History

The Norwegian Hound was originally called Dunker, in honor of the Norwegian captain and breeder Wilhelm Conrad Dunker (1806-1860), who established the first breed standard in 1850. During the first half of the 19th century, there was a large population of hounds in norway, including various types used for hare hunting. Wilhelm Dunker seleccionó a los que tenían el sentido del olfato más agudo y los cruzó con un Sabueso Arlequín Ruso to produce a versatile hound, able to hunt rabbits and hares by smell rather than sight, and tough enough to withstand the harsh weather conditions of Norway.

In 1902 was founded the Norsk Harehundklub, a club dedicated to hounds. That same year the hounds were divided into two main groups, known today as Dunker y Hygenhounds. El primero era el más numeroso e incluía perros locales de todo el país, proporcionando una amplia y variada base de cría.

Aunque Noruega se vio menos afectada por la Segunda Guerra Mundial que otros países europeos, the demand for these dogs dropped dramatically, which made it difficult for the breeders to continue their work properly. As a result, el número de especímenes disminuyó significativamente.

After the conflict is over, the Dunker regained some popularity and was officially recognized by the Fédération Cynologique Internationale (FCI) in 1956.

However, this bounce was only short lived: lost ground again from the decade of 1970, debido a la competencia de las razas extranjeras de perros de caza importadas al país.

Things did not improve much in the 80, to the point that inbreeding problems began to appear. In fact, the decline in its population led many breeders to resort to inbreeding to continue breeding. This led to a high rate of congenital deafness.. For this reason, in 1987, el comité de cría del Norwegian Hound asked the Norsk Kennel Klubb (NKK), the reference canine organization in Norway, permission to cross the Dunker with other races, but they denied it. However, how things did not improve much, the NKK finally gave his approval for some crosses two years later. This resulted in a more varied and healthy genetic makeup, manteniendo al mismo tiempo los rasgos característicos de la raza.

The United Kennel Club (UKC) recognized it in 1996. However, the other American reference organization, the American Kennel Club (AKC), no ha hecho lo mismo hasta el día de hoy – nor does the neighboring Canadian Kennel Club (CKC) or the prestigious British Kennel Club (KC). In fact, at the global level, recognition of the breed is still quite partial.

It's the same for broadcast. Incluso en los demás países escandinavos, is almost absent, with the exception of Sweden, where the Svenska Kennelklubben registra cada año un número de nacimientos que puede contarse con los dedos de una mano, compared to around twenty in the early nineties. In France, no se hizo ni una sola inscripción en el Libro de los Orígenes Franceses (LOF) during the first two decades of the 21st century.

In Norway, el número de Dunkers recorded each year in the NKK has been around 150 since the mid-decade 2000. However, esto marca una reducción a la mitad del número comparado con el cambio de los años 90. Este número limitado se explica en parte por el problema de sordera presente en esta raza: almost the 75% of its population suffers from deafness.

Character and skills “Norwegian Hound (Dunker)”

The Norwegian Hound is a fast and tenacious hunter with an above-average olfactory ability. They excel particularly in hunting hare and rabbit.

Being also gentle, loving, cheerful and friendly, tienen todas las cualidades requeridas para ser un excelente perro de compañía. Equilibrados, patients, tolerant and devoid of aggressiveness, they are very good playmates for children. However, it is important to note that a dog should never be left alone with a small child without adult supervision, and this applies to all races.

His total lack of aggressiveness and his attraction to humans, even for those you don't know, make it totally impossible to use as a guard dog. In effect, not reserved at all, shy, fearful or aggressive with strangers, rather they tend to welcome them positively and trust them. They are more likely to greet a malicious person with curiosity and licking them rather than barking to warn their master or make them understand that they better go their way.

His sociability extends to other dogs too. Therefore, it is quite possible to share a house with a dog companion without fearing that conflict situations will multiply, and is generally friendly with those he meets on his walks.

With cats and other animals, things are a little more complicated. His hunting instinct naturally leads him to chase any small furry animal that is not part of the canine species.. Although he has grown up with him and must consider his little companion as a member of the family and not as a potential prey, risk can never be ruled out, so it is better to avoid such cohabitation. As for those that can be found on your walks, you probably want to chase them. Therefore, it is preferable to keep it on a leash during excursions, to avoid any accident.

In any case, el miedo a que persiga a otros animales no significa que no debas sacarlo lo suficiente cada día, sabiendo que necesita mucha actividad para gastar su gran energía. Need at least 45 minutos de ejercicio al día, but his stamina makes him happy to go further if given the chance. What's more, es preferible variar los placeres para permitirle gastar plenamente su energía: long walks, run through the park, sports with dogs, etc. Sports that require running (like canicross) and those that appeal to your senses (like tracking) they are the most recommended. In fact, este perro es muy feliz cuando tiene que movilizar sus capacidades físicas y mentales. In any case, in addition to allowing you to exercise, all these activities reinforce the relationship with his master, which is especially important if you are hearing impaired.

From the above it follows that the Dunker not suitable for an elderly or very sedentary person, que no podría darle todo el ejercicio que necesita. The ideal for him is a master of sport, and willing to take his partner in his various activities. Retirees may be right for him, if they are active enough.

In any case, life in the city is not ideal for him, that needs large spaces to fully develop. Una casa con un jardín en el campo es un ambiente mucho más apropiado para vivir. However, es importante asegurarse de que el jardín esté bien cercado y que el entorno sea seguro, as his instincts and hunting instincts soon lead him to follow leads and flee.

Once your need for exercise is satisfied, the Norwegian Hound has an easy and docile character; is far from being as stubborn as many hunting dog breeds. However, your sense of smell can make training difficult, as he is easily distracted by a scent and not really responsive to his master's commands.

Their propensity to bark can also be quite annoying. Es particularmente propenso a hacerlo si su amo está lejos por mucho tiempo sin haberle dado ningún ejercicio de antemano y sin tener los medios para hacerlo por sí mismo. In fact, inactivity can be a burden and cause those behavior problems, así como destrucción, for example. However, as long as you have something to take care of in the absence of your family, not the type of dog that suffers a lot from separation anxiety.

Education “Norwegian Hound (Dunker)”

Like all the other hounds, the Norwegian Hound must be socialized from an early age. In other words, so that he becomes a balanced adult and has no trouble finding his place, should be given without delay a maximum of opportunities to meet all kinds of humans (veterinary, neighbors, delivery man, etc.), Other animals, but also to face various noises, smells and situations. Esto es aún más importante ya que se distrae fácilmente con su sentido del olfato.

