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.

    History

    Video "Basenji"
    Basenji dog sings 2
    Watch this video on YouTube.

    The Basenji It is a breed of dog originating from the Democratic Republic of the Congo.. It is a primitive breed used for hunting and tracking.

    They have the unique characteristic of not barking, but they emit a curious sound in the style of >Tyrolean singing (Yodeling).

    The stone Age images, as well as the tombs of ancient Egypt, already attest to the existence of this type of dog, who has survived the millennia: The Basenji is one of the oldest and most original breeds of dog. He's supposed to be a direct descendant of the Egyptian Testament – this is what dog experts call the dog form that has been handed down to us through Egyptian artwork from the fourth millennium B.C..

    The Basenji comes from Central Africa, where he lived with village communities, but without having been specifically raised or having formed particularly close ties. Rather, they lived like ratcatchers. Often people also followed the hunting of the Basenjis to profit from the prey.. During famines the dogs were even slaughtered.

    By the way, ยซBasenjiยป translated means ยซsmall wild bush animalยป. As early as the late 19th century some Basenjis arrived in Europe with African explorers. But, selective breeding did not begin until 1935 in Britain. Although the dog is native to Africa, Great Britain today has the patronage of the Basenji. From here the breed gradually spread to the rest of Europe.. In Germany, for example, enjoyed greater popularity from the years 70 of the 20th century.

    Did you know??

    The first Basenjis were red and white, tricolor (black and white fire) and black and white. Expeditions in Zaire 1987 and 1988 They introduced 14 dogs with new bloodlines, which brought a beautiful brindle look with tiger stripes.

    There are some studies which point to the Basenji as progenitor of all Terrier.

    Physical characteristics

    The Basenji they are a small breed, elegant appearance, they have short hair, shiny and silky. Their ears are upright, and the tail coiled lead to perfection. Some people, they believe that its appearance similar to a deer in miniature.

    They usually weigh 11 kg and the port tends to be of 40,6 cm., athletic and deceptively powerful for its size. Have a walk safe and elegant like a horse to trot.

    Character and skills

    Recommended for homes with adults. Although all life keeps a restless and playful spirit, When it ends its phase of growth becomes an excellent pet.

    The Basenji is alert, loving, energetic, curious and reserved with strangers. It is a little distant, but it can also form strong ties with the people and can be emotionally sticking to a particular Member of the family, creating a very strong bond.

    Generally does not get along well with other pets other than dogs. likes humid weather, they tend to be very skilled soaring. It can be described as fast, playful, tireless in the game, and naughty.

    One of the curiosities that presents the race, In addition to not bark, It is that sule lick is the hair to be kept clean.

    education

    Like all dogs, the Basenji needs to be socialized from a young age. Meet lots of people (friends, neighbors, family…) allows you to get used to seeing strangers and become a sociable adult. The same goes for other dogs.: if you meet them often from their first months, the risks of dog fights during walks are reduced once he is an adult.

    In his book Intelligence of Dogs (1994), Stanley Coren classifies the Basenji in the post 78 of 79 dog breeds for their intelligence… But, this is potentially a misunderstanding: the Basenji he understands very well what his owner wants from him, but is not really willing to meet your demands. In fact, shows a complete lack of interest in anything related to their education.

    Like this, this extremely independent dog feels no need to please his master. Surely you understand what the command "sit" means?, but I may not see the point and, therefore, decide not to listen. Positive reinforcement methods have had some success, and a treat can be enough motivation, but even the most experienced trainers have a hard time getting them to listen. A novice is likely to be frustrated at being totally ignored despite their best efforts and may regret their choice..

    At the end, it is usually the owner who has to adapt to the dog. These may include, people who live with a Basenji

    Health

    Although it is relatively robust and enjoys a respectable life expectancy (of 12 to 14 years), the Basenji is susceptible to several diseases of varying severity:

