History

The Field Spaniel (Field) is an example of what can go wrong when trying to breed sporting dogs for their looks without considering their use in the field. In the early days of the breed, in the XVIII century, the Spaniels were defined by their size, and it was considered Field Spaniel to any dog ​​that weighed more than 11 kg (25 pounds). The Spaniels smaller ones were known as "Cockers", and both sizes could be born in the same litter. His fur used to be liver, liver and white, red, Red and white, yellow or black and white.

The advent of dog shows in the mid-19th century motivated dog breeders to start considering both appearance and function.. The different was good. This is how the "black spaniel" was born. That was good, but unfortunately the dogs that were long and short – As the "Sussex Spaniel«- they were popular at dog shows at the time. The breeders began to cross Field Spaniel con «Sussex Spaniels«. How the size of the dogs was so different, the results were disastrous, converting to Field into a heavy, unattractive dog who could barely move. Even so, exaggerated-looking dogs won at shows.

Finally, people came to their senses and the fashion of Field Spaniel finished. Dogs could have gone extinct, but they were revitalized after the First World War through crosses with the "English Springer Spaniel.", that were more suitable for the size of the Field Spaniel. Through careful breeding, their usefulness as hunting dogs was restored, with the ability to cut through brush that was too difficult for the "Springer", and the speed that the «Sussex" and the "Clumber«.

The breed was not yet saved. World War II put an end to breeding, and then only a few good dogs were left. In United States, there was no Field Spaniel until the age of 60. The Field Spaniel Society of America was formed in 1978. Dogs are still little known today, but they are no longer in danger of extinction. The Field Spaniel ranks 132 between breeds registered by the AKC.

Physical characteristics

The Field Spaniel is closely related to the Cocker Spaniel and the "English Springer Spaniel". In the beginning, the three races were separated mainly by size. With a weight range of 15 to 22 Kg, the Field Spaniel It is larger than the «Cocker» but smaller than the «Springer«. In addition to hunting, competes in field tests and uses his excellent nose in tracking tests. It is a rare breed, but if you are looking for a solid hunter in addition to a family companion, the Field Spaniel is one of those you should consider.

Weight and size:

Females have an approximate size of 43 cm., While the males measure approximately 45 cm.. Its approximate weight varies from 18 – 25 kg.

Character and skills

The Field Spaniel has the typical features of Spaniel: sensitivity, affection for his family and willingness to learn. With strangers, is reserved, even shy if not well socialized, but their owners will experience a playful and mischievous side. It can be a barker when it shows joy or restlessness.

Its medium size and docile character can make it a good choice for families with children.. He also gets along well with pets, as cats, if he grew up with them. But, pet birds may need to watch their tail. Even though i don't hunt, the Field Spaniel he will take every opportunity to hunt birds and will do his best to go after them. Unless you are in an area with no traffic, keep it on a leash or you'll lose it in the chase.

The Field Spaniel is a dog that needs a job. He is not the type of dog that spends the day eating cookies. Take a daily leash walk of at least an hour, take him to safe, traffic-free areas where he can run off-leash and sign him up for dog sports like agility, obedience, rally and crawl.

Education

The Field Spaniel is intelligent and accepts training well. Like most Spaniels, has a mild temperament and responds best to positive reinforcement techniques, like the compliments, the game and the food rewards. Tends to mature slowly, so you must be patient and constant. In the field he has a natural tendency to explore, which can be stopped by teaching commands such as "Come", "Wait" and "Stay".

Start training your puppy the day you bring him home. Even at eight weeks old, is able to absorb everything that can be taught. Don't wait for you to have 6 months to start training or you will have to deal with a stubborn dog. If possible, take him to a kennel school for puppies when he is between 10 and 12 weeks, and socializes.

Health

All dogs have the potential to develop genetic health problems, like all people have the potential to inherit diseases. Avoid any breeder that does not offer a health guarantee for the puppies, to tell you that the breed has no known problems or to keep puppies isolated from the main part of the house for health reasons. A reputable breeder will be honest and open about breed health problems and the incidence with which they occur.

