History

The Schiller Hound It is a working breed that has existed in Sweden since the Middle Ages. But, the breed was not really established and recognized until 1952. This recognition is due in large part to a breeder, Per Schiller, who gave the breed its name.

In 1886, at the first Swedish dog show, they were shown 189 hounds. Among them were Tamburini and Ralla I, a brother and sister belonging to Per Schiller. They were descended from the famous hounds of the Kaflas estate. These dogs probably came from southern Germany: rather small, fawn in color with black fur and slight white markings.

The Schiller Hound they were then based on the crossing of Swiss dogs, German and Austrian, as well as in British hunting dogs, especially the Harriers, to produce a fast and light breed that quickly acquired its type. curiously, Per Schiller worked alongside a Swedish doctor named Adolf Hamilton, and also led to the development of a similar dog named Hamilton Hound, that can be differentiated from Schiller Hound for its tricolor coat.

Still very rare outside his native country, the Schiller Hound was recognized by the Swedish Kennel Club in 1907.

The Schiller Hound has been traditionally used as a sniffing dog, although some describe it as a hunting dog. The breed is known for both its speed and superior olfactory ability; able to quickly track its prey and then howl loudly when its master approaches, alerting of its position. It is a hardy dog โ€‹โ€‹that can tolerate the cold Swedish winters well.. Often, they work individually rather than in a pack and typically hunt rabbits and foxes. Even today, many dogs still work as hunters, although they are equally good household pets.

His dark brown eyes are bright and alert, set deep in your face. His medium-sized, high-set ears hang close to his face and do not extend beyond his lower jaw.. Its long and thin limbs are parallel and are surely one of the main reasons for its impressive speed; giving them a very long stride. Their body is rectangular in shape and they have a deep chest with a robust and solid back.. Its long, tapered tail should not be carried too high in the exhibition ring..

The shiny, straight coat of the Schillerstรถvare fits perfectly to his skin. The top coat is actually quite tough, although the shorter fur on his face and ears is softer to the touch. Predominantly tan in color, the coat also has a prominent black coat. Only small white spots are allowed on the coat. Their fur is expertly designed to protect them in icy weather conditions.

Although it is not conventionally worked in packs of dogs, the Schiller Hound can socialize well with other dogs if given the opportunity. Of course, smaller animals are not safe in their company and are likely to be seen as little more than prey.

Health

Most members of the breed live into their teens and tend to be in good health.. There are a couple of conditions to consider when it comes to Schiller Hound:

Hip Dysplasia

Malformed hips result in an uneven gait, lifelong muscle loss and discomfort. Affected canines are treated with a variety of therapies, including physiotherapy, hydrotherapy and pharmaceutical pain relief. Prudent screening programs in adult dogs of breeding age may help reduce the overall incidence in the population. If a breeding-age dog gets a low hip score, must be neutered and removed from the kennel.

ear infections

The floppy ears of hunting dogs are a magnet for infections as they create moist environments inside the ear canal for bacteria and yeast to thrive.. Keeping the ears clear and dry can reduce the potential for infection.. If wax builds up, an ear cleaner should be used. Infections should not be allowed to become infected and should be treated as soon as they are noticed. Chronic and whiny infections can pose a real challenge to healing and make the dog very uncomfortable and unhappy while they persist.

The origin of the Anglo-French hound dates back to the 19th century, when hunting with large packs was at its height in France. However, the exact date of its development remains unclear, since the crossing of the French hound with various types of English hounds was a common practice in this country since the 16th century.

French hunters cared little for the appearance or pedigree of their dogs as long as they demonstrated unparalleled hunting prowess.. That is why these hounds were perceived more like stray dogs until the 20th century. The situation changed when in 1957 the breeders decided to organize the dogs according to their ancestry. His efforts resulted in the appearance of seven unique French breeds of sizes, coat texture and distinctive colors.

History

This ancient lineage of dogs, known today as Hokkaรฏdo (name of the second Japanese island, largest), It is also known as Kyushu or Ainu dog. According to historical data, its existence dates back to the year 1000 A.C. The offspring of Hokkaido dogs, is uncertain, but some authors believe that they come from the Nordic dogs. The Hokkaido is, probably, the oldest Japanese purebred. Similar to the Scandinavian Spitz in appearance, also has features of the Chow Chow and of the Shar-Pei.

Since its origins it has been used as a guard dog in the Hokkaido Island, and, as well, in hunting bears and other large animals.

In 1937, this breed was recognized as a Natural Heritage of the Japan, by the society for the preservation of Japanese races.

It is also a breed recognized by the FCI.

Rare monument of nature

The Hokkaido It is one of the oldest dog breeds in the Asian world and is part of the cultural heritage of the Japanese island. In 1937 Hokkaido was even declared ยซMonument of NatureยปAnd since then it has been recognized and protected as a race.

Due to the difficult to access regions of the island, Dogs retained their "pure blood" for centuries. Unlike Akita or Shiba Inu, who gave way to Europe long ago, the Hokkaido still a very rare breed of dog, who is hardly ever seen outside of his home country.