The rules established in your education should also be taught to you from an early age, when your ability to learn and docility are at their best. Como con cualquier raza, los malos hábitos se adquieren rápidamente cuando todavía es un cachorro y se convierten en verdaderos problemas cuando crece.

In any case, the Dunker it is a breed of dog that is easy to train and that listens to its master, as long as he uses a dog-friendly training method. Treatments generally prove to be very effective in positively reinforcing your good deeds and facilitating learning. However, sometimes it is necessary to show firmness and affirm your own authority to prevent this dogged dog from doing what he pleases. También puede ser difícil conseguir su atención, given their tendency to be distracted by their sense of smell.

Since it has a strong inclination to follow its nose and to chase passing small animals, Teaching your dog to call back is especially important to avoid the risk of a frantic tug on the leash or running away if it moves freely.

También puede ser útil tratar de enseñarle a canalizar su propensión a ladrar. However, as it is deeply ingrained in him, should not be expected to be the calmest of dogs. If it is impossible to make him understand that some things do not necessarily require him to bark, at least he can be taught to stop on command.

Last, if the dog is deaf from birth, as is the case with a significant fraction of the representatives of the breed, the master must obviously adapt to this restriction: el entrenamiento de un perro sordo no se hace de la misma manera que el entrenamiento de otro perro que es capaz de oír la voz de su amo. La confianza es entonces aún más crucial en la relación entre el animal y su amo, para que pueda aprender y vivir en buenas condiciones a pesar de su minusvalía. Of course, communication is then done through non-verbal communication, y depende del maestro adoptar un lenguaje corporal explícito, basado en gestos y mímicas precisas, específicas para cada indicación que desee dar.

Health “Norwegian Hound (Dunker)”

The Norwegian Hound is very resistant, generally have excellent health and very good longevity.

Used to living in harsh Norwegian weather, pueden tolerar el frío y la humedad sin dificultad. Their coat is naturally waterproof and offers good protection from the elements. On the other hand, shows some intolerance to high temperatures, even if it is able to adapt to a Mediterranean climate. You simply need to lighten up your activities during hot flashes, or at least privilege those that are carried out inside, para asegurarse de que siempre tiene acceso a un lugar a la sombra o incluso al aire acondicionado y evitarle cualquier ejercicio físico demasiado intenso en las horas más calurosas.

Its small population and its limited diffusion prevent a very important deterioration of health, but it has been shown that it is predisposed to certain problems:

  • deafness, what is a hereditary disease. Según la Fundación Ortopédica para los Animales (OFA), almost the 75% de la población de la raza es hoy en día sorda en al menos uno, si no ambos oídos;
  • hip dysplasia, a joint malformation that may be characterized by a hereditary predisposition. Puede causar dolor en las articulaciones así como dificultades para moverse;
  • Elbow dysplasia, which can also be favored by a hereditary predisposition. It is painful and leads to difficulty moving and the development of osteoarthritis;
  • progressive retinal atrophy, a hereditary and incurable eye disease. Causes loss of night vision first, then loss of daytime vision, to the point that the dog becomes totally blind;
  • Demodecic scabies, a contagious parasitic disease that causes itching and true discomfort to the dog, gradually losing appetite and sleep;
  • ear infections (otitis, etc.), due to its hanging shape.

    • What's more, individuals used for hunting are exposed to the various risks associated with this activity: wounds, parasites, thorns, etc.

    What's more, the Dunker has a strong appetite. How it is usually active, this is not usually a problem. However, if it is not, soon becomes overweight.

    Given the hereditary conditions to which the breed is predisposed, the breeder's work plays a decisive role in the adoption of a Norwegian Hound that he is in perfect health and that he will probably remain so. In addition to the results of genetic tests performed on the parents and the puppy to reduce the risk of such diseases, every serious and responsible breeder must be able to present a certificate of good health established by a veterinarian, así como documentos relativos a las vacunas administradas.

    What's more, cuando el perro es pequeño y aún está creciendo, your bones and joints are particularly fragile: therefore, debe evitarse cualquier ejercicio físico demasiado intenso o prolongado, ya que podría pagarlo un día u otro, with potentially permanent sequelae (malformations, etc.).

    Last, it is necessary to consult a veterinarian at least once a year to ensure that the dog is in good health or, on the other hand, para poder detectar lo antes posible cualquier problema cuyos síntomas no sean todavía visibles. This health check is also an opportunity to carry out your immunization reminders, which are another essential lever to keep the dog in good health. Aún en el registro de prevención, it is the owner's responsibility to renew the antiparasitic treatments whenever necessary throughout the year, so your partner is never unprotected.

    Cuidados y mantenimiento “Norwegian Hound”

    A tough breed, the Norwegian Hound do not require much maintenance.

    However, they lose a lot of hair, así que cepillarse el pelo dos veces por semana no es demasiado para ayudar a eliminar los pelos muertos y mantenerlo en buen estado. Durante sus períodos de muda en primavera y otoño, when it should be done more often (even daily) to prevent hair growth throughout the house.

    Since his hair is not very dirty and therefore does not have a strong odor, bathing him two or three times a year is generally sufficient. In any case, a too frequent bath will make the sebum naturally present on the skin disappear, que la aísla y la protege de los elementos. Having said that, do not hesitate to give him a bath if he has gotten very dirty, for example during a particularly muddy hunting trip. In any case, sólo se puede utilizar un champú especialmente diseñado para perros, at the risk of damaging your skin.

    Dunker
    Dunker

    The oídos, on the other hand, require special attention, since its hanging shape implies an increased risk of infections (ear infections, etc.). Deben ser limpiados cada semana con un paño húmedo o un producto de limpieza especialmente diseñado para este fin. También deben secarse después de cada baño o de un largo período de tiempo en un lugar húmedo.

    Their eyes también deben ser examinados semanalmente y limpiados si es necesario con un paño húmedo.

    It is also necessary to brush the teeth de su perro cada semana o incluso cada día para evitar la formación de placa dental y sus posibles consecuencias (bad breath, diseases, etc.). A toothpaste specially designed for dogs should always be used.

    What's more, it is important to regularly check your dog's claws to make sure they are not getting too long and to trim them if this is the case. Esto no sólo podría dificultar su andar, sino que también podría romperse y potencialmente lesionarse al mismo tiempo. Having said that, while you're active and spending long hours outdoors, natural wear and tear is usually enough to file them.

    To know how to proceed during maintenance sessions, es útil beneficiarse de la experiencia de un veterinario o un peluquero la primera vez. In fact, whether the various procedures for grooming the coat, the ears, the eyes, your pet's teeth or claws are not done properly, not only will satisfactory results not be obtained, but the owner may even injure or injure his pet. What's more, the owner should get used to his pet very soon, so that throughout his life he accepts to be manipulated without being rebellious.