The Field Spaniel They have some health conditions that may be of concern, especially if you are not cautious with breeder selection. Among them are the Hypothyroidism and eye problems such as cataract, progressive retinal atrophy and retinal dysplasia.

Do not buy a puppy from a breeder who cannot provide you with written documentation that the parents have been exempted from health issues affecting the breed. Having dogs “vet checked” is no substitute for genetic health testing.

Careful breeders screen their breeding dogs for genetic diseases and breed only the healthiest and best-looking dogs, but sometimes mother nature has other ideas. A puppy can develop one of these diseases despite good husbandry practices. Advances in veterinary medicine mean that, In most cases, dogs can still have a good life. If you are getting a puppy, ask the breeder about the ages of the dogs in their lines and what are the most common causes of death.

Remember that after welcoming a new puppy into your home, you have the power to protect you from one of the most common health problems: the obesity. Keeping the dog at an adequate weight is one of the easiest ways to extend its life. Take advantage of your prevention skills to ensure a healthier dog for life.

Grooming

The Field Spaniel has only one coat, that is to say, does not have undercoat. Silky hair is moderately long and can be straight or slightly wavy. The front of the chest, the belly, The back of the legs and hindquarters have fringes like those seen on "Setter" breeds..

The coat is not heavy and it is easy to maintain. You have to brush it weekly and comb its fringes a couple of times a week, or whenever the dog has been outside or has twigs or other debris stuck to the hair. Trim the hair between the paw pads and inside the ears. Bathe the dog only when necessary; regular brushing should keep it pretty clean. The Field Spaniel they molt moderately.

If you plan to expose your Field Spaniel, ask the breeder for advice on how to present the dog at a dog show. You must have a natural look, but may need a little more razor cleaning, scissors and grooming blades of what a pet dog would receive.

The rest is basic care. Trim nails as needed, usually every few weeks. Yes to your Field Spaniel he likes to swim - and even if he doesn't like- keep hanging ears clean and dry to avoid bacterial or fungal infections. Brush your teeth frequently for general good health and fresh breath.

English Foxhound History

The English Foxhound can be considered a classic among British hunting dogs. This traditional breed is probably a cross between the Bracken medieval and the greyhounds, which were supposed to provide more lightness to previously heavier tracking dogs. Its field of application was and is hunting, more precisely: fox hunting mounted in pack, también llamada «caza por fuerza». In this hunt, the herd chases game animals such as roe deer or foxes until they are exhausted.. Persistent dogs can stay on their prey's heels for up to five hours. Although they are not faster than the pursued, tire the hunt so that the human hunter can hunt it. La «caza por fuerza» floreció en los siglos XVIII y XIX, when it was practiced by the German nobility, British and French. Only the aristocracy could afford this elaborate form of hunting, and often destroyed numerous fields under the hooves of horse carts on the miles of unpredictable routes.

In the meantime, this form of hunting is prohibited in Great Britain, as well as in most European countries. In Germany, by the way, this prohibition was not originally justified by the practice of hunting, which is questionable from an animal welfare point of view. Rather, prohibition, when came into force in the years 30, was intended to limit the privileges of the nobility – and therefore also hunting. But a few decades later, hunting laws confirmed the ban. But this was not the end for him English Foxhound: Today, trawling is a friendly alternative – not the killing of the hunt, but the joy of riding fast along with the pack is the main focus. In 1964 the breed was recognized by the FCI. Besides of English Foxhound, there is also the American Foxhound, slightly lighter construction.

