The origin of this breed is Spain, comes from the island of Ibiza. The city of Ibiza was founded in the 654 A.C. by the Carthaginians and it is a conjecture establishes the possibility that the first settlers took with them their dogs of Egyptian origin for simple company and to hunt the rabbits that were abundant on the island.

But various genetic studies carried out in recent years have come to the conclusion that contrary to the widespread belief that the podenco is a type of primitive dog imported a few years ago 3.000 the area of middle years, These dogs actually have a close genetic relationship with the rest of the European hunting dogs and are no more "primitive" than most of them...

    History

    The Portuguese Podengo It is considered one of the oldest dogs breeds, that has its origins in the Phoenicians, cultural matrix of which descend the Portuguese. It is a native breed of Portugal, with great skills for hunting, but also surveillance, It is commonly used on farms to alert of the presence of intruders.

    The great family of the hound race, specialists in the topic raised it was in Portugal where most subjected to crossing and as a result, branched lineage. Within their ancestors argue that perhaps the closest the Ibizan Hound, and various types of dogs of traces of lived (They inhabit) throughout the Mediterranean area. Like all hound dogs, History shows that they are represented in Egyptian paintings of thousands of years ago.

    according to size, There are three varieties of Portuguese Hound, Grand, Small and medium, being each variety, products of the different crossing, over time.

    It is believed that the great variety has emerged the variety of Portuguese Podengo small and medium, the ancestor of the Grande variety is the Pharaoh Hound spread from North Africa to the Iberian Peninsula. Although other authors raise that it is possible that the hound descends from the small Iberian wolves. There is still controversy...

    Although one of the theories suggests that the Medium Portuguese Podenco arises, of different Podenco dogs from North Africa, The most accepted theory is that this variety, directly descended from the Portuguese Podengo Grande.

    The small Portuguese Hound, sometimes described as a Chihuahua heavier (There is no kinship between these two races), often collaborate in the tasks of hunting with their larger peers, what this dog does is get into the rabbit hole and scare them so that they come out and are hunted by their pack mates.

    The varieties in the fur are related to the inclement weather and adaptation to the same, the smooth-haired variety is more common in northern Portugal, characterized by being a humid area, This soft and smooth coat is necessary because it is dried more easily after wet.

    The variety of hair bristles found in drier areas, where the coat of hair has the function of protecting the dog from the sun's rays and cold weather in winter. Nature is wiseโ€ฆ

    The hair short or long, thick medium and bright. In dogs with long hair and rough, the hairs of the snout are long (Beard).

    Content

    History

    The similarities of Lapponian Herder with the Finnish Lapphund they are big: The ancestors of both races served the Sami, which were also called "lamps" in honor of their hometown in past times, like hunters and watchdogs.

    As reindeer herding was particularly important to many Sami, this breed next to this town and with the increasing domestication of reindeer, developed more and more in herding dogs. The agile and intelligent ancestors of the Lapponian Herder they mastered this task brilliantly. In the not yet coordinated brood, it wasn't so much appearance that mattered, but rather the character and herding abilities of the dogs. As a result, there was no uniform appearance for a long time. In the middle of the 20th century the first standards were developed. But at that moment, the Lapponian Herder and the Finnish Lapphund they were still considered as one race.

    Only in december 1966 the Lapponian Herder was recognized as an independent breed. But, its importance as a reindeer herding dog diminished more and more with time and with the advent of snowmobiles. Today the breed is largely unknown outside of Scandinavia.. In his homeland., However, there are some friends of these dogs, who appreciate this breed as a member of the family. These dogs are mostly kept as companion dogs., but some of them still perform faithful shepherding services.

    Physical characteristics

    ยซAs a mixture of Border collie and German Shepherdยป – this is the appearance of a Lapponian Herder. But, the trained eye recognizes above all the similarity with other Nordic races such as the Alaskan Malamute.