    What's more, when your pet returns from a long time in the wild, it is a good idea to systematically take a little time to inspect it carefully: parasites, spikes or dirt may have gotten into their fur, and may also have been injured.

    ¿Que precio tiene un “Norwegian Hound”

    In Norway, a puppy Dunker It costs around 7000 Norwegian crowns (a few 650 EUR). El precio de venta varía de un individuo a otro dependiendo del prestigio de la cría, el linaje del perro y sus características intrínsecas.

    Since the breed does not have a wide international distribution, es casi imposible encontrar un criador de la misma fuera de su país de origen.

    Therefore, whether you are in France, Belgium, Switzerland, Canada or elsewhere, who wants to adopt a Norwegian Hound you must opt ​​for the import solution.

    History

    The Dogo Canario It is a classic moloso. Es la descendencia de un antiguo y en esta forma antigua sólo se encuentra raramente en Europa Central hoy en día. It has many names: Presa Canario, Perro de Presa, Perro de Toro, Alano o Presa Canario. Dogs of the current type Dogo Canario existían todavía hace 200 years everywhere. They were the old saupackers, bear teethers, guard dogs, butcher dogs, the ancestors of the current great danes, bulldogs, boxers and mastiffs. They are extremely strong and bulky dogs, que aún hoy se resumen como molosos. Ya fueron criados en la antigüedad y siempre han sido muy apreciados. They were used on large farms, with livestock herds or for example on merchant ships such as guard and protection dogs, sirvieron como perros de pastoreo y como perros de caza para jabalíes u osos. They served rulers like Hammurabi as war dogs, they had them carved in stone in full recognition does 3700 years.

    Due to its strength, courage and determination, have been used as fighting dogs in the arenas of animal fighting since Roman times. Molossians have a commanding head with a rather short snout and long lips.. The ears are usually worn hanging. Según las tradiciones de la antigüedad en palabras e imágenes, las principales características del moloso han permanecido esencialmente iguales durante miles de años, pero en los últimos siglos y especialmente debido a la moderna cría de perros, the classic type of molosser has been lost to some extent. In extreme cases strange shapes have been bred with many extremely short folds or snouts such as bulldogs or giants like him Great Dane or the Mastiff. The Dog is still raised in his homeland only for his performance at work.

    Therefore, chances are that the Dogo Canario todavía personifique el tipo Molosoide como era común en los viejos tiempos. It is clearly recognized as trotting, pero no sufre de exageraciones cultivadas de ninguna característica o rasgo corporal. Sólo se puede esperar que siga siendo así. Unfortunately, breeders are very much at odds with Dogo Canario. They haven't even managed to agree on a name and a registry office. Since 1991 has been officially considered as “The Canary Presa Dog” entre los símbolos naturales de las Islas Canarias. Meanwhile in 2001 the Spanish Ministry of Agriculture recognized these dogs as a national breed also under the name of Dogo Canario, the same dogs were then provisionally recognized as Dogo Canario by the world federation FCI in 2001 and finally in 2011. Other names are Perro de Presa y Alano. Alano It is an old word that means Great Dane.

    Physical characteristics

    The Dogo Canario, Perro de Presa, Perro de Toro, Alano o Presa Canario – all designations for the same four-legged friend – he is an elegant dog that radiates athletic power. He is an athletic, muscular, alargado pero sin embargo típico moloso.

    The skull-muzzle ratio is approximately 6:4. The upper lip rests a little flaccidly on the lower one. The eyes, medium-sized, they are oval and hazelnut, the ears, high, they are separated from each other and are shaped like a button; únicamente se las amputa para recordar su función original de perro de combate. The neck, long and muscular, shows a slight dewlap. The tail is implanted high: thick at the base, is tuned to the extreme. El vientre está retraído, pero las últimas costillas destacan sólo ligeramente, giving a harmonious harp shape. Limbs are sturdy, muscular and perfectly plumb; angulation of the hind limbs is not very marked.

    The difference between male and female bulldogs desired by the FCI standard is therefore unnaturally large. In any case, desires of this standard for outward appearance should not be taken so seriously.

    Because fortunately this originally preserved dog breed, robust and healthy has set its standard “por sí misma”, more exactly for their performance at work, and has kept it in the practice of life until today. People, que ahora quiere ponerlo en un estándar de la cría moderna de perros con pedigrí, don't even agree to the principle, as we can see in its history of the breed. La cría moderna de perros con pedigrí no le ha hecho bien a ninguna raza de perro, both in terms of health and character. In old times, the Bulldog fitted with pleasure to the ears, de modo que éstas sobresalían hacia arriba. This is now prohibited. Hoy en día muestran grandes orejas colgantes hacia abajo.

    • Fur: short, without Undercoat, pretty hard.
    • Color: leonado or atigrado. The tabby specimens have a wide range of colors, desde los muy oscuros hasta un gris claro de tono bastante frío.
    • Size: males, of 61 a 66 cm.; females, of 57 a 62 cm..

    Character

    The Dogo Canario is a quiet dog, equilibrado y seguro de sí mismo. He is a powerful and defensive athlete who can show his performance at any time. Like all molossi, he is extremely kind, tiene nervios fuertes y un alto umbral de estímulo. However, está más ansioso por moverse y no tan letárgico como la mayoría de los molosos criados hoy en día sólo como compañeros. One Dogo Canario well socialized is friendly to people who know and like children. It is very sociable. Towards strangers is at first a little distant without fear. He is an incorruptible guardian, intrépido y protector de su familia sin ser agresivo por sí mismo. The FCI standard describes the character desired by the breed:

    Calm appearance; alert look. It is especially suitable as a watchdog… Su temperamento es equilibrado y tiene mucha confianza en sí mismo. Deep barking. He is docile and kind to his family members and with strong ties to his master, but you may suspect strangers. Un comportamiento seguro de sí mismo, elegant and somewhat distant. When you are alert, his attitude is confident and alert.

    It must be added that the Dogo Canario rarely barks. But if it barks once, it's pretty awesome.

    Fitness

    The Dogo Canario is undemanding in terms of external conditions. Of course: un pequeño apartamento en la gran ciudad no sería óptimo para su actitud. But other than that it's easy to maintain. It is also a working dog, a guard, a driver, un perro de caza para la caza de jabalíes. The Dogo Canario it is suitable as a family dog ​​only on the condition that it is well socialized, bien educado y físicamente en forma. You also have to take into account a fact: It is considered a “dangerous dog” en muchos países.