Physical Characteristics English Foxhound

He bears a strong physical resemblance to him. Beagle, Although it is slightly larger. The average size of English Foxhound varies slightly depending on the gender of the animal. The males measure between 55 and 62,5 cm. up the cross, and females in 50,5 to 60 cm. up the cross. Generally weigh between 25 and 34 kg. Their fur is short and hard, tricolor-negro color, White and toasted or bicolor with a white background. It has a light head, and with pronounced eyebrows. The ears are medium and droopy, Hound style. His muscular back, It has straight legs and well located porte alegre queue, Whip style. The long legs allow the English Foxhound at a fast pace.

Character and skills English Foxhound

This friendly dog ​​appreciates life in the pack, where he gets along with his peers. In keeping with your original purpose and the life of your ancestors, almost without exception they lived in large herds, the English Foxhound show good obedience, but does not usually establish close relationships with humans individually. Even today the dogs grow up in the pack and stay there. If a stronger impression on humans is desired, the English Foxhound would have to be removed from the pack already at puppy age, but this is not practiced, because these dogs are primarily professional hunting companions and not companion dogs. It also, the Foxhound siempre conserva un grado relativamente alto de obstinación y no muestra una pronunciada «voluntad de complacer». Despite your stubbornness, the breed also has an affectionate side: to much Foxhounds they love to be petted and are also quite playful.

English Foxhound Education

Most of the English Foxhounds are hunters and receive proper hunting dog training, which is absolutely necessary. When you keep a English Foxhound as a companion dog, there may be some obstacles to overcome, because this breed is a passionate hunter who does not have a close relationship with people individually. Especially if you have lived in a pack for a long time, it is difficult to establish a close relationship with the sociable four-legged friend.

Promote the bond with common rituals and a lot of positive motivation. This doesn't always have to consist of treats – petting or small games can also reward this breed of dog. The breed is considered to be very social and gets along very well with its peers. It should be clear to everyone that this four-legged friend has a great hunting instinct, adjust your walks accordingly and make sure the neighbor's cat or puppies by the roadside remain safe.

The diet of the English Foxhound

The English Foxhound needs a species-appropriate food, what it means: It must contain a lot of meat! Offer your English Foxhound grain-free wet or dry food, where meat is the main ingredient. Particularly for Foxhounds who are hunters, the energy requirement depends largely on the calories actually consumed – on days with long runs up to 15 km, the four-legged friend needs correspondingly more energy. A food with a higher fat content is recommended for the most demanding sports needs. Give your dog the last portion about three hours before a sports session, so you have enough time to digest it before you start. Snacks are rarely necessary even during the longest sports drives. It is important that you Foxhound get a nice meal and a long rest after the job is done. The Foxhound it is a very good food processor – to avoid being overweight, watch your waistline and cut your portions accordingly when you start to gain weight. Dry chews are a welcome change to the four-legged friend's diet. But, avoid feeding the rumen with food, as it is suspected of promoting bloodhound ataxia in Foxhounds.

Remember to give plenty of fluids to drink: allow your Foxhound drink water at least once an hour, even during a hunt. There should always be enough fresh water available for all the four-legged friends in the kennel.

English Foxhound Health

One Foxhound healthy is basically a very robust quadruped. But if you want to keep these dogs running, you must inform yourself in advance about the call Hound Ataxia. This is a neurological disorder that mainly affects the Foxhounds and to the Beagle. It usually occurs between the second and seventh year of life and manifests as movement disorders and spasticity. The cause is a breakdown of the white matter in the thoracic cord and of the gray matter in the dog's brain stem.. It is not conclusive if feeding in the rumen favors the outbreak of the disease; However, it is recommended to avoid it as a precautionary measure. Usually, the disease continues to progress without effective treatment options. The English Foxhounds they should also be screened for hip dysplasia before breeding with them. It also, it is important to avoid being overweight, since the English Foxhounds that don't have enough demand get fat quickly. Dogs can reach an age of up to 13 years.

