History

The Istrian Shorthaired Hound is an ancient breed of hound dog originating from Istria, whose origins are lost in dark prehistory.

History

It has remote and completely unknown origins.: its official recognition dates back to after World War II, but the breed already existed for centuries.

While there are no historical records, the Slovenský Kopov is widely believed to have existed in central Europe for many hundreds of years and to have descended from other local breeds, including the Austrian Black and Tan Hound and the Polish Hound.

Not widely kept for any purpose other than hunting, the Slovakian Hound He has honed his hunting skills over the centuries and is respected within Slovakia for his tracking ability and endurance. Despite its proven track record in the field, rarely seen internationally. curiously, when seen internationally, It is sometimes called the "Black Forest Dog.", a completely wrong name, since the Slovakian Hound it's not now, and has never been, native to the Black Forest region.

Like many other breeds of dogs of the time, the population of the Slovakian Hound decreased dramatically during the period of the World Wars. It is attributed to a Slovak named Koloman Snail having brought the race from the brink of extinction at this time, by establishing successful breeding programs nationwide.

Officially accepted as a breed in the decade of 1870, the first club of the breed Slovakian Hound was recently formed in 1988, in the capital of Bratislava. The Slovakian Hound it is so popular in its birthplace that it has been named the national breed of Slovakia.

They are dark and almond-shaped. The ears are of medium length, rounded at the tip and falls flat against the head. This dog is notable for its constancy in following a cool trail or trail for hours, giving the voice without hesitation.

females 40-45 cm.

Weight: 15-20 kg

Character and skills

This determined hunter must be tenacious when on the road and courageous when facing the animals he hunts., like the boar and the deer. They have excellent olfactory abilities and will painstakingly trace a scent back to the source. An independent animal that is happy to work with a minimum of human interaction, the Slovakian Hound need little direction. Despite this, they are obedient, and they will happily follow their master's plans when necessary.

The Slovakian Hound it's a good watchdog, as he is continuously alert and observant. This, along with the fact that they become devoted to their owners, means they are often protective, and can be used successfully as watchdogs, becoming potentially aggressive if the situation calls for it. Barking can be a problem and is a common complaint of many owners.. Excessive barking can be prevented by ensuring that the Slovakian Hound you are not under-exercised and have plenty of activities and jobs to fill your day.

Health

The Slovakian Hound it is a very resistant dog. In the country of origin the owner has a dog, rarely from, who does not live in a kennel but in contact with the master from morning to night, often used as a general purpose dog, taking care of the house as well as the cattle, and of course hunting. It is adapted to outdoor life and has an iron constitution.

Care and maintenance

The Slovakian Hound it is a very resistant dog, no particular grooming problems. Short hair, when he comes back from hunting he will be the happiest in the world if you give him the necessary brushstroke for a superficial cleaning at the level of the spikes, caught between the pads, ticks possibly not yet attached.

He will quickly get used to coming to you for this cleaning because he is looking for contact with his master.

Qualities

It's a farm dog, the quintessential farm dog. Bad guys just do that. The good ones are able to give the voice, to take the lead by yelling or barking directly at any stranger before coming into view. A good Slovakian Hound should give voice instantly. Not after ten minutes (although, depending on the conditions…). The smell of Slovakian Hound it's excellent, as fine as that of the best Hounds, but his hunting style leads him to voice only in the moment, and of course staring.

The Slovakian Hound is a search engine, a hunting finder. Hunting instinct is among the best hounds, really very developed, off the beaten path as in some Warren hound and some representatives of primitive races.

Farm dog, you don't need to see the animal, the wild boar to bark after, like some pointing dogs that only bark at sight, or to the noise. With experience, depending on origins, will start barking after turning around to make sure the animal is ten meters away, or more. Once you have fired the bark it will zoom in pretty quickly, but always with care, always staying safe. The Slovakian Hound is not a brave and daring specialist like some races of German Hunting Terrier or pointing dogs, who are inevitably injured frequently. With the, used in its specificity, theoretically, no need for a boar vest, because he knows how to handle attacks. Some are never hurt, if used properly, alone or as a couple.

The Slovakian Hound is a dog that is easy to start with the boar. Because it's in their nature, to bark, and the only animal that does not automatically flee but goes to meet is the wild boar. If you are accustomed to hunting on hunts where wild boar are rare but deer are numerous, you will enjoy easily guiding your animals for half an hour or more, but as soon as he perceives that there is a wild boar in the area, will leave this animal too elusive to go and do what it was designed to do.

A good Slovakian Hound, alone or as a couple, it is rarely caught by a wild boar. Otherwise, in dog teams he becomes a vulnerable dog like any other because his passion is terrible, and there, better equip it with a vest…

History

The Schiller Hound It is a working breed that has existed in Sweden since the Middle Ages. But, the breed was not really established and recognized until 1952. This recognition is due in large part to a breeder, Per Schiller, who gave the breed its name.

In 1886, at the first Swedish dog show, they were shown 189 hounds. Among them were Tamburini and Ralla I, a brother and sister belonging to Per Schiller. They were descended from the famous hounds of the Kaflas estate. These dogs probably came from southern Germany: rather small, fawn in color with black fur and slight white markings.

