History

The Westphalian Badger Dog was developed in the 17th century in Germany, in the region between the Rhine and the Weser. The result of the cross between the German Hound and various types of Dachsbrack, was created to satisfy the need for a fast dog, small and short, able to cut through bushes and chase prey into burrows. They were the favorite companions of the Germanic nobles, who were so appreciated for their ability to hunt hares, rabbits and foxes as per their friendly disposition.

It is mentioned in the official description of the German Hound in the decade of 1880, and a first standard was established in 1910. But, the breed was not recognized by the German Kennel Club until 1935, and then by the FCI in 1954.

The Westphalian Dachsbracke It, However, rare outside Germany. It also, among the main canine organizations in the Anglo-Saxon world, only the UKC recognizes this breed, and only from 2006.

Physical characteristics

The Westphalian Dachsbracke It is a small hound that measures between 30 and 38 cm at the withers and weighing about 15 kg. It seems to the German Hound, which is even considered a miniature version.

His coat is tricolor, combining black, red and white. White markings are found on the neck, the chest, the snout, paws and tail tip. Bi-color is not accepted. The coat is rough and very tight, medium length in the back, neck and back of the tail, but short in the rest of the body.

With a slightly elongated skull and a slightly accentuated stop, his head clearly evokes his kinship with the other double basses. His eyes are dark, while his ears, big and long, are flat against the head.

The tail, strong and tall at the base, is in perfect extension of the line of the back. It is carried out with a saber blade or hanging.

Character and skills

The Westphalian Dachsbracke he's a smart working dog, stubborn and tenacious who can follow the trail of prey over great distances without hesitation.

They are primarily hunting dogs that maintain an active temperament and a great need for exercise. This need must be met each day to prevent the dog's destructive behavior.. Live in an apartment, although it is not recommended, it is possible as long as the dog can take long walks at least twice a day. During these walks, it is strongly recommended to keep it on a leash, in case you smell prey that takes you off the beaten track. But, ideally it would have access to a garden.

In the home, although he is not the most docile of dogs, the Westphalian Dachsbracke shows a lot of attachment and affection for his master, family loyalty, and gets along very well with children. All these are qualities that make it a very pleasant companion dog.. But, requires a lot of interaction and availability, as he needs constant company and cannot be left alone for a whole day. Playtime and obedience or agility training can keep you busy, but nothing will make you happier than a hunting trip.

Finally, the Westphalian Dachsbracke tolerate other pets as long as they are exposed to your presence from a young age. Otherwise, his hunting instincts take over, and is capable of chasing and hurting them.

Education

Due to its firm character, the Westphalian Dachsbracke can be tough and stubborn in his upbringing. Some commands will take longer to assimilate than with other dog breeds. So, the master must act as the leader of the pack to be heard and obeyed, and under no circumstances allow him to take over the family hierarchy. So, It is clearly important not to be fooled by the small size of this dog and turn it into a "princess", at the risk of experiencing real cohabitation problems in the near future.

At the end, the Westphalian Dachsbracke must be trained early and firmly, while promoting the principles of positive dog training.

Health

The Westphalian Dachsbracke he is a robust dog, healthy and with a good life expectancy. But, their kinship to the Basset family explains why they are prone to back problems, ranging from muscle tension to degenerative disc disease.

It also, you have to be careful with his long and floppy ears, as they are sensitive to ear infections. In case of infection, the dog tends to shake its head and scratch its ear. Other signs are a bad smell and the development of redness around the ear canal.. An ear infection requires a visit to the vet and is treated with prescription medications..

Last, like any working dog, a Westphalian Dachsbracke that participates in hunting is more likely to be injured than a companion dog that is kept at home. But, in the heat of the moment, the dog tends to ignore pain, so it is often only after the owner notices lacerations or bites, for example.

Grooming

One to two weekly brushings are recommended to maintain the very tight and rough-textured coat of the Westphalian Dachsbracke. These dogs should rarely be bathed, since they deprive the coat of its natural oils.

