elizabethan". White spots on the chest and extremities of the limbs are allowed when they are not very extensive. This color restriction is also not very beneficial for the gene pool of the Dogue de Bordeaux.

    History

    The Bullmastiff It is a British breed of dog, as believed, comes from the crossing between races English mastiff and Bulldog.
    The race originated official in Britain at the end of the 19th century and the first standard (description of the set of racial characteristics) data of 1924, date on which was adopted by the British Kennel Club. Subsequently, the American Kennel Club, the Canadian Kennel Club, the Kennel Club Sheiko, the Australian Kennel Club and the Federation Cynologique Europèene itself drafted other standards, similar in concept, although, some of them show some differences.

    In the past, the Bullmastiff It was used in England as guardian of the large private landowners hunting grounds, in order to pursue and apprehend poachers; the dog Peiki developed its activity of harassment and demolition pushing the thieves with the weight of his body and throwing them on top, to immobilize them, without using his powerful mouth. The reason why the attack of this dog materialized in the use of bodily force but not in the bite was given by the Forest Laws that have prevailed since the 12th century in England..

    It should be said that even when the breed is officially defined as originating in the United Kingdom, the truth is that long before its adoption as such race by part of the Kennel Club and the making of his racial standard (that has changed very little since its adoption in the year 1924), the truth is that in the Iberian Peninsula there were specimens of similar morphology, as evidenced by engravings by Goya (c.1800) and, even more so the oil of great proportions, titled «Patio of horses of the old square of Madrid, "before the run", Manuel Castellanos, dating of 1853 and that it portrays two dogs that well could pass through Bullmastiff modern.

    In fact, much earlier, There were already "Bull Dogs" in the Iberian Peninsula that were highly appreciated for their bravery and power.; so much so that Catherine of Aragon herself, When he travelled to England to marry Henry VIII took, as part of his regalia, several of these animals to be used beyond, hobby that became very fashionable then and that continued to be highly appreciated in the times of Elizabeth I and Mary Stuart.

Short hair, his cloak can be Griffon, covering all shades from sand to liver red, or striped.

    the typical male, when it reaches its full physical development, for the three and a half years of age, comes to measure between 63,5 and 68,5 cm to the cross with a weight between 49,5 and 59,5 kg.

    Character and skills

    It is essential that the exercise is very controlled during the critical stage of growth (until the 15-16 months males and the 10 months females), to prevent musculoskeletal problems in adults. For this reason you must avoid overweight in the puppy.

    Training in attack is totally discouraged.

Some dog breeds need them they cut off the tail or her call after birth, the bulldogs are the few races that have naturally short and curly tail. A long, upright tail it is flaw in a Bulldog.

    Character and skills

    The Bulldog is friendly and courteous. There is hardly a quadruped that is so wholeheartedly devoted to humans. He greets his family and all the people he has held close to his heart at some point in his life with exuberant warmth.. It´s, mostly, a cool guy who can't be bothered by anything so quickly, not by a barking dog or by the vacuum cleaner running through its muzzle. But it can literally explode in an instant when it seems necessary. Then shoot like a rocket towards the front door and pile up with a dark bass in front of the alleged troublemaker.. In this situation, literally goes through the wall. The direct path is then his creed.

    But do not worry, the Bulldog can be controlled and bite accidents are practically impossible. When you realize you've scared a friend, almost embarrassed. Once the "danger" has been avoided, he lies down comfortably on his couch again seconds later and growls like nothing happened. At these extremes his mental heritage comes out once again. The Bulldog has a sovereign character, making it the ideal companion even in hectic big cities and a balm for our often stressed psyche.

    “Bulldog” care

    The Bulldog has no special demands on your posture. It is a frugal and low maintenance companion, as long as you are healthy. The most important thing is that you feel the love of your humans. It can be easily kept in a small apartment as long as it has its place on the sofa with a cushion. This is sacred to him. But there shouldn't be too many stairs to climb. He loves his daily walks, you also need to stay fit, and is a smooth companion when traveling or in the restaurant. The Bulldog behaves perfectly and can also be left in the room for a few hours.

    But, when is hot, you have to let her rest. You have to be careful that you are neither physically nor mentally stressed. You should avoid long car trips even with air conditioning. Otherwise, it is perfectly suitable for traveling. to most of the Bulldogs they love to travel by car. Since he doesn't have a strong hunting instinct, you can walk with him relaxedly through the landscape, what he also likes Bulldog. You have to control yourself with food. Most of the Bulldogs they are voracious eaters, who empty their bowl in no time and then look at us with an innocent expression: "That, Thats not all, I'm supposed to starve here?» Being overweight is bad for your health, even in the Bulldogs.