The Schiller Hound they were then based on the crossing of Swiss dogs, German and Austrian, as well as in British hunting dogs, especially the Harriers, to produce a fast and light breed that quickly acquired its type. curiously, Per Schiller worked alongside a Swedish doctor named Adolf Hamilton, and also led to the development of a similar dog named Hamilton Hound, that can be differentiated from Schiller Hound for its tricolor coat.

Still very rare outside his native country, the Schiller Hound was recognized by the Swedish Kennel Club in 1907.

The Schiller Hound has been traditionally used as a sniffing dog, although some describe it as a hunting dog. The breed is known for both its speed and superior olfactory ability; able to quickly track its prey and then howl loudly when its master approaches, alerting of its position. It is a hardy dog that can tolerate the cold Swedish winters well.. Often, they work individually rather than in a pack and typically hunt rabbits and foxes. Even today, many dogs still work as hunters, although they are equally good household pets.

His dark brown eyes are bright and alert, set deep in your face. His medium-sized, high-set ears hang close to his face and do not extend beyond his lower jaw.. Its long and thin limbs are parallel and are surely one of the main reasons for its impressive speed; giving them a very long stride. Their body is rectangular in shape and they have a deep chest with a robust and solid back.. Its long, tapered tail should not be carried too high in the exhibition ring..

The shiny, straight coat of the Schillerstövare fits perfectly to his skin. The top coat is actually quite tough, although the shorter fur on his face and ears is softer to the touch. Predominantly tan in color, the coat also has a prominent black coat. Only small white spots are allowed on the coat. Their fur is expertly designed to protect them in icy weather conditions.

The Schiller Hound they will form a close bond with their family, and although they tolerate children well, require supervision when with younger children, as they can be quite disruptive.

Although it is not conventionally worked in packs of dogs, the Schiller Hound can socialize well with other dogs if given the opportunity. Of course, smaller animals are not safe in their company and are likely to be seen as little more than prey.

Health

Most members of the breed live into their teens and tend to be in good health.. There are a couple of conditions to consider when it comes to Schiller Hound:

Hip Dysplasia

Malformed hips result in an uneven gait, lifelong muscle loss and discomfort. Affected canines are treated with a variety of therapies, including physiotherapy, hydrotherapy and pharmaceutical pain relief. Prudent screening programs in adult dogs of breeding age may help reduce the overall incidence in the population. If a breeding-age dog gets a low hip score, must be neutered and removed from the kennel.

ear infections

The floppy ears of hunting dogs are a magnet for infections as they create moist environments inside the ear canal for bacteria and yeast to thrive.. Keeping the ears clear and dry can reduce the potential for infection.. If wax builds up, an ear cleaner should be used. Infections should not be allowed to become infected and should be treated as soon as they are noticed. Chronic and whiny infections can pose a real challenge to healing and make the dog very uncomfortable and unhappy while they persist.

The bone structure is well visible. The lateral faces are flat and the profile is square. The nasal ridge is visibly parallel to the long upper line of the forehead.. The skin, fine and abundant, forms deep wrinkles and folds on the forehead and cheeks that fall when the head is down and extend into the folds of the double chin, which is highly developed. In females, the skin is less abundant.

Very low implantation, at eye level or below, on the sides of the head, falling in funny folds, castled in and back (corkscrew).

Neck:

It is long, so that the dog can keep track of it while keeping the truffle on the ground. Well muscled; throat skin is loose and extremely developed, presented a double chin, although this is less pronounced in females.

Movement:

The judging of the marches, very typical of Chien de Saint-Hubert, it's extremely important. During the normal step, that is to say, the trot, the movement is uniform, steps provided; it is elastic and loose, covering more ground than any other hunting dog, and something that is very characteristic, with a balance, although not through. Hind limbs are directed well back, with good rear third drive. The amplitude of the movements of the forelimbs and hindlimbs is uniform and the upper line remains horizontal. The members move in parallel, but at a higher speed the feet get closer. The tail is high, Sabre-shaped, not too kinky though. The Chien de Saint-Hubert must be able to maintain a long trot without showing signs of fatigue.

Mantle

Flexible over the whole body, loose and elastic. Thin skin is very characteristic, very loose and abundant on the head. On the forehead and lateral faces of the muzzle, the skin forms hanging folds that are even more marked when the head is down. But, Very pronounced wrinkles and folds on the forehead and superciliary arches should never obstruct the eyes. Folds on the body caused by overly extended skin are undesirable.

Fur: On the body the hair is straight, short, dense, quite hard and resistant to inclement weather. Over the ears and head, it is very short and soft to the touch. The lower part of the tail has slightly longer and rougher hairs.

Color:

We can distinguish three colors in the fur:

the bicolor black and tan («black and tan»),
liver and fire («liver and tan»
solid red («red»).

In black and tan dogs, the black varies, depending on whether it is a blanket or a chair. In a dog with a blanket, black predominates; the fire (leonado), occurs only on the muzzle, cheeks, on top of the eyes, on the front of the thorax, in the limbs and in the perianal region. A dog with a chair has a more widespread tan color, since the black is more or less limited to the dorsal part. The same arrangements of color zones are present in bicolor liver and tan dogs.. Colors are not always well defined, nor clearly delimited. In the darkest parts, longer or badger hairs may be scattered. This mix of different color hairs is accepted. In unicolor dogs, red can vary from light to dark. Faded tan is not desirable in bicolor dogs, nor the faded red in single-colored dogs. Tolerated, although it is not favored, a little white on the front of the chest, on the fingers and the tip of the tail.
