History

Korea Jindo Dog

The exact origins of this dog breed are lost in the dark of history.. With a probability that borders on certainty, it can be assumed that the breed is actually of Korean origin, more precisely from the island of Jindo in southwestern Korea. Due to the isolated geographic location, this type of dog was only found here. Finally, an export ban on the breed was imposed, which is still valid today.

In his homeland., the Korea Jindo Dog is under the protection of nature and species. In 1938 the breed was declared the national animal of Korea. But, some quadrupeds have crossed the borders: In the Decade of 1980, local people smuggled specimens into the US. In 2003 took place in Great Britain the first official exhibition of a Korea Jindo Dog outside asia. In the USA., the Korean Association of Jindo of America" โ€‹โ€‹is now working to preserve this breed.

Physical characteristics

This four-legged Korean friend is one of the best in Asia. With a weight of about 14 to 21 kilograms and a height of 34 to 47 cm to the cross, the Korea Jindo Dog belongs to medium-sized dogs. Carries its tail curled or sickle-shaped on its back. The relatively small, upright ears are also typical of the point..

While in Korean standardized breeding only white and red coat colors are recognized, depending on the frame organization the following other coat colors are allowed: kitsch, black and tan, grey, black and Brindle.

Character and skills

The Korea Jindo Dog shows the corresponding original features. It is considered to be independent, territorial and has a strong hunting instinct, what can make living with other pets impossible, but it doesn't have to be that way with good socialization.

The breed is not easily disturbed and is characterized by great loyalty to its keeper.

It is reserved with strangers: When used as a watchdog, the Korea Jindo Dog indicate in a way the defense of your home your home. Many representatives of the breed do not accept food from strangers. These dogs are playful and intelligent, sometimes even "too smart", because they can learn to open doors, for example.

When looking for a Jindo, always look for responsible breeders – unfortunately there are also alleged breeders who have bred the Jindo for backyard dogfighting or otherwise have disproportionately promoted the aggressive side of this dog.

Education of the โ€œKorean Jindo Dogโ€

Consistent and clear communication, as well as some experience with dogs are necessary for the education of a Korea Jindo Dog. The docile dog is not only characterized by its intelligence, but also for its primitive behavior and great independence, that you must direct in a controlled way.

As the leader of the pack it is your task to make it clear to him that you know for sure and with confidence where to go.. The Korea Jindo Dog quickly use uncertainties and exceptions to take the helm himself. But, never confuse strong and confident leadership with toughness, as this could destabilize the Korea Jindo Dog and not just destroy educational successes, but also lastingly disturb the bond between you and your partner.

A dog school is a recommended opportunity to introduce the Korea Jindo Dog to other dogs of the same species and to further socialize them.

Health of the โ€œKorean Jindo Dogโ€

Robust Spitz

It is considered that Korea Jindo Dog it is a robust breed of dog, that he hardly has a predisposition to genetic diseases. Healthy animals can reach an average age of 13 years. The most important health precautions are already taken before birth, thanks to the experience of experienced breeders, that minimize the risk of disease by selecting suitable parent animals, including appropriate preventive exams. Accumulation of the autoimmune disease discoid lupus erythematosus has occasionally been reported (DLE). This skin disease is usually treated for life.

It also, there are some cases of hypothyroidism, what is the lack of thyroid hormone supply to the body. In the Korea Jindo Dog this disease is usually manifested through aggression or apathy and changes in the coat. Otherwise, The same as us, two legged friends, sufficient exercise and healthy nutrition are other important pillars of health. Increased risk of food intolerance in some Jindos can also be counteracted with a balanced diet.

Nutrition of the โ€œKorean Jindo Dogโ€

A high-quality, grain-free, meaty diet is, fortunately, not just appropriate for the species, but also tasty. Both are important criteria, since it is considered that the Korea Jindo Dog is relatively selective. It is best to accustom him to several varieties of the same quality from the age of the puppy. This way you won't find yourself in a situation where, due to prescription changes or delivery issues, suddenly there is no more pet food and you have no alternative. It also, you can usually change different known foods of the same quality without your dog having digestive problems.