    The Dogo Canario can be trained well, pero aún no es un perro para principiantes. It is intelligent, very sociable and eager to work. But at the same time he is very powerful and assertive. In case of doubt, always the strongest end of the strap. Therefore, su amo o cuidador no debe dejar dudas sobre su papel de líder y esto sobre la base de la autoridad natural. Entonces este perro dejará gustosamente el papel principal a sus bípedos sin reservas. But it must be filled. The Dogo Canario it is even suitable for demanding tasks such as training as an assistance or protection dog. El requisito básico es que provenga de un criador serio y que ya haya sido socializado allí.

    History “Spanish dogo”

    Los perros de presa entraron en la península ibérica acompañando a las tribus de bárbaros allá por el siglo IV; Swabians, Vandals and Alans they were guarding their livestock and transhumant with this type of dog camps.

    A lo largo de la historia estos animales se emplean en distintas funciones con un denominador común; his instinct for hunting and dam as a tool at the service of hunting; management of livestock; guardianship and custody of properties; dog of war; etc.

    Kings, feudal lords, mercenaries, butchers, livestock, and even bullfighting, hacen de estas estirpes un referente importantísimo en la historia de nuestro país, alcanzando su mayor apogeo durante el periodo denominado “romanticismo español”. The historical references are so numerous as diverse. En función de sus características morfológicas se emplearían para unos menesteres u otros; los perros más ligeros y de tipología más corredora se utilizaban para la caza mayor, y los más corpulentos y cabezones se empleaban en labores que requerían más potencia o fuerza de parada que resistencia. Where, como y cuando comienza a seleccionarse sistemáticamente hacia una u otra tendencia y bajo uno u otro nombre es algo difícilmente descifrable. Entonces se hablaba de “tipos” -el concepto de raza es mucho más moderno en materia canina-; y bajo ese concepto de “tipo” coexistían distintas morfologías con determinados rasgos comunes. Las denominaciones más genéricas de este “tipo” han venido siendo “alanos”; “presas”;“dogos”; “perros de toros”; “alanos carniceros”; “chatos”; etc.

    Sometimes referring to specific differential features called them in one way or another, and other times of generically under the same concept to different varieties. Una clasificación “taxonómica” actual de estos perros atendiendo a los referentes históricos, sería un anacronismo de difícil solución zootécnica.
    Encontramos descripciones centenarias –como la del “Libro de la Montería”- que bajo el mismo concepto de “Alano” mete al tipo ligero para las monterías haciendo mención a otra variedad más pesada para el agarre de ganado.

    Videos "Spanish dogo"

    Pero también encontramos argumentos y referencias que respaldan diferencias morfológicas y funcionales entre estos “presas”; véase la descripción de “Dogo” por la Real Academia de la lengua Edición del Siglo XX; The distinction by the Royal Canine society of Spain in 1911 entre “presa español” en su faceta de guarda y utilidad y el “Alano” en el grupo de rastro y montería; la medalla con la inscripción “Dogo de Burgos” del año 1625 ; documented deliveries of indigenous British Bulldogs and Italians, etc.

    Therefore, lejos de escudriñar sobre cuestiones etimológicas o lingüísticas no exentas de ambigüedades en ocasiones, We focus on the constructive process, that is none other that history with all its variability of types reconciled, con la realidad presente del concepto “raza”, which requires adjustment to more defined patterns.

    Under this purpose is born the project for the recovery of the Spanish dogo; que englobaría al tipo de alano o presa más pesado y corpulento de nuestra península.

    ¿Por qué unificar bajo la denominación de “Dogo”? It was to use a name that meet a series of requirements:

      1. Having historic endorsement in number and significance of reference
      2. Nombre genérico e identificable con estas morfologías
      3. Avoid controversial connotations related to endangerment
      4. Avoid localisms or allusion to obsolete or too restrictive functions

    Resultado de todo ello la denominación de “Dogo” es la que mejor engloba el concepto de “molosser Iberian”.

    Contamos con la definición de “Dogo” por la Real Academia de la lengua; our Dogos influenced directly or indirectly the rest of related breeds; existen manifiestos de la Corona de Aragón para el envío de Dogos Españoles a Nápoles; el Gobernador de Cuba refiere la entrega de “presas españoles” a la armada británica para el control de cimarrones; they exported extensively to England; en Alemania recrearon al extinto “bullesbeizer” a través del Boxer cruzando un bulldog con una perra de presa llamada “Flora” de clara ascendencia hispana; basta mirar los primeros Boxers de finales del XIX para ver el parecido de la raza germana de aquel periodo con nuestros rústicos chatos autóctonos.
    El número de referencias es incontable.

    • 2. Orígenes del proceso de recuperación del Spanish dogo

    In the Decade of the 80, con el inicio de la recuperación del Alano ya se contempla la existencia de distintas tipologías y tendencias. Entonces se utilizaban los términos “tipo, línea o tendencia ganadera” Vs “tipo cazador” como etiqueta diferencial.

    La fusión de “Alans or dams” con perros “villanos” del terreno, -perros ligeros de pastoreo y corte lupoide – daba un híbrido polivalente que conservaba el atavismo de los perros de agarre, but with the spark and resistance of the shepherds. De ahí nace el “Villain of the Encartaciones”, a derivative of the Alano in its lightest version.

    The Spanish Alano se estandariza orientando su selección hacía un tipo intermedio. The process concludes with the official recognition of the breed in the year 2003 on the part of the Royal Canine Society of Spain.

    In short the basic trends on a bipolar scale we find the following picture:

      1º/ Por un lado morfología ligera de estructuras más corredoras y descargadas;

      2º/ En el polo opuesto las tipologías más corpulentas y braquicéfalas;

      3º/ Y entre ambos extremos, a majority and consolidated intermediate type.

    Los tipos “corridor” e “intermediate” estarían representados por “Villains” y “Alans” respectivamente; leaving uncovered the most molosser niche of the scale.

    Era de justicia desvincular por primera vez desde principios de siglo pasado a nuestros “presas más corpulentos” de su matriz alánica, y hacerlo no bajo la restricción que imprime una “tendencia”, But reconciling the idiosyncrasies of this type with the concept of current race. Any trend that takes body and prominence is likely to empower low-status of race; It is just a matter that under the right circumstances: having genetic material; references historical; and above all with a coordinated group willing to redirect selection facilitate this work.

    With the recovery of the Alano era previsible el tributo que pagarían los tipos extremos; marginalized to a purely testimonial presence in directly proportional relationship to the fixing of the intermediate alano. Bajo este panorama nuestros últimos reductos de “Dogos” se verían abocados a su extinción como raza potencial o en el mejor de los casos relegados a tendencia dentro de la moderación impuesta por el estándar del Alano.

