    History

    The Bourbonnais Pointing Dog it was already known in 1598 like an expert quail hunting dog. The authors of the time described him as a pleasant companion for the hunter, rustic and healthy looking, born with a short tail, with a white fur, whole and finely speckled with light brown or fawn trout.

    After World War I, a group of dedicated breeders formed the first Club du Braque du Bourbonnais in 1925 with the goal of reviving the race and restoring its pre-war prominence. The first breed standard was published in the club's first newsletter in 1930. Although the organization and these breeders made considerable progress, his efforts were again almost wiped out by World War II. It also, strict adherence to a natural tailless dog and strict color requirements resulted in a dog based on appearance rather than performance.

    The result of this selection in reverse leads to a total disaffection of the breeders. Of 1963 to 1973, there were no registrations in the L.O.F. (Book of French Origins) โ“˜. In 1970, under the impulse of Michel Comte, a team of breeders set themselves the mission of ensuring the survival of the Bourbonnais Pointing Dog.

    Today, French breeders strive to produce a Bourbonnais Pointing Dog that conforms to the breed standard, but of equal importance, the Bourbonnais Pointing Dog should now be proficient in the field as pointers, retrievers and trackers. Since the beginning of the 1970, the breeders of Bourbonnais Pointing Dog have substantially and rapidly improved the conformation of the breed and its performance in the field.

    One second Club du Braque du Bourbonnais it was created in 1982 by Michel Comte, with the official recognition of the Central Canine Society (SCC), French affiliate of the FCI, in 1985. The goal of reviving the breed had been achieved, the breed standard relaxed, spotting and docked tails were found acceptable and the breed's remarkable hunting instincts were restored. The new breed standard was fully recognized by the SCC and the FCI in 1991. The standard was translated and published on the FCI website at 1998.

    History

    The Weimaraner is a specially equipped with dog as a dog collector.

    The history of Weimaraner begins with Grand Duke Carl August and the nobles of the court of Weimar, known as the hunter among kings and the king among hunters, you have selected the gray race silver for hunting in forests. According to German tradition, not only the time annulled the traces of the origin of the breed, but they were perhaps cancelled deliberately by the nobles of the time, so that this magnificent specimen is exclusive to the court of Weimar. The theory today proves that it comes from France and indirectly from North Africa.. It is thought this because of the colour of the fur, similar to the race of Saint Louis.

    Gray color is a recessive inherited trait, so it follows that it was selected to obtain it. We know today as the Silver ghosts or grey ghosts thanks to the American soldiers who watched them move gracefully through the German camps.

    Head with slightly pronounced occipital bone, similar to the implant of the ears, are also present in the Grey Saint Louis Hound. Do not cut tail has a particular curvature that resembles the tail of the Saluki. Exceptional smell, can be considered a characteristic inherited from the ancients Leithund of Tracia, that take us back to a time before the creation of the Weimar Republic.

    In the 13th century, Louis IX of France, returning from a crusade to North Africa, He brought with him copies of which later was called it the grey dog in Saint Louis, widely used in France for tracking and capture of pieces in the Woods. This breed did not live with the other dogs, lived with their caregivers, which may explain the union with man and the need to be in the family of the Weimaraner current. In the 15th century, other grey dogs were brought to Europe from Asia.

    Finally the Grand Duke Carl August, passionate about all dog, Select race, search and find old french lines, and following the trend of the time, a versatile and agile dog, and probably crosses with him Old Spanish Pointer and some other races. These crossing comes from the Long hair Weimariano, which was officially accepted by the German club in 1935.

The official recognition of the breed was not easy to obtain, but finally in 1897 born German Club. After the Second World War, the American zone had banned hunting and possession of firearms, and that is why many Weimaraner were exported. In 1951 the selection was resumed on the basis of a standard and performance in the field.

The home is today clearer, Thanks to the studies of this race fans, paintings of the era and to the study of the genetics of colour. After World War II export, It explains the boom in United States of the race.

  • Hip Dysplasia: It is an abnormality of the hip joint. It can affect one or both sides. Dogs with hip dysplasia may or may not show any clinical signs. Although the tendency to hip dysplasia is believed to be hereditary, diet is also believed, rapid growth and the environment contribute to this condition.
  • Gastric dilation-volvulus (GDV), also called swelling or torsion: It is a life-threatening disease in large, deep-chested dogs, especially if they are fed one large meal a day, eat quickly, drink large volumes of water after eating and exercise vigorously after eating. Some think that elevated food plates and type of food may be a factor in causing this as well.. It is more common among older dogs. GDV occurs when the stomach is dilated with gas or air and then twisted (torsion). The dog is unable to burp or vomit to rid itself of excess air in its stomach, and the normal return of blood to the heart is prevented. Blood pressure drops and the dog goes into shock.. Without immediate medical attention, the dog can die. Suspect swelling if the dog has a distended abdomen, salivates excessively and gags without vomiting.

