Physical characteristics

The APBT (American Pit Bull Terrier) is a dog's size medium, males usually weigh in 16 to 30 kg and females in 13 to 25 kg. They are known for their value, intelligence, dedication and loyalty. They are of athletic constitution and their breeding focuses mainly on the character and performance of the functional dog..

Are advised to socialize with other dogs from puppies to make to adult aggression towards these minor.

Currently the breed is going through a difficult time due to bastardization with other breeds for commercial reasons where massive dogs are sought, deformed, with exaggerated heads or true color, by having more acceptance and one greater than the APBT quote pure. There has also been crossbreeding by neophyte breeders who have crossed pitbulls cigars with dogs of similar breeds and even with dogs without breed. In this case these mixtures are no longer American Pit Bull and therefore their behavior will never be the same as that of a pure blood.

The American Pit Bull Terrier is recognized only by two records, ADBA and UKC, unlike the latter, the ADBA has the largest number of copies due to its defence and promotion of the breed.

According to the standard the characteristics of the breed are as follows:

Head: an exaggerated head, It will simply make you excessive weight that reduced you functionality when it comes to any type of work. An APBT, for all purposes provided in the head, It must appear two-thirds the width of the shoulders and a 25% more bandwidth on their cheeks to neck to the base of the skull. From the rear part of the skull to stop, It must be the same distance from the stop to the tip of the nose. The snout will be straight and square shape. The depth from the top of the head to the bottom of the jaw is important. The mandible is closed by the temporal fossa muscle., the pressure you need the animal on the coronoide process. The head will be a form of wedge view up from or side, and when viewed from front is round. We do not accept dogs with long lip.

Eyes: The eyes are round, separated from each other and located in a low position.

Teeth: Supported the closure in scissors (preferred), tongs and mild prognathism. The most important thing in the teeth of an APBT, that addition, the official judges of this breed of dog is that are based on a review of the standard, These are the tusks, that must slip through senior behind the lower.

Nose: The nose is dependent on the color of the dog, If it is white it should be red nose, If it is gray the must have grey until the bottom lip.

Neck: The neck should strongly be muscular to the base of the skull.

Rear train: This is the driving train of any four-legged animal. One 80% the work of an APBT develops in her hips and hind legs. A hip long and steep is extremely important, because it will give more support point to the femur, and it must be shorter than the tibia. The hips should be wide. To be this way it will take with them a wide back area, thus allowing a large surface for the insertion of the gluteus and biceps femoris muscles, they are the largest engines of the Powertrain.

Front of: The dog must have deep ribs. They are wide above, narrowing towards the bottom of. The ribs are home to the lungs, which are not deposits, but pumps. The ribs act like a bellows. Its effectiveness is linked on the difference between the volume of contraction and expansion. The depth of ribs gives more room for larger lungs. The shoulders should be slightly wider than the ribs at the height of the eighth rib. Too narrow shoulders not aguantarรกn an appropriate muscle structure, but also a too wide shoulders structure slows the animal and added too much unnecessary weight. The scapula must be to 45 degrees or less angle to the ground, and this will be wide and flat. The elbows should settle levels, with the humerus in a path almost parallel to the spine. The elbow must come under your ribs. The forearm, it should be only slightly longer than the humerus and the humerus should be thick and solid, nearly twice the thickness of the metatarsals at the height of the Hock. The front legs and shoulders must be able to withstand a lot of work and the thickness of the same here can become a virtue.. The feet should be small and inserted high in the ranillas or trabaderas.

Tail: The tail will be inserted under; It must be long until a little before reaching the hocks. This has a thick to decline until the end. You must have form of crank when the dog is relaxed.

Mantle: The mantle can be of any color or combination of them. It should be short and strong. The luster of the mantle usually reflects the health of the APBT, vital sign.

Skin: It should be thick and loose, but not with folds, with the exception of the neck and chest, that should be loose enough to show some vertical folds.

Height to the cross: The height at the cross of males may vary between the 38 cm and the 48 cm., and in females, from the 35 cm. up the 45 cm..

Weight: Despite what many people believe, the APBT they are a small canine breed, at most medium, finding the weight of the males may vary between the 16 kg and the 28 kg, and the females from the 13 kg to the 27 kg. One can have an exemplary pure APBT that although three or four kilograms above these weights, but of course he would have to be fat.

General aspect: The APBT should be square seen from side, the distance from the shoulder to the point of hip to be equal to the distance of the shoulder to the ground. The animal high step and will have a maximum point of their body weight support.