    No special coat care necessary; occasional brushing is good for fur and psyche.
    Regular cleaning is necessary in case of exaggerated wrinkles.

    Nutrition / Food

    The Bulldog he's a greedy dog. He hurriedly empties the bowl and then asks with a disapproving look if that was it.. In the interest of your health and your tendency to be overweight, must keep short and always watch the total ration of sweets included. It is advisable to feed the English Bulldog with high quality food with a high meat content.

    Life expectancy

    Due to over-exploitation and exaggeration in its appearance, the Bulldog has a life expectancy of only 6,3 years according to the standard leading Kennel Club static. A typical Bulldog of serious breeding without exaggeration can easily reach the 10-12 years.

    Health "Bulldog"

    There is probably no dog, nor any animal, that was so deeply shaped and unfortunately deformed by us humans. This caused considerable health problems. In 2009 the Kennel Club of London, who is responsible for him, revised the standard of Bulldog in the sense of a healthier upbringing. Among other things, nose wrinkles are expressly prohibited. Unfortunately, these regulations are ignored in much of the breeding. Natural births are a rarity and mating is increasingly being replaced by artificial insemination by the vet. The Bulldog healthy is very easy to care.

    Many Bulldogs suffer from a deformation of the respiratory tract, it doesn't allow them to breathe freely. As a result, the heart is occasionally overloaded. It also, inflamed wrinkles, entropion (eyelid turned inward) and narrow ear canals are common clinical pictures of the Bulldog. It also tends to cause allergies..

    Education

    The basis of your education is a relationship of love and trust with your master and caregiver. Humans must take their stubbornness and occasional stubbornness with humor.. Otherwise, we have a problem. Not a receiver of orders. But, needs clear boundaries and rules that must be strictly adhered to. Because when you want something, can be very stubborn. The Bulldog wants to please his people, but check the meaning of each order. If you don't want something, there is no way to enter. The only way to get in is by asking.. But then he will do what he is asked. A relationship of trust, a good understanding of your individual personality and respect for him can be the basis of an extremely harmonious team, where the Bulldog follows its caregiver with only facial expressions and eye movements.

    Ideal family dogs

    The Bulldogs they are ideal family dogs. Social integration in the human family and participation in his life is the greatest for him. Also for us, the humans, your warm affection is always a cause for joy, smile and good mood. Does not have an innate behavior, like the herding or protective instinct, that could turn into trouble. It is an ideal playmate for children. Although at first glance it seems a bit awkward, he is surprisingly kind even to young children. He also gets along well with other pets..

    Buy a "Bulldog"

    Find a Bulldog healthy is not easy
    Buy a puppy from Bulldog it's not easy. Although there is a wide range of offers on the relevant Internet portals, these are mostly doubtful. Many of the Bulldogs offered there come from Eastern European or even German multipliers. Breeding dogs lead a miserable life and puppies often show their illnesses days after purchase. This can become a very expensive matter, not to mention suffering. The Bulldog seriously bred is an expensive dog to buy, precisely because their upbringing requires a lot of effort. Please, buy your Bulldog only from the local breeder from long ago, preferably breeders with all certifications. Take a close look at the breeder: Serious breeders like to show you their breeding dogs and document the health and age of their ancestors. But it is also recommended to take a look at the refuge – there may be an opportunity to offer a Bulldog a new home. The puppies of a serious breeder cost from 2500 EUR. No special maintenance costs are necessary, but the Bulldog has a high risk of disease and therefore a high risk of cost.

    History of the BOXER

    The Boxer It is a breed of working and companion dogs., medium-sized, of German origin. Obtained through the crossing of an Bullenbeisser and Bulldog.

    Most canine historians agree that the Boxer has ancestors in dogs. Bullenbeisser. The Bullenbeisser (or out of bulls) they were hunting dogs, used for the hunting of the pig, wild boar and deer. Such expeditions for the hunting of wild animals used to cost the lives of several dogs., the game was horrible and painful both people and dogs (not to mention for wild boars). Some sources say that these huge medieval dogs had erect ears and large teeth., that would be used to hold the animal by the muzzle. It is likely that hunters cut off their ears in the way they do in some countries today., since this custom would seem to be in accordance with the primitive customs of those times.

