Slovakian Hound
Eslovaquia FCI 244 - Medium-sized Hounds

Slovakian Hound

The Slovakian Hound stands out for its extraordinary sense of direction, which is considered the best among the canine breeds.

Content

History

It has remote and completely unknown origins.: its official recognition dates back to after World War II, but the breed already existed for centuries.

While there are no historical records, the Slovenskรฝ Kopov is widely believed to have existed in central Europe for many hundreds of years and to have descended from other local breeds, including the Austrian Black and Tan Hound and the Polish Hound.

Not widely kept for any purpose other than hunting, the Slovakian Hound He has honed his hunting skills over the centuries and is respected within Slovakia for his tracking ability and endurance. Despite its proven track record in the field, rarely seen internationally. curiously, when seen internationally, It is sometimes called the "Black Forest Dog.", a completely wrong name, since the Slovakian Hound it's not now, and has never been, native to the Black Forest region.

Like many other breeds of dogs of the time, the population of the Slovakian Hound decreased dramatically during the period of the World Wars. It is attributed to a Slovak named Koloman Snail having brought the race from the brink of extinction at this time, by establishing successful breeding programs nationwide.

Officially accepted as a breed in the decade of 1870, the first club of the breed Slovakian Hound was recently formed in 1988, in the capital of Bratislava. The Slovakian Hound it is so popular in its birthplace that it has been named the national breed of Slovakia.

Physical characteristics

Always black with fire marks, the Slovakian Hound have solid bones despite their fairly slight stature. The body is in the shape of an elongated rectangle. His eyes reflect vivacity and courage. They are dark and almond-shaped. The ears are of medium length, rounded at the tip and falls flat against the head. This dog is notable for its constancy in following a cool trail or trail for hours, giving the voice without hesitation. They are also distinguished by their bite, so they are used in their native country to hunt wild boars and other carnivores.

He is endowed with a lively temperament. Your sense of direction is extraordinarily well developed.

Hair is 2-5 cm long, medium thick, well lying, dense. Longer in the back, neck and tail. The undercoat is dense, especially during the winter months; However, it should not be absent in summer either.

SIZE AND WEIGHT :

Males 45-50 cm.

females 40-45 cm.

Weight: 15-20 kg

Character and skills

This determined hunter must be tenacious when on the road and courageous when facing the animals he hunts., like the boar and the deer. They have excellent olfactory abilities and will painstakingly trace a scent back to the source. An independent animal that is happy to work with a minimum of human interaction, the Slovakian Hound need little direction. Despite this, they are obedient, and they will happily follow their master's plans when necessary.

The Slovakian Hound it's a good watchdog, as he is continuously alert and observant. This, along with the fact that they become devoted to their owners, means they are often protective, and can be used successfully as watchdogs, becoming potentially aggressive if the situation calls for it. Barking can be a problem and is a common complaint of many owners.. Excessive barking can be prevented by ensuring that the Slovakian Hound you are not under-exercised and have plenty of activities and jobs to fill your day.

Health

The Slovakian Hound it is a very resistant dog. In the country of origin the owner has a dog, rarely from, who does not live in a kennel but in contact with the master from morning to night, often used as a general purpose dog, taking care of the house as well as the cattle, and of course hunting. It is adapted to outdoor life and has an iron constitution.

Care and maintenance

The Slovakian Hound it is a very resistant dog, no particular grooming problems. Short hair, when he comes back from hunting he will be the happiest in the world if you give him the necessary brushstroke for a superficial cleaning at the level of the spikes, caught between the pads, ticks possibly not yet attached.

He will quickly get used to coming to you for this cleaning because he is looking for contact with his master.

Qualities

It's a farm dog, the quintessential farm dog. Bad guys just do that. The good ones are able to give the voice, to take the lead by yelling or barking directly at any stranger before coming into view. A good Slovakian Hound should give voice instantly. Not after ten minutes (although, depending on the conditions…). The smell of Slovakian Hound it's excellent, as fine as that of the best Hounds, but his hunting style leads him to voice only in the moment, and of course staring.