Affenpinscher History

Type dogs Affenpinscher They are known since about 1600, years. At that time, they were somewhat bigger. Images Affenpinscher set in sixteenth-century German paintings

It's name derives from the German Affe (monkey). The race is ancient and prior to the Griffon Bruxellois and Miniature Schnauzer.

The race was created to be a buzzard, working to eliminate rodents from kitchens, barns and stables.

The first draft of the standard is from 1908 and it is not until the year 1913 when the first official standard is recognized.

Did you know??

Sometime in the 18th or early 19th century, someone had the brilliant idea to raise the Affenpinscher in reduced size, allowing him to become a popular pet by becoming a companion to the ladies.

Physical Characteristics of the Affenpinscher

One Affenpinscher, generally, weights from 2,9 to 6,0 kg and measures of 23 to 30 centimeters tall. It has hard and rough hair, which make him look like a monkey (hence its name, because Affe means monkey in german). Its coat is coarse on the head and shoulders forming a mane, with a lower layer on the front and rear quarters.

The FCI and KC of breed standards, specifies that the layer of hair should be black, but the AKC also allows other colors like gray, Silver, black and tan, and beige (a mixture of Brown, black and white red hairs); other clubs have their own lists of acceptable colors, but black is preferential.

Character and skills

They have a character other than what we associate with Terrier. They differ from Terrier how they tend to get along with other dogs and pets. They are active, adventurous, curious and stubborns, but also cheerful and playful. Because they are affectionates with the family members, the protection is a must to whom they love. It is necessary that, they have a clear education, coherent, if not, you can be very difficult. The training must be varied because the dog can get bored easily.

The Affenpinschers they are somewhat territorial when it comes to their toys and food, That's the reason they are not recommended for younger children. This dog is very quiet, but it can become very aggressive if it feels attacked or threatened and does not show fear towards any aggressor.

Their life expectancy is around twelve years , is a typical life cycle of a purebred dog, but slightly shorter than most breeds its size.

Observations

During moulting it lost much hair, so it is advisable to a good brushed daily and a good diet. The better the quality of the best food will be the State of the fur of your dog. A diet low in fat, salts, iodine, Vitamin B, will result in dryness and hair loss.

The Affenpinscher it is a delicate dog that often suffers from intestinal problems.

Affenpinscher Health

All dogs have the potential to develop genetic health problems, just as all people have the potential to inherit a particular disease. Run, do not walk, from any breeder that does not offer a health guarantee on puppies, to tell you that the breed is 100 percent healthy and has no known problems, or tell you that your puppies are isolated from the main part of the home for health reasons. A reputable breeder will be honest and open about the breed's health problems and the incidence with which they occur in their lines..

The monkeys it is a fairly healthy small breed, but individual dogs can develop orthopedic problems like dislocated kneecaps, a common knee condition in small dogs. Affen are also prone to skin conditions that can lead to flank hair loss..

Not all of these conditions are detectable on a growing puppy, and it is impossible to predict if an animal will be free of these diseases, so you must find a trusted breeder who is committed to raising the healthiest animals possible. Must be able to produce independent certification that the dog's parents (and grandparents, etc.) have been examined for common defects and considered healthy for breeding. That's where health records come in..

Don't fall for the lies of a bad breeder. If the breeder tells you that you do not need to do these tests because you have never had problems in your lines, Your dogs have been "vet checked", or any of the other excuses bad breeders give for skimping on genetic testing of their dogs, leave immediately.

Careful breeders screen their breeding dogs for genetic diseases and breed only the healthiest, best-looking specimens., but sometimes Mother Nature has other ideas and a puppy develops 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 they died of.

Remember that after you have welcomed a new puppy into your home, has the power to protect you from one of the most common health problems: the obesity. Keep a Affenpinscher with a proper weight is one of the easiest ways to prolong your life. Make the most of your preventive skills to help ensure a healthier dog for life.

History ยซAlaska Malamuteยป

Also called Alaskan Malamute, Dog is a native of the Arctic, and one of the oldest breeds in the sled dogs.

It's a dog with a strong appearance, strong, with good musculature. It is capable of carrying significant weight (until 20 kg) for tens of kilometres. This is a very ancient race, from the first races of sled dogs.

The Mally He was raised by a tribe of Inuit call mahlemiut. The meaning of the word mahle is unknown, But it is known that MIUT means "people of". Mahlemiut as Mahle people can therefore be interpreted. Following the English phonetics, the diction is then transformed into Malamute.