The main sign is excessive bleeding after injury or surgery. There may also be other signs, like nosebleeds, bleeding gums or bleeding in the stomach or intestines. Most dogs with von Willebrand disease lead normal lives.. If you feel this is a concern, your vet can run tests to determine if your dog has it.
  • Distiquiasis: This is a condition where the dog has an extra row of eyelashes, usually on the lower eyelid, causing irritation to the cornea and tearing.
  • Entropion: This defect, which is usually obvious at six months of age, causes the eyelid to roll inward, irritating or injuring the eyeball. One or both eyes may be affected. If your Weimaraner has entropion, you may notice rubbing your eyes. The condition can be surgically corrected if necessary.
  • Factor XI deficiency: It is another bleeding disorder that is usually minor, but can become severe after trauma or surgery.
  • Hypothyroidism: Hypothyroidism is caused by a thyroid hormone deficiency and can produce signs including infertility, Obesity, mental dullness and lack of energy. The dog's hair can become rough and brittle and begin to fall out, while the skin becomes hard and dark. Hypothyroidism can be very well controlled with a daily thyroid replacement pill. Medication must continue throughout the dog's life.
  • Progressive retinal atrophy (PRA): It is a degenerative eye disorder that eventually causes blindness due to the loss of photoreceptors in the back of the eye. The (PRA) detected years before the dog shows signs of blindness. Fortunately, dogs can use their other senses to compensate for blindness, and a blind dog can live a full and happy life. Just don't make a habit of moving furniture from side to side. Reputable breeders have their dogs' eyes certified annually by a veterinary ophthalmologist and do not breed dogs with this disease.
  • Immune-mediated disease: A small percentage of the puppies of Weimaraner react to vaccines, particularly to combination vaccines, with fever, an elevated white blood cell count and swollen tissues and joints. Reactions occur most frequently between 12 and 16 weeks of age.

    • Care

    The first thing to know about him Weimaraner is that it is a domestic dog. Not made for the kennel or backyard life, and it's not made for apartment living either. This highly active dog needs a large, safe yard where he can run, and an active family that gives you the exercise and mental stimulation you need.

    A sense of humor also helps, especially when you see how you Weimaraner has remodeled your garden in its efforts to get rid of mice, moles and bugs. You will be proud of yourself for your good efforts, so don't forget to praise him while you calculate in your head how long, money and effort it will take to put the garden back the way you like it. You may want to monitor him more closely and provide him with additional exercise..

    The Weimaraner they need a couple of hours of daily exercise if they want to avoid barking, recreational chewing and digging. Play fetch and other running games, take him for a jog or a walk, teach him to run alongside his bike or get him involved in a dog sport like agility or flyball. Y, of course, you can always take him hunting.

    Make sure your patio is leak proof. The Weimaraner They are Houdinis when it comes to confinement, and they are very good at learning to open doors and gates and jump or dig under fences. That is another reason why they are best kept as domestic dogs..

    In the House, a Weimaraner mature and well trained will be his shadow, from the bedroom to the bathroom and from the kitchen to the den. a puppy of Weimaraner is challenging and requires careful supervision. Can be a destructive chewer and difficult to train. Box training is a good idea.

    The Weimaraner of any age with separation anxiety, which is not unusual for this breed, They can become destructive and can "dig" on their carpet or sofa in an attempt to create a safe nest.

    The Weimaraner they are very intelligent, and they are also independent thinkers. That combination can make them a challenge when it comes to training.. Be consistent and firm, but soft. The Weimaraner is sensitive and does not respond well to anger, But he must be able to say "no" and say it seriously. Keep training sessions short and interesting, and always end them when you've done something right so I can praise you for a job well done. Last, but not less important, keep your sense of humor. Its Weimaraner may or may not do what I ask, depending on many factors, but will always disobey with style.

    Grooming

    One Weimaraner it is one of the easiest breeds to care for. Even when he's been running through the mud, dirt seems to fall off it. Weekly brushing with a bristle brush should keep their fur and skin healthy. The Weimaraner they shed their fur, but brushing will help keep hair loose from your clothes and furniture. For your Weimaraner glasses, clean it with a chamois. Bathe when necessary. Likes to wallow in anything stinky, so it may be more often than would normally be necessary.

    All breeds with floppy ears tend to have problems with ear infections. Check your ears Weimaranerr weekly and clean them with a cotton swab moistened with a cleanser recommended by your veterinarian. Never insert cotton swabs or anything else into the ear canal, as it could damage it. Its Weimaraner you may have an ear infection if the inside of your ear smells bad, looks red or tender, or if you frequently shake your head or scratch your ear.

    Brush your teeth Weimaraner at least two to three times a week to remove tartar buildup and the bacteria that lurk inside. Daily brushing is even better if you want to prevent gum disease and bad breath.

    Trim the nails once or twice a month if your dog doesn't wear them down naturally. If you can hear the click of nails on the ground, they are too long. Short, well-trimmed nails keep the paws in good condition and prevent scratching when the Weimaraner jumps enthusiastically to greet him.