The Slovakian Hound is a search engine, a hunting finder. Hunting instinct is among the best hounds, really very developed, off the beaten path as in some Warren hound and some representatives of primitive races.

Farm dog, you don't need to see the animal, the wild boar to bark after, like some pointing dogs that only bark at sight, or to the noise. With experience, depending on origins, will start barking after turning around to make sure the animal is ten meters away, or more. Once you have fired the bark it will zoom in pretty quickly, but always with care, always staying safe. The Slovakian Hound is not a brave and daring specialist like some races of German Hunting Terrier or pointing dogs, who are inevitably injured frequently. With the, used in its specificity, theoretically, no need for a boar vest, because he knows how to handle attacks. Some are never hurt, if used properly, alone or as a couple.

The Slovakian Hound is a dog that is easy to start with the boar. Because it's in their nature, to bark, and the only animal that does not automatically flee but goes to meet is the wild boar. If you are accustomed to hunting on hunts where wild boar are rare but deer are numerous, you will enjoy easily guiding your animals for half an hour or more, but as soon as he perceives that there is a wild boar in the area, will leave this animal too elusive to go and do what it was designed to do.

A good Slovakian Hound, alone or as a couple, it is rarely caught by a wild boar. Otherwise, in dog teams he becomes a vulnerable dog like any other because his passion is terrible, and there, better equip it with a vest…

Schiller Hound

The spread of Schiller Hound is regular in your country of origin, but very small abroad.

Content

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.

Physical characteristics

The conformation of Schiller Hound it's that of an athletic dog, and with his well-muscled body and strong limbs, you are clearly well suited to your job role. 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.

The Schiller Hound It is a medium to large sized hound for hunting fox and hare, what does it measure 53-61 cm to the withers and weighs 18-25 kg . The coat is rough and not too short, and it's close to the body.

Character and skills

These vivacious dogs live life to the fullest and are a pleasure to be around. Always alert, they need a lot of attention and crave human companionship. The Schiller Hound they will form a close bond with their family, and although they tolerate children well, require supervision when with younger children, as they can be quite disruptive.

The Schiller Hound are normally kept indoors and can be calm and polite housemates, although they can bark melodiously at times. The watchful nature of this dog means that it will always alert its owner to any unannounced guests., However, they are not territorial enough to be used as guard dogs. This dog's distrust of new people can be a problem, although this can usually be overcome by early and thorough socialization.

Although it is not conventionally worked in packs of dogs, the Schiller Hound can socialize well with other dogs if given the opportunity. Of course, smaller animals are not safe in their company and are likely to be seen as little more than prey.

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.

    History

    It is said that the Swiss Hound is among the oldest members of the Group of Hounds. According to a 15th century letter to Ernst, Elector of Saxony (1441-86), Swiss working dogs were among the best. Images from the 17th century show packs of hounds "with the same color and the same size, "big heads and very long ears".

    Three centuries later, the german dog writer Richard Strebel wrote in ยซDie Deutschen Hundeยป (German dog breeds, 1903-05) that the hounds that lived separately in a restricted area of โ€‹โ€‹Switzerland therefore developed separately.

    In the decade of 1890, it seemed that purebred bloodhounds were marked for death in Switzerland, despite the breeding Schwyz Hound, Bernese Hound and Lucerne Hound. Some hounds were exported to Scandinavia and, thanks to the crossing with native hounds, the Stรถvares (scandinavian hounds) they were blooming. But at the same time, the Thurgauer Laufhund quietly disappeared in Switzerland, and the Aargauer Laufhund gave way to Jura Hound (Bruno Jura Hound).