Activity with the English Foxhound

Many kilometers at full gallop – this is the amount of work that English Foxhounds not only drive but also appreciate. Trawling is a good alternative to the old hunts and is now organized throughout Europe, for example, in trawling clubs. The animals follow a foxtail or a brine trail from the rumen that drips from the containers that the riders carry later. If, even if it is not the ideal case, you have a English Foxhound that is not used for hunting, you can take him for a bike ride or learn about sports like canicross. It also, their Foxhound should have room to romp, ideally within a large fenced property and with other dogs of the same species. If your specimen is no longer able to hunt due to physical handicaps, give him a mental workload instead and see if slower nasal work, like guided mantrailing, it's a good idea for your dog.

Caring for the English Foxhound

The short, soft coat of the English Foxhound does not present a challenge in terms of grooming. Regular brushing or massaging with a grooming mitt removes excess fur and is a pleasure for many quadrupeds.. Especially if you don't have a English Foxhound in a pack but as a companion dog, you should practice such bonding rituals with him from an early age. With older dogs, the claws should be examined regularly to avoid painful hooking when they get too long.. You should also regularly check your dog's coat for parasites and discuss prophylaxis with your vet..

Where can I find an English Foxhound?

This breed is usually bred by hunters for hunters, and that's a good thing. If you are interested in having these dogs and you have the time, money and space to raise a herd, you can find out in the trawling clubs. You're probably already familiar with them anyway, because without this form of organized hunting, forming your own herd makes little sense. In any case, stay away from Foxhounds individuals who were raised without papers and whose parents are not hunters. Most of them are dubious sellers who want to make money with the classic hunting dog. Puppies are not usually Foxhounds pure-bred, but mixed races. It is wiser to resort to the animal welfare when looking for mixed-breed dogs with a part of Foxhound, instead of supporting dubious breeding practices.

If you are looking for a English Foxhound adult, you can find one at professional trawler clubs, for example. These always give away older dogs that are not suitable for very demanding use in trawling.. But, you should ask yourself critically and clarify in discussions with the pack leader if you have the possibility to offer this sporting dog with the characteristics already described a species-appropriate home.

French Tricolour Hound
Francia FCI 219 - Large-sized Hounds

French Tricolour Hound

The French Tricolour Hound it is an unusual breed and little known outside of France.

History French Tricolour Hound

The true ancestry of French Scent hounds It will probably never be discovered as most early breeders didn't bother to keep any breeding records.. But, it can be stated with quite certainty that the breed was created by mixing live and now extinct breeds of French and English Scent hounds.

The French Tricolour Hound it is a breed of recent creation (1957), probably comes from the crossing of the Great Anglo-French tricolor hound with the Poitevin hound, the Billy and possibly the Great Gascony Blue. The standard is of the year 1965.

The French Tricolour Hound kept solely for hunting in large packs. Its largest quarry were large wild animals such as deer, the wolf and the boar. A group of several hounds detected the scent trail of one of these mammals and chased it., barking loudly so the hunter could go after them. Depending on the type of animal pursued, the dogs were to corner him or kill him immediately.

The number of copies decreased drastically after two world wars. French hunting enthusiasts managed to save her, although many unique French breeds were lost to the world during these terrible times.

At present its breeding and therefore its population are supported solely by the French hunting community. In general, the future of French Tricolour Hound you will be fairly insured as long as there are fans of dog hunting in your homeland.

Physical Characteristics Tricolor French Hound

The French Tricolour Hound he is a distinguished dog, elegant, well built and muscular. The head is not too imposing, but rather elongated; the occipital protuberance is marked. Eyes are big and brown, sometimes with black border. The look is smart. The ears are larger than the Poitevin hound, placed at eye level, a little forward, not too flexible; pulled forward, it is preferred that they reach the base of the muzzle, but it is accepted that they are two fingers shorter. The queue is quite long, carried high and gracefully.