    The Lapponian Herder is a slim and athletic dog of the type Spitz with a height of about 51 cm at the withers in males and about 46 cm in females. It weighs some 25 kg, the weight is not fixed in the standard. This breed is rather long than tall, which means that the length of the body exceeds the height at the withers by one 10 per cent. The Finnish Shepherd of Lapland wears his ears pricked, the long hairy tail hanging at rest, slightly curved when moving. Coat color varies from black to various shades of gray and brown. White markings on the neck are allowed, chest and legs. The breed's coat consists of two layers: a dense, fine undercoat and a stiffer, longer outer coat.

    Character and skills

They unerringly track lost cattle and have repeatedly proven themselves to be perfect assistants to herders and cattle breeders.. Animals are considered to be very eager to learn, they are smart and they bark. Due to their pronounced attention they are also excellent watchdogs.. In addition to the courage attributed to him, these dogs are also agile and strong. They are considered good dressage dogs and can also be kept in families. It should be noted, However, that the Lapponian Herder requires a high degree of exercise and effort.

Because the coat is adapted to the Nordic climate, the dog should never be asked to perform at its best in temperatures above 15 degrees. Basically, in summer it is advisable to change the longest exercise units to the morning and afternoon hours. Representatives of this breed reach an age of twelve to fourteen years.

    Nutrition of the Lapponian Herder

    Lapponian Herder care

    The Lapponian Herder has many thick hairs, that it shares relatively generously with its surroundings, that is to say: misses. But, the more often you use a brush, less hair will end up on your four walls. During the change of coat twice a year she loses a lot of hair, But brushing shortens the "furry period". Better to comb dirt from the coat when it is dry. You should only bathe your reindeer dog when absolutely necessary. So use a mild dog shampoo.. Regularly check the length of eye hairs, the ears and the length of the claws and, if required, use eye and ear cleaners or dog claw scissors.

    Parson Russell Terrier

    The Parson Russell Terrier is a fearless dog, very happy, energetic and friendly.

    History

    The Parson Russell Terrier it is a small to medium sized terrier. It's a hunting dog.

    Although this breed of dog is very young in modern dog breeding, the Parson Russell Terrier is very close to the old and classic type of a terrier in character and appearance. Terriers form a large group within dogs. Its name is derived from the Latin ยซTerraยป for the earth. So they were dogs for work on the land. The first evidence is given by the ancient Romans. Already in the Middle Ages terriers are described in detail. His homeland is in the British Isles. Terriers existed throughout the country. In the stables they kept small vermin at bay. Even the big rats were not a problem for them. The hens, pigeons and rabbits protected them from martens and foxes. To keep chasing foxes, the terriers were sent to the trench.

    The Parson Russell Terrier of today are made exactly for this purpose. They should and could get the fox out of the hole. At the same time, they had to run with the fox hunts in the pack, that is to say, they had to be able to follow the gallop of the hunt. All of these tasks require enthusiastic commitment, special courage, independent thinking and the so-called sharpness of predators.

    The Parson Russell Terrier turned into a versatile hunting dog, it's not only suitable for underground work. In the 19th century the English shepherd Jack Russell he was a successful hunter, rider and above all breeder of Fox Terriers. In his long life as a breeder he greatly increased the performance of the Fox Terrier. They were now fit for all individual hunting tasks, they could work in the pack and in the den at the same time.

    In Australia, only with the help of their dogs could a plague of foxes be contained. To thank this, these dogs were finally named after their breeder, the Parson ยซJack Russellยป Terrier. They were and are physically and mentally raised for work, no show dogs. So breeders and lovers of this terrier for a long time refused to join the system of modern pedigree dog breeding., because they did not want to see dogs evaluated primarily on their appearance and feared the negative consequences of the show business on the fitness and health of dogs. This has done this breed of dog very well..