Regarding the amount of daily feeding, manufacturers' information can only give approximate values. If you notice that your Jindo is gaining too much weight, adjust your diet accordingly. You should also include treats in your daily ration. It's best to stick to healthy treats, like dental care snacks or dog treats that are 100% meat. Sugar has no place in reward food or snacks. With dry chews such as special dog bones or cow's ears, which are much less greasy than pig's ears, you can satisfy your friend's chewing needs from your Korea Jindo Dog.

Make sure he always has enough water around him to quench his thirst at any time.

Care of the โ€œKorean Jindo Dogโ€

The coat of this breed consists of a soft undercoat, depending on the season, and a hard coat. Especially during the coat change twice a year, the Korea Jindo Dog lose a lot of hair. You can limit hair loss on the floor accordingly, combing daily. Outside of coat change time, a weekly hairstyle is enough. At this time you can also check their ears and eyes for dirt and if they need to be cleaned with special ear and eye cleaners for dogs..

The dirt on the coat is better to let it dry and then comb it out. A bath is not normally necessary, but it may be a good idea to gently accustom the Korea Jindo Dog, to a bathroom when he's still a puppy, so it can be cleaned every few months. Be sure to use a mild dog shampoo to avoid damaging the dog's own skin.. Take a regular look at the claws, especially with older dogs. If they are too long, shorten them with claw scissors. This will prevent your dog from getting painfully stuck with them and possibly injuring himself.

Activities with the โ€œKorean Jindo Dogโ€

give to you Korea Jindo Dog plenty of room to run, also as a jogging partner, but always on a leash. Also for free rescue and search dog work not suitable due to strong hunting instinct. Some Jindos like to learn tricks and play with various toys with great pleasure., that are available in stores. By the way, the Korea Jindo Dog normally stays away from water, so the common splash in the lake should not be included in the list of possible destinations. Many Korea Jindo Dog they even avoid small streams or puddles, refuse to cross a bridge or do not want to go outside in the rain. To enjoy travel without restrictions, should show the young dog that the water on the trail is not a cause for concern and casually, and possibly supported with treats, get used to the unwanted item. Don't force your Jindo to jump into a pond or something similar – will probably never turn into a water rat.

Before Buying a โ€œKorean Jindo Dogโ€

Few dog lovers in Europe are likely to ask this question, since the Korea Jindo Dog It's very weird. It also, you must be a nature lover and have a house or apartment at ground level in the countryside, because this four-legged friend must have a fenced-in property at his disposal, who can monitor. The fence must be generously planned, because the breed has a clear talent for jumping. So, The minimum height of a fence should be 1,80 m. But still keep an eye on your four-legged friend: Many young Jindo, if you have been alone for too long, the urge to discover has taken hold of him: The cunning dogs have quickly learned that a path can be prepared by digging even under fences.

In any case, the intelligence of Jindo can be too much for quite comfortable dog owners who are supposed to keep you physically and mentally busy. This active and above average dog will take up a lot of time on your trips together, because you need to go out, what should normally be done on a leash due to his hunting instinct.
Can be well kept in a family, also with children. Sociable four-legged friend doesn't like to be alone, so he must either be left alone for a very short time or you keep him together with another dog. In Korea it is common for dogs to live outside the house.

The breed is excellent as a guard dog and often recognizes family acquaintances and friends from a distance. You can also befriend the postman if you make it clear that you are one of the "good guys.".

Where can I find a โ€œKorean Jindo Dog?โ€?ยป

In Europe it is not easy to find a Korea Jindo Dog; for example, in Germany not a single litter has been registered in recent years and there are no active breeders. Here it is necessary to investigate to find the nearest breeder. Of course, some breeders also export from abroad, for example from the United States, but this is time consuming and should only be considered for absolute connoisseurs and lovers of the breed. But, might be worth taking a look at asian races Shiba Inu and Akita, which are much more common in Europe and have some similarities to the Korea Jindo Dog. When adopting a puppy from abroad, please consider the relevant entry requirements and especially the necessary vaccinations.