    Start getting used to your Weimaraner to have it brushed and examined when it's a puppy. Handle your feet frequently – dogs are sensitive to their feet – and look inside your mouth and your ears. Make grooming a positive experience full of praise and rewards, and will lay the groundwork to facilitate veterinary examinations and other manipulations as an adult.

    While you clean him, check for sores, rashes or signs of infection such as redness, tenderness or inflammation of the skin, in the ears, nose, mouth and eyes, and on the feet. Eyes must be clear, no redness or discharge. Your careful weekly exam will help you detect possible health problems early.

    History

    The first written mentions of a basset hound date back to the 16th century. In his book La venerie (1561), Jacques du Fouilloux describes an Artois dog (a former French province that straddles the border between Picardy in France and Flanders in Belgium), that runs on legs and is particularly formidable at hunting pests, like badgers.

    Much later, in the second half of the 19th century, when work began on cataloging, categorization and establishment of the characteristics of the various dogs of the world, the Norman Artesian Basset was one of the first breeds to be listed.

    In the decade of 1870, two types of Artois Hounds: the servants by him Conde Le Couteulx by Canteleu, based near Etrepagny, in the Eure, and those of the kennel of Louis Lane, who lived near Rouen. The two men had different views on what the Artois Hound.

    The Couteulx, as a skilled hunter, favored the utilitarian aspect of the dog and its physical efficiency. Selected dogs with almost straight front legs, a slightly compact body, a fairly common head, but above all a spirit of initiative and enthusiasm for hunting similar to the characteristics of the great and old Artois Dachsbracke.

    Louis Lane, on the other hand, gave more importance to the beauty of his dogs. They had magnificent heads with long, well-wound ears and twisted front legs that echoed the nobility of the ancient Norman race.. The dogs of Louis Lane they were less wanted for hunting, especially since their exaggeratedly crooked front legs left them almost crippled, but his temperament was more thoughtful and less stalking oriented.

    These two types of artisan hounds coexisted during 20 years. Thereafter, most breeders of Basset dโ€™Artois preferred to cross the two models to get a dog that combined the best qualities of both bloodlines. Like this, when the first breed standard was written in 1898, most dogs had a mix of artisan traits (model Le Coulteulx) and normans (model Lane).

    It was at that time that Lรฉon Verrier, the "father" of modern Norman Artesian Basset, raised the best representatives of the breed, dominating dog shows for about fifteen years from 1896. Unfortunately, their calf was decimated by the disease during World War I.

    This did not prevent the French Basset Club from deciding on 1922 promote only the Verrier model for breeding the breed. In 1927, in recognition of their mixed origins, the Basset Artesian changed his name to Norman Artesian Basset. Having said that, an observation that appeared in 1930 in the standard suggests that the Norman Artesian Basset it was only considered as a transition in the creation of a new race, since it establishes that "the committee of the Sociรฉtรฉ de Vรฉnerie decides and observes that the Norman Artesian Basset it should only be a transitional stage towards a Norman type, without any trace of Artois. ยป

    But, this hypothesis was never fulfilled, as evidenced by the rejection of a name change of the breed to Basset of Normandy in 1932, but also and above all the recognition of the breed by the Fรฉdรฉration Cynologique Internationale (FCI) the 29 in October of 1963. The American United Kennel Club will recognize the breed much later, in 1995. On the other hand, is still ignored by the American Kennel Club, the other great american canine organization.

    Today, the Norman Artesian Basset is still very little present outside france and the United States. It is often confused with the Beagle and the Basset Hound, at the moment it is mainly known to hunters.

    Physical characteristics

    The family of the Basset hound. Slim body and short limbs. The head has a scrawny appearance because its cheeks are made up solely of skin. The eyes are large (I) dark. The ears are so long as the snout, ending at tip. The neck has a slight double chin. The tail is long and wide at its base.

    Their short legs allow you to delve into the denser undergrowth to leave his hideout dam, which can do a larger dog. Preferably hunting rabbits, but you can also catch both hares, as a deer. While, has no speed, it does have a lot of precision in its movements. Their weight is between the 15 and 20 kg., and its appeal among 30 and 36 centimeters.

    It is very dog very appreciated by hunters.

    Character and skills

    Fairly calm and very obedient at first glance, the Norman Artesian Basset proves to be a real clown and a ball of affection within his family. Mainly a pack dog, finds it difficult to tolerate loneliness and seeks companionship at all costs, either from his classmates, of other animals in the house (even from cats, if they have already been presented to you before) or the humans around him. Very affectionate, needs a lot of attention to really bloom. So, not recommended for a teacher who is not very available. On the other hand, resourceful and kind by nature, it is a very suitable dog for children, for those who will be an inexhaustible and very patient playmate.

    Attention, otherwise, for homeowners in urban or residential areas: though less vocal than his hunting companions, the Norman Artesian Basset remains, However, an expressive and not very discreet dog, especially when playing. Bark to greet a newcomer, expressing your satisfaction or pointing out that you have found something interesting is second nature, and it is very difficult to prevent it from doing so. So, It is not a breed of dog that is recommended for use in apartments.