The area inhabited by the people of the Malamute were the banks of the Kotzebue Sound, a territory between two great rivers: the Kobuk and the Noatak. Men and women of the tribe of the mahlemiut (MALAMUTE) they were highly prized amongst other inuit tribes for their courage, his pride and his skill in hunting and fishing.

These dogs were famous for their beauty and for their characteristics of strength and endurance., that made them excellent elements for shooting. They were, in general, larger and more powerful than the other Nordic dogs, with similar in appearance to the Wolf and large and soft tails carried on the back. Contemporary witnesses tell it between 1870 and 1880 approximately, caribou, for unexplained reasons, they changed their usual migratory routes, thus depriving the Malamute tribes of an important source of livelihood.

History

The Azawakh (Tuareg Sloughi), It is a breed of dog of the type "Short-haired sighthounds", native to africa. It is also known by other names: Hanshee, Oska, Rawondu, Bareeru, Wulo, Tuareg Sloughi.

This breed could be defined as a Sighthound African Afroasiatic model which appeared in Europe in the year 1970, from the middle basin of the Niger (Mali) and in particular of the Valley of the Azawakh. For centuries it has been the inseparable companion of sub-Saharan nomads.

Something curious is that the Azawakh possesses a rare allele of glucose isomerase (GPIB) It is produced only in foxes, jackals, Italian wolves, dogs Sloughi and other rare breed dogs not related to him Azawakh, and they are, mainly, in Japan.

Recent scientific studies of a genetic protein and the blood of Azawakh, added to archaeological studies and direct observation of packs, have thrown some ideas about the origin of the breed Azawakh contemporary. One of them says that, come from the stray dog โ€‹โ€‹population of sub-Saharan Africa, and, also among her ancestors is the Basenji and the Sloughi from the Maghreb. Despite the morphological similarities, mitochondrial DNA tests show that only very distantly, is related to other dogs.

As a whole, this evidence suggests that the dog population Azawakh count with one unique gene pool What, It has been kept pure, perhaps by having been largely isolated from the populations of other dog breeds, for thousands of years.

Physical characteristics

Its morphology is very similar to that of the Middle Eastern greyhound and some Indian hounds., Although there are several obvious differences. As for example, a very short and smooth mantle, nearly absent in the womb; and hind legs longer than the height with the front to the cross. Moves with a walk, clearly, feline and can be found in a wide variety of colors, in degraded, striped, Although the format is, basically, a solid color.

The Azawakh, is a slim dog, elegant and his eyes the color of almonds, give fair air of sweetness to your eyes.

His muscles are usually said, they are "dry", which means that they are very flat, Unlike in the Greyhound and the Whippet (they have showy, rounded muscle). In this sense (muscle), is more similar to the Saluki.

"Azawakh (Tuareg Sloughi)"

In Africa, a variety of colors are found in dogs Azawakh, How to be red, beige, blue, grey, and, black and blue rarely. As well, White machitas can be found in different colours (not many). Due to this color variation in the entire native population of Azawakh, the American standard used by the AKC and UKC allows for any combination of the colors found in Africa.

In United States, the standard of FCI It has been modified to have no restrictions on color. The colors allowed in the breed standard according to the FCI, These are sand or light to dark beige; brown, Red and striped (with or without, dark mask), with pechera whitetip, the tail and white on the legs (It can be on the tip of the toes or middle high). In the news, white stockings that go above the elbow joint is considered a disqualifying characteristic in France, as well as a white or half collar collar (the strong Irish).

The Azawakh It is a very good dog for hunting. They are very agile, and despite pretend fragility, they are very hardy dogs and are usually very fast curing injuries caused by their vigorous careers.

Similar to the Tibetan Mastiff (Do-Khy) and the Basenji, the dog Azawakh usually a zeal to the year. Y, so the puppies born healthy, the norm says that the animal should not be assisted in childbirth. The size of the litters tend to be of 4 to 6 Puppies, but it can have litters as small as a puppy and as large as eight.

Character and skills

The Azawakh, you need a fairly high level of exercise and be able to do regular runs in large indoor enclosures to expend energyโ€ฆ They often dig holes in the garden, if you feel bored or overflowing with energy.

They are excellent training companions for runners and they are nearly impervious to heat. They withstand very high temperatures (typical of desert areas), temperatures that would kill any other greyhound...

The Azawakh that live in packs live and orient themselves in social forms of complex hierarchies. They have tremendous memories and are able to recognize each other after long periods of separation.. They are often found sleeping snuggled up to each other for warmth and company..

the Azawakh is lively, attentive, reserved and little sociable with strangers, with whom you can be aggressive if it feels threatened its integrity or that of his master. He is very affectionate with those to what he considers his friends. They need a master which will give them a firm but fair leadership education.