    In 1903, J. Dust del Swiss Kennel Club founded the Schweizerische Laufhunde-Club (Swiss Hound Club) and in 1907 an appeal was made to save the Swiss hound of extinction. Then something remarkable happened: the breed club bought good quality Swiss hounds and gave them to prudent breeders and hunters. Test rules and regulations were developed and a series of obligations were established: to) only one dog at a time when hunting; b) the dog had to be under control when searching for game; c) a dog that disappeared during the hunt had to return to its master within half an hour; y d) the dog was to return as soon as the horn sounded, regardless of whether the dog was looking. Using these rules, the breed club tried to exclude disobedient dogs and forced owners to properly breed and train their dogs.

    Four varieties

    The development of Swiss Hound started in the decade of 1930, but it took time and effort. In 1937, only five hounds were entered in the Swiss herd book. The Dr. O. Vollenweider managed to gather 11 hound collectors in the city of Soleura, in northwestern Switzerland. Dogs suitable for breeding were selected and, in 1933, a breed standard was published. In the standard, the varieties were distinguished by coat color and pattern.

    In 1944, 150 Swiss hounds were entered in a hound exhibition. (as a neutral country, Switzerland did not participate in WWII) It was no longer forbidden to work with dogs that gave tongue, and bloodhounds of more than 20 inches (50 centimeters) to the cross.

    Attempts to save or restore the Laufhund de Argovia they were unsuccessful; in 1933, the breed standard was canceled. Four varieties remained: the Bernese Hound, the Jura Hound (Bruno Jura Hound), the Lucerne Hound and the Schwyz Hound. Their names connect them with cities and areas of Switzerland (Berne, Lucerne, Jura), or with Switzerland.

    It is said that between 1902 and 1922, a few 1.200 swiss hounds, mainly Schwyz Hound white-yellow, they were raised in Norway. Some years, there were more Swiss Hounds outside of Switzerland than in their country of origin. In 1993, about 1.000 copies of Lucerne Hound they lived in sweden.

    France is another importer. Seventy-five Jura Hound (Bruno Jura Hound) enrolled in an exhibition in Lyon in 1976. It is not surprising that the Jura is predominantly found in France and Switzerland, and that it extends to Germany. Since the 15th century, Swiss hounds were also exported to Italy. According to raven, they frequently crossed paths with his Italian cousin, the Italian short-haired Segugio.

    History

    The Shiba Inu It is an ancient breed of Japanese dog. It is also known as Shiba or Shiba Ken. Shiba means "small" and "Inuยป or ยซKenยป means ยซdogยป in Japanese.

    The Shiba It is the smallest of the six recognized Japanese dog breeds.

    Historical representatives of the breed were much smaller and short-legged than current specimens. Mountain farmers kept them as farm dogs and to hunt small game and birds.. They could develop independently of other races and changed little. Towards the end of the 19th century the British brought their English Setters and Pointer. As a result, the Shiba Purebred became a rarity within a few decades. Almost a hundred years ago the breed was almost extinct. Around the year 1928 early breeders began to revive the breed and in 1934 established an official standard. Internationally, the FCI tells it in the Group 5 ยซSpitz-type and primitive type dogsยป in Section 5 "Asian Spitz and related breeds".

    Physical Characteristics Shiba Inu

    Translated ยซShiba Inuยป simply means ยซlittle dogยป. In fact, the Shiba Inu, weighing up to 13 kg, is the smallest representative of the six breeds of Japanese dogs recognized by the FCI.

    The Shiba Inu is an original dog and a close relative of the wolf. Its appearance is reminiscent of a fox, especially with reddish specimens. Triangular standing ears stand out, the small slightly triangular eyes, as well as the curly tail, which is very close to the back. The hard and straight top coat can have the colors red, black tan, Sesame, as well as black or red sesame. "Sesame" in Japanese dogs means a mixture of red and black hairs. All colors must have the so-called ยซUrajiroยซ. They are whitish hairs on the muzzle, the chest, cheeks, as well as in the lower part of the body and inside the extremities.