    Afortunadamente seguían naciendo individuos en este tipo en las camadas de alanos. We have continued to use some breeders as players occasionally, and if only it were looking for complementarity, esos genes han seguido ahí. Otros criadores –mención especial a Francisco Rincon– han tenido la valentía no solo de seguir utilizando Alanos en esta tendencia, but do so looking for fix this type rather than complement it. Gracias a esto el proyecto de recuperación del “Spanish dogo” partiendo de la base genética del “Alano” es una realidad.

    Physical characteristics

    One of the most controversial issues in mapping out the path and targets in selection, It is to be clear where it started and where we are going; define that niche is covered with this project, and do it with its own identity, trying to converge as little as possible with the rest of related breeds. Our Dogo se encuadraría entre el the molossians of arenas and the molosoides group.

    More related with our races Spanish dogo indigenous, both by type and by junction, serían el Dogo Canario; the Alano Español; the Majorca Mastiff; the Dogue de Bordeaux; the Cane Corso; and the Bullmasfiff.

    Based on a thorough differential analysis of our standard project, We have our niche secured connection all them. Of echo, There is greater overlap between many terriers; bracoides; pastores y nórdicos –por citar unas familias- to enter our Spanish dogo and the rest of related.

    To see clearly where lie these differences, -otras como la expresión y la tipicidad son más difíciles de cuantificar- We took the average values of each racial pattern and vein results with our Spanish dogo. We will look at an example, that where could have some overlap in weight, There will be no size, or where any size won't be it in proportions; not to mention in expression and typicity although not easily described values.

    To this end we present the attached table offering average in those easier to obtain parameters values: sumando umbrales máximos y mínimos y dividiendo entre dos sacamos pesos y tallas medias de cada estándar. We do so only in males by simplifying data and observe such differences at a glance quickly.

    Delving into these differences, otras variables –como las líneas cráneo faciales; perímetros corporales como el cefálico y torácico; proportion of muzzle to skull; eye color; etc.,- vienen a dejar aún más claro cuál es nuestro nicho y lo hacen sin entrar en conflicto de competencia con respecto al resto de razas emparentadas.

    Character and aptitudes of the “Spanish dogo”

    The historical evidence make it clear that we have a purely functional breed. We have already referred to some of the work that played these dogs; en la tauromaquia para la suerte de “dogs the bull”; for management of livestock and hunting; as dog's force to the dam or grip of cattle; also as a dog guard or defense accompanied the armies. They had great prominence in America during the colonial period for the control of Maroons and the birth of much of the functional races of that continent: Cimarrón Uruguayo; Fila Brasileiro; perro de pelea cordobés and rear dogo argentino; antique American Bulldogss; dams of the Caribbean; etc.

    While it is true that society evolves and the times are changing, It is not less true that the potential of this group can bring much as working dog. We want that the Spanish dogo still a dog's working to the extent of their possibilities; obviously not to compete with pastors in agility or mondioring not with villains in a half marathon; las limitaciones estarán marcadas por sus propias características morfológicas. Pero pueden esbozarse unas pruebas mínimas encaminadas a evaluar parámetros relacionados con la potencia; arrojo and safety; cubrir unos requerimientos mínimos en cuanto al potencial físico; everything is a matter of to agree according to the reality of the project.

    Obviously if demand parameters that agility and resistance prevail, caeríamos en el error de converger hacia tipologías más livianas, de ahí lo complicado que resulta a veces trazar directrices en este sentido. It is not comparing ourselves to other breeds, fate of squeezing the maximum potential of our. If we have something clear who decided to give shape to this project, is that we do not want that our Spanish dogono se convierta en un mero “escaparate” bonito solo para recrear las reminiscencias de los antiguos perros de toro. Estos perros deben seguir siendo capaces de cumplir determinados requerimientos y hacerlo con la solvencia adecuada a su morfología.

    I have always defended the individual initiative of each owner, each breeder; the selection and therefore evolution or a breed standardization, It does not necessarily imply a collective effort of all and each of the owners and breeders; It is enough to encourage those who wish to engage one degree more do so and facilitate the improvement of the rest. It is not so much a question of obligation and requirement, sino de motivar a quienes quieran emplear sus energías en la mejora de la raza a través de su faceta funcional.

    Con un pequeño grupo de aficionados “motivados” en este sentido y trabajando buenos perros en beneficio de la colectividad, debe haber resultados tangibles a medio largo plazo que permitan ir diferenciándonos de otras agrupaciones de similar corte pero que sí han ido convirtiéndose en meros escaparates exagerados de lo que fueron. Para minimizar el peligro de este “deterioro” –entendiendo como tal la merma de sus prestaciones ancestrales en pro de espectacularidad sin más-, the breed Club can play an important role in this regard.

    Se puede negociar a nivel de club con clínicas veterinarias que permitan descuentos importantes a socios en la gestión de parámetros de control de salud (plates of hips and elbows dysplasia; hemivertebrae; heart tests; etc.); even subsidize club as part of these costs; establecer ranking de ejemplares recomendados por el club para la cría; designing tests of work; etc. It's all about go mapping objectives and study feasibility of each.

    Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever

    The Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever is a very intelligent dog, resistant and playful.

    Content

    History

    Sometimes nicknamed “Toller“, the Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever is originally from the Little River area of ​​Nova Scotia, a province on the Atlantic coast of Canada. For a long time he was known as “Little River Duck Dog” before adopting its current name in 1945.

    Aunque sus orígenes exactos siguen siendo inciertos, it is well established that it was developed both to bring the aquatic game and to lure it to the hunter's shore in advance. The Micmacs (Mi’kmaq), First Nations people of Eastern Canada, were the first to instill this technique in their dogs. The idea came from observing how red foxes attract waterfowl to shore by splashing water to excite their curiosity, before attacking them once they have approached.

    Regarding the idea of ​​training dogs to recover waterfowl, spread rapidly in the 19th century. It was then that breeders based in England, The United States and Canada developed various breeds of Retrievers, almost all of which are named after their place of origin (Labrador Retriever, Chesapeake Bay Retriever, etc.). This is also what Canadian breeders in the Little River area did, more specifically from Yarmouth County, with the exception that they aspired to create a dog capable of attracting game, drawing inspiration from the knowledge of the Micmacs. To achieve your goal, crossed the dogs used by the Micmacs with others Retrievers (as the Golden Retriever), así como con el English Springer Spaniel, the Irish Setter and some Collies used by farmers in the region. The result of his work was called the Little River Duck Hunting Dog.

