Blue Gascony Griffon
Francia FCI 32 - Medium-sized Hounds

Blue Gascony Griffon

Originally bred for their tracking qualities, the Blue Gascony Griffon they are also affectionate companion dogs

Content

History

As its name implies, the roots of Blue Gascony Griffon are closely linked to the former French region of Gascony, which includes the lands between Bordeaux, Toulouse and Pyrenees. Some 14th-century writings recount the existence of a blue-haired hunting dog that was effective at tracking wild boar and deer., which is probably his ancestor.

Although we know with some accuracy where the race originated, it is more difficult to trace your family tree exactly before the decade of 1920.

But, it is believed to be a cross between the Great Gascony Blue, which in turn is the product of several crosses of old hounds (including the Bloodhound), and a french griffon: or the Griffon Nivernais or the Grand Griffon Vendรฉen. It is not possible to establish precisely which of the two is, because the available descriptions are too imprecise, but at least it is acquired that it is a French griffon.

In 1920, a special normalization commission of the club Great Gascony Blue, of the Small Blue Gascony and of the Blue Gascony Griffon first established a standard for the latter, what allowed the Livre des Origines Franรงais (LOF) officially differentiate him from his cousins. In fact, Until then it was considered a simple variety of the Great Gascony Blue. But, was not up 1963 which was officially recognized by the FCI (Fรฉdรฉration Cynologique Internationale).

This did not prevent the gradual decline of the breed, in particular due to its geographic isolation and confidentiality. In fact, was close to extinction, so that in 1977 only 10 individuals of 3 distinct lines were listed in the LOF. But, the situation improved considerably in the following years, since the number exceeded 100 in 1981.

At the beginning of the decade of 1990, the breed even saw a major revival in popularity with hunting enthusiasts, both in France and abroad (dog exports to Italy, Switzerland, Mauritius, Canada, Netherlands…), which led to an increase in the number of births. So that, the number of annual registrations LOF increased less than 80 prior to 1990 to more than 500 in 1994, and even more than 800 in 1996, before stabilizing between 700 and 800 in the following years.

This madness in France and abroad led to United Kennel Club, one of the leading organizations in the United States, to recognize the race in 1991. But, didn't actually make emulators: for example, neither him American Kennel Club (AKC), neither him Canadian Kennel Club (CKC), nor the prestigious British Kennel Club took the step.

Aware of the danger that this sudden interest could represent for the health of the few remaining specimens, with the risk, in particular, of health abuses caused by an intensive breeding program to meet a high demand, the Club of Small Blue Gascony, of the Gascon Saintongeois and Ariรฉgeois, in charge of the improvement of the race and affiliated with the Sociรฉtรฉ Centrale Canine (SCC), proposed to the Conservatory of Regional Biological Heritage the elaboration of a safeguarding and improvement plan. This approach (and the strict breeding practices that followed) contributed to the preservation of the good health of the breed, without hindering its development. So, in the first decade of the century, about 850 births were counted each year by the LOF. Since then, the figure has decreased slightly, but there is still an average of 600 to 700 by year.

Physical characteristics ยซGrifรณn Blue Gascuรฑaยป

The Blue Gascony Griffon it is rustic and solidly built. Very athletic, has a well-developed chest and a short, straight back that extends into a rather shaggy tail carried like a saber blade.

The head is ogival shaped, slightly vaulted, with a full forehead and a snout with a slight stop, sometimes slightly arched. The nose is black and wide. The eyes are oval, and its color varies between dark brown and brown. It also, despite his wide eyebrows, his look is very expressive. Located just below the eye line, the ears are flexible, curly and not very pointed, and reach the tip of the nose.