    Within a more civilized and utilitarian way, the ancestors of the Boxer were frequently used as butchers dogs, due to its ability to hold to a bull and lead him toward his barn, if he became rebellious. It is believed that the famous reputation of a dog called "Boxl", used by a Berlin butcher is what gave the breed its name. The derivation of the word Boxer as the name for a purebred dog is ironic, since the word "boxl" or "boxel" has as its translation, in essence, mestizo.

    Physical Characteristics Boxer

    Exist of varieties within the Boxer race:

    • The Griffon
    • The striped

    His physical traits include a strong head, prognathic lower jaw, whose jaw pressure is generally 122 kg per square centimeter, snout with characteristic black mask, traditionally farmers cut their ears so that they seem rather long and situated in high, dark brown eyes, Truffle wide and black, strong neck, rounded and muscular and well fat; chest wide and rooms well muscled hind.

    With animal protection laws has allowed the dog to submit without cutting of ears and the tail of these animals, but in the standard of beauty, It looks more the Boxer cut ears and tail. Flat, drooping ears on both sides of the head, that give it a character "of the eternal puppy".

    The Boxer has a short coat, bright and smooth, Griffon or striped color (standard, black or red, though these colors are scarce). Sometimes it has white spots (collar, chest and gloves), Although the all-white Boxer has been considered as a genetic defect, While the initial progenitor (Meta Von Der Passage) was white.

    The height at the cross of males varies between the 57 and 63 centimeters. for females, the height at the cross must be between the 53 and 59 centimeters. The average weight of adult males is around the 30 kg, While that of females is around the 25 kg.

    Did you know??

    White boxers are not albinos and their color is not the result of a genetic mutation. In bóxers, white is only one color. But white dogs tend to get sunburned and may have an increased risk of skin cancer.

    Boxer character and skills

    Due to its value, strength and agility, was chosen as a police dog in Germany, used as a guide for the blind and a fire dog for its great sense of smell and bravery in major catastrophes. It is a faithful dog, intelligent and watchful, It is certainly one of the most complete dogs that exists. It is docile and boasts an unmatched loyalty with his family. However it is fierce and dominant and may attack other dogs with high speed (especially in males) When is one of their own attacked. They are very good for children, If you have one of 1 year two is the ideal time to fond with children and adults.

    For your good health and development, the Boxer Puppy needs enough exercise and a controlled diet. The amount of exercise and food depends on the age. The small puppy, before they are weaned and separated from their brothers, He plays with others until he tires, and all enroscan to rest. This exercise, with sufficient rest, It is essential for the growth of the puppies. as it grows, the Boxer needs exercise to keep in condition and develop his musculature. In addition to playing with different elements, as you can be a ball, It is essential to get the dog to walk on a daily basis.

    They are very suitable as companion dogs, family and in dealing with children, In addition to good dogs work and sport, They also serve as guard. They are recommended by specialists to help people with psychological deficiencies, This is a clear proof of its docility.

They are very playful, so do not like being locked, they prefer to be outdoors, why you must walk them often and do some exercise with them. They are also dogs with a great capacity for learning.

    White Boxer comments

    The Boxer are susceptible to tumors. Among its possible problems is also dysplasia. They suffer from epilepsy. Many of them are usually sensitive skin and suffer from some type of skin disease; allergic dermatitis is the most common.

    The white Boxer tend to be most susceptible to hereditary diseases, Since it is considered a failure of the crossing, These Boxer can not participate in any competition. The occurrence of these diseases is not high, and if this is added that the puppy will be purchased from a breeder, It provides all the certificates of health for their copies, much increases the chances of having a healthy animal.

    The Boxer white They are not as appreciated as brown or another color. Said that they are not entirely of pure-bred, but this is not true. These dogs are equal to each other, but in another color. Given that may suffer from various health problems, not appreciate them much, but if the dog does not have any problem it is like any other. If you have a health problem we must not think that it is a dog mestizo or that it is not completely pure. In addition the Boxer White It is not accepted by the F.C.I.

    In the Boxer breed, white markings are produced by the semi-recesivo gene sw. The Golden or atigrados Boxer with white markings carry a single copy of sw. The white Boxer lead 2 copies of sw. (Note: the white Boxer are not albinos. Albinism is determined by a different gene and exemplary albinos, Unlike in the Boxer white, they completely lacking pigmentation).