    The fact that this place was quite remote is probably largely due to, for more than a century, sólo se conocía en su región natal. In 1945, the Canadian Kennel Club (CKC) officially recognized the breed and renamed it Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever. This recognition took her out of anonymity.

    Over the years 60, the Toller began to be used more in the United States, although its popularity remained limited. Was not up 1984 cuando se creó un club de la raza en el país, and up 1987 when it was officially recognized by the United Kennel Club (UKC). En cuanto a la otra organización de referencia del país, the American Kennel Club (AKC), did the same only 16 years later, in 2003.

    It also spread across Europe, especially after its recognition for the Fédération Cynologique Internationale (FCI) in 1981.

    In England, made its appearance mainly through hunting clubs and dog competitions, like the ring and agility. He was recognized by the Kennel Club (KC) in 1988.

    Both in Canada and in the rest of the world, the breed is known primarily to fans of waterfowl hunting. Su uso como perro de familia está ganando popularidad en muchos países, pero aún está lejos de ser una de las razas más populares.

    In United States, for example, the race occupies around the post 80 (of something less than 200) en la clasificación de razas del AKC basada en el número de registros anuales en el AKC, having uploaded some 20 put in 2010.

    La subida ha sido aún más pronunciada en Francia, where, However, se partía de una base más baja. In effect, mientras que el número de inscripciones en el Livre des Origines Français (LOF) I was not in my twenties before 2010, multiplied by more than five over the next decade, hasta superar el centenar a finales de esta última.

    On the other hand, en el Reino Unido, the appeal of Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever has been generally stable over the same period: despite occasional spikes in some years, the Kennel Club registers around 200 births per year.

    In particular, it is an ideal dog with children, ya que muestra una energía al menos igual a la de ellos y no deja de traer lo que le mandan a buscar. However, It's important to put attention on, regardless of race, a dog should never be left alone with a young child without adult supervision.

    He usually gets along well with his peers - especially those of his own race- y suele ser feliz en su compañía. Living with other pets, on the other hand, it's much more chaotic. His strong hunting instinct leads him to consider cats and other small domestic animals as prey, and therefore to chase them. Se recomienda encarecidamente cercar el jardín para evitar que persiga a otros animales. Es inútil esperar que una valla eléctrica subterránea pueda detenerlo, since the discomfort he feels is no match for his hunting instinct. Esto último también explica claramente por qué es preferible llevarle con correa cuando sale en público.

    In any case, can be counted on to report anything that seems abnormal. Constantly on the prowl, will not stop warning as soon as someone approaches the house. Next, he usually copies his answer to his master's, and does not hesitate to defend it if necessary. On the other hand, if you see that the newcomer is welcome, does the same, maintaining the natural reserve that it has towards strangers.

    The Toller is not recommended for apartment living, if only because it can be relatively noisy. Does not bark excessively, but when he gets excited (either by certain noises, from the sight of small animals or from the game), emits an almost shrill bark, que algunos criadores y propietarios describen como difícil de soportar. Of course, this problem is less pronounced if the apartment is rather quiet. In any case, adjusting to apartment living depends on being provided with a sufficient amount of exercise, that is to say, al menos una hora al día.

    This is especially true during their first year of life., during which he is extremely active and playful. Es necesario entonces proporcionarle un gran número de estímulos y actividades, but at the same time you have to know how to moderate your ardor. In effect, mientras esté en pleno desarrollo y no haya desarrollado completamente sus músculos (what happens around one year of age), remains especially fragile. Therefore, es necesario aumentar la duración y la intensidad del ejercicio de forma muy gradual a lo largo de su período de crecimiento, a riesgo de provocarle lesiones o incluso malformaciones que le penalizarían para el resto de su vida.

    After his first birthday, the Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever becomes much less hyperactive. Conserva una gran cantidad de energía, but you can settle for a good hour of daily activity to keep your feet on the ground. However, there is something else: it is an ideal dog for a sports master, who wants to take his partner for long walks, for example. Able to easily adapt to different environments, it is a very good traveling companion.

    During their pilgrimages, always willing to take a dip if the opportunity presents itself: having been developed to hunt in aquatic environments, swimming is one of his favorite activities, even in murky water. Not necessarily an ideal choice for a master who wants a perfectly clean companion and a flawless interior., as it gives you smart pleasure to play in the mud and roll in the dust.

    Created to help humans during their hunting sessions, the Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever busca la compañía de su familia y necesita estimulación mental. Nada le gusta más que mantenerse ocupado y sentirse útil. Otherwise, they are likely to get bored and start digging, chew on things or bark incessantly.

    The average life expectancy is of some 12-14 years.

    Observations

    It is a race very rare in Europe, However in North America it is quite popular and is widespread.

    Education

    Because they are constantly trying to please their owners, the Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever they are quite easy to train. Esto es especialmente cierto porque le gusta ser estimulado mentalmente y ser útil, so he is always ready to learn new orders.

    However, as he has a relatively strong temperament, it is best to avoid trying to train him under pressure or duress, ya que le resulta difícil de soportar y puede incluso negarse a cooperar. On the other hand, dog training techniques based on positive reinforcement, employed by a quiet master, patient and persistent, are exactly what you need. As long as you are motivated and find an interest in what you do, he is a very good student.

    It may take some subtlety to establish authority and respect for your dog without rushing him, but this is necessary to develop your trust in your master and for both of you to have fun together during training sessions. Consistency is also important: if the rules are not clear or consistent over time or among household members, lo más probable es que él decida por sí mismo a qué atenerse.

    Puppy socialization is important to all breeds, pero es aún más importante para el Toller, who can be especially reserved with strangers. Thus, it is important to let you meet all kinds of people, other animals and situations from an early age, para evitar que se convierta en un adulto tímido.

    One of the easiest things to do in raising a Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever is to teach you to bring things home to order, because he is a born dog. This can be checked if it is used for hunting: necesita pocos estímulos e integra rápidamente comportamientos como el cebado o la recuperación de la caza, that are quite natural for him.

    Imitation learning can be an important part of your education, since he is very attentive and learns a lot through observation. Clicker training is also especially effective with it, as it is more stimulating for him to learn to perform tasks in response to a visual or auditory cue, like the sound of a whistle or clicker, that by repetition. What's more, hates repeating the same exercise over and over again: to ensure your full cooperation, it is better to diversify the training sessions.

    Also performs very well in shows and obedience, así como en competencias de agilidad. Teaching him these dog sports and practicing them with him are excellent levers to use in his education.: le mantiene ocupado y le estimula tanto mental como físicamente.

    Life expectancy

    Of 12 a 14 years

    Grooming

    The Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever it is an easy-care dog.