The mark of this dog is its hard and rough coat, giving it a slightly shaggy look. The coat is completely black and white, giving it the slate blue glow that gave it its name. Your body may also have a few more or less extensive black spots. In the head, there are usually two black spots on each side of the skull, covering ears, wrapping the eyes and stopping at the cheeks. These spots are separated in the upper part of the skull by a white hole, in the middle of which there is usually a small oval black spot, typical of the breed. More or less bright brown marks also color the upper part of the eyebrow, cheeks, whisker pads, the inside of the ear, as well as the extremities and the lower part of the tail.

Last, sexual dimorphism is only slightly pronounced in this breed: the female is usually only a few centimeters smaller than the male.

Size:

  • Males of 50 to 57 cm.
  • females of 48 to 55 cm..
  • Weight: 18 to 20 kg

Character and skills "Gascuรฑa Azul Giffon"

Originally bred for their tracking qualities, the Blue Gascony Griffon They are also affectionate companion dogs that adapt well to family life., as long as the family is active. Loyal and very attached to their teachers, as shown through various displays of affection, accompany them in all their activities with great enthusiasm and energy, without the need for undue attention.

He is a dog that loves children, with whom he is very patient and gentle. Generally well returned, representing excellent playmates for him, also bursting with energy. It is much less suitable for the elderly, they will soon find it exhausting.

Used to living in a group, can be alone during the day, but it only prospers if it has company at all times. Adopting an extra dog can be a solution to help you cope with the absence of its owner.

People and animals who are strangers to the dog generally receive a reserved but not aggressive welcome. Take the time to observe them before deciding what attitude to adopt.

This relative distance does not make it a good guardian, especially because it is not very territorial. In fact, if he barks when he sees a newcomer, it is more to announce your presence than to prevent you from passing and dissuade you from moving on.

Coexistence with other dogs in the house is perfectly possible and usually does not pose any particular problem.. Even when you don't know them yet, the Blue Gascony Griffon he is very sociable with his companions, and is both curious and peaceful once introduced. They don't try to dominate other dogs, and they will only attack if they are repeatedly and aggressively confronted by them.

On the other hand, it is not a good idea to try to get him to live in a house that also has a cat or small pet (like a rodent or a bird). Being a hunter at heart, would tend to relentlessly chase him around the house, even if you receive a strict education on the subject.

True electric battery and always with the truffle glued to the ground, the Blue Gascony Griffon only really flourishes in large spaces and houses with gardens. Although he likes to gasp for hours at his family's feet, not a city dweller, and is very likely to attract the ire of the neighborhood with his inopportune howls. By the way, can live perfectly well in an outdoor dog house, as long as you have enough to stimulate your intelligence and abilities – especially through play sessions with his teacher.

He particularly likes to snoop, sniff out clues and follow them to their source without being distracted by anything. This trait is very popular with hunting dogs., but it is more problematic for companion dogs, as it can lead them to run away or stubbornly go in one direction while walking. A high fence should be provided at home, and a strong strap should be used to keep its paws – if you are not paying attention – To walk. A connected GPS collar can also be a good investment to make sure you know when he's out for a walk at all times.

In addition to hunting, this hardworking and hardy dog รขโ‚ฌโ€นรขโ‚ฌโ€นhas a taste for many other activities. Enjoy throwing games (to be played in moderation, as they reinforce their chasing instinct), object search games (that challenge your exceptional sense of smell), the long walks, the race, swimming or even canicross, in which it excels. Almost everything can be found thanks to your eyes, as long as it comes to exercising and / or pleasing your master.

In any case, if your significant need for exercise is not met, it is likely to attack objects and plants in the house to evacuate its excess energy, or even your stress.

Educaciรณn ยซGrifรณn Blue de Gascuรฑaยป

The kindness of the Blue Gascony Griffon and his loyalty make him an obedient and diligent student. But, do not forget that he is an intelligent dog, which means he learns the commands just as fast as the nonsense.

It also, it is important to socialize him from an early age to limit his shyness and natural distrust of people and dogs he does not know. This is especially true if you are intended for hunting, since then it is more likely that you will meet other dogs that you do not know.