    Unfortunately, the white color produced by the 2 copies of sw is associated with problems of deafness in a not inconsiderable percentage of cases. This type of deafness is set in the puppy in their first weeks of life, starting when the ear canal is still closed. The process is complex, but it can be summarized by saying that it occurs because of the absence of pigment-producing cells (melanocytes) in the inner tissues of the ear. The Boxer of gold or brindle color does not present any problem of deafness.

    This type of deafness is not exclusive to the Boxer White, that is also produced in other breeds that are white for the same reason genetic (This is, the lead 2 copies of sw), for example the Dalmatian, White Bull Terrier and other.

    History

    The Dogo Argentino (Argentine Mastiff) is a breed of dog, created by the Argentine doctor Antonio Nores Martínez, looking for an animal suitable for the hunting of common species in Argentina, such as wild boars, peccaries and red foxes. Courage, courage and nobility are qualities that are maximized in this breed.

    The Dogo Argentino It is the only living Argentine dog breed (see footnote two extinct races), defined by its creator, The doctor. Antonio Nores Martinez, as "the best dog among all prey dogs and the most prey dog ​​among all the dogs in the world".

    In the Decade of 1920, Antonio Nores Martinez (helped by his brother Agustín, his father Antonio and uncles) decided to create a breed of prey that would bring together the best qualities of the «Cordoba Fighting Dog«, but with superior dimensions and physical strength. It also, he set out to achieve a dog that had aptitudes for hunting in packs, especially of wild boars, but that he was able to beat or stop the prey in combat alone until the arrival of his master or the rest of the pack.

    Antonio used as a base the «Cordoba Fighting Dog«, a mixture of races introduced in the Argentina by English residents, Bull Terrier and Bulldog, with breeds that the Spanish had brought, Spanish Alano and Spanish Mastiff. At these crossing, He was unbeaten in the fights of dogs, Antonio added bloodlines Bull Terrier and Pyrenean Mastiff. Like this, in the thirteenth generation, Antonio realized that he had created a perfect "war machine.", an invincible battle dog. Antonio's white dogs became famous because no other dog could beat them in the ring..

    This is how the Araucana family is created. Then Antonio set out to legalize the dog he had created, because the fighting, Despite being his passion, they were prohibited throughout the world. On the other hand, He was fascinated by the idea of directly killing a dog to lift, continue and captured the dam. The Araucana family was not good for hunting because they were very aggressive towards each other., very heavy in relation to their height and lacked smell. Then Antonio introduced blood Pointer, creating the Guaraní family. These Dogos maintained the fighting spirit of the Araucana family, but they were more resistant to pursue prey, they had a better sense of smell and it was possible to make them not fight.

    They spent several years crossing, selections and adequate functional gymnastics until towards the end of the Decade of 1940, Antonio managed to consolidate the current Argentine dogo, recognized as the most excellent hunting dog.

    In 1946 a public fight for the presentation of the breed was organized between Añá, an extraordinary specimen of Dogo Argentino and a breeding boar 5 years. It was a tough race for Aña, the fight came out victorious, then surrendered it in forty minutes, finishing the fight in perfect physical condition. The battle was filmed and woke up in the cinófilos a great admiration for the Doge ("He Dogo Argentino«, by Paolo Vianini, Vecchi publishing, 2006.).

    In 1947 Agustín organized a match at the Club de los Españoles in Morón between Chino, a Dogo Argentino and a Creole Black Bull, great fighter. After a while of combat, that it caused him to Chinese femur fracture, He managed to turn the nose of the bull, which, in a few minutes, He could not resist more pain and knelt. Chinese not dropped. The end was really a party for the Spanish public. Francisco, another brother of Antonio, He entered the arena and spoke to Chinese who burst into their prey and continued limping ("He Dogo Argentino«, by Paolo Vianini, Vecchi publishing, 2006.).

    Agustín was a great diffuser of the race, finally achieving its recognition as such (see letter from Dr. Agustín Nores Martínez to the FCA). The standard was published in the magazine «Diana» in 1947. The official recognition in Argentina took place in 1964, and the international in 1973. You can read the letter sent by Dr. Agustín Nores Martinez1 to the Argentine Cynological Federation requesting the opening of genealogical records of the breed, where he makes a detailed account of the virtues and potential of Dogo Argentino.

    In the last decades the Dogo Argentino It has been introduced with great success in the United States and several European countries..

He is currently one of the regulatory dogs for the police in Lebanon.