    This is all the more true since, despite her wobbly appearance, the Norman Artesian Basset he's a consummate sporting dog, who needs to exercise to maintain their physical and psychological balance. Your relaxation, surprising for such a small size, allows it to jump over small walls and stand on its hind legs. It is a very resistant dog, can cover long distances without recoil: a breed of dog suitable for a sports teacher looking for a jogging partner, for example, as long as the terrain is not too steep.

    The qualities mentioned, combined with keen intelligence and excellent memory, make this dog very suitable for hunting, but also to learn tricks, practice dog sports, or even… take advantage of the lack of attention of his master to get away from it all. In fact, his hunting instincts and his developed sense of smell often lead him to follow the clues he finds interesting and to turn a deaf ear to any return order.. So, should not hesitate, for example, in equipping it with a GPS dog collar to limit the risks in case the dog escapes.

    Finally, in a rather paradoxical way, the Norman Artesian Basset they are also very homey, and like the routine. Once they get used to the arrangement of things in the house, the location of your basket and your pace of life, they hate change. So, the news, for example the arrival of a baby at home, adopting a pet or even moving a dog, should be introduced gradually as far as possible.

    Education

    Depending on the use that is given to the Norman Artesian Basset, his education is not the same.

    If it is intended to accompany its master in everyday life as a companion dog, the puppy should be socialized from an early age and should be taught good manners in the company of humans; for example, curb your hunting instincts and don't bark at all costs.

    If, on the other hand, it is intended to be used as a hunting dog, the education of the dog should be directed to the exploitation of these hunting instincts, through socialization with other dogs, hunting search training and teamwork.

    In any case, the dog's life rules must be clearly defined from the start and applied consistently throughout its life. In fact, although affectionate and obedient, this highly intelligent dog can be a real mule head when faced with conflicting commands. So, it is important to think about the role that the dog will play before the puppy comes home, and be firm – but respectful – throughout the training process.

    Health

    The Norman Artesian Basset enjoys fairly robust health compared to other bassets. But, does not escape the health problems inherent in its morphology (long body and short legs). So, you are particularly prone to back problems, and can easily crack or break vertebrae.

    In the case of an obese or overweight dog, being overweight can aggravate back pain that you naturally experience with age, hence the need for owners to closely monitor the dog's diet and provide sufficient and regular physical activity.. Regular exercise is essential to strengthen your back structure and maintain your joints..

    It is also important that your dog is screened for hip dysplasia, especially if there is a history of hip dysplasia in your lineage.

    Last, the Norman Artesian Basset are sensitive to ear infections, and they also have a predisposition to hypothyroidism. This disease can be in some cases hereditary, Therefore, it is recommended not to reproduce the individuals that suffer from it.

    Grooming

    The Norman Artesian Basset it is quite easy to maintain. Her short hair only requires an occasional brush stroke., essentially to get rid of the dried grass and mud that accumulates during your walks in the woods.

    But, like many hounds, tends to have a slightly stronger scent than other breeds, what no dog shampoo will be able to remedy.

    Apart from these considerations, it is important to examine and maintain your dog's ears about once a week, especially to clean any residue that may lodge in them, in order to avoid ear infections and other painful infections.

    History

    The Rhodesian Ridgeback is a descendant of the semi-wild dogs used more than 500 years for the towns Khoikhoi y Hottentot in south africa. These ancestors already had the same color of wheat (a shade of yellow) and especially the distinctive dorsal crest, formed by hair growing in the opposite direction on the spine.

    When the Dutch settlers arrived from the 17th century, they were accompanied by many dogs to help them settle in these difficult regions. Terriers, greyhounds, molossians, Hunting dogs.…: all had a hard time adjusting to the African climate, lack of water and diseases transmitted in particular by the moscow tsetsรฉ. The need to cross European dogs with the local breed quickly became apparent..

    The dogs of these crosses helped the farmers to hunt game animals, from the smallest birds to large mammals like lions. They also provided protection in isolated areas and put potentially dangerous animals to flight., such as leopards and baboons.

    With the arrival of the English in the 19th century, many boers (settlers of Dutch origin) they moved north, to the area known as Rhodesia, which is now Zimbabwe. This is where the history of the breed really began, when the Reverend Charles Helm (1844-1915) brought two females to the Fountain of Hope, a mission near the town of Bulawayo. They were the ones who started the breeding program of the breed.

    In fact, the famous lion hunter Cornelius van Rooyen lived nearby and decided to incorporate these dogs into his pack used to hunt the king of animals. Started a breeding program, in which they were used Collies and the Great Dane to give to Rhodesian Ridgeback your current appearance.

    The exploits of this dog, able to run for hours with his master on horseback but also to corner the lion until the hunter arrived, made it quickly popular in the region. Its population exploded, and many babies were born. A breeder named Francis Richard Barnes founded the first club of the breed in 1922 in Bulawayo, and wrote the first standard of the then Rhodesian Lion Dog. This standard was accepted in 1926 by the South African Kennel Union, the reference organization of the country (nowadays the KUSA, pure Southern African Kennel Union). But, on the occasion of this official recognition of the breed, the organization decided to change the name to Rhodesian Ridgback.

