History

The Bavarian Mountain Hound it is a medium sized hunting dog. He is a highly developed specialist, but at the same time versatile in hunting. Tracking work is his specialty. Master the search and hunt and especially the tracking. On the trail, keep track of an injured animal. Fast and infallible dog work is crucial to reduce the suffering of the prey.

The Bavarian Mountain Hound dates back to ancient dog breeds. These hounds are also called ยซBrackenยป. For hunting, which was an important way of life for our ancestors for thousands of years, dogs with a particularly good sense of smell and an intelligent sense of detection were of great importance. Trace Dogs were also needed to hunt criminals.

For the Teutons a good Scent hound worth more than a horse. This is attested by a legal text of more than 1000 years of antiguaty, el Lex Baiuwariorum. A document of the year 1459 later attests to Bracken's donation to the Tegrinsee monastery (today Tegernsee) by a Count Kaspar Tรถrring. Already at that time the count systematically raised the Bracken according to a breeding book. The actual Bavarian Mountain Hound also descends from these Bracken.

In 1870 he also grew up Hanoverian Scenthound. This resulted in a modern and versatile helper for the ranger and hunter.. The dogs had to be distinguished by their high performance in hunting. At the same time, they had to cope with the harsh conditions of the mountains. So, sharp stones were not allowed to bother them as much as storms, snow or high demands on your ability to climb. In 1883 took place the first official exhibition of the Bavarian Mountain Hound. In 1912 was founded the Klub fรผr Bayerische GebirgsschweiรŸhunde, who has since been very successful in caring for these dogs.

After World War II, the genetic bottleneck was worked on by crossing into the Tyrolean hound. Although the breed is very rare, is spread throughout Germany. His breeding is organized in a very responsible way. To avoid โ€œelite or champion breedingโ€ the number of offspring of a breeding animal is limited to 18 to 20. On the other hand, at least one animal from each litter raised must be reintroduced into the breed if there are no signs of inherited diseases. It also, breeding is only allowed with dogs that have passed performance tests anyway. The breeding of Bavarian Mountain Hound is a model, a project, how to breed healthy and strong pedigree dogs, even with a numerically very small population. They are raised between 10 and 12 litters with 60 to 80 puppies per year. These go almost only to the professional hands of professional rangers and hunters.

History

The Brazilian Tracker It was a breed of dog originating in Brazil, that was recognized by the FCI the 1 in September of 1967 in the Group 6 / Section 1.1 – Large size hounds with number 275. In fact, It was the first Brazilian to be recognized by the FCI breed of dog.

The Brazilian Tracker it's a Scent hound. The breed is also known under the names Urrador (his voice) or Urrador American.

It was developed in the Decade of 1950 by Oswaldo Aranha Filho (In janeiro river), to hunt peccaries (they are pigs of medium-sized and wild that found in all Central and South America), Jaguars, and other types of dams typical of the country.

Aranha Filho combined a number of breeds of hunting from America and Europe along with some native dogs of Brazil to create your dog. The Brazilian Tracker became Brazil's first race and it was what earned it the recognition of international dog associations.

The glory of being a breed officially recognized at the international level lasted barely six years, time in which by neglect and a series of relief, the race was decimated.

At that time there was only one breeder of Brazilian Tracker, Mr Oswaldo Aranha Filho, the creator of the race... And, their copies suffered because of two events, first of all an outbreak of babesiosis.

Babesiosis (or babesiosis) It is a parasitic disease similar to malaria caused by protozoa of the genus Babesia and usually affect pets, especially to dogs. Its name was established in honor of the Romanian biologist Victor BabeลŸ, He was the first to isolate the pathogen. It is the typical disease that is transmitted through a vector organism, usually the tick (Ixodes dammini); in fact, This mite is the same that transmit Lyme disease and, often, both are associated with.

Y, in the second place, many of the dogs suffered poisoning from excess pesticide used by an employee of the farm.

It was exactly in the year 1973, when the Fรฉdรฉration Cynologique Internationale declared the dog breed Brazilian Tracker, officially extinct. Which led to him losing his classification number since, prompted the cancellation of the registration.

Since the FCI and the Brazilian Confederation of Cynophilia They declared this extinct breed, have carried out various efforts and programs of to retrieve it.