If you are looking for a Korea Jindo Dog adult, you must be on a real winning streak to find one in Europe. It is true that dog owners sometimes underestimate the time and knowledge required for education and harmonious coexistence with a Korea Jindo Dog and, therefore, they give up their four-legged friend. But, this is extremely rare in Europe due to the very small number of Korea Jindo Dog.

The manufacturer's feeding recommendations regarding daily rations can only be guidelines that you should adapt depending on your dog's constitution and actual activities. Snacks or treats can be both tasty and healthy. These may include, opt for sugar-free dental care snacks or jerky snacks to reward your dog.

Get your puppy used to the grooming ritual:

This not only prepares him to be combed in adulthood, but also strengthens the bond. Dirt can be brushed from dry coat, in difficult cases it helps to clean the area with a damp cloth. You should only give your Norwegian quadruped a bath every few months to protect the dog's skin.. In this case, use a mild dog shampoo. Check your pet's eyes and ears regularly and clean them with an eye or ear cleaner if necessary. Older dogs, in particular, or those who walk almost exclusively on soft soils, may need help with claw care: Go for a pedicure if the claws get too long to avoid painful hooking.

History

The strong similarity to the Mittelspitz (Standard or Medium Spitz) German allows us to suppose that the Japanese spitz descends from this same race. Other cynologists assume that the Spitz descends from the Nordic Spitz. One thing is for sure: the origin of Japanese spitz not in japan, but in Europe. From there he arrived in Japan at the beginning of the 20th century along with travelers.

The attractive white dog with the charming character quickly gained popularity among the Japanese population. With more caps from China, Canada and the US, own breeding was established in Japan in the years 20. While in Europe an attempt was made to increase the size of the lace, thus creating the German Spitz, the Japanese tended to opt for the more original compact form. In 1948 the Japanese Kennel Club established a first breed standard for the first time. As country of origin, Japan was indicated in the standard. The FCI, that has officially recognized the Japanese spitz from 1964, includes it today in the Group 5 (Spitz and dogs of the original type), as well as in the Subsection 5 (Asian Spitz and related breeds), under Standard No. 262.

In his native Japan, the Japanese spitz it was very popular for a long time, especially in the years 50 the last century. Although it is still more common there in terms of numbers than in Europe, the demand of the little companion is gradually changing. While in Japan the number of recently registered puppies is declining, is increasing in North America and Europe.

Physical characteristics ยซJapanese Spitzยป

This breed is distinguished by the fact that it is exclusively pure white.. Thanks to his straight and dense hair, the Japanese Spitz seems strong. What is no less important, it is also caused by the swollen inner layer. The beautiful ruffle on the shoulder, neck and sill contributes to attractive appearance. Typical of the tail is a long and voluminous flag.

Despite her short legs, the Japanese Spitz is sporty and extremely agile. Due to its balanced proportions, the appearance of this compact pedigree dog is both striking and harmonious.

The height at the cross – the elevated transition from neck to back – tends to be of 30 to 38 cm in adult males. Females reach a somewhat smaller size. The Japanese Spitz weighs between 4,5 and 11 kg.

Character and abilities ยซJapanese Spitzยป

The well balanced nature of the Japanese Spitz fits the very harmonious appearance. He is an attentive guard. Anyone who approaches him is not immediately signaled with a savage bark. Only when the Japanese pedigree dog feels a serious threat, gets loud and fights back vehemently.

ยซJapanese Spitzยป Care

Despite the hereditary predisposition to many diseases, Many of the ailments can be avoided by taking proper care of your Spitz.

Diseases or inflammations of the eyes, nose, ears and claws can also be detected and treated at an early stage through proper care and regular check-ups. Another important aspect of grooming is the care of the coat of the Japanese spitz. Despite the impressive and luxurious fur, This is not very elaborate and therefore it is usually sufficient if the hair is combed or brushed thoroughly twice a week. Only in the coat change phase (twice a year) grooming effort increases until daily styling.