    • The Fanconi syndrome, that is not exclusive to this breed, but most of the dogs that suffer from this disease are Basenjis. It is a kidney problem that prevents the reabsorption of nutrients and is usually fatal in the long term.. Fortunately, there is a genetic test to detect carriers and prevent them from reproducing;
    • Colitis enteritis, an overpopulation of a certain type of bacteria in the colon, responsible for violent diarrhea, sometimes with blood;
    • Immunoproliferative intestinal malabsorption, What, as the name reflects, prevents proper absorption of nutrients by the intestine. causes diarrhea, weight loss and can be fatal;
    • Hypothyroidism, a hormonal problem responsible for lethargy and weight gain;
    • Pyruvate kinase deficiency, an enzyme needed by red blood cells. The resulting anemia is often fatal.;
    • Hemophilia type B, a clotting problem that means that even a small accident can cause death;
    • Hernias, inguinal or umbilical, in which an internal organ passes through the abdominal wall, which can be very painful;
    • Eye problems, like the coloboma (a congenital malformation of the retina), progressive retinal atrophy (a degeneration of the eye tissues that leads to vision loss) or the persistence of the pupillary membrane (an abnormality of the eye that usually does not greatly affect vision);
    • Hip Dysplasia, a problem in the hip joint that can cause varying degrees of motor difficulties.

    But, the main cause of death in this breed is age (30% of the cases), according to a survey by the British Kennel Club and the British Small Animal Veterinary Association.

    It also, behavior problems, although they are not usually related to a disease, but they are simply the result of ignorance of the characteristics and needs of the breed by the owner, make many Basenjis be euthanized every year.

    Last, it should be noted that, as it happens with other primitive dogs, the females of Basenjis they only go into heat once a year. Most litters are born between October and December.

    Life expectancy

    12 to 14 years

    Grooming

    Although it is very difficult to train, the Basenji it is an easy breed to care for.

    A quick brushing of their short coat once a week is enough to remove dead hair.. But, they shed twice a year, and it may be helpful to switch to two or three times a week in the spring to deal with excess dead hair. This is much less necessary in the fall, when the moult is much less pronounced and may even go unnoticed.

    It also, just like cats, this dog grooms itself. And since he doesn't like water, not one to come back dirty after jumping in puddles or rolling around in the mud. So, bathing your dog is rarely necessary.

    But, as with any dog, the brushing session should be used to check and clean the eyes and ears to reduce the risk of infection.

    It's also a good time to brush your dog's teeth, to avoid the accumulation of tartar and all the risks that this entails. Ideally, do it more often., even daily.

    Last, wear and tear is usually enough to limit the claws of this especially active animal. But, if not and they start to get too long, it is necessary to do it manually with a dog nail clipper, to prevent breakage or injury.

    Food

    The Basenji not picky about food. But, since the shoes, smartphones and other magazines you can devour don't really meet your nutritional needs, it is necessary to provide daily industrial food for dogs. They must be of good quality to provide all the nutrients you need, but also adapted to their age, size and activity level.

    Being a very active dog, the Basenjis are not prone to obesity problems. But, it is advisable to weigh your dog from time to time to ensure that he is not overweight. If you do, reducing his daily food intake and increasing the time he is allowed to go outside should solve the problem.

    It also, like all dogs, must have fresh water available at all times.

    For sale "Basenji"

    The price of a puppy Basenji it's average 1000 euros for a male and 800 euros for a female.

    whatever the place, the amount charged depends on the lineage from which it comes, of the prestige of the hatchery, but also of the degree of conformity of the individual with the standard of the breed.

    Brazilian Terrier

    Due to his easy training and his physical gifts, the Brazilian terrier in Brazil it is used as a circus dog.

    Content

    History

    Although the Brazilian terrier was originally from Brazil, his ancestors did not come from South America, but mainly from Europe. In the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, many Brazilian youths studied at European universities, especially in England and France. It was not uncommon for them to come home married, and their wives sometimes brought small terrier-type dogs with them.. These were mixed with the native males and females, so a breed of dog developed, whose members looked different and literally strange.

    But in a few generations the phenotype of the Brazilian terrier. It is believed to be the result of crossing Pinscher, Chihuahua and Jack Russel Terrier.

    By the way, the Brazilian terrier became familiar with the different living conditions in Brazil: At first, families with their dogs lived in the countryside before being attracted to large urban centers., that gradually developed. The Brazilian terrier used to serve primarily as a rat catcher. In the meantime, However, its field of application has been expanded: they are excellent guard and family dogs.

    Selective breeding of this breed of dog, highly appreciated in Brazil but almost unknown in Europe, started around 1970. The Brazilian terrier was provisionally recognized by the FCI (International Cynological Federation) in 1995 and from 2007 is completely included as a breed in the catalog of the largest cynological organization in the world. It takes the standard number 341 and is in the group 3 (terriers), section 1 (Large and medium-sized terriers).