The ears should also be visually inspected at least once a week and they should be dried after soaking in water to limit the risk of infection..

Last, the dog's teeth should be brushed regularly to reduce the risk of periodontal diseases and infections, that one day may require dental extractions.

History

Basenji dog sings 2

The Basenji It is a breed of dog originating from the Democratic Republic of the Congo.. It is a primitive breed used for hunting and tracking.

They have the unique characteristic of not barking, but they emit a curious sound in the style of >Tyrolean singing (Yodeling).

The stone Age images, as well as the tombs of ancient Egypt, already attest to the existence of this type of dog, who has survived the millennia: The Basenji is one of the oldest and most original breeds of dog. He's supposed to be a direct descendant of the Egyptian Testament – this is what dog experts call the dog form that has been handed down to us through Egyptian artwork from the fourth millennium B.C..

The Basenji comes from Central Africa, where he lived with village communities, but without having been specifically raised or having formed particularly close ties. Rather, they lived like ratcatchers. Often people also followed the hunting of the Basenjis to profit from the prey.. During famines the dogs were even slaughtered.

By the way, ยซBasenjiยป translated means ยซsmall wild bush animalยป. As early as the late 19th century some Basenjis arrived in Europe with African explorers. But, selective breeding did not begin until 1935 in Britain. Although the dog is native to Africa, Great Britain today has the patronage of the Basenji. From here the breed gradually spread to the rest of Europe.. In Germany, for example, enjoyed greater popularity from the years 70 of the 20th century.

Did you know??

The first Basenjis were red and white, tricolor (black and white fire) and black and white. Expeditions in Zaire 1987 and 1988 They introduced 14 dogs with new bloodlines, which brought a beautiful brindle look with tiger stripes.

There are some studies which point to the Basenji as progenitor of all Terrier.

Physical characteristics

The Basenji they are a small breed, elegant appearance, they have short hair, shiny and silky. Their ears are upright, and the tail coiled lead to perfection. Some people, they believe that its appearance similar to a deer in miniature.

They usually weigh 11 kg and the port tends to be of 40,6 cm., athletic and deceptively powerful for its size. Have a walk safe and elegant like a horse to trot.

Character and skills

Recommended for homes with adults. Although all life keeps a restless and playful spirit, When it ends its phase of growth becomes an excellent pet.

The Basenji is alert, loving, energetic, curious and reserved with strangers. It is a little distant, but it can also form strong ties with the people and can be emotionally sticking to a particular Member of the family, creating a very strong bond.

Generally does not get along well with other pets other than dogs. likes humid weather, they tend to be very skilled soaring. It can be described as fast, playful, tireless in the game, and naughty.

One of the curiosities that presents the race, In addition to not bark, It is that sule lick is the hair to be kept clean.

education

Like all dogs, the Basenji needs to be socialized from a young age. Meet lots of people (friends, neighbors, family…) allows you to get used to seeing strangers and become a sociable adult. The same goes for other dogs.: if you meet them often from their first months, the risks of dog fights during walks are reduced once he is an adult.

In his book Intelligence of Dogs (1994), Stanley Coren classifies the Basenji in the post 78 of 79 dog breeds for their intelligence… But, this is potentially a misunderstanding: the Basenji he understands very well what his owner wants from him, but is not really willing to meet your demands. In fact, shows a complete lack of interest in anything related to their education.

Like this, this extremely independent dog feels no need to please his master. Surely you understand what the command "sit" means?, but I may not see the point and, therefore, decide not to listen. Positive reinforcement methods have had some success, and a treat can be enough motivation, but even the most experienced trainers have a hard time getting them to listen. A novice is likely to be frustrated at being totally ignored despite their best efforts and may regret their choice..