Japanese Spitz health

An indication of good and serious parenting is the presentation of genetic test results.. The breeding animals used must have an impeccable genetic makeup to exclude genetic diseases from the start. Dogs in which hereditary diseases typical of the breed have occurred should be excluded from breeding for the sake of the health of the breed. This also includes the tendency to dislocate the patella (slipping of the patella out of its guide), which can also be inherited in many dogs, especially in small dog breeds. Also eye problems, such as distichiasis or narrowing of the tear ducts, as well as dental problems can occur with the Japanese spitz. No other diseases typical of the breed are known..

The correct nutrition of the ยซJapanese Spitzยป

The diet BARF it is also a good way to feed Japanese spitz with a healthy diet. BARF means ยซBone And Raw Foodยป (Bones and raw foods). All food components, like meat, fish, vegetables or fruit, they are only given raw. Various vendors and specialty stores facilitate BARF to the dog owner. Like cooking food, this feeding method requires a certain amount of knowledge about the correct use of raw ingredients.

You must feed a puppy of 3 to 5 times a day, an adult raw food and bones 2 times a day.

The waiting period for a new litter at a breeder can be very long. Who doesn't necessarily care about a purebred puppy, but also consider buying a Spitz adult, should – parallel to the search for a breeder – also look around the animal shelter, where over and over again Spitz or the crosses of Spitz they are waiting for a new and loving home. A puppy, on the other hand, should only be purchased from a serious and certified breeder.

How do I recognize a serious breeder?

When choosing a suitable breeder, various factors play a role. It's not just the "formalities" that must be correct, that is to say, the papers, the pedigree and the contract of sale, but also the personal reasons that ultimately decide the purchase. The breeder must, first, be understanding with you, and this cannot be found out with a short email or a short phone call. One or better several meetings are necessary to get a complete picture of the breeder and his dogs.. Does the breeder invite you to his house?

History

Where does he come from Samoyed originally?

The Samoyed is the archetype of a dog from the far north. It belongs to the archetypes of the dog in general. The Samoyed it is one of the oldest dog breeds. Type dogs Samoyed have accompanied the peoples of Siberia for thousands of years. The Samoyeds (or nenets) are various indigenous peoples who have lived for thousands of years throughout Siberia to the Arctic Ocean. Most live as nomads and follow herds of wild or semi-wild reindeer.. Their dogs have different tasks. They pull the sleds with the household goods or with the hunters for the hunt. They pull the boats over the snow into open water. They help with the reindeer herds. They guard and protect people as if they were herds.

They defied death even when facing the polar bear, the world's largest land predator. The Samoyeds provide an excellent navigation system that makes its way through icy deserts even in fog or snow storms, avoiding cracks and ice holes. They often sleep in the tents of the Samoyedos. They keep each other warm. So it is not surprising that the peoples Samoyeds have an extremely intimate relationship with their dogs, and not only because their existence in the far north depends on these dogs.

The Countess Aga von Hagen reports in his book on dog breeds from 1933 that he "Samoyed Spitz" was treated as a sacred dog in his homeland and no family Samoyed voluntarily separated from his dogs. On the other hand, the Countess explains that the Samoyed Spitz, through this close connection, shows a "high development of mental characteristics despite its ferocity". Was not up 2017 that a report by Russian archaeologists was published, that they had found remains of 9000 ten years old dogs in Siberia. In the permafrost these were so well preserved that they could be closely examined and classified as sled dogs..

Only in 1889 English Ernest Kilburn-Scott managed to import the first Samoyeds from Siberia. So these dogs entered modern pedigree dog breeding.. Immediately one turned to their outer appearances. White color rose as a feature of a Samoyed basically arbitrarily to standard. At that moment, like today, se and take Samoyed original in many colors, only rarely in pure white. To impose the pure white color, inbreeding was carried out according to this dubious criterion and thus much of the real character and extreme robustness of the Samoyed. It also, the breeding base was already very small anyway, because the Siberian peoples were reluctant to give up their dogs for breeding in England.

