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.

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.

    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.

    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.".

    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.

Its head is relatively small but long and has a well defined stop. The bridge of your nose should be straight and the nose itself is black with wide nostrils. 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.

    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.
