History

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 Rough-Haired Hound It probably has the same origins as the ยซItalian short-haired Segugioยซ; in fact, both varieties of hounds have always coexisted in almost the entire peninsula.

Physical Characteristics โ€œItalian Wirehaired Houndโ€

Italian Wirehaired Hound

It is similar to the "Italian Flat-Coated Hound". It differs mainly by the coat, made up of coarse hair no more than two inches long, but thinner and shorter on the tail, ears and head; the coat colors are fawn and fiery black (both with white spots allowed, if they are well located).

For the standard it has minimum and maximum withers heights greater than two centimeters compared to the "Italian Flat-Coated Hound": therefore it is slightly larger. She is also believed to have a calmer and more thoughtful temperament than her satin-haired variant., and that this is reflected in a slightly different approach to hunting.

The height at the withers varies in the male from 52 to 60 cm and in the female of 50 to 58 cm.. In the case of an excellent subject there is a tolerance of two centimeters more or less. Weight may vary in males of 20 to 28 kg and females in 18 to 26 kg. The length of the trunk is identical to the height at the withers.

Character and skills ยซItalian Wirehaired Houndยป

Great hunter and secret companion. It is used and fits perfectly both in the mountains and on the flat and in the most rugged terrain. It is equipped with resistance, as well as with good speed and works with commitment and passion both in isolation and in the diving suit.

Compared to "Italian Flat-Coated Hound", the Italian Rough-Haired Hound is more reserved, less exuberant, wise, calm and thoughtful in his work. A gentle look, friendly, but proud and wrapped in a halo of melancholy. A strong and very nice voice.

This dog is first and foremost a working dog, and is rarely kept as a pet.

Use:

Hound, especially for hare and wild boar hunting.



General appearance:

It is of medium proportions and its body is square in shape.. Its configuration is harmonious in terms of dimensions (that is to say, the relationship between size and different parts of the body), but there is no harmony in relation to the profiles (that is to say, concordance between the profiles of the head and body). Its well balanced construction, perfectly symmetrical, well developed, of thin shapes, well muscled with no hint of fat allow you to track game from dawn to dusk

IMPORTANT PROPORTIONS :

The height from the ground at the withers is equal to the length of the trunk, measured from the scapulo-humeral joint to the tip of the ischium. The cross, which should not be very prominent, barely exceeds the level of the rump. The length of the snout should correspond to half the length of the head. The height of the chest is just less than half the height at the withers.



Behavior / temperament:

The Italian Hound adapts perfectly to the most difficult terrain and can be used for hunting in the mountains, like on flat ground. Being very resistant and fast, work with ardor and passion, so much alone, like in a pack. Compared to smooth-haired specimens, is more reserved, less exuberant, sensible, calm and prudent at work.

Head:

It has an elongated shape. Its length reaches 4/10 the height at the withers.

Cranial region:
  • Skull : It appears in the shape of an elongated ellipse.. In profile, the upper longitudinal axis is moderately divergent in relation to the longitudinal axis of the snout. The upper profile is slightly domed. The bizygomatic width must be less than half the length of the head. The zygomatic arches are poorly developed. The frontal furrow is not very marked. The occipital protuberance should be sharp, but short; stands a little back, so it is not very visible. Can only be perceived by touch.
  • Depression links (Stop) : It is very little marked. From the snout the upper profile should rise in a gentle slope that reaches the skull.

  • Snout : Its measurement corresponds to half the length of the head. Its height is barely more than half its length.; its width is equal to 17% of head length. The profile is convex. The lateral faces of the snout are convergent, but not to the point of imparting a pointy appearance. The branches of the mandible are almost rectilinear; They are poorly developed in their anterior part. The suborbital region is well shaped, but somewhat less than that of the bareback Hound.
  • Jaws / Teeth : Strong jaws, normal development. The dental arches of the incisors adapt perfectly. The teeth are white, of normal size and are implanted in the shape of a regular line. The denture is complete. The joint is in the form of scissors, although the pincer-shaped joint is accepted.

The edge of the eyelids must be black.

Ears : Its implantation of moderate width is located at the level of the zygomatic arches. They are hanging, form triangular, flat in almost its entire length (66 โ€“ 70% of head length) and very wide. The ears should end in a sharp point. Although thin, your cartilage should be rather rigid throughout its entire length; Its crooked and very rigid insertion deviates the ears towards the front, but without causing them to sag or bend, the tomen shaped like a tirabuzรณn. The tip bends slightly inwards. The ears are covered with hairs of moderate length shorter than those on the trunk., less hard and without any bangs.