    Physical characteristics

    The Brazilian terrier is a dog's size medium, slim and harmonious construction. Its square body with rounded outer lines is firm but not too heavy.. The weight of an adult animal is a maximum of eight to ten kilograms. This applies to both males and females, although the height at the withers is different in both: While reaching 35 to 40 centimeters in males, it's just 33 to 38 centimeters in females.

    Interesting and unusual is that Brazilian terrier have different tail lengths from birth: From a rudimentary stump on a medium long tail to a full tail, you can find the most varied expressions. This typical characteristic of the breed gives the Brazilian terrier an individual appearance and does not detract from its charm, on the contrary.

    The dog also owes its special charisma to the small folded ears, as well as the large round blue eyes, green, brown, Bluish gray or reddish brown with an open and lively look. The head seems very expressive. It has a triangular shape and is wide at the base. The face narrows noticeably from the widely spaced ears to the tip of the nose. Due to the relatively distinctive groove on the forehead, seems thoughtful.

    The short coat, smooth, fine and tight dog feels very nice, a bit like the hair of a rat. No underwear. Especially soft areas are found on the head, the ears, the bottom of the neck and the inside of the front legs. As a rule, a Brazilian terrier it's tricolor. The basic color is always white. It is flanked by black marks, blue and / or brown red, they provide a distinctive pattern. Over and over you hear and read that the Brazilian terrier has strong similarities to Fox Terrier. This is undeniable, but there are visible differences: the Brazilian's muzzle is much shorter and the body contours appear more rounded, while the body of the Fox Terrier is more angular.

    Character and skills

    The character of Brazilian terrier can be described, justly, as little complicated. Their social behavior is once again much better than that of other types of terrier. These may include, the stubbornness of Russel and I shake it off Fox Terrier are much less present in South America. He is very friendly with the people he meets and in relation to contact with their owners, one can use terms like "affectionate" and "tender". Also with other dogs the Brazilian terrier usually gets along smoothly.

    Like your relatives in the terrier family, the Brazilian terrier it is extremely spirited, and therefore active and lively. you could also say: a real brazilian. Therefore, need plenty of exercise. He loves to accompany runners and hikers and frolic with children., but is content with fun adventures in the park without complaining. But please, pay attention to the variety: The dog finds both pleasure in ball games and recovery. It moves freely and elegantly. Typical are short, quick steps.

    The Brazilian terrier is considered a smart dog – but of course this requires a certain amount of activity, not just outside, but also inside the house or the apartment. Its high level of attention and the fact that it is initially reserved towards strangers, his above average barking often qualifies him as a watchdog. It is also worth mentioning the dog's ability to empathize in almost any situation..

    In short, It is an excellent dog for home and family or social, who can be easily trained with a successful mix of gentle and patient guidance. Canine sports enthusiast (agility, fly-ball). It also, gets along very well with horses, making it an excellent companion for horse owners. Thanks to his pleasant character, the Brazilian terrier also suitable as a beginner dog for people who have had little or no experience of active dog ownership to date.

    Considering its origin, the Brazilian terrier is naturally used to tropical temperatures. For this reason it is recommended to give up the breed if you live in very cold and rainy climates..

    Care and health of the Brazilian Terrier

    The maintenance of Brazilian terrier it's comparatively easy. This is mainly due to the short, smooth coat without undercoat. The dog hardly loses hair, so it is also suitable for allergy sufferers who have to do without the four-legged friends of other races for health reasons.

    Talking about health:

    Another positive aspect is that the Brazilian terrier they are particularly resistant to diseases and have a high life expectancy. On average, they live on 12 to 15 years. Only with respect to the ears is caution necessary: Dogs have what are known as slanted ears, which means that the ear canal is angled. This makes ventilation of the inner ear somewhat more difficult., which encourages the settling of bacteria and fungus and significantly increases the likelihood of a dangerous ear infection. For this reason, the ears of the Brazilian terrier must be cleaned regularly and thoroughly. As such, earlobes and special ear cleaners are used. These agents help loosen dirt and wax from the ear and, therefore, keep the quadruped healthy. Important: Never use cotton swabs. would have a counterproductive effect.