Having said that, they are quite docile companions, easy to train and educate: an ideal breed of dog for a novice master. But, be aware that obedience is achieved more through cooperation than coercion. So, it is just as important to congratulate and/or reward him whenever a command has been well executed as it is to reprimand him in a firm voice when he does something stupid. By the way, being firm does not mean being aggressive: yelling or being aggressive will only make them run away, or it will even make them suspicious and stressed.

Hunting training can begin as soon as 6 months after learning the basic commands. Treasure hunting is recommended to help you develop your sense of smell and intelligence, while the presence of more experienced dogs can help you get used to the noise of guns and the company of strange dogs.

Health and care "Blue Gascuรฑa Giffon"

Sturdy and durable, the Blue Gascony Griffon it is made for outdoor living and can withstand both heat and cold.

The main health problems observed in this breed are related to outdoor life and, in particular, with hunting: fractures, wounds, bites, as well as diseases transmitted by parasites (piroplasmosis, leptospirosis, etc.).

You also have a predisposition to stomach inversion (stomach dilatation-torsion syndrome).

It also, the hanging shape of their ears carries an increased risk of ear infections.

Last, your voracity makes you prone to obesity, especially if your activity level is still limited. This can facilitate the appearance and aggravate the impact of various ailments and constitutes a true vicious circle., since an overweight dog tends to be less active and therefore… fatter.

Go through a serious breeder of Blue Gascony Griffon allows you to put all the possibilities on your part to adopt a puppy in good health (and that is still the case). The professional must be able to present a certificate issued by a veterinarian certifying that he is indeed healthy, as well as details of the vaccinations administered to the animal, recorded in your health book (or vaccination book).

It also, as with any dog, excessive activity should be avoided until you reach adulthood. In fact, the bones and joints of a growing puppy are particularly fragile, and problems at this level could have lifelong consequences (malformations, etc.).

Finally, but the Blue Gascony Griffon is generally in good health, this does not mean that you should not wear it regularly (At least once a year) to the vet for a complete health check, that allows you to detect any problems as soon as possible. It is also the occasion to carry out your vaccination reminders, that are especially important to a dog like him, who usually spends a lot of time outdoors. Your antiparasitic treatments are at least as important; your landlord should make sure to renew them whenever necessary.

The price of a "blue gas tap"

The price of a puppy Blue Gascony Griffon in France it is between 900 and 1400 EUR, depending on the prestige of the kennel, the lineage from which it comes and its intrinsic characteristics (more or less conformity to the breed standard, physical qualities, etc.).

Outside france, it is very difficult to find a breeder Blue Gascony Griffon. The most likely option is then to import one from its country of origin.. If required, transportation and administrative costs are added to the purchase price of the animal and, of course, it is advisable to know and respect the regulations regarding the importation of a dog from abroad.

Characteristics "Blue Gascony Griffon"

Coexistence is important that you have with your new friend. Before considering the acquisition of a dog of the breed "Blue Gascony Griffon" you know certain factors. Not all breeds of dogs are apt to live in an apartment, you must take into account his character, their need for exercise, their interaction with other pets, their care and if you have small children, their level of tolerance towards them.

The goal was to obtain a hunting dog that would combine the qualities of the two ancient breeds and inherit a coat that would allow it to withstand the elements..

The Styrian Coarse-haired Hound was created by a man named Carl Peitinger. The breed was officially recognized in its country of origin in 1889, and was finally recognized by the Fรฉdรฉration Cynologique Internationale (FCI) 65 years later, the 31 in August of 1954.

The Vizsla or Hungarian Braco It is a breed of dog originating in Hungary.. It is one of the best sporting and companion dogs, but little known outside his native Hungary.

The Vizsla was already known from the beginning of Hungarian history. The ancestors of today's Vizsla were the trusted hunting dogs and favorites of the Magyar tribes who lived in the Carpathian Basin in the 10th century.. There are primitive prints in stone - thousand years- It shows a Magyar Hunter with his Falcon and his Vizsla. The first written reference to the Vizsla breed was recorded in a chronic illustrated of the year 1357.