Neck:

The top is slightly arched. The lower part does not show any sign of a double chin. Its length is equal to the length of the head, reaching like this 4/10 the height at the withers.

Tips

PREVIOUS MEMBERS

  • As a whole : Seen in profile, follow a vertical line, starting from the scapulohumeral joint, must reach the ground touching the tips of the fingers, while the vertical starting from the humero-radial joint must divide into two more or less equal parts (of which the largest is the above) the forearm and carpus, emerging at half the length of the metacarpal, which is oblique. Forelimb height, from the ground to the elbow, is equal to half the height at the withers.
  • Shoulder : They are thin, long, free movements. The upper tips of the shoulder blades are tightly together. The obliquity below the horizontal is 45 a 50ยฐ.
  • Arms : They are well attached to the body. Like the shoulders, They have dry and long muscles. They are parallel to the median plane of the trunk. The scapulohumeral angle is 110ยฐ, the obliquity of the scapula is 45ยฐ.
  • Elbows : They appear equidistant from the median plane of the trunk; although they should not deviate or inward, nor out. The humeral-radial angle is 135 at 145ยฐ.Forearm : Is vertical. Its length is almost equal to 1/3 the height at the withers. The ulnocarpal groove is clearly visible. The forearm should give the impression of being very dry and thin..
  • Carpi : They are dry; a thin and fine skin covers them. Seen from the front, extend the vertical line of the forearm.
  • Metacarpus : Its length is not less than one sixth of the length of the forelimb, measured from the ground to the elbow. Seen in profile, they are somewhat oblique forward.
  • Front feet : They have an oval shape (hare feet); the fingers are arched and well together. The hair that covers them is dense. The digital tubercles are not very fleshy.; the pads are thin,hard, leathery and black. The nails are strong, bent over and always black. The presence of some white nails (not pink) does not constitute a fault.

LATER MEMBERS

  • As a whole : The vertical starting from the tip of the gluteus touches or falls almost on the tip of the fingers. รยก back view, the same vertical divides the tip of the hock into two equal parts, the metatarsus and the foot. The total length of the hind limb is equal to the 90% the height at the withers.
  • Thighs : They are long and wide. Its length is not less than a third of the height at the withers. Its lower edge is slightly convex; the tip of the buttocks is visible. The protruding muscles are clearly distinguished from each other. The thighs are somewhat oblique from top to bottom and from behind to front.

  • Leg : Its length is slightly less than that of the thigh and its obliquity below the horizontal is 40ยฐ.. The muscles are thin; the hock groove is well marked and visible with the external saphenous vein well apparent.
  • Hock : Viewed from the side, their faces are very wide. It is considered low because the distance from the ground to its tip does not exceed the 27% the height at the withers. The tibiotarsal angle, closed due to marked obliquity of the tibia, ranges between 115ยฐ and 125ยฐ.
  • Metatarsus : Its length corresponds to the height of the hock. It is strong and thin and appears perpendicular to the ground. No presence of dewclaws.

Character and aptitudes ยซItalian short-haired houndยป

Alive and bold. Never aggressive towards humans; rarely towards other dogs. It does not bite. Suits austere food and country kennels. Not conspicuously affectionate, but constantly needs the presence and consideration of the owner, who often identifies with the one who accompanies him during the hunt.

If he is well-maintained and has a breed-appropriate lifestyle, the Italian short-haired Segugio You can live up 12 or 13 years. This is because this type of dog is not predisposed to particular diseases derived from its breed.

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.".

This dog, has a highly developed sense of sight and hearing, that is why he has been assigned to hunting, especially in the rabbit, both day and night.

The Ibizan Hound is one of the medium sized Greyhound, very similar to Pharaoh Hound. Without a doubt a descendant of the old Egypt dogs, that's what the written theories about race say..

The origin of this breed is Spain, comes from the island of Ibiza. The city of Ibiza was founded in the 654 A.C. by the Carthaginians and it is a conjecture establishes the possibility that the first settlers took with them their dogs of Egyptian origin for simple company and to hunt the rabbits that were abundant on the island.

But various genetic studies carried out in recent years have come to the conclusion that contrary to the widespread belief that the podenco is a type of primitive dog imported a few years ago 3.000 the area of middle years, These dogs actually have a close genetic relationship with the rest of the European hunting dogs and are no more "primitive" than most of them... The researcher Antoni Pedro Marรญ, details different aspects of the morphology, ethology and ecology of Ca Eivissenc in his work Native Races of the Pitiรผses.