    The breed appeared in Europe and the United States in the decade of 1930, but it wasn't until after World War II that it really took root. The British Kennel Club (KC) was the first to recognize it in 1954, followed a year later by the Fรฉdรฉration Cynologique Internationale (FCI) and the American Kennel Club (AKC) in 1955. Was not up 1980 that the American United Kennel Club (UKC) he did the same. However, all the major canine organizations in the world today recognize the Rhodesian Ridgeback: is the case of the Canadian Kennel Club (CKC) in particular.

    His current situation in his country of origin is paradoxical. Although it is probably the most widespread dog in South Africa, breeders are experiencing many difficulties due to the reduction of the gene pool. Like this, it is estimated that only one litter in twenty is registered with the KUSA, and can be considered purebred. as a result of that, the characteristics of this dog are being lost, and more and more crosses give rise to individuals who are far from the standard.

    But, the Rhodesian Ridgeback is very present in the rest of the world and enjoys a certain popularity. In the United States, annual registration statistics with the AKC put it in a very respectable 40th position (almost 200), and has almost won 20 places since the beginning of the 21st century. In Great Britain, the KC registers between 1000 and 1200 births per year.

    Physical characteristics

    The breed standard indicates that males should be between 63 and 68 cm to the height of the cross, weighing between 36 and 41 kg, and the slightly smaller females, of 61 to 66 cm. of height and a weight of between 29 and 34 kg.

    Its weight varies between 30 and 39 kg, its pelage is short, dense, smooth and shiny, without being woolly or silky.

    It has, as a feature, a crest on your spine, formed by hairs that grow in opposite direction to the rest of the fur.

    The Ridge must be clearly defined and symmetrical, closer to the hip. Must start immediately behind the shoulders and continue until the bones of the hip (rump).

    The Ridge must only have two crowns, identical and opposite. The length of the Crown shall not exceed to 1/3 the total length of the ridge or ridge. A good average of the width of the same is of 5 cm..

    The Rhodesian Ridgeback it is a dog of good presence, strong, muscular, agile and active, symmetrical appearance, balanced and well balanced.

    An adult Ridgeback is a beautiful dog, well planted and Atlรฉtico, able to travel long distances with a proper speed. It emphasizes their agility, elegance and strength without the massive trend.

    The legs front are straight and strong, heavy bones, What makes it an extremely hardy animal.

    The breed standard accepts the colors ranging from pale wheat Red.

    The color of the snout It can be black or brown. It supports a small white spot on chest and toes of the front or rear legs.

    The South African hunters discovered that the Ridgeback, in pack, they were very effective against the Lions, thus originating a second name for this breed: "the African lion hunter".

    The Rhodesian Ridgeback adapts perfectly to the environment of the African steppes. It can withstand high temperatures, as well as the cold of the night.

    Itร‚ยดs resistant to insect bites and can remain without food and water more than 24 hours.

    Character and skills

    He is very smart. Absolutely loyal and inseparable from its owner and family environment partner. Patient with children (although, because of his size and strength, indicated that they should be monitored during their games) and never aggressive.

    According to a popular legend, the crest of Rhodesian Ridgeback is the mark of a lion's paw.

    It is reserved with strangers. It is common to confuse its crest with the idea that the dog is Bristly, This often misinterpret her attitude.

    In general, the Rhodesian Ridgeback is a dog lively, joyful, playful and very brave.

    Let us not forget that he was selected for the Lions hunting. Since its inception, its mission was to discover the lion with its barks and deceptive movements., like feints and escapes, it attracted its prey until it was placed in the crosshairs of the hunter's weapon.

    Education ยซRhodesian Crested Dogยป

    The socialization of Rhodesian Ridgeback should start in the first few weeks to help him become a calm and balanced adult. Meeting a lot of people (neighbors, friends, family, dealers…) and when crossing with all kinds of companions, gets used to social interactions and learns not to give in to his natural distrust of what is unknown to him.

    Your education can start from the first months, and it is important to quickly teach your dog to walk on a leash. Because his hunting instinct is deeply ingrained, tends to run after all small animals and should always be kept on a leash when not in an enclosed area.

    It is equally essential to quickly teach him obedience so that he learns to listen to his master and to carry out his orders., either when you are about to chase a passing cat or on any other occasion. He's really smart and stubborn, and tends to do what he likes. Needs a firm and authoritative master, who knows how to make your dog respect you. Add to that its imposing size and it's easy to see why it's not suitable for newbies.. On the other hand, an experienced master can use his intelligence and closeness to his family to teach him many tricks. That is why this dog often shines in dog sports competitions, especially in obedience or agility.

    In any case, traditional training methods backfire on this dog, as they would damage the bond between the dog and its owner. On the other hand, positive reinforcement has spectacular results in keeping the dog motivated and strengthening the human-animal relationship. However, to avoid boredom and prevent the animal from being less receptive, it is better to opt for short and playful sessions, even if this means making them more frequent.

