History

While the small and medium varieties of the German Spitz (Pomeranian, Kleinspitz (Miniature or Small Spitz) and Mittelspitz (Standard or Medium Spitz), Keeshond) were more common among common people in the Middle Ages, the Grossespitz (Giant or Large Spitz) , with its impressive and elegant shape, found its way into the homes of the noble and middle classes. The Grossespitz (Giant or Large Spitz) white enjoyed great popularity even among representatives of the English nobility. He "German Spitz» was also able to make a name for itself in America and was supported primarily by German immigrants. In the course of the negative image of Germany after the 1st World War, the Grossespitz (Giant or Large Spitz) was renamed "American Eskimo»

The Grossespitz (Giant or Large Spitz) black, on the other hand, used to be more common in the vineyards of Baden Württemberg. His excellent wakefulness instinct was a great help to the winegrowers in keeping off the grape thieves, both animals and humans, away from the valuable vines.

According to Gesellschaft zur Erhaltung alter und gefährdeter Haustierrassen e. V. (Society for the Conservation of Ancient and Endangered Breeds of Domestic Animals), to the Grossespitz (Giant or Large Spitz) Today it is considered endangered. Over the years 2000 to 2002, for example, there was only 11 Grossespitz (Giant or Large Spitz) blacks in Germany and 38 white dogs.

Physical characteristics

The Grossespitz (Giant or Large Spitz) is characterized by its special double layer. The long straight top layer looks very bushy due to the thick, padded undercoat and stays away from the body.

The males and females of the category «Grossespitz (Giant or Large Spitz) » They are very similar in weight and size. But, the male representatives of the breed mostly appear heavier and larger.

Due to its distinctive protective instinct, they are also considered ideal guardians for the house and yard. But, without proper training, can become a very barking dog. Through an appropriate workload for each species, good socialization and a consistent but loving upbringing, desirable behavior can be encouraged, that is to say, "don't bark".

History

The Greater Swiss Mountain Dog is an old Swiss farm dog. It is the largest of the family of mountain dogs. These served in the mountains and valleys of the Swiss Alps as a complete tool for farmers. They watched the house and the farm. If a herd of cows had to be moved from one meadow to another, they made sure everyone stayed on the road and no cow was left behind.

The great mountain dogs, from which the current one emerged Greater Swiss Mountain Dog, harnessed in front of larger wagons and served as all-terrain and mountain tractors, more or less like the old one Unimog. It was not unusual for them to be harnessed in pairs in front of a cart full of valuable cheese, so they could independently find their way from the alpine pasture to the village, to the merchant and back. Mountain Dogs and Swiss Cattle Dogs used to be a single family of dogs. What they have in common is a strong bond with family and their farm., a confident self-awareness, a widely lost hunting instinct, a high degree of vigilance, a loving attitude towards his own people and a reserved attitude towards strangers.

A few ago 100 years, mountain dogs were divided into four breeds: Entlebucher, Appenzeller, Berne, Greater Swiss Mountain Dog – in order of size. This and the artificial fixation in a tricolorism conceived by the breed have not been good for the health of these great dogs.. So the statistics of the British Kennel Club 2014 document a life expectancy of only 8 years for Mountain Dogs and Bovine Dogs. Healthy servants could easily live 4 more years. More about this in the portrait of the respective mountain and cattle dogs.

The Greater Swiss Mountain Dog became a valuable companion dog, but still has the skills of a working dog. In 1912 The "Club of Great Swiss Mountain and Cattle Dogs" was founded in Switzerland.

We see detailed regulations, where white marks are allowed and where they are not. In the interest of dogs, do not take these external characteristics so seriously, that are only devised by your breeder. Turning those details into breeding selection criteria is not in the interest of the welfare of the offspring. Greater Swiss Mountain Dog, they only have an extremely small gene pool anyway.

Care and health of the Greater Swiss Mountain Dog

With the advent of tourism in the Pyrenees which is where were more specimens of the breed, also arrived foreign dog breeds, and the Catalan Shepherd Dog became a type of small dog, underestimated front foreign dogs already wearing so many decades by selecting them and improving them, so it was abandoned and mixing with other races.

During the Decade of 1970, an organization called Laketània took two dogs that remained with a very pure appearance, one from Solsona and the other from Berguedà and selectively bred them to recover the breed. All current breeding dogs carry genes from these two specimens.

In 1982 created the Catalan Atura Dog Club, This led to begin airing various breeders and 1982 be drafted a new standard that is the still existing today.