    A weekly brushing is usually enough to keep their coat shiny and tangle-free.. The exception is during the spring and fall shedding periods., when daily brushing is recommended to remove the numerous dead hairs.

    How sometimes he likes to play in the mud and get dirty, regular bathing may be necessary, especially to avoid the accumulation of dirt in the coat. How you like water, not usually recalcitrant. However, asegúrese de utilizar un champú especialmente diseñado para perros, as it can damage your skin.

    Take advantage of your dog's weekly coat maintenance session to check the condition of his eyes and clean them.

    Looking at your ears, require special vigilance, since its folded shape implies an increased risk of infection. They should also be carefully examined and cleaned weekly.. What's more, It is recommended to dry them after swimming to prevent moisture from settling, as it facilitates the development of bacteria.

    You should also brush your teeth at least once a week. Otherwise, as with any dog, plaque build-up will eventually lead to tartar build-up, which can cause bad breath and other ailments. Even more frequent brushing is recommended, idealmente todos los días. In any case, it is essential to use a toothpaste specially designed for dogs.

    Looking at its claws, natural wear and tear is usually enough to file them. However, debe comprobar periódicamente que así sea. If that is not the case, deben recortarse manualmente con un cortaúñas para perros, as otherwise there is a risk that they will become a nuisance or break.

    The different gestures to maintain the coat, the eyes, the ears, your dog's teeth or claws aren't necessarily natural, especially for a beginner owner. However, it is not only essential to do them, but also to do them without risk of injuring or even harming the animal. Therefore, it may be wise to learn them from a vet or groomer the first time, to make sure you know how to do them correctly after. By the way, the sooner you get used to your dog, the less likely you are to feel uncomfortable or even recalcitrant during these operations.

    It is also essential to ensure that you exercise on uneven and rather abrasive surfaces: this keeps your pads in good condition and prevents them from becoming too soft, ya que entonces acumularían suciedad más fácilmente y serían más propensas a las laceraciones.

English name Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever reflects this particularity, Since the word “tolling” comes from the verb “tollen“, that means “Attract”.

    To attract waterfowl, plays on the edge of the pond and makes splashes that sound a bit like a duck flapping its wings on the surface of the water. Curiosas por naturaleza, waterfowl come to shore to see what happens. When they are close enough, the great retreats behind the hunter's shed, and it rises to chase away the game and make it fly: just shoot your prey. Next, the dog re-enters the scene, this time to search and retrieve the downed game. This ingenious technique requires a lot of control, obedience and complicity, and it is precisely by emphasizing these traits that the race was created and developed.

    In addition to his quite unique hunting skills, el Toller también destaca en un gran número de disciplinas deportivas caninas, like the ring, el agility, obedience, the flyball and even the canine frisbee (discdog).

    History

    The Great Dane es la raza más antigua de la cría moderna de perros en Alemania. Since then it is considered by many as the Apollo among dogs – after the greek deity. And in fact, the Great Dane es un perro con un encanto especial y un carisma y elegancia únicos e impresionantes. The origin of this breed is only partially found in Germany. Already in the 16th century the Great Danes are said to have originated in England, as described in historical sources “cruzando el mastín con los galgos irlandeses”. The name “Dogge”, the old english word for dog, from which the current “Dog”, también habla de una línea de descendencia británica. However, este tipo de perro ya se crió en la antigüedad y se representaba en tablas de piedra.

    Also on the European continent, old bull teethers regularly mated with greyhounds and hunting dogs, ya que estos resultados de los cruces se adaptaban perfectamente a las grandes cacerías de la nobleza de jabalíes, bears and wolves. Little by little, a breed of its own with molossi developed., Greyhound and some hunting dog blood. In 1867 the viennese cynologist Leopold Fitzinger distinguished three variants of Great Dane: el mastín común, english and danish. Even today the great danes They are called “Great Dane” in some languages. Modern analyzes by geneticists confirm the views of ancient cynologists about ancestors, and even assign them to greyhounds instead of molossians.

    In 1888 the Club of the Great Dane en Berlín. Es el primer y más antiguo club de cría de perros con pedigrí de Alemania. The Great Dane modern should now become a representative companion and protector. What's more, debería ser aún más elegante. Así que el estándar se adaptó a estas ideas. Fue posible lograr una mezcla extremadamente elegante y armoniosa de estos orígenes tan diferentes. The Great Dane combines the elegance and speed of hounds with the power and carefreeness of the molossians.

    Physical characteristics

    The Great Dane it is an extremely large and powerful dog but at the same time very elegant and sensitive. A male dog reaches a height at the cross of 80 cm., often even more. Bitches are slightly smaller. The Great Dane tiene un carisma único. The animal painter and dog connoisseur Richard Strebel already betrayed 1914 to the breeders of the Great Dane, the: “… they have created a dog that can be considered without exaggeration as the most successful in size, proportion, strength and graceful movement never created in dogs.” Unfortunately, este respeto no siempre se muestra en la cría de Great Dane. Regardless of your health, se utilizan para la cría extrema, the so-called gigantism, así como para juegos con genes defectuosos para colores de pelaje raros; genes that can also cause serious illness.

    While around 1900 the height at the withers for males was 76 – 80 cm., el estándar de la FCI válido hoy en día dice “at least 80 cm.” sin ningún límite superior claro. This allows the Great Dane reach the dubious honor of the world's largest dog. Según el Libro Guinness de los Récords, this was the male Great Dane “Gibson” with 108 height cm. That was in August 2004. Gibson todavía alcanzó una edad de casi 7 years, pero los últimos años sólo en 3 legs. His record was expanded more and more.

    “Zeus” de Michigan / EE.UU. reached a height of 112 cm and died with just 5 years, supposedly already in old age – Dubious records at the expense of dog welfare. The Great Dane it's impressive enough even without those dubious extremes. Its sovereign and elegant appearance is also highlighted by its silky coat. It is a very short coat, which is close to the muscular body with a slight shine. Colors are yellow or black, blue, tabby or stained.

    • Fur: Satin.
    • Color:

      • – Leonado: yellow golden colour with black mask. The eyebrows and edges of the eyes must be black, While the ears and the tail may be clearer.
      – Striped: Fawn and black in a striped pattern.
      – Blue: Dark steel grey, allowing white markings on chest and legs.
      – Negro: Jet Black pure, allowing white markings on chest and legs.
      – Arlequín: White with black patches. El Gran danés es la única raza que muestra este patrón de color en su pelaje.

    • Size: la alzada mínima para los machos es de 80 cm and for the females of 72 cm.

    Character

    The Great Dane is often described as a gentle giant, but it is naturally protective when the situation requires it. He is loving and loves people, and those qualities should never be perverted by encouraging aggressive behavior.