Physical characteristics

The standard of the breed of 1970 declaring a size between 62 and 67 cm and very similar in appearance to the Black and tan coonhound.

There have been attempts underway to recreate the race from a mixture of American Foxhound, Black and tan coonhound, and the Small Blue Gascony, English Foxhound, and Bluetick Coonhound.

The Rescue Support Group Brazilian Tracker of Brazil, a club dedicated to the restoration of the breed, Brazil, He devoted himself to organize - aim- a list of forty breeding animals of the correct type as, puediesen be certified as members of the race, in order to restore the race and return to be recognised by the Kennel Club of Brazil.

The re-establishment of the breed, It has not been an easy task, due to the existence of very few pure specimens, and above all by the lack of social interest, There are very few people interested in the recovery of the true Brazilian cultural heritage and the genetics of the breed.

Character and skills

At the moment, the character is not easy to illustrate or define. Efforts to restore the breed continue today., and are being used in breeding programs, breeds used in his development with the descendants of mixed races found in all Brazil.

But, the race again in the various canine clubs list (small) and dog organizations in North America, for the promotion of a rare species for those seeking an unusual pet.

As it's a race in the process of being rebuilt, no data on specific diseases or extraordinary health demands.

The Brazilian Tracker is a hunting dog, not a type of dog that has traditionally been used as a pet.

The copies that exist today, fruit of the reconstruction, they tend to be very independent animals and, sometimes, somewhat stubborn, with a strong instinct of prey that, leads him to chase the small animals that live in the house... But with proper socialization, any dog is a good dog.

Some claim that it comes from a cross between the Gascon Saintongeois and the Small Blue Gascony, others that it is the result of a mutation of the Great Gascony Blue after the French Revolution, when commoners, who were now allowed to hunt, they needed a slower dog that they could keep on foot.

    Endangered in the 19th century, the breed was reborn in the early 20th century at the initiative of a few western breeders. Its first standard was published in 1919.

    Recognized in 1963 by the Fรฉdรฉration Cynologique Internationale (FCI), the Blue Gascony Basset still rare outside of France. In North America, the breed obtained official recognition from the United Kennel Club (UKC) in 1991, as well as the American Association of Rare Breeds, but it is ignored by the American Kennel Club (AKC) and the Canadian Kennel Club (CKC).

    Even within the French borders, its extension was minimal until 1980. Since then, the Blue Gascony Basset, although it has become more known, has maintained its status as a little-known dog, especially in the southern region. They are often called "chien du Midi" because of their origin in the regions of Bรฉarn and Gascogne. Even today, most breeders of Blue Gascony Basset are found in the west and south of the country.

    This breed represents a little more than 150 records in TFO – Central Canine Society.

    There are four breeds recognized as โ€œGascony Blueโ€ by the FCI:

    The Great Gascony Blue and the Small Blue Gascony they are the best-known varieties.

    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.

When is the dog in action, forms a graceful curve above the dorsal line; never kinks, nor does it deviate laterally. His part covered with rougher hair, of about 5 cm., that gets progressively shorter towards the limb.

    • Hock: Solid, well angled; comes close to the ground. Metatarsals: Strong and short.
    • Hind feet: As the front.

    Movement:

    The judging of the marches, very typical of Chien de Saint-Hubert, it's extremely important. During the normal step, that is to say, the trot, the movement is uniform, steps provided; it is elastic and loose, covering more ground than any other hunting dog, and something that is very characteristic, with a balance, although not through. Hind limbs are directed well back, with good rear third drive. The amplitude of the movements of the forelimbs and hindlimbs is uniform and the upper line remains horizontal. The members move in parallel, but at a higher speed the feet get closer. The tail is high, Sabre-shaped, not too kinky though. The Chien de Saint-Hubert must be able to maintain a long trot without showing signs of fatigue.

    Mantle

    Flexible over the whole body, loose and elastic. Thin skin is very characteristic, very loose and abundant on the head. On the forehead and lateral faces of the muzzle, the skin forms hanging folds that are even more marked when the head is down. But, Very pronounced wrinkles and folds on the forehead and superciliary arches should never obstruct the eyes. Folds on the body caused by overly extended skin are undesirable.

    Fur: On the body the hair is straight, short, dense, quite hard and resistant to inclement weather. Over the ears and head, it is very short and soft to the touch. The lower part of the tail has slightly longer and rougher hairs.