Unlike other Sighthounds, the main function of the Azawakh in his homeland is that of Protector and guardian of cattle (and people). They tend to develop an intense bond with their owner., Although they are very independent dog, Although very attached to their masters for all corporate.

Education

The Azawakhs they are proud and independent. They respond well to positive reinforcement techniques, But heavy-handed methods or punishments will make them shut down, resist or even be aggressive. But, with the right teacher who gives them the right motivation, learn quickly and easily.

The Azawakh it is a resistant dog that does not have a special predisposition to certain diseases.

But, due to its short coat and extreme thinness, not the best choice for people who live in humid or cold climates. In general, covering him with a dog coat or fleece can help maintain his body temperature when he is out in winter. Inside, you need a padded pad to rest your bony body.

Food

In Africa, the Azawakh share his masters' ration and get his share of the hunt after the hunt.

Historically, have been used to a low-protein, rice-based diet, millet and goat's milk. Thus, you are prone to digestive problems if you eat a large amount of protein-rich foods, as with many dog รขโ‚ฌโ€นรขโ‚ฌโ€นfoods.

The breeders of Azawakh recommend a diet with a 9% fat and a 22% protein. They also recommend 3-4 small meals a day, since the dog becomes gluttonous if he only eats once a day.

It also, this dog appreciates occasional servings of starchy food, like pasta and brown rice, as well as fruit and vegetables (bananas, carrots, etc.).

Last, critics who point to his thinness as a sign of malnutrition must understand that this dog is built for speed and cannot be fat. Standards call for thin skin stretched over a bony, muscular frame.

    The fur can be blue or silver, with stains of fire (or bronze) on the limbs and snout, or color sand clear or Griffon.

    Puppies are born black solid color and change color in three months.

    Observations

    It is a very robust breed of dog, that often has a high percentage of Diabetes Mellitus.

    What is Diabetes Mellitus?

    Diabetes is defined as a disorder in the metabolism of the hydrates of carbon, fats and proteins caused by a deficiency of insulin, It can be absolute or relative.

    Insulin is a hormone secreted in the beta cells of the pancreas, whose production allows to control blood sugar (blood glucose levels). Insulin deficiency causes a deterioration in the capacity of tissues to use nutrients, that translates into an increase of glucose in blood (Hyperglycemia).

    Diabetes is classified according to the disease in humans, that is to say, as type I and type II.

    The type I It is characterized by the destruction of beta cells, What determines the loss progressive and complete end of insulin secretion. Dogs suffering from Type I Diabetes Mellitus may have a sudden onset of symptoms due to the rapid loss of the ability to produce insulin.. These cases require insulinizaciรณn from the time of diagnosis and are called diabetics 1,811 (DMID).

    Other dogs may have a gradual loss of insulin secretion, that their beta cells will be destroyed with slow. These animals may have an initial period in which hyperglycemia is mild or easily controlled., in which case it's diabetic insulinoindependientes (DMIID), Although in the long term these dogs also need her.

    Diabetes Mellitus type II is a little more difficult to understand and is characterized by what we call "insulin resistance" and by "dysfunctional" beta cells. The secretion of insulin by these cells will be high, low or normal, but not enough to overcome the resistance to it in the peripheral tissues.

    Itร‚ยดs, to explain it in a graphic way, It is as if peripheral tissues do not obey the orders of the insulin or were not able to do what send it.

    Regarding the metabolism or synthesis of glucose, These dogs may have DMID or DMIID, that is to say, whether or not to require insulin depending on the extent of insulin resistance and the functional status of the beta cells in terms of their ability to produce and secrete the hormone in low amounts, normal or high.

    Dogs also recognizes a secondary diabetes, produced by a carbohydrate intolerance (glucose) due to the presence of a disease or a drug treatment that it antagonizes or counteracts the effects of insulin and can lead to the exhaustion of the beta cells of the pancreas with the appearance of diabetes insulinodependiente.

    The owners of diabetic dogs should be aware that the routine in the treatment with insulin and food has to be respected. Two fixed doses of insulin per day associated with a palatable food that always provides the same source and the same amount of starch, always run at the same time it can reduce the risk of hypoglycemia in diabetic dogs.

    In North America, area where the Australian Terrier is very popular, scientific research is being carried out on the incidence of this disease.

    Character and skills

    The breed standard describes the ideal Australian Terrier temperament as an alert spirit., ยซwith the natural aggressiveness of a Buzzard and a Hunter of coverageยซ.