    Character and skills

    It is the most quintessential hunting dog. Bulldogs work in a pack, usually four members. When a bulldog winds the boar, aims it to achieve this and it turned on in the snout, ears, neck or legs, without releasing it despite the punishment that would receive the beast. The Dogo Argentino is a very powerful bite, a great resistance and much courage, qualities that allow him to fight with the animal until the end or until the other dogs of the pack arrive or the hunter who will finish off the boar with a knife.

    In some cases, crosses of bulldogs with greyhounds are incorporated into the pack, called "noose", to have dogs for both faster and lighter but they do not replace pure Doges, many more powerful and resistant.

    Dogo Argentino Health

    All dogs have the potential to develop genetic health problems, just as all people have the potential to inherit diseases. Steer clear of any breeder who does not offer a health guarantee on puppies, to tell you that race has no known problems, or keep the cubs isolated from the main part of the home for health reasons. A reputable breeder will be honest and open about the health problems of race and incidence occurring with.

    Conditions that have been seen in the breed include hypothyroidism and deafness. Bulldogs can also be prone to glaucoma and laryngeal paralysis. Y, like many big and giant races, the Dogo Argentino can develop hip dysplasia.

    Hip dysplasia is an inherited defect of the hip socket. It may be mild, causing little or no pain, or it can lead to severe lameness. Bulldogs with hip dysplasia can move slowly or avoid jumping. Depending on the severity of the condition, weight loss, medication or surgery may help relieve pain. Bulldogs that will be bred must have a hip x-ray and triage by a veterinary orthopedic specialist at two years of age..

    Do not buy a puppy from a breeder who cannot provide you with written documentation showing that the parents were exempt from health problems affecting the breed.. Having dogs “vet examined” is not a substitute for genetic health testing. Find your puppy elsewhere.

    Careful breeders test their breeding dogs for genetic diseases and only breed the healthiest and best looking dogs., but sometimes mother nature has other ideas. A puppy can develop one of these diseases despite good husbandry practices. Advances in veterinary medicine mean that in most cases dogs can still live a good life. If you are going to have a puppy, ask the breeder about the ages of the dogs in their lines and what are the most common causes of death.

    Grooming the Dogo Argentino is easy due to its short coat, although its large size means it's a great job. One bath every three months (or when it's dirty) using a mild dog shampoo is a good idea. Brush your stylish coat with a natural bristle brush or glove once a week. Use hair conditioner / polisher to shine.

    The rest is basic care. You have to check their ears every week and clean them if necessary and cut their toenails once a month. Regular brushing with a soft toothbrush and vet-approved dog toothpaste keeps teeth and gums healthy. It is essential to introduce the grooming to the Dogo Argentino when it is very young so that it learns to accept the handling and to make the fuss with tranquility.

    History «Shepherd of the Caucasus»

    One Caucasian Shepherd Dog it is a large and very strong sheepdog that is very widespread in Russia. In the official standard it is called Kavkazskaya ovčarka. The Caucasian Shepherd Dog they spread over a huge area, which includes the territory of Russia as well as the former Soviet Union. Only in the polar areas you can hardly see. In his homeland., theCaucasian Shepherd Dog are, therefore, quite different in detail and different types have been developed. In the steppe areas this breed is lighter and taller, in mountainous regions heavier and more compact. But in type and character it is the same everywhere. This is the result of your work task, which was and is the only criterion for breeding there for many centuries. At the end, the same requirements resulted in the same dogs. Their tasks are to herd and protect the herds, monitor and protect property and its people. They are archaic dogs, they probably came into existence in this form with the introduction of animal husbandry in the first place, and that was a few 10.000 years.

    You can't fool a Caucasian Shepherd Dog. Has a clear understanding of their role. Typically, lies down in a high place next to his flock, to be able to observe everything around him. Her flock, their shepherds, his family and his properties are sacred to him. He is faithful and lovingly devoted to them. He is suspicious of everything else and does not hesitate to attack any sign that he interprets as hostile. It is extremely defensive and fearlessly opposes even wolves and bears. In this way it has protected the herds of cattle and the lonely properties of the shepherds, farmers, hostels, artisans and merchants from time immemorial. This extremely useful feature, even necessary for the functioning of such a society in the vast and lonely country, does not fit into today's tight and hectic society. There is hardly a piece of land large enough to provide the dog with Caucasian Shepherd Dog a workspace. He is used to other scales of the vastness of Russia.

    It also, the zeitgeist in today's world demonizes all forms of aggression emanating from a dog. While it only takes one or two generations, larger property owners were proud that their dog was reliable and, in case of emergency, acute, I would fearlessly chase away a thief, such a feature is potentially life-threatening for today's dog.