  • Fur: Short and quite fine.
  • Color: tricolor, with a more or less extensive coat. Shades of red preferably bright, that can reach the leather. Dark spots on the eyes and cheeks should be avoided, and the blue or tan spots on the limbs and body.
  • Size: 62 to 72 cm for the male and 60 to 68 cm for female.
  • Weight: approx.. 30 kg
  • Character and skills French Tricolour Hound

    The only function of French Tricolour Hound is hunting, so it is difficult to make a generalization regarding their behavior patterns and temperament in a home environment. But, it is not necessary to suggest that a socialized specimen can become an educated and balanced family pet. Like most tracking hounds, he is gentle with children and likes to be a part of their various activities.. This dog is probably too energetic and playful to be a suitable companion for a child..

    The French Tricolour Hound tends to become somewhat distant and reserved in the presence of strangers. But, will never show open aggressiveness unless they suspect that something or someone threatens their 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 Tricolour Hound is known for its exceptional tolerance towards other canines. Despite his excessively peaceful nature, also requires early socialization in this regard.

    French White and Black Hound
    Francia FCI 219 - Large-sized Hounds

    French White and Black Hound

    Of the three French Scent hounds, the French White and Black Hound, is the best known.

    Content

    The French White and Black 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

    Before the french revolution, hunting with large packs was one of the favorite pastimes of the French nobility. It also, it also offered the opportunity to establish trade relations and resolve global political and economic issues.. Unfortunately, the demise of the French upper class during times of political turmoil also meant the demise of numerous varieties of tracker hounds. After Napoleon's defeat, monarchical power was rebuilt and hound hunting regained its popularity. Thanks to technological advances in maritime traffic, dog breeding became a much less difficult task and many British hounds were sent to France during the period between 1815 and 1900.

    The true ancestry of the French Hound will probably never be discovered as most early breeders did not bother to keep any breeding records.. However, it can be stated with quite certainty that the breed was created by mixing live and now extinct breeds of French and English hounds. The Saintongeois, Gascon Saintongeois and Poitevin hound were the main ancestors of the French White and Black Hound. It is commonly believed that other breeds were used on a rather limited basis in their breeding program..

    The French Scent hounds kept solely for hunting in large packs. Its largest quarry were large wild animals such as deer, the wolf and the boar. A group of several hounds detected the scent trail of one of these mammals and chased it., barking loudly so the hunter could go after them. Depending on the type of animal pursued, the dogs were to corner him or kill him immediately.

    The number of specimens of this breed of hound drastically decreased after two world wars. French hunting enthusiasts managed to save her, although many unique French breeds were lost to the world during these terrible times. In 1957, the French Hound was fully recognized by the Fédération Cynologique Internationale (FCI). But, FCI recognition hardly increased the international awareness of this dog, so he did not win the appreciation of hunters from other countries. It also, currently their breeding and therefore their population are supported solely by the French hunting community. In general, the future of French White and Black Hound you will be fairly insured as long as there are fans of dog hunting in your homeland.

    Physical characteristics Black and white French Hound

    The French White and Black Hound is a big dog, distinguished and well balanced. His dark eyes give him a smart and confident look. Quite large at birth, her tail is carried high enough.
    These dogs are highly prized in many deer crews for their qualities: fineness of nose, application, seriousness, throat. dog friendly, close to man; easy in the kennel.
    He has short hair, quite strong and close.

    COLOR : The coat should be black and white with a more or less extensive black coat or patches, which may show black or bluish spots, or even small tan marks, but these only in the limbs. A pale tan patch over each eye, as well as a pale tan on the cheeks, under the eyes, under the ears and at the base of the tail. The “deer mark” on the thigh is quite common.

    SIZE :
    Males: 65 to 72 cm.
    females: 62 to 68 cm.

    Character and skills French White and Black Hound

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

    The French White and Black 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 Black Hound is known for its exceptional tolerance towards other canines. Despite his excessively peaceful nature, also requires early socialization in this regard.

Let's not forget that the breed was first recognized by the American Kennel Club in 1886 (and there the standard was set...), and back then it was a common and traditional practice to feed the Foxhound with a diet they called "dog bread", it was a variant of bread made with cornmeal.