Finally, in the decade of 1950 they also crossed the original line, these being very different in character and, if you look closely, also in appearance. Although the Samoyed current European breeding has lost much of the original character of the true Siberian dog, still an original breed. The most exciting thing about him is that he shows at the same time a close connection with humans. Not without reason, the Samoyed is one of the founders of other breeds of dogs such as the Eurasian. The first standard for Samoyed it was created in 1909, in 1913 was recognized in England. The FCI, Fรฉdรฉration Cynologique Internationale recognized her in 1959.

Physical characteristics

Males tend to have more size females usually weigh between 20 and 32,5 kg, while females usually weigh between 17 and 25 kg.

The eyes of the Samoyed they are usually black or brown, and slanting. The nose or truffle must be well developed and preferably black. At some times of the year it can clear up, giving rise to what is commonly called "winter nose.". Some other factors such as age or climate can clarify it, but it is important to always keep the edges of black. Otherwise it would mean a mandatory veterinary visit.

The ears they should be thick and completely covered with hair, form triangular, and upright. In most cases they are white, but occasionally they can be Brown clear (known as "cookie" color).

The tail of the Samoyed it is one of the most distinctive features of this breed. As the Mally, the tail hanging hook-shaped on his back; However, and unlike the Malamute, the tail of Samoyed touches back and leans over, slightly, on one of the sides and it should not be a very closed hook or in the shape of a "flag".

The garden, where the Malamutes, should not be considered as an ornamental garden, to put it in a nice way. The malamutes require that the entire lifestyle be in tune with this association.

The Alaskan Malamute can be well trained by an experienced dog owner. One must accept the challenge, even love, of fighting mentally with these primitive and self-confident dogs. They will gladly accept their masters and caregivers, will be loyal to them, but they must have leadership qualities combined with a lot of doggy mind. You have to fully commit to the experience of having a MALAMUTE. Not a dog for people without deep canine experience.

Use:

Sledge dog



General appearance:

The Alaskan Malamute is one of the oldest breeds of sled dogs. This is a mighty dog, solidly built, deep chest and strong, muscular body. Its limbs are well approved when standing and its attitude denotes great energy. The head takes her high, with a haughty bearing; the look, always alert, expresses interest and curiosity. The head is wide; the ears are triangular and stand erect when the dog is attentive. The muzzle is compact and its width, from the root to the truffle, only slightly decreases. It's not long, or pointed, but it is not truncated either. The pelage is dense; the hair on the outer coat is coarse and of sufficient length to protect the inner coat of hair which is woolly.
This breed exists in different colors. Face markings are a distinctive feature. These consist of a kind of headdress that covers the head. The face, or is it completely white, or has a stripe and / or a mask. The tail carried over the back has the appearance of an undulating plume. Her hair is abundant.

The malamute is endowed with a strong boss and its limbs do not present any defect. Feet are good, the chest is deep and the shoulders are powerful.

It has all the other necessary physical structures that allow the effective fulfillment of your task. His movements are fluid, balanced, tireless and fully efficient. This dog is not designed to compete with others pulling the sled in speed races, its value lies in its strength and endurance. Any individual characteristic, including temperament, that interferes in the realization of this purpose, must be considered the most serious of offenses.

IMPORTANT PROPORTIONS: The height of the chest corresponds to approximately half the height at the withers; The lowest chest point is exactly behind the forearm. The length of the body, taken from the tip of the shoulder to the tip of the buttock, exceeds the height at the withers.



Behavior / temperament:

The Malamute is an affectionate dog, friendly and not a single master's dog. He is a loyal and devoted companion, willing to play when encouraged, but usually impresses with dignity as an adult.

Head:

It's wide and deep, but it is not coarse or heavy and should be proportionate to the size of the dog. The expression is sweet and indicates an affectionate disposition.