    Seriously raised, these are dogs that were largely spared from hereditary diseases and extremes in breeding. He "Jack Russell Terrierยป had a wide range of sizes from the beginning, rather short-legged and rather tall. Since performance was decisive, such refinements had no role. Now two breeds of dog have been made from the ยซJack Russell Terrierยป and the two lines have separated in breeding. The little one is still called Jack Russell Terrier, It has a height at the withers of up to 30 cm and is provided a little longer. The Parson it is a little taller and with more legs and in its rather square shape. Parish is another word for "pastor" in English.. So two breeds of dog are named after one person, el pastor Jack Russell. Both dogs are a credit to the Shepherd. In 2001 the new race Parson Russell Terrier was officially recognized.

    Physical characteristics

    The Parson Russell Terrier It is suitable for the working dog, Active, agile, built for speed and endurance. It gives the impression of balance and flexibility as a whole.

    You can have hair smooth or hard if it is thick and dense to protect it from the inclement weather, like cold and damp. Its color It can be entirely white or predominantly white with brown spots, lemon or black or any combination of these colors, preferably stains should be limited to the head or the birth of the tail.

    It measures to the cross between 33 and 36 cm., their weight approximate is of 8 to 10 kilos to be slightly larger in proportions that the version of the Jack Russell Terrier, although it should be noted that taller specimens exist as "Jack Russell" in some work clubs in the United Kingdom and the United States., due to what these clubs do not form part of the FCI and therefore, handle different to the recognized standard registers and accepted worldwide by the 84 member countries.

    Character and skills

    Parson Russell a fearless and friendly Terrier.

    This breed was bred to hunt, Chase and corner foxes in its burrow, therefore, they carry in their genes, and if this activity does not form part of the life of your puppy, We recommend that, they should be exercised daily intensely since they are dogs with a huge dose of contained energy.

    Perhaps its character lively and friendly has caused it to be one of the dog breeds preferred by many people as a pet.

    But in reality it is a true working dog and we should not forget that if a specimen of... becomes part of our family..

    Leave running, ride a bike, launch frisbee or ball - and teach him to bring them back-, It will help to strengthen the bond between the Parson and his owner while it educates, enjoys and is exercised.

    History ยซShepherd of the Caucasusยป

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

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

    It also, the zeitgeist in today's world demonizes all forms of aggression emanating from a dog. While it only takes one or two generations, larger property owners were proud that their dog was reliable and, in case of emergency, acute, I would fearlessly chase away a thief, such a feature is potentially life-threatening for today's dog. It runs the risk of being classified as a "dangerous dog" and in extreme cases, euthanasia. This is not an environment for a Caucasian Shepherd Dog. And so you can find it almost everywhere on the lists of supposedly dangerous dogs. It is an archetype of dog to which man owes a lot in his development. As a dog breed it has been described for a long time and in the oldest specialized books on dogs. But, in modern pedigree dog breeding, it was only officially recognized by the FCI in August 1984.

    Physical characteristics ยซCaucasian Shepherdยป

    The Caucasian Shepherd Dog is a dog of harmonious structure, big and strong with plenty of bone and a powerful muscular system and a somewhat rectangular format. Well pronounced sexual dimorphism.
    Males are masculine with a well-developed cross and a larger head compared to that of females. This is why they are more massive, bigger and sometimes their body is shorter than that of the females.
    In dogs with a longer coat variety, the male has a distinguished mane.

    Size and weight:

    Height to the cross:

    • Males: Desired height 72 โ€“ 75 cm.. Minimum 68 cm..
    • females: Desired height 67 โ€“ 70 cm.. Minimum 64 cm..

    Higher heights are accepted as long as the conformation is harmonic.

    Weight:

    • Males: Minimum 50 Kg
    • females: Minimum 45 Kg.

