History

The Blue Gascony Basset is a basset hound native to southwestern France, whose roots are uncertain. According to hunting historians, He is a contemporary of Mr. Gastรณn Fรฉbus from the 14th century, like the great blue hounds. Some claim that it comes from a cross between the Gascon Saintongeois and the Small Blue Gascony, others that it is the result of a mutation of the Great Gascony Blue after the French Revolution, when commoners, who were now allowed to hunt, they needed a slower dog that they could keep on foot.

Endangered in the 19th century, the breed was reborn in the early 20th century at the initiative of a few western breeders. Its first standard was published in 1919.

Recognized in 1963 by the Fรฉdรฉration Cynologique Internationale (FCI), the Blue Gascony Basset still rare outside of France. In North America, the breed obtained official recognition from the United Kennel Club (UKC) in 1991, as well as the American Association of Rare Breeds, but it is ignored by the American Kennel Club (AKC) and the Canadian Kennel Club (CKC).

Even within the French borders, its extension was minimal until 1980. Since then, the Blue Gascony Basset, although it has become more known, has maintained its status as a little-known dog, especially in the southern region. They are often called "chien du Midi" because of their origin in the regions of Bรฉarn and Gascogne. Even today, most breeders of Blue Gascony Basset are found in the west and south of the country.

This breed represents a little more than 150 records in TFO – Central Canine Society.

There are four breeds recognized as โ€œGascony Blueโ€ by the FCI:

The Great Gascony Blue and the Small Blue Gascony they are the best-known varieties.

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.

This infection is diagnosed by direct examination of the parasite in the ear and then treated by local application of an acaricidal treatment..

Last, the eyes of the Basset Hound, since it is known that the breed has a genetic predisposition that favors the development of primary glaucoma, an eye disease in dogs that impairs the function of the optic nerve. This disease is diagnosed by an ophthalmological exam that measures intraocular pressure, what should a vet do. It is recommended that this examination be performed as soon as possible in the Basset, since the adverse effects of this disease can be reduced if detected early.

Aseo ยซBasset Houndยป

Polish Hound

The Polish Hound it is quite widespread in Poland, while outside this country it is considered a rare breed.

History

Originally from Poland, country to which it owes its current name, the Polish Hound it is a very old breed of dog, since it is believed that it appeared in the 13th century, although the first written records that mention it explicitly date from the 17th century. They are part of the group "Medium-sized hound dogs" and are believed to be the result of crossing between the St. Hubert Hound, German and Russian hounds and local Polish breeds. Polish nobles, fans of hunting parties, they were bred and used especially for hunting larger game.

Since the middle of the 19th century, the Polish Hound, which was very popular at that time, began appearing at dog shows in his native country. At that time, Poland was under Russian occupation, and the breed was bred mainly in the territory of present-day Belarus, which was then also annexed by Russia. After 1918, Poland regained its independence, but the brood of Polish Hound continued almost exclusively in the east of the country.

During World War II, due to successive invasions of Poland by Nazi Germany and then by the USSR, the breed saw its population decrease dramatically. After the war, Polish borders were redrawn; Poland, by losing the territories he owned in the east, lost the cradle of Polish Hound as well as all the remaining farms. No breeder took over the territory of the "new" Poland, and the race found itself on the brink of extinction.

She was eventually saved by a Polish colonel named Piotr Kartawik.. In 1959, created a kennel dedicated to him and reconstituted livestock from 4 dogs imported from Belarus. The first standard of the Polish Hound was written on the basis of individuals from this kennel and published in 1964.

The breed was officially recognized by the Fรฉdรฉration Cynologique Internationale (FCI) two years later, in 1966. But, the Polish Hound is not recognized by any other major canine organization and, although once again it is very widespread in Poland, still relatively rare in the rest of the world.

Physical characteristics

The Polish Hound he is a medium sized hound and companion dog. They are muscular, strong and compact, with mighty bones and a massive march, but without the impression of heaviness. They are better suited for endurance than speed.

The head, quite heavy and chiseled, appears rectangular when viewed from the side. The occipital bone is very pronounced. The line of the forehead forms an obtuse angle with that of the muzzle., and the forehead has multiple wrinkles.