    It also, it is advisable to accustom it to being handled at a very young age, either for grooming sessions or visits to the vet. In fact, given its size, would quickly become unwieldy if he had the idea not to be very conciliatory in such circumstances as an adult.

    Last, given their greed and the risks it entails for their health, it is also better to teach him from a young age to be satisfied with what he is given, and not let him beg or steal food at the table, in cupboards or even garbage cans.

    Health ยซRhodesian Crested Dogยป

    The Rhodesian Ridgeback it is quite robust, with a life expectancy of 10 to 12 years, which is quite normal for a breed of this size.

    They are very resistant to heat and drought, but they also tolerate the cold quite well, as long as the temperature does not drop below 0 degrees Celsius. On the other hand, he doesn't like water at all and hates rain. It should not be left outside or walked around when it rains. May not like humid or very cold areas, so another breed choice seems to be the best option.

    Despite his good general health, are particularly exposed to certain diseases:

    Hip dysplasia and elbow dysplasia, often hereditary joint malformations that can cause more or less severe locomotion difficulties depending on the severity;

  • dilation-torsion of the stomach, also common in large dogs, which can be fatal if a vet does not intervene quickly. Most of the time it is due to eating large amounts of food too quickly.;
    Hypothyroidism, a hormonal problem in the thyroid gland that causes weight gain and general fatigue. This disease is still rare in the population of the breed, but it seems to be on the rise;
  • dermoid sinus, a hole in the back through which impurities can enter the spine. This inherited problem can lead to serious and life-threatening infections. Surgery can solve the problem, But it's not always like this. Although it is quite rare, This malformation is much more common in the Rhodesian Ridgeback than in other races, although affected individuals are systematically excluded from breeding;
  • degenerative myelopathy, a progressive deterioration of the spinal cord that is paralyzing and fatal. But, still very weird;
    ophthalmological problems (waterfall, progressive retinal atrophy, persistence of the pupillary membrane, entropion…), more particularly within certain lines;

    • Other serious diseases have been reported in the Rhodesian Ridgeback, but they are still very rare and do not seem to affect these dogs more than other breeds: is the case of cerebellar abiotrophy, cervical malformation, hemolytic anemia, lupoid onychodystrophy, hemangiosarcoma or von Willebrand's disease.

    But, this long list should not hide the fact that, According to a study conducted in 2004 about almost 200 individuals by the Kennel Club and the British Small Animal Veterinary Association, the main causes of mortality in this breed are cancer and advanced age, accounting for half of the deaths.

    To reduce the risk of inherited diseases and increase the chances of adopting a healthy puppy, it is recommended to go to a dog breeder Rhodesian Ridgeback serious and responsible. Must present a certificate issued by a veterinarian attesting that the animal is in good health, the details of the vaccinations carried out (registered in the health record or in the vaccination book), as well as the results of the genetic tests carried out that demonstrate the good health of the puppy and the parents.

    Like all breeds of dogs with floppy ears, the Rhodesian Ridgeback are at increased risk of infection in this area. So, it is necessary to regularly clean your ears with a clean cloth to remove dirt and avoid problems.

    Another risk you are exposed to is obesity. Pretty greedy, have a tendency to be overweight if you can't exercise as you should. Only its owner can help you keep your weight in shape, keeping him active and making sure he doesn't eat more than necessary.

    Your weight is one of the things the vet looks at during routine visits. As with any dog, these must be at least once a year, since they also and above all allow the early detection of any problem, as well as making sure you stay up to date on your vaccinations.

    Toilet ยซRhodesian Crested Dogยป

    The coat of the Rhodesian Ridgeback it is particularly easy to care, since his short coat only needs a quick weekly brushing. But, they molt in spring and fall, when it is advisable to increase the frequency of brushing to remove dead hair.

    The coat generally remains clean and therefore odorless, and only needs to be bathed when particularly dirty, for example after a walk in the mud. But, even in this case, vigorous brushing may be enough to help you get rid of dirt. In any case, when you bathe your dog, you can only use a shampoo specifically designed for dogs, as it can damage your skin.

    His floppy ears are finally the point that requires the greatest vigilance in terms of maintenance., because this morphological peculiarity implies a greater risk of infections (ear infections, etc.). To avoid this, They should be inspected weekly and cleaned with a damp cloth.. This prevents debris or dirt from accumulating.

    The weekly coat and ear maintenance session is also an opportunity to check and clean the eyes, even though there is no increased risk in this area.

    You should also take advantage of this time to brush your teeth to limit the formation of tartar and thus avoid problems such as bad breath., caries, gum disease, etc. The ideal, However, is that you brush more often, up to once a day.

    Finally, the claws of Rhodesian Ridgeback they grow alive and are particularly hardy. Although he can run outdoors often, it is better to check them every 2-3 weeks, since it is common that natural wear is not enough to file them. When they get too long, must be trimmed with a nail clipper designed specifically for dogs, as there is a risk of them getting in the way or breaking.