Cranial region:
  • Skull: Wide and moderately rounded between the ears. Narrowing and gradually flattening at the top, close to the eyes; it is round in the region of the cheeks, which are rather flat. A slight furrow can be seen between the eyes. The upper line of the skull and the upper line of the snout form almost a straight line.
  • Depression links (Stop): Light.

facial region:

  • Truffle: In all the colors of the fur, except for the red, It is black, as well as the lips and edge of the eyelids.
    Brown is allowed in red-coated dogs. The nose "e snow" is accepted, which is marked by a lighter band.
  • Snout: It is big and massive, in relation to the size of the skull. Its width and depth decrease very little from the junction with the skull to the nose..
  • Lips: They are tight.
  • Jaws / Teeth: Both jaws are wide and have strong teeth. The incisors form a scissor bite. Both upper and lower prognathism constitute a fault.

EYES: They are arranged obliquely on the skull. They are chestnut, almond-shaped and medium-sized. Blue eyes are an eliminatory foul.

EARS: Medium-sized, although small in relation to the skull. They are triangular in shape and slightly rounded at the end.. Well separated implantation, They are located on the external edges of the back of the skull, aligned to the upper corner of the eye, for which, when the ears are pricked, seem to move away from the skull. When they are upright, ears point slightly forward, but when the dog works, sometimes they bend and stick to the skull. High set ears are a fault.

Neck:

They are arranged obliquely on the skull. They are chestnut, almond-shaped and medium-sized. Blue eyes are an eliminatory foul.

Body:

It is compact in construction, but it is not excessively short. Must not be overweight, and bone structure is in proportion to size.

  • Back: Straight; descends in a slight incline to the hips. Pork loin: Solid and well muscled. A long loin that can weaken
    the back constitutes a foul.
  • Breast : Well developed.

Tail:

Medium insertion following the spine line. The dog carries it on his back when he is at rest. It does not support the upper line, nor does it twist into a closed curl on the back, nor is it covered with short hairs like the fox's tail. The Malamute's tail is very bushy and has the appearance of a wavy plume..

Tips

PREVIOUS MEMBERS: They are muscular and strong boned. Seen from the front, are straight up to the metacarpals.

Shoulder: They are moderately oblique.

Metacarpus: Seen in profile, they are short, solid and slightly oblique.

Previous feet: The feet are "snow racket" type, closed and thick with well-cushioned ear cushions for a firm and compact look. They are large and the toes are close together and well arched. Protective hair grows between the fingers. The pads are thick and tough. Fingernails are short and strong.

LATER MEMBERS: They must be wide. Seen from the back, both when the dog is standing, like when in action, they must be perfectly aligned with the forelimbs. Seen from the back, the dog is not too narrow, not too wide. Hind limb dewclaws are undesirable and should be removed soon after the pups are born.

Thigh: It must be well muscled.Knee: Its angulation is moderate.

Hocks: Its joint is moderately bent and well lowered.

Hind feet: The feet are "snow racket" type, closed and thick with well-cushioned ear cushions for a firm and compact look. They are large and the toes are close together and well arched. Protective hair grows between the fingers. The pads are thick and tough. Fingernails are short and strong.

Movement:

Is loose, fluid, balanced and powerful. The Malamute is agile, taking into consideration its weight and size. Profile views, the hindlimbs produce a strong impulse that is transmitted to the forelimbs through a well-muscled lumbar region. This impulse received by the forelimbs produces a sustained and long movement. Front or back views The limbs move in a straight line and are not even together, not too far apart. During the fast jog, limbs tend to converge on the body's center of gravity. A rigid step, or any movement that is not completely effective and tireless should be penalized.

Mantle

Fur: The outer layer of hairs is thick and rough, never long, nor soft. The undercoat of hairs is dense, of 2,5 to 5 cm. (1-2 ins) of thickness. It is also oily and woolly. Hair length is variable, both on the rough outer coat, as in the inner layer. The hair ranges from relatively short to medium on the lateral parts of the body; its length increases around the shoulders and neck, on the back and on the rump, as well as in pants and plume. Usually, the Malamute has shorter and less dense hair during the summer months. At the exhibitions, this breed must be presented in the natural state. Grooming is only allowed to give the feet a clean appearance.