The Polish Hound has a strong, long jaw with a regular bite. The eyes are dark brown and almond-shaped, with a soft expression, slightly sunken and almond-shaped. Superciliary arches are marked. The snout is elongated and truncated at the tip. Rounded at the tips, the ears are low, hanging and quite long.

Low rise and slightly curved, the tail is thick and its lower part is provided with longer hair. Chest is wide, wide and proportionally deep.

The Polish Hound has a double layer (hair and undercoat) average length. This layer gives very good water repellency and protection against heat and bad weather., especially since the undercoat is thick. Hair is longer on the spine, on the back of the hind legs and on the bottom of the tail; is shorter and smoother on the muzzle and ears.

It's brown on the head, the ears (except the sides of the skull), the legs, sternal region and thighs, and black or dark gray on the rest of the body. Tan color can vary from red to brown, but the cinnamon tone is the most sought after. In any case, the separation between the two colors must be very clear. White markings on the chest are tolerated (even up to the muzzle) and on the tips of the legs and tail.

HEIGHT AND WEIGHT :

  • Height to the cross: Males: 56-65 cm., females: 55-60 cm..
  • Weight : Males : 25-32 kg, females : 20-26 kg.

    Character and skills

    The Polish Hound he is an affectionate dog, protective and very intelligent. And unlike most Poles and other hunting dogs, who are notoriously undisciplined and not very obedient, do not pose major training problems. This character trait makes them equally appreciated by hunters and families, as is the case with your neighbor, the Austrian Black and Tan Hound, a rare but obedient and easy to train breed that is also an exception. But, the Polish Hound tends to mature a little more slowly than other dogs, so it can be expected that he will maintain his youthful demeanor at 2 or 3 years of age.

    Naturally calm and friendly, they are excellent companions, loyal as much as possible, showing affection not only to adults, but also to younger dogs. Not only is he loving, kind and protective with them, but he is also very patient. This can create a great complicity between the dog and the child, since the latter learns from a young age to respect the animal and its needs. The Polish Hound It, therefore, a breed of dog adapted to children, even the very young.

    Reputed for being naturally vigilant and distrustful of strangers, without being aggressive, the Polish Hound develops protective instincts with age, leading him to actively defend those around him, whether they are the weakest, the youngest or the oldest. Facing intruders and armed with your unerring sense of smell, Polish hounds make excellent watchdogs, protecting without fail their masters and their properties, even though they weren't bred for it.

    They are sociable animals and generally enjoy the company of other dogs.. Can sometimes become a barker in your presence, without being prone to arguing with peers. His voice is powerful, melodious cases, and allows you to communicate with your master while hunting. The voice is deep in the male and quite high in the female.

    To the Polish Hound loves large expanses and wooded areas where he can fully express his hunting instincts. Not at all suited to apartment living, and is much more comfortable in the country than in the city.

    Developed for hunting and used to living in large spaces, must be walked for a long time and very regularly (on average two or three hours a day), even if you have access to a large garden. The ideal thing for him is to be able to accompany an active teacher during his exercises: footing, running and other sports outings will make you happy. On the other hand, if not asked enough, expect a long and frequent bark, meant to get attention.

    Education

    An obedient and intelligent breed, the Polish Hound it is relatively easy to train, since he is intelligent and quite obedient. They have a good memory and, as such, easily retain what they learn, without the need for a large number of repetitions. But, their education must be early and sufficiently balanced, mixing softness and firmness. He is particularly receptive to the method of positive education, what is the best way to educate him and make him obey.

    On the other hand, How can it take time to reach mental maturity (sometimes two or three years), it is important to be patient during your education, especially if we notice that you tend to lose concentration easily.

    Last, if the dog is to be used as a hunting dog, teaching the dog to remember should be one of the priorities in his training.

    Health and care

    The Polish Hound it is a strong and resistant breed of dog, does not present any significant risk in terms of possible predisposition to certain diseases. Like most older dog breeds, has robust health and is much less susceptible to genetic diseases that can affect newer breeds.

    In spite of this, due to its large chest and high level of activity, is quite susceptible to the development of dilatation-torsion syndrome of the stomach.