    Usage ยซRhodesian crested dogยป

    The Rhodesian Ridgeback has worked for centuries in his native country as a guard dog on isolated farms against predators, as well as hunting dog. They earned their letters of nobility and a certain notoriety thanks to their exploits during organized lion hunts in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.. A pack of two or three of these dogs was capable of chasing a lion for tens of kilometers before cornering it until the hunter arrived..

    Although today he no longer hunts lions, continues to accompany hunters from various continents, helping them take out and chase game of all sizes.

    It also acts as a guard dog, warning of the arrival of strangers and not hesitating to show his courage if the threat is confirmed and his family is in danger.

    But, what makes it so popular today is above all because it combines many of the qualities of the ideal companion dog. Affectionate and devoted, are especially popular with sports owners. Capable of running a marathon in 90 minutes, the Rhodesian Ridgeback can easily accompany a runner, cyclist or hiker for several hours. On the other hand, would not fit well with an elderly or very sedentary person, and would have every chance of overcoming a beginner or an insecure master.

    Last, his physical assets obviously make him a champion in cani-cross competitions, but also excels in other dog sports, like obedience or agility.

    French White and Orange Hound

    It is a very unusual breed, practically unknown outside of France.

    Content

    The French White and Orange Hound is a competent olfactory hound of French origin. It was specifically developed for hunting in large packs and today this breed is acquired exclusively for hunting.. Despite her fabulous work skills, it can be found very rarely not only in European countries but also in its native France.

    History French White and Orange Hound

    The French White and Orange Hound is one of the three ยซFrench Scent houndsยซ, along with the French Tricolour Hound and the French White and Black Hound. All these dogs are olfactory dogs that hunt in large herds and listen to a hunter to orient themselves.

    It's a race of recent creation; among its ancestors is undoubtedly the Billy, but we don't know exactly which dogs were used in their selection. Of the three French Hounds, the French White and Orange Hound is one of the rarest.

    Physical Characteristics Orange and White French Hound

    The French White and Orange Hound is a distinguished French dog that gives a rustic impression. His eyes are big, brown and dark. Located slightly below the eye line, your ears are flexible, fine, slightly screwed and reach the tip of the nose. Your walks are easy, adopts a light and sustained gallop.

    Her hair is short and thin, lemon white or white-orange, as long as the orange isn't too dark, tending to red.

    SIZE:

    Height to the cross: 62 to 70 cm.. With 2 cm tolerance for maximum size.
    Weight: Some 30 Kg.

    Character and skills French White and Orange Hound

    The only function of French White and Orange Hound is hunting, so it is difficult to make a generalization about their behavior patterns and temperament in a domestic environment. But, it is not necessary to suggest that a socialized specimen can become an educated and well-rounded family pet. Like most scent hounds, he is gentle with children and likes to be a part of their exciting activities.. This dog is probably too energetic and playful to be a suitable companion for a child..

    The French White and Orange Hound tends to become somewhat distant and reserved in the presence of strangers. However, he will never show open aggression unless he suspects that something or someone threatens his family. Some of these dogs are vigilant enough to perform surveillance duties. This sociable and caring breed will make a terrible guardian, that he would rather greet an intruder by wagging his tail than resorting to necessary actions.

    Canine aggressiveness is considered a major defect in the temperament of hounds, that were developed for herd hunting. For this reason, members with the slightest hint of this undesirable characteristic are immediately excluded from the breeding program. The French White and Orange Hound is known for its exceptional tolerance towards other canines. Despite his excessively peaceful nature, also requires early socialization in this regard. It is worth remembering that the breed has a very powerful drive to hunt down and kill other species of animals., especially stray cats. You can get along with individual family pets if you have been raised with them since your puppy.

    Health of the French White and Orange Hound

    The most common problems for the breed include:

    – canine hip dysplasia;
    – elbow dysplasia;
    – eye problems;
    – sarna demodex;
    – skin infections;
    – skin allergies;
    – chronic ear infections;
    – bloodhound ataxia.

    Caring for the French White and Orange Hound

    The French White and Orange Hound Needs a negligible amount of maintenance. Regular brushing will be enough to keep his short, graceful coat in reasonably good condition..

    The ears of this breed are highly susceptible to irritation and infections., so its systematic examination and cleaning should become an essential part of care routines.

    French White and Orange Hound Training

    The training of the French White and Orange Hound poses a considerable challenge. The breed is a natural hunter and requires basic training in all that concerns its original hunting duties.. Unfortunately, its persistence in the search for prey turns into obstinacy in training. It also, cannot concentrate on the same boring task for a long time and is easily irritated by its many repetitions.

    The best training strategy for this dog should include abundant rewards in the form of praise and tasty treats.. Negative reinforcement doesn't work with French White and Orange Hound and must be avoided at all costs.