    Character and skills ยซCaucasian Shepherdยป

    The Caucasian Shepherd Dog is a guardian and protector. The official standard classifies your character qualities unequivocally: "It must be strong, balanced and calm with a well-developed defensive reaction, which is actively expressed. Sharpness and distrust of strangers are typical.". And Caucasian Shepherd Dog is generally incompatible with other dogs! These traits, especially with a big and very strong dog that claims a large territory, are hardly compatible with the social conditions of today's world. It is a great experience to be able to form a close bond with a dog like this.. This also allows you to experience a completely different side of the dog than Caucasian Shepherd Dog, that of an extremely loving friend, loyal and affectionate. But, if one does not have the space and financial means to offer them in our latitudes an environment appropriate to their nature, this will hardly be possible.

    Fitness

    The Caucasian Shepherd Dog he is extremely undemanding in his attitude, if the general conditions already mentioned are ignored. One Caucasian Shepherd Dog does not need heating, toys or a harness on a leash. This breed is undemanding in its nutrition. That also applies to your accommodation.. You can spend the whole year outside without problems, if you want to spend the whole year abroad – as long as there is a suitable place to hide and "adequate" here definitely means neither a kennel nor even a chain.. Must be able to move in your territory. One Caucasian Shepherd Dog you accept, it even sensitively protects all the two- and four-legged friends it sees as belonging to its pack or family. But you need a clear boss. At first he is suspicious or even hostile towards everyone else.

    Close relationship and competent guidance is required to walk on this dog's leash., which is definitely always stronger, and then be able to seamlessly move on to an aggressively barking terrier. it's possible, but it requires serious upbringing, a good socialization and an experienced teacher or lover, competent and very sensitive and at the same time thorough. The Caucasian Shepherd Dog is widely on the dangerous dog lists. It is forbidden to travel to the Netherlands or Denmark, since there is a risk that the dog will be confiscated on the streets and euthanized. One Caucasian Shepherd Dog not much of a beginner dog.

    History

    The Austrian Pinscher descends from old Austrian Landpinscher, which was still widespread in the second half of the 19th century as a frugal and versatile farm dog. In 1921 a pure breeding plan was started. Against him german pinscher, seems wider, more robust and more primitive. Emil Hauck became familiar with this type of dog during his travels at the beginning of the 20th century and worked for the recognition of the breed by the ร–KV and the FCI.. The 16 in October of 1928, this breed was recognized as Austrian Shorthaired Pinscher por la ร–KV. In the year 2000 the breed name was changed to Austrian Pinscher.

    But, according to the breeders association, the number of dogs decreased in the decade of 1970 so much so that only one stud dog remained, Diocles of Angers. Starting from this, the breed was preserved using โ€œLandpinschersโ€. The โ€œLandpinschersโ€ are still used in breeding. The โ€œLandpinschersโ€ are dogs that correspond to the Austrian Pinscher in terms of phenotype and are relatively stable in terms of breeding, without being specifically bred as pedigree dogs in the sense of modern dog breeding.

    Physical characteristics

    It is a medium to small size dog. The eyes are large, with the dark iris. The ears are usually "V" shaped., but there are also buttons, semi-straight or straight. Breeders try to set as far as possible a ยซVยป shaped ear that, otherwise, is already the most common. The tail is implanted high, the dog the coiled cam, frequently on the back, and it's short and thick. Can also be shortened.

    • Fur: short, straight and with undercoat. Remember the smooth-haired fox terrier.
    • Color: the most frequent are wheat yellow, brown yellow, leonado, fawn red and black with fiery spots. Almost always with large white spots on the chest, snout, throat, neck, nape, extremities and tip of tail. The specimens with the mottled coat, completely black or white and fire are not desirable.
    • Size: 35 to 50 cm., more frequently in tone to the 40 cm..

    Character and skills

    It is a vigorous little dog, bold, temperamental and very resistant. It is a great surveillance dog; on the other hand, it is not spread as a companion dog, among other things because it is very barking. But, medium-small dogs do not meet the demands of someone who wants a dog for the apartment (always as small as possible), nor those who want a watchdog (preferably medium-large size), and for this reason the spread of the breed is very limited.

    Observations

    He has good hunting attitudes.