At the end, it is usually the owner who has to adapt to the dog. These may include, people who live with a Basenji

Health

Although it is relatively robust and enjoys a respectable life expectancy (of 12 to 14 years), the Basenji is susceptible to several diseases of varying severity:

  • The Fanconi syndrome, that is not exclusive to this breed, but most of the dogs that suffer from this disease are Basenjis. It is a kidney problem that prevents the reabsorption of nutrients and is usually fatal in the long term.. Fortunately, there is a genetic test to detect carriers and prevent them from reproducing;
  • Colitis enteritis, an overpopulation of a certain type of bacteria in the colon, responsible for violent diarrhea, sometimes with blood;
  • Immunoproliferative intestinal malabsorption, What, as the name reflects, prevents proper absorption of nutrients by the intestine. causes diarrhea, weight loss and can be fatal;
  • Hypothyroidism, a hormonal problem responsible for lethargy and weight gain;
  • Pyruvate kinase deficiency, an enzyme needed by red blood cells. The resulting anemia is often fatal.;
  • Hemophilia type B, a clotting problem that means that even a small accident can cause death;
  • Hernias, inguinal or umbilical, in which an internal organ passes through the abdominal wall, which can be very painful;
  • Eye problems, like the coloboma (a congenital malformation of the retina), progressive retinal atrophy (a degeneration of the eye tissues that leads to vision loss) or the persistence of the pupillary membrane (an abnormality of the eye that usually does not greatly affect vision);
  • Hip Dysplasia, a problem in the hip joint that can cause varying degrees of motor difficulties.

But, the main cause of death in this breed is age (30% of the cases), according to a survey by the British Kennel Club and the British Small Animal Veterinary Association.

It also, behavior problems, although they are not usually related to a disease, but they are simply the result of ignorance of the characteristics and needs of the breed by the owner, make many Basenjis be euthanized every year.

Last, it should be noted that, as it happens with other primitive dogs, the females of Basenjis they only go into heat once a year. Most litters are born between October and December.

Life expectancy

12 to 14 years

Grooming

Although it is very difficult to train, the Basenji it is an easy breed to care for.

A quick brushing of their short coat once a week is enough to remove dead hair.. But, they shed twice a year, and it may be helpful to switch to two or three times a week in the spring to deal with excess dead hair. This is much less necessary in the fall, when the moult is much less pronounced and may even go unnoticed.

It also, just like cats, this dog grooms itself. And since he doesn't like water, not one to come back dirty after jumping in puddles or rolling around in the mud. So, bathing your dog is rarely necessary.

But, as with any dog, the brushing session should be used to check and clean the eyes and ears to reduce the risk of infection.

It's also a good time to brush your dog's teeth, to avoid the accumulation of tartar and all the risks that this entails. Ideally, do it more often., even daily.

Last, wear and tear is usually enough to limit the claws of this especially active animal. But, if not and they start to get too long, it is necessary to do it manually with a dog nail clipper, to prevent breakage or injury.

Food

The Basenji not picky about food. But, since the shoes, smartphones and other magazines you can devour don't really meet your nutritional needs, it is necessary to provide daily industrial food for dogs. They must be of good quality to provide all the nutrients you need, but also adapted to their age, size and activity level.

Being a very active dog, the Basenjis are not prone to obesity problems. But, it is advisable to weigh your dog from time to time to ensure that he is not overweight. If you do, reducing his daily food intake and increasing the time he is allowed to go outside should solve the problem.

It also, like all dogs, must have fresh water available at all times.

For sale "Basenji"

The price of a puppy Basenji it's average 1000 euros for a male and 800 euros for a female.

whatever the place, the amount charged depends on the lineage from which it comes, of the prestige of the hatchery, but also of the degree of conformity of the individual with the standard of the breed.

You should only give your Norwegian quadruped a bath every few months to protect the dog's skin.. In this case, use a mild dog shampoo. Check your pet's eyes and ears regularly and clean them with an eye or ear cleaner if necessary.