    Color:

    We can distinguish three colors in the fur:

    • the bicolor black and tan (ยซblack and tanยป),
    • liver and fire (ยซliver and tanยป
    • solid red (ยซredยป).

    In black and tan dogs, the black varies, depending on whether it is a blanket or a chair. In a dog with a blanket, black predominates; the fire (leonado), occurs only on the muzzle, cheeks, on top of the eyes, on the front of the thorax, in the limbs and in the perianal region. A dog with a chair has a more widespread tan color, since the black is more or less limited to the dorsal part. The same arrangements of color zones are present in bicolor liver and tan dogs.. Colors are not always well defined, nor clearly delimited. In the darkest parts, longer or badger hairs may be scattered. This mix of different color hairs is accepted. In unicolor dogs, red can vary from light to dark. Faded tan is not desirable in bicolor dogs, nor the faded red in single-colored dogs. Tolerated, although it is not favored, a little white on the front of the chest, on the fingers and the tip of the tail.

    Basset Fauve de Bretagne

    The Basset Fauve de Bretagne has a loose and lively temperament

    History

    The Basset Fauve de Bretagne descends in a direct line from the "Grand Fauve de Bretagne", ancient trail breed, today almost completely disappeared that was used for fox and wild boar hunting, in the most dense forest. His parent has retained the qualities of exceptional Hunter and his fogosidad to, often, It is braking with crosses with the Petit Basset Griffon Vendรฉen.

    In the 16th century there were four varieties of large dogs in France, the difference between them was more than remarkable in relation to the color of the coat and texture. The four varieties were white (du role), Fawn of the (Bretagne), grey (St Louis du) and the black. All of today's varieties of French hunting dogs seem to have their origin in repeated crossbreeding and mutations of these four types..

    Estos โ€œGrand Fauve de Bretagneโ€, they were very big dogs, between 70 and 74 cm to the cross. They were known for their effectiveness in the early stages of a hunt.. his bravery, his thin nose, its resistance to cold and humidity and its impetus to hunt its prey, wild boar usually, made them ideal dogs for the thorny thickets of Northwest France. This large variety of Basset Fauve de Bretagne seems to have died out in France. The only representative of the Great "Grand Fauve de Bretagne", is the Fawn Brittany Griffon (48 – 56 cm.), very popular in France.

    There is considerable doubt about how the reduction of the overall size of the race was reduced to half. One theory suggests that it was initiated by selection of smaller litter size specimens., another for the breeding of the smallest specimens for countless generations. In the 19th century there were numerous litters made up entirely of Basset Fauve de Bretagne.

    In the Decade of 1970, as the Basset Fauve de Bretagne It became popular, French hunters decided to introduce new lines. It is generally believed that the Petit Basset Griffon Vendรฉen was used to improve their ability to, possibly, hunting and the Sausage dog to preserve the color of your hair.

    The Basset Fauve de Bretagne was first registered with the Kennel Club in September of 1991.

    Physical characteristics

    Endowed with a truly incredible resistance, the Basset Fauve de Bretagne is able to hunt for days on end without showing any signs of exhaustion or tiredness.

    Like all Basset French breeds that come from larger size, also it maintains the characteristics of hair, the most voluminous dog head and color which comes. Its trunk while long, is very strong and compact and, Despite the relatively short limbs, moving with enough speed and ease. In any case, It should never have a too short head or seem excessively high on the extremities, as well as the hair should not appear soft or soft to the touch.

    "Basset Fauve de Bretagne"

    Ears fall almost at the level of the eyes, not very long, barely reaching the end of the snout, and they end up in tip, they are covered with hair thinner than the rest of body, but never silky.

    Character and skills

    The Basset Fauve de Bretagne is still required today for rabbit hunting, especially in low forests, where shrubs and las matas prevent passing other hounds.

    It is still quite common in Brittany today, prized for their natural qualities and its perfect adaptation to the landscape, tough and rugged in that area. It's very hard to find, being virtually unknown outside of France.

    It has a loose and lively temperament, so it needs to live always in the open air, that poorly fits the House. However, with a small space on the outside, or with usual and regular walks, the Basset Fauve de Bretagne could be an ideal pet.