    History

    Terriers form a large group of dogs. Its name is derived from the Latin "Terra" for 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 the little vermin. 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. They were supposed to get the fox out of the hole. All these tasks required an enthusiastic commitment, special courage, independent thinking and so-called predatory acuity. Terriers were the world champions in the then "sport" of rat biting. They were fearless and with every fiber of their being they strove to do their job to the best of their ability..

    We can still experience all of these qualities in our terriers today.. They make the special charm of these dogs.

    Gran Bretañaa FCI 12 - Large and medium sized Terriers

    Non-hunters who want to keep Fox Terrier as a pure companion dog, they must divert their innate hunting instincts with the sports and games of dogs

    History

    The first fox terrier, which were first presented at an English dog show in the mid-19th century, they were almost white dogs, especially suitable for fox hunting. Due to his courage, their endurance and ability to track and reach the foxes hidden in their burrow, little terriers soon found a large following among England's hunting and dog lovers. thanks to his physique, the intrepid dogs were able to get into the tubes Fuchsbau narrower. The purpose of breeding for fox hunting was also always the main focus when selecting suitable breeding dogs and ultimately gave the dogs their breed name Fox Terrier. (Fox = Zorro, terre = Earth).

    In 1876 the newly founded Fox Terrier Club introduced the first breed standard for the Fox Terrier. Today the FCI distinguishes two variants of the Fox Terrier: the Fox Terrier Smooth and the Fox Terrier (wire). Although both types of dogs only differ in the structure of their coat, are kept separately.

    At the beginning, the straight hair variant of the fox terrier was much more popular than the Fox Terrier (wire). But, this changed in the decade of 1920, when a real boom developed around the Fox Terrier (wire) and the “practical” little dog became the new “fashion dog” for fine ladies. Unfortunately, often forgot that the Fox Terrier was originally bred as a hunting dog and that the animals still possessed a lot of courage, hunting instinct and a certain sharpness.

    Lack of education and inappropriate attitude gave dogs, who liked to dig gardens and seldom avoided a fight with other dogs, the reputation of being scathing and aggressive. In the middle of the last century, the number of entries in the breeding book, especially from Fox Terrier (wire), noticeably decreased. Today, twice as many are born Fox Terrier Smooth that the Fox Terrier (wire). Today, the traditional english dog in both variants belongs to the rather rare dog breeds.

    Physical characteristics

    The body of a Fox Terrier Smooth is compact and muscular, built for speed and agility. The dog has a short body but a long, elegant face with ears that bend toward the cheeks..

    The coat of a Fox Terrier Smooth is short, flat against the body and dense. Normally, the hair covers the belly and the inner thighs too. Coat color is predominantly white with black and tan markings.

    Character and skills

    Daily exercise and recovery games, jogging together or hiking boots, wheels or horse, during which the persevering four-legged friend can accompany you, should definitely be on the show with a Fox Terrier Smooth.

    The Fox Terrier usually gets along very well with children, after all they share their need to play and exercise. Active families who like to be outdoors will find a lively playmate and a loyal companion in the English Terrier.

    A valuable companion for hunters and non-hunters

    Though, like most dog breeds, Today it is kept primarily as a family and companion dog., the Fox Terrier still has a good figure when hunting. The versatile hunting dog can be used to build and rummage, to recover, to search or even to work in the water. His desire to work, his courage and vigilance make him an invaluable hunting companion. Non-hunters who wish to keep the Fox Terrier as a pure companion dog, they must divert his innate hunting instinct with dog sports and games and thus offer him a suitable alternative occupation.

    Fox Terrier Smooth education

    The Terrier have a reputation for having a mind of their own – the Fox Terrier Smooth is no exception. In case of lack of orientation and carelessness on the part of humans, smart four-legged friend likes to take command, normally not to the delight of his two-legged roommates.