History

Armenian Gampr (Armenian Wolfhound Gampr) is the name of a breed of guard dog of cattle that originated in the Armenian mountains (including the territories known today as Eastern Anatolia of Turkey).

The Armenian Gampr was bred by the local population starting from the primitive dogs of the area that, It was on par with the evolution of societies domesticated.

Not even being recognized by several important canine clubs as a breed of dog and undergoing an intensive genetic research, in April of 2011 the International Canine Union officially recognized the Armenian Gampr as the national dog breed of Armenia.

The Gampr has been living for a long time in the prehistoric Armenian mountains, This is demonstrated by thousands of petroglyphs (that symbolic motifs are stones or rocks which have been carved, belonging to very ancient cultures) found throughout the territory. The teacher Oktay Belli from the University of Istanbul has studied petroglyphs found near the modern city of Kars and according to data from his research, various domestic breeds from the area have lived there since the Neolithic period.

It is not known for sure when the Gampr, and while there is a great diversity among endemic species, back to tens of thousands of years, the Gampr modern is believed to have existed for at least 3.000 years. Petroglyphs found in the plateau of Armenia, show a large number and variety of dogs similar to the Gampr, What has given rise to generate a comprehensive record of development.

Of the hundreds of petroglyphs found in Ughtasar and the Geghama mountain range, up a 20% of the carved motifs resemble modern ones Gampr, while others show a remarkable diversity of dogs that do not already exist.

The results of an excavation carried out in 1954 in Lake Sevan, site dating from 800 or 1000 years before Christ, they found the skeleton of a dog perfectly preserved in a tomb. When comparing the skull found with that of a Armenian Gampr and other indigenous dogs, They concluded that he was an ancestor of the race, Although it presented some differences from the modern form in the face, her you estreches of the skull and powerful teeth, counting on these data and adding the changes that caused the selection and breeding process of the last 3.000 years that inevitably, affect the general appearance of the dogs, could affirm that the Armenian Gampr was already established and formed as a race in the first millennium BC.

The issue is that, the Armenian Gampr modern has changed little through the history of its existence in the highlands of Armenia. It is one of the few natural breeds that exist, “natural” because they were not subjected to the harsh selection of phenotypes by the human hand. So they keep intact the genetic diversity they had initially, While they have crossed with other locatarios dogs. But that genetic variation has been something natural and spontaneous.

Physical characteristics

The Gampr it is a mountain dog that has a large head, body well delineated and developed, without prominent cheekbones. The back is wide, straight, muscular and strong. To the cross, the height in the males is of 65 centimeters or more, and in females is of 62 centimeters or more. The weight is proportional to the size of the dog, and generally varies between 45 and 60 kg.

The Armenian Gampr has a highly developed double-layer coat of hair in order to protect it from the extreme temperatures and harsh weather conditions of the area where it was born. The outer layer is long and thick hair, and the hair is short and dense internal.

Varieties

There are two varieties of Gampr, guardian and the of Pastor. Pastor tends to be smaller in size, tireless, and a little lighter. The Gampr the guardian type is, generally, higher, more square, and loving and very protective. They have a tendency to be more sedentary, and stay in one place.

The geographical and cultural coexistence of the Caucasian Shepherd Dog and the Central Asian Shepherd Dog, and its use on farms over time has caused a problem since the survival of the creole breed Armenian Gampr has been threatened…

The Club of the Armenian Gampr of the United States tries to make it clear -given the similarity between the dogs- that the Armenian Gampr IT IS NOT: a Caucasian Shepherd Dog, a Kangal Shepherd Dog, a Kangal Shepherd Dog, a Akbash, a Karakachan, a Alabai (Central Asian Shepherd Dog), a Koochee, a Tornjak, a Sharplaninac, Although it has some similarities it is good to be able to differentiate between these breeds.

Character and skills

The Gampr is distinguished by its vitality, its independence, intelligence and instinct of self-preservation, capacity in the defence and protection of livestock, the exclusive kindness to humans.

The Armenian Gampr it is a guard dog by nature, Unlike other dogs, This has developed this ability naturally, without previous training. In Armenian the word "Gampr" means "guard dog”, but it is also known by other names, like for example "Gelkheht” (which is derived from the word Wolf), if it is usually used for hunting bears it is known as “Archashoon” (“dog-bear”) and if it performs typical functions of a shepherd dog, it is called "Chobanishoon”.

One of the main features of Gampr, It is his innate ability to adjust independently to different situations and reach a decision appropriate to the circumstances. If he Gampr he sees that his master needs his help, will protect it, but if not, pass it… They are affectionate but not corporate.