    It also, how much of their time is spent outdoors, especially if they are used as hunting dogs, are more susceptible to parasites (like ticks and fleas) and infections, as well as injuries and hunting accidents.

    Last, as with any dog โ€‹โ€‹with floppy ears, be careful with the risk of ear infections and inflammation.

    Care and maintenance

    The Polish Hound it is easy to care for because its coat is short and straight. Brushing your dog's coat once a week keeps it clean and removes dead hairs, especially during molting periods. Since molt periods are not very consistent, brushing every two or three days is usually enough.

    Because its beautiful waterproof coat does not get dirty easily, bathing is rarely necessary. In fact, In most cases, it is possible to clean the coat with a simple damp cloth. It also, washing your dog tends to remove sebum, which has many positive properties, so it should only be done when the coat is really very dirty.

    It also, it is necessary to check and maintain your dog's ears regularly, since it is quite prone to canine ear infections. One can take the opportunity to examine their eyes at the same time.

    Looking at its claws, they are supposed to wear out naturally during your outings. But, If that is not the case, You should clip your dog's claws from time to time..

    Last, when he comes back from hunting or walking, it is important to ensure that there are no ticks (the application of a preventive antiparasitic treatment is strongly recommended) and any injuries you may have sustained while running.

    Price of a Polish Hound

    The price of a puppy Polish Hound is between 500 and 700 EUR.

Basset Fauve de Bretagne

The Basset Fauve de Bretagne has a loose and lively temperament

Content

History

The Basset Fauve de Bretagne descends in a direct line from the "Grand Fauve de Bretagne", ancient trail breed, today almost completely disappeared that was used for fox and wild boar hunting, in the most dense forest. His parent has retained the qualities of exceptional Hunter and his fogosidad to, often, It is braking with crosses with the Petit Basset Griffon Vendรฉen.

In the 16th century there were four varieties of large dogs in France, the difference between them was more than remarkable in relation to the color of the coat and texture. The four varieties were white (du role), Fawn of the (Bretagne), grey (St Louis du) and the black. All of today's varieties of French hunting dogs seem to have their origin in repeated crossbreeding and mutations of these four types..

Estos โ€œGrand Fauve de Bretagneโ€, they were very big dogs, between 70 and 74 cm to the cross. They were known for their effectiveness in the early stages of a hunt.. his bravery, his thin nose, its resistance to cold and humidity and its impetus to hunt its prey, wild boar usually, made them ideal dogs for the thorny thickets of Northwest France. This large variety of Basset Fauve de Bretagne seems to have died out in France. The only representative of the Great "Grand Fauve de Bretagne", is the Fawn Brittany Griffon (48 – 56 cm.), very popular in France.

There is considerable doubt about how the reduction of the overall size of the race was reduced to half. One theory suggests that it was initiated by selection of smaller litter size specimens., another for the breeding of the smallest specimens for countless generations. In the 19th century there were numerous litters made up entirely of Basset Fauve de Bretagne.

In the Decade of 1970, as the Basset Fauve de Bretagne It became popular, French hunters decided to introduce new lines. It is generally believed that the Petit Basset Griffon Vendรฉen was used to improve their ability to, possibly, hunting and the Sausage dog to preserve the color of your hair.

The Basset Fauve de Bretagne was first registered with the Kennel Club in September of 1991.

Its trunk while long, is very strong and compact and, Despite the relatively short limbs, moving with enough speed and ease. In any case, It should never have a too short head or seem excessively high on the extremities, as well as the hair should not appear soft or soft to the touch.

"Basset Fauve de Bretagne"

Character and skills

The Basset Fauve de Bretagne is still required today for rabbit hunting, especially in low forests, where shrubs and las matas prevent passing other hounds.

It is still quite common in Brittany today, prized for their natural qualities and its perfect adaptation to the landscape, tough and rugged in that area. It's very hard to find, being virtually unknown outside of France.

It has a loose and lively temperament, so it needs to live always in the open air, that poorly fits the House. However, with a small space on the outside, or with usual and regular walks, the Basset Fauve de Bretagne could be an ideal pet.