They were the companion dogs of royalty and barons early in the war, for which reason, the blood of the Vizsla has preserved its purity for centuries. The landed aristocracy jealously guarded them and encouraged the development of their hunting ability.Yellow pointerโ€. Records of letters and writings from the time show the high esteem in which Vizsla dogs were held..

The Vizsla, in spite of hard historical times which became, he survived the Turkish occupation (1526-1696), to the Hungarian Revolution (1848-49), the first and second world war, and the Russian occupation. But, was several times on the verge of extinction... In the year 1800 in Hungary the population of specimens of English Pointer and German Shorthaired Pointer, because they were more accessible to the entire population, This action, took them for the first time, on the verge of extinction, and then, the other nearest point was after World War II, when they thought they really..., they had disappeared.

Then, in Hungary a national survey of sports hunters was carried out, and the results revealed that only a dozen purebred Vizsla dogs had survived the debacle and were living in the country. From these copies, the race came to fame once more, After carrying out a thorough programme of recovery of the race. Outside of Hungary, Vizsla are commonly bred in Romania, Austria, Slovakia and Serbia.

The Vizsla at reached United States at the end of World War II and as the interest and devotion to the race was on the rise, the owners formed the Vizsla Club of America in order to obtain official recognition of the breed by the AKC to, took place the 25 in November of 1960.

The Vizsla was used in the development of other races, as of the Weimaraner, of the Vizsla hair hard and Braco German for short hair. There is considerable controversy regarding the races that, along with other Pointer breeds, were used to reestablish the Vizsla breed at the end of the 19th century. In any case, the similarity between the three races is undeniable…

The Vizsla is a medium-size of short hair dog, and elegant porte, light structure, with well defined muscles, that share physical characteristics with the Weimaraner or Weimaraner. Frequently confused them with dogs of other breeds such as, Redbone Coonhound, Braco of Weimar and the Rhodesian Ridgeback. Although with the races that closest thing it has is with Redbone Coonhound, the Weimaraner, the Vizsla is, As we said, the muscles are more defined and it is thinner than the aforementioned breeds.. The males measure of 56 to 63 cm. of height to the cross and weigh in 20 to 30 kg; the females measure of 53 to 61 cm. of height to the cross and weigh 18 to 25 kg. The Weimar Braco and Rhodesian Ridgeback are larger.

The nose of the Vizsla always has a reddish color that is mixed with the standard colour of the fur, It consists of different shades of the color solid oro-รณxido (copper, brown, Golden reddish and Golden dark sand). The color of the eyes and nails should also mingle with the color of the fur (if the latter is not fulfilled, then we would talk about another race).

Some variations in the Vizsla's coat color may show markings along its back.Saddleโ€™, is typical of the breed and for that reason, It is often confused with Rhodesian Ridgeback.

According to him American Kennel Club (AKC) and their standard of the breed, the Vizsla must have short hair, smooth, dense and glued to the body, without woolly subpelo. The Vizsla is not an animal prepared to live outdoors due to the absence of double layer, which leads them to be more susceptible to cold and intense heat. They are very clean dogs, they do not need to be bathed often, do not usually give off the characteristic โ€œodor to dogโ€ detectable by humans. After their forays into lakes and rivers they will develop a scent that is a very faint version of the "wet dog" scent.. A quick bath and the odor will vanish.

The Vizsla is a natural Hunter endowed with an extraordinary sense of smell, comparable to the Pointer and an above-average learning ability. Although they are encouraged, kind, emotional and sensitive, they are equally intrepid and have a well-developed protective instinct. Its hunting style is near, laceando without moving away from the Hunter hunting for the hand. They hunt in terrain, they are very versatile, and they can hunt all kinds of parts, either hair or feather. They are very athletic and resistant. Its recovery capacity is high, charge very well and can train you very easily.