It also, Your dog's ears and teeth should be cleaned once or twice a week. To avoid injury, claws should also be trimmed regularly. You will hardly ever need to bathe your Hokkaido: first, He likes to jump to rivers or lakes and "bathe" there, in the second place, it is naturally very clean and thirdly, the skin's own protective barrier should not be attacked by too frequent bathing or even dog shampoo.

Hokkaido Health

In fact, a possible inbreeding in the breeding of Hokkaido in Europe, since due to the rarity of this breed there are very few breeding dogs.

In his homeland., Japan, where it is still traditionally used for fishing and where salmon are caught on their way to spawning grounds with great skill and reaction speed, this preference is not always appreciated – because the Hokkaido first he eats the fish caught by himself and only gives away some of his prey when he is full.

Chow Chow

Content

History

The Chow Chow has been known for more than 2500 years in China, where it is represented in bas-reliefs of the time. Dog of mysterious origin, belongs to the Spitz family. Some believe it is a cross between a Tibetan Mastiff and a Samoyed., while others think it is more of an original dog, that is to say, that comes from the Nordic dogs (internal temperature above average, particular shape of the bony structure of your skull…). In any case, stories about the origins of Chow Chow they are usually just hypotheses.

In Manchuria and Mongolia it was used as a war dog, to watch over herds or rushes and as a draft animal. The Chow Chow they were also found in Tibetan monasteries: his function was to defend the monks. Occasionally it was a hunting dog, it was eaten in some parts of china, and his skin was also traded.

It was introduced in Europe in 1865, when Queen Victoria of England received one as a gift and started raising it. It was officially recognized by the Kennel Club English little less than 30 years later, in 1894. Today, only used as a pet.

The term ยซChow Chowยซ has appeared recently. In fact, during the interwar period, the Chow-Chow It was known in the West as the "Hong Kong dog".

Despite some other blood additions over the years 50, the Chow Chow is a breed that has remained pure.

Physical characteristics

The Chow Chow It is a dog with a robust body that goes hand in hand with its wide skull and its small triangular ears slightly rounded at the tip and it carries them apart with the tip slightly inclined forward which are always erect. His eyes are dark, from Brown to black always small, almendrada form. The nose is completely black and wide except in color Chow cream and white, which supports the color pink. The mouth is wide and strong. They have a characteristic "stilt" movement, due to the peculiar conformation of their hind legs, which lack angle, and it makes it look like walking on stilts.

It is a dog of agile and balanced movement. By joining the legs in parallel to two in the movement. This breed has a very dense fur that can be rough or soft, which it accumulates more around his neck, giving it its distinctive frill or horsehair. Its fur can be red, black, Blue and cream. Those who have spotted or multi-coloured fur are considered outside the standards of the breed.

The Chow Chow They are distinguished by their unusual bluish-black or purple tongue and strong legs.. The gene for the bluish-black or purple tongue is usually dominant in this breed, and so it also tends to be in from mixed races of a Chow Chow.

A legend that says, When the gods placed the stars in the firmament, pieces of the sky fell that the Chow Chow licked and since that day he has had a blue tongue..

Character and skills

Today, the Chow Chow is commonly a companion dog. His strong sense of ownership of their homes with their - sometimes- intriguing approach to strangers may be misinterpreted by those who do not belong to his family. But, signs of shyness and aggression are not characteristic of this breed. Copies of the sex opposite usually coexist with less tension than with those of the same sex, but it is not uncommon to see Chow Chow of different sexes living together peacefully.

They are extremely loyal to their family and it costs change masters. Affection usually shown only to people you know, so visitors should not push them physically as they will not immediately accept strangers as quickly as they do with their family members.

They are not a very active breed. Life in an apartment suits them, if they are given the opportunity to get enough physical activity daily. The owners must take daily walks with their Chow Chow, so be it in a small place, to maintain their physical and mental abilities in a healthy way.

Although this breed shows low energy most of the time, needs a routine to be able to explore their environment and thus maintain a loving nature. Its typical behavior resembles that of a domestic cat more than that of a dog., for cleaning and its enigmatic nature.

Grooming

Grooming requirements depend on the type of fur. A Chow straight hair needs to be brushed weekly only. One with a rough coat should be brushed every other day. Both varieties molt twice a year, during which the coat will abundantly. Rarely need a bath, although a hot bath followed by a thorough drying can help remove the coat you're missing.

The rest is basic care. Trim nails as needed, usually once a month. Brush your teeth frequently for general good health and fresh breath. Check ears weekly for dirt, redness or odor that may indicate an infection. If the ears look dirty, clean them with a damp cotton ball and a mild ear cleaner recommended by your vet.

Health

The Chow Chow is the breed of dog most affected by Dysplasia elbow. It is also vulnerable to hip dysplasia, dislocation of patella, thyroid disease, Pemphigus Foliaceus and ocular disorders such as entropion and ectropion. The risk of these disorders increases exponentially when they are purchased at pet stores unscrupulous caregivers who do not test their dogs to see if there is existence of genetic disorders. Like this, a potential buyer of this breed should ask about the health status of the pet to buy. Animal caretakers must provide the client with a guarantee of the dog's health. But despite his delicate health, It is an excellent companion dog for humans..