Color: Usual colors vary, from light gray through intermediate tones to black to red. The combination of colors in the inner layer of hairs is accepted, in the face (supraciliary arches, ears, lips, nose) and between the white and pigmented areas. The only uniform color that is accepted is white. This is always the predominant color in the lower parts of the trunk, a part of the limbs, the feet and a part of the facial markings. A white stripe across the forehead, a necklace, the both, as well as a small spot on the neck they attract attention and are admitted. The Malamute's coat is laid out like a blanket; an irregular color spreading over the whole body or in the form of asymmetric splashes should not be allowed.



Size and weight:

This breed has a natural range of sizes.

For work, the desired sizes are: 63,5 cm. (25 inches) height at the withers for a weight of 38 kg (85 English pounds) in males, and in females 58,5 cm. (23 inches) height at the withers for a weight of 34 kg (75 English pounds). But, size considerations should not be more important than type, the proportions, movement and everything that concerns function. If during the judging some dogs are of equal type, proportions and function, The one that is closest to the desired size will be selected to be able to carry out heavy work.

IMPORTANT: When judging the Malamute, what should prevail over any other consideration is its function as a sled dog used to haul heavy loads. The severity of the penalty will depend on how far the specimen deviates from the description of the ideal Malamute and to what extent a particular defect affects work ability.. Malamute's extremities must show an unusual force and a very great propulsion power. Any sign of imperfection in the limbs or feet, front or rear, either when the dog is standing, or when in action, should be considered a serious offense. Given these preconditions, Faults would be the following: crushed feet, cow hocks, defective metacarpals, straight shoulders, lack of angulation, Rigid movement (or any movement that is not balanced, energetic and uniform), lack of substance, chest that is not deep enough, thick or light-boned body and mediocre overall proportions.



Fouls:

Any deviation from the aforementioned criteria is considered as a fault and the severity of this is considered to the degree of the deviation to the standard and its consequences on the health and well-being of the dog..

FALTAS DESCALIFICANTES:

  • Aggressiveness or extreme shyness.
  • Any dog โ€‹โ€‹showing clear signs of physical or behavioral abnormalities.
  • Aggressive or fearful dog.
  • Blue eyes.


N.B.:

History

Ceramic figures from Japan that show representations of dogs have been preserved since ancient times., that look like this Japanese breed. The current breed dates back to crosses with the now extinct inu Japanese. The original field of application of these dogs was hunting, more precisely hunting in the prefecture of Kochi on isla de Shikoku – That is why the race is sometimes called ยซperro Kochiยซ. But, name Tosa-Inu, which is used in part in Japan, it's misleading, Because under the name ยซTosaยปThere is also another Japanese race. It also, three varieties of Shikoku, which were named after the respective region in which they live: pity, Hongawa and Hata. As the Hongawa region was the most difficult to access in the past, This variety is considered to be the least modified by other influences and the closest to the ideal of Shikoku. Today, the Shikoku It is considered the national dog of Japan along with the Akita.

Shikoku Physical Characteristics

the typical silhouette Spitz characterizes the Shikoku: It has relatively small, erect ears and a compact body. The tail is well placed and curled over the back. This medium-sized breed with a height at the withers of about 53 cm is located between the Akita bigger and the Shiba Inu smallest within the Japanese family Spitz. For many laymen in Europe this four-legged friend is also reminiscent of a dog which is seen much more often here, the Siberian Husky. The Shikoku coat can be black sesame or white sesame. The dense coat consists, as is typical in dogs of the type Spitz, on a long, hard top coat over a soft, dense undercoat.

Shikoku character and abilities

Shikoku

The loyalty, intelligence and a certain stubbornness form the character of this dog with an agile nature. He is vigilant and behaves in a neutral manner to the point of distancing himself from strangers. When they meet conspecifics, conflicts can occur, particularly with males, because the Shikoku tend to dominate. As a hunting dog it is characterized by its corresponding sharpness.