    Exercise with the French White and Orange Hound

    The French White and Orange Hound it is an athletic and robust hunting dog, easily adapts to extremely intense physical activity. As minimum, should be taken on a quick walk of 45 minutes a day. You should always wear a leash when you are outside, since it is very difficult to call him back once he has been drawn down some interesting path.

    The French White and Orange Hound behaves calm and relaxed once exercise requirements have been fully met. Keep in mind that a little exercised dog will gradually develop behavioral problems as unpleasant as continuous barking, internal hyperactivity or destruction. This breed is best suited for suburban life in the house with a large, secure yard.

    History

    The Italian hound It, According to the vast majority of authors, a dog with very ancient origins. It is believed, in fact, descended from hunting dogs that lived from ancient Egypt, they reached the shores of the Mediterranean Sea, and therefore also to Italy, thanks to the Phoenician merchants. Many Egyptian drawings dating from the time of the pharaohs show the presence of dogs very similar to the current one Italian hound.

    His best period is the Renaissance, when its level was improved and its great diffusion began. The race then underwent a slow and inexorable decline until, from the beginning of the 20th century, the Italian hound it became very popular again.

    The modern history of Italian hound started on 1920, year in which the Technical Committee of the Society of Hound Hobbyists drew up the first breed standard that a few years later, in 1929 to be exact, was approved by the Italian Kennel Club. At that time there was only one standard that unified the Italian Rough-Haired Hound y al ยซItalian short-haired Segugioยซ; in 1976 came the prohibition of mating between the two varieties; then, in 1989, the ENCI (Ente Nazionale della Cinofilia Italiana) passed two different standards, standards that were later also recognized by the FCI which classified them in the group 6, among hound-type dogs, and related breeds.

    The Italian short-haired Segugio It probably has the same origins as the ยซItalian Rough-Haired Houndยซ; in fact, both varieties of hounds have always coexisted in almost the entire peninsula.

    Those who love them say that…

    ยซI did not choose to live with a ยซHoundยป, I mean it was not a choice out of passion for this breed… it happened to me! It turns out that I share my life with a "Hound". It was and still is the most amazing experience of my life. Living with a "Hound" means learning to have time, lots of time to walk โ€œaloneโ€ exploring life, silent. It is learning that you can stay in the forest for hours without doing anything other than living and discovering the forest. And that's it. The "Hound" teaches you not to pay attention to appearances, to pursue your passions tenaciously while those who look at you think you are just sniffing. He is an extremely sensitive partner but at the same time proud and independent. Living with Chloe is an adventure, made of constant and subtle balances between sharing and the search for individuality, the desire for freedom and the need to feel close to each other, "It is learning every day to discover and respect yourself.".

    • top line : It is rectilinear. Descends harmoniously from the withers to the rump, with a slight convexity in the plane of the lumbar region.
    • Cross : Does not protrude much above the line of the back. It is narrow due to the approach of the tip of the shoulder blades and joins harmoniously with the root of the neck.
    • Back : The upper profile is rectilinear and the muscles are not very apparent.. There is a proportion of 3 to 1 between the length of the back and the length of the lumbar region.
    • Pork loin : The length of the lumbar region corresponds to just under 1/5 the height at the withers. The width of the spine is equal to its length. The muscles of this region are well developed.

    Tips

    PREVIOUS MEMBERS : Seen as a whole and in profile, the aplombs must correspond to an imaginary vertical line that, starting from the scapulohumeral joint, descends to the ground, touching fingertips. They must also correspond to another imaginary vertical line that, starting from the humero-radial joint, divide the forearm and carpus into two more or less equal parts to end at half the length of the metacarpus. Seen from the front, The positions must correspond to a vertical line that starts from the tip of the shoulder and divides the forearm into two visibly equal parts., the carpus, the metacarpus and the foot. The height from the elbow to the floor is equal to half the height at the withers.

    • Shoulder : Shoulder length corresponds to 1/3 the height at the withers. Its inclination below the horizontal is 45 to 55 degrees. Shoulder muscles are long, skinny, apparent and well defined. The opening of the angle of the scapulo-humeral joint is about 110 degrees.

The nails are strong, bent and always black. The presence of some white nails (not pink) does not constitute a fault.

    LATER MEMBERS : Seen in profile, The positions must correspond to an imaginary vertical that descends from the tip of the gluteus to the floor, rubbing or touching the tips of the fingers.. Seen from the back, the aplombs must correspond to an imaginary vertical that, from the tip of the gluteus, descends to the ground and divides the tip of the hock into two equal parts, the metatarsus and the foot.

The distance from the ground to the tip of the hock should not be greater than the 27 % the height at the withers (low hock). The bone structure is solid and the contours of the bones are clearly visible., which accentuates the thinness of the region. The opening of the tibiotarsal angle is about 135 degrees.
    • Metatarsus : Its length is less than half the length of the forelimb measured from the ground to the elbow. It is less wide than the hock and is presented in a vertical position, that is to say, perpendicular to the ground. No presence of dewclaws.
    • Rear feet : They are less oval than the previous ones; for the rest, They have the same characteristics.