The nose is flesh-colored and usually be taken into account to determine the purity of the breed. The color will always be blanco-marron, Blanco-leonado or unicolor, although this last possibility is more rare to find them. The weight varies between the 18 and 24 Kg, Depending on whether it's a male or a female, as well as if he is too well or poorly fed. With regard to the height of the dog there are also many disputes since fashion has at times imposed more slender and tall dogs that the found in the Pitiusas Islands.

The current standard is one height of between 66 and 72 cm., It is very far from reality and the first official standard. The dogs that are bred in Ibiza and Formentera are shorter than the maximum height allowed.

    History


    Where does the Icelandic Sheepdog come from??

    For many centuries the Icelandic Sheepdog It was the "Swiss army knife" of the lonely farms and workshops of the great North Atlantic island. In the extremely harsh climate they had to herd sheep, keep small vermin, help in hunting, as well as taking care of the house and the farm and especially the children. On the one hand they are considered as shepherd dogs and on the other hand as Nordic Spitz. In any case, they're extremely smart, agile, flexible and robust man's aides.

    Its existence was in grave danger only recently. Due to introduced diseases and mixing with pedigree dogs legally and illegally imported to the island, they seemed already extinct. So the Icelanders recognized the danger surrounding their only native dog and took specific action against it..

    Today, this unique dog breed seems to be over the hill in its population. The Icelandic Sheepdog enjoys increasing popularity outside Iceland. Genetically speaking, has been able to maintain his Nordic identity. This is confirmed by at least a thorough genetic analysis from 2017 of more than 100 breeds of dogs by a team of geneticists led by Heidi Parker.

    The Icelandic dog has become very popular outside of his original home as a friendly, exciting and fascinating companion and family dog. Still retains much of his original acting ability, expressed in his desire to move, to work with friends and to be very alert.

    History

    Where did the "Irish Terrier" originally come from??

    The "Irish Terrier", he is a high-ranking terrier. It is often called the "Red Irishman" for its distinctive reddish coat.. Its roots are, as in all terriers, a little on the ground. The name Terrier is derived from the Latin ยซTerraยป for the earth. So they were dogs for movement on land and underground.

    High-ranking terriers were supposed to run with the pack on fox hunts. When a fox took refuge in its burrow, the terriers had to chase him underground and get him out of the burrow, as it is called in the language of the hunters. One can imagine that the fox, after all a well fortified predator, does not voluntarily abandon its burrow. so a Irish Terrier I had to be very brave, fearless and defensive. Even today the "Red Irish" are hunting dogs in their hearts. They are not afraid and with every fiber they strive to do their job as well as possible. We can still experience all these qualities in the Irish Terrier as a companion dog.

    They have a special charm but also the challenge of their ancestors.. But red Irish was also used in many different ways at home and on the farm.. He had to keep the yard free of mice and rats., protect chickens, pigeons and rabbits for the night of the martens and foxes. Finally, had to watch the farm and its inhabitants and, if necessary, protect them.

    Ludwig Beckmann reported in 1895, in his two-volume work on the "Breeds of the Dog", that already in 1847 in Ireland they had begun to breed an independent terrier, the ancestor of the current Irish Terrier. At least that's what the Irish claimed, while the English for a long time dismissed this dog as a variety.

    Until 1880 the color of the Irish Terrier was, in fact, still quite uneven. Only little by little did Irish breeders mark their dog with the red coat color as something special. But then it became very popular, even in England and especially in the US, where many Irish had emigrated. The first special breed club for Irish Terriers was founded very soon, the 31 in March of 1879 in Dublin. It was then the first race of Irish Terrier in being officially recognized by the British Kennel Club with Ireland as country of origin.

    Physical characteristics

    What is an "Irish Terrier" like??

    The Irish Terrier it's a medium sized terrier, high-ranking and distinctive in appearance. This starts with their reddish fur. It is built almost square. The legs lower vertically, the long tail stands tall, the neck stretches up. The head, eyes and ears underline their alert appearance. You can feel that every fiber of his muscular body is under tension. The standard tells us…

    …seem active, lively, agile and energetic and have a lot of substance without showing any clumsiness, because speed and endurance as well as strength are essential to the race. The Irish Terrier should not appear clumsy or amorphous; the contour of his body and figure must demonstrate speed, grace and fleetingness.

    Their coat should be thick and lean in texture. Must be, according to technical jargon, broken or broken, that is to say, it should look tough and tough and, However, be extended.