His original behavior can also be seen in his dealings with people – he likes to lick his reference people and looks for physical contact. Sometimes shows a conspicuous preference for unpleasant odors from the human point of view. The Shikoku He is very agile and likes to be outdoors – however impetuous it may be on the move here, a Shikoku busy behaves calmly and pleasantly indoors, where he appreciates quiet hours and pampering.

Shikoku Care

The coat of this Japanese hunting dog is robust and easy to care for, but it must be brushed regularly, especially during coat change twice a year. advice: If you brush your dog every day during this time, It will greatly reduce hair loss at home and also shorten the "hairy phase" in a few days. Outside these few weeks of the year, grooming every few days is enough. Check your ears right now too, so you can clean them with dog ear cleaner if needed. You must bathe your dog very rarely, at most every few months, and then use a mild dog shampoo. But, it makes sense to get the puppy used to bathing. But, it is usually sufficient to simply remove the dried dirt from the coat. Check the length of the claws – especially with older dogs – to shorten claws that are too long with special pliers. This is how injuries are prevented.

Shikoku Education

If he Shikoku respects his two-legged pack leader as a wise and just leader, will gladly follow your instructions. But, first you need to earn the respect of this dog. Be consistent and bring some tolerance to the small, thick skull of this four-legged friend, that will never be completely subordinate.

Screaming or harshness will not help you and will destroy your relationship with this loyal companion.. A thorough knowledge of dog training is needed to direct the dominance and hunting instinct of dogs. Shikoku in regular courses. Please, keep in mind that only a well-trained breed of dog can make a well-behaved friend, otherwise you will look for another job.

Attending classes with dog trainers in general can be of great benefit, so that the Shikoku that tends to dominate, get stronger in social affairs and learn to get along with other dogs. Male dogs in particular can face challenges that need to be countered from puppyhood. So do not underestimate the importance of the socialization phase, because any omission can only be corrected with difficulty.

Shikoku Health

These robust dogs are considered tough and persistent. They hardly have a genetic disposition for disease, if the breeding is done responsibly. It goes without saying that you should only buy puppies from a reputable breeder who belongs to a club.. The breeder will give you competent information about the care of your animal and show you the corresponding tests. In good health, Shikoku reaches an average age of about 13 years.

Where can I find my Shikoku?

The breed is one of the very rare breeds outside of Japan. Consequently, find a puppy of Shikoku can be difficult if you have decided to have one as a new member of the family. But don't despair, because there are a handful of serious breeders in Europe who are dedicated to this breed. The first official litter outside of Japan was in 2000 in the Netherlands, where the breeders of Shikoku continue to regularly deliver litters to responsible hands. But, you may have to accept a longer trip before you can give your puppy a hug from Shikoku. No matter how rare the breed is, don't reduce the demands you can and should make on serious parenting. Learn about puppy care, of your health, ask the breeders and ask them to show you the appropriate tests, for example, in connection with exams for hip dysplasia. Of course, the breeder must also belong to a club. Will be happy to give you some good advice, but in return you will also have some questions to see if you can offer a good home to one of your protรฉgรฉs.

If you are looking for a Shikoku adult, you will need a lot of luck in europe. It is more promising to look for crosses of type Spitz in animal shelters and also get an impression of the breeds of Nordic Spitz.

Physical characteristics

The main external feature of the Dachshund it's his downfall, called chondrodystrophy. This chondrodystrophy is a mutation of the cartilage that, among other things, produces dwarfism in long bones.

The humble character of Dachshund is combined with an elongated and slim body.

The Dachshund is bred in two lines: as a hunting dog and as a companion dog. In the line of companion dogs also move lovers of dog shows, where it's over and over again at the expense of the well-being and health of dogs, for example if dogs are bred too long and too low.

But, you should never expect me to climb the stairs, at least not regularly. The Dachshund he is a hunter and a dog who enjoys nature. Regular excursions must be allowed, if possible daily, to the nature. Despite its short legs, the Dachshund has amazing resistance. It is always impressive to see with what zeal, speed and endurance this dog runs through nature.

In a restaurant or hotel, he knows how to behave. The Dachshund it is an excellent family dog. Can be problematic with other pets due to their hunting instincts.