    In terms of character and size the Great Dane a dog is not for beginners. Belongs exclusively to the hands of experienced dog owners, who can and want to be fully involved with the animal. So there is no more inspiring companion than this dog. El Canciller del Reich Otto von Bismarck, who was accompanied by great Danes all his life, he openly admired the intelligence and abilities of his great danes and is said to have said: “I have great respect for my dog's knowledge of human nature – it is faster and more complete than me.”

    Great Danes love children, but they must learn to be nice to them. And a blow from that wagging tail will knock a little boy down, así que es importante supervisar sus interacciones. These large dogs can also learn to get along with other pets., especialmente cuando se crían con ellos.

    A fenced yard is necessary to prevent the Great Dane go for a walk alone. Not usually a jumper, así que una valla de dos metros debería ser suficiente para mantenerlo contenido. Note that while adult Great Danes are quite calm, puppies are very active and enjoy digging in gardens..

    Se podría pensar que el Great Dane it is more suitable for outdoor life due to its huge size, but it's just the opposite. Debería ser un perro de interior que sea parte de la familia. When that's the case, the Great Dane is loving, learns well and is easily trained. Left to his own fate, la cantidad de destrucción que puede hacer a su casa y a su jardín está más allá de la imaginación.

    any dog, no matter how pleasant it, detestable levels can develop barking, excavation, counter-browsing and other undesirable behaviors if you are bored, untrained or unsupervised. And any dog ​​can be a test that live during adolescence. In the case of the Great Dane, years “adolescence” they can start at six months and continue until the dog is about two years old.

    Start training your puppy the day you bring him home. Even at eight weeks old, He is able to absorb everything you can teach you. Don't wait until you are six months old to start training or you will have to deal with a stubborn dog. If possible, Take it to a trainer when you have between 10 and 12 weeks, and socializes, socialice, socialice. However, Note that many kinds of training puppies require certain vaccinations (such as kennel cough) stay up to date, and many veterinarians recommend limited exposure to other dogs and public places until puppy vaccinations (including rabies, distemper and parvovirus) They are completed. Instead of formal training, You can start training your puppy to socialize at home and among family and friends until immunizations are completed in the puppy.

    Talk to the breeder, Describe exactly what you want in a dog and ask for help choosing a puppy. Los criadores ven a los cachorros diariamente y pueden hacer recomendaciones increíblemente precisas una vez que sepan algo sobre su estilo de vida y personalidad.

    The Great Dane perfect doesn't come fully formed out of the puppy box. It is a product of his background and upbringing. Look for one whose parents have good personalities and who have been well socialized since the puppy's young age.

    Great Dane fitness

    The maintenance of Great Dane it is very complex and expensive. Food in the required quality and quantity, possible veterinary and drug costs, direct and indirect transportation costs and more require a financially wealthy owner. Yes a Great Dane wants to sit on the couch, you need all the two-seater, at least. Los muebles hechos de imitación de cuero sólido han demostrado su valía aquí. The Great Dane should not be kept in a small apartment, mejor es una casa con jardín. Lo ideal sería vivir en una zona rural. Hectic urban centers are not the place where these big dogs feel comfortable. También el perro y el dueño a menudo se encuentran con el rechazo e incluso la hostilidad abierta aquí. This must be considered.

    Scooby Doo

    Fiction has made it one of the best-known dogs to the general public.. Scooby Doo character is a Great Dane.

    The Great Dane it is a big dog that wants to have a lot of movement. However, he is hardly ever seen on the street, although with 1.200 puppies a year ranks ninth on the VDH bestseller hit list (German Canine Federation), even before dog breeds like the Bernese Mountain Dog or the Chihuahua, they are seen much more often on the streets. Often these giants are only locked up once they are past their puppy age and - poorly socialized and educated.- can no longer be managed by the owner who is not familiar with dogs. The Great Dane not a kennel dog. He is basically a family dog ​​and wants and needs the loving connection with his human family. Is smart and responsive. One should not think about what to do if this big dog, at times of 90 kg, is sick and has to be loaded. Therefore, buying a Great Dane must be carefully considered.

    Great Dane Education

    The Great Dane a dog is not for beginners. Its strength and potential danger require expert and loving socialization, education and guidance already in the puppies. Es sensible e inteligente y no perdona ningún error del propietario tan rápidamente. Le gusta que la guíen y la eduquen, pero no con ningún medio de coacción. Many normal dog training aids do not work with the Great Dane, simply because it is too strong. In case of doubt, even the strongest man will not wear the leash. Debido a la sobreexplotación y a una selección de cría orientada unilateralmente hacia las apariencias exteriores, hoy en día existen, although extremely rare, specimens with idiopathic aggressiveness, which then represent practically insoluble problems for an education.

    Great Dane Health

    Los grandes daneses también sufren una alta incidencia de cardiomiopatía, una enfermedad del músculo cardíaco que provoca el agrandamiento del corazón. Esto es muy común en muchos perros gigantes, y cuando se produce en una etapa tardía de la vida, can often be controlled with medication. Have your dog's heart checked at least once a year, y que cualquier soplo o síntoma inusual sea investigado por un cardiólogo veterinario certificado. This condition can also be genetic., but currently available tests can only rule out the dog at the moment; un perro podría descartar un día y desarrollar una enfermedad cardíaca al día siguiente.

    Great Danes can also suffer from hip dysplasia, una malformación paralizante de la cavidad de la cadera que puede requerir una costosa cirugía para repararla y que puede resultar en una dolorosa artritis más adelante en la vida. Another genetic problem with an imperfect screening test, The best prevention for hip dysplasia at this time is to buy only a puppy whose parents have been tested with normal hips and who have very few close relatives with the disease.. Keep your dog slim, especially when young, can also help.

    Another painful bone disease is hypertrophic osteodystrophy., that occurs during the puppy's rapid growth phase. Ask Your Vet About Large Breed Puppy Foods. These diets are formulated to help puppies grow slowly., which can help prevent developmental orthopedic problems.

    Cancer is another major cause of death in the Great Dane, especially bone cancer. They are also prone to other skeletal problems, visual and neurological, both older and younger.
    Not all of these conditions are detectable on a growing puppy, y es imposible predecir si un animal estará libre de estas enfermedades, so you need to find a reputable 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..

    Careful breeders screen their breeding dogs for genetic diseases and breed only the healthiest, best-looking specimens., pero a veces la madre naturaleza tiene otras ideas y un cachorro desarrolla una de estas enfermedades a pesar de las buenas prácticas de cría. Advances in veterinary medicine mean that in most cases dogs can still live a good life.