Not only are large crawlers, but also, excellent collectors. Both on Earth and since water that, they are very good swimmers. Like all dogs hunting, the Vizsla require a good deal of exercise to stay healthy and happy. He is very intelligent and likes to feel challenged and stimulated, both mentally and physically. That is why they need training according to their characteristics, sweet, consistent and dedicated.

The Vizsla is a very energetic dog, soft and delicate manners, fair, loving and very warm. They often form close bonds with their owners, including children, that is why sometimes, they are nicknamed "velcro dogโ€ due to his loyalty and affection, far from being lap it is always close to his master. They are quiet dogs, They ladrarรกn only if necessary. Many sleep in bed with their owners and, If they are allowed, They shall always endeavour to make a huequito under the sheets.

Polish Hound
Polonia FCI 52 - Medium-sized Hounds

Polish Hound

The Polish Hound it is quite widespread in Poland, while outside this country it is considered a rare breed.

Content

History

Originally from Poland, country to which it owes its current name, the Polish Hound it is a very old breed of dog, since it is believed that it appeared in the 13th century, although the first written records that mention it explicitly date from the 17th century. They are part of the group "Medium-sized hound dogs" and are believed to be the result of crossing between the St. Hubert Hound, German and Russian hounds and local Polish breeds. Polish nobles, fans of hunting parties, they were bred and used especially for hunting larger game.

Since the middle of the 19th century, the Polish Hound, which was very popular at that time, began appearing at dog shows in his native country. At that time, Poland was under Russian occupation, and the breed was bred mainly in the territory of present-day Belarus, which was then also annexed by Russia. After 1918, Poland regained its independence, but the brood of Polish Hound continued almost exclusively in the east of the country.

During World War II, due to successive invasions of Poland by Nazi Germany and then by the USSR, the breed saw its population decrease dramatically. After the war, Polish borders were redrawn; Poland, by losing the territories he owned in the east, lost the cradle of Polish Hound as well as all the remaining farms. No breeder took over the territory of the "new" Poland, and the race found itself on the brink of extinction.

She was eventually saved by a Polish colonel named Piotr Kartawik.. In 1959, created a kennel dedicated to him and reconstituted livestock from 4 dogs imported from Belarus. The first standard of the Polish Hound was written on the basis of individuals from this kennel and published in 1964.

The breed was officially recognized by the Fรฉdรฉration Cynologique Internationale (FCI) two years later, in 1966. But, the Polish Hound is not recognized by any other major canine organization and, although once again it is very widespread in Poland, still relatively rare in the rest of the world.

Physical characteristics

The Polish Hound he is a medium sized hound and companion dog. They are muscular, strong and compact, with mighty bones and a massive march, but without the impression of heaviness. They are better suited for endurance than speed.

The head, quite heavy and chiseled, appears rectangular when viewed from the side. The occipital bone is very pronounced. The line of the forehead forms an obtuse angle with that of the muzzle., and the forehead has multiple wrinkles.

The Polish Hound has a strong, long jaw with a regular bite. The eyes are dark brown and almond-shaped, with a soft expression, slightly sunken and almond-shaped. Superciliary arches are marked. The snout is elongated and truncated at the tip. Rounded at the tips, the ears are low, hanging and quite long.

Low rise and slightly curved, the tail is thick and its lower part is provided with longer hair. Chest is wide, wide and proportionally deep.

The Polish Hound has a double layer (hair and undercoat) average length. This layer gives very good water repellency and protection against heat and bad weather., especially since the undercoat is thick. Hair is longer on the spine, on the back of the hind legs and on the bottom of the tail; is shorter and smoother on the muzzle and ears.

It's brown on the head, the ears (except the sides of the skull), the legs, sternal region and thighs, and black or dark gray on the rest of the body. Tan color can vary from red to brown, but the cinnamon tone is the most sought after. In any case, the separation between the two colors must be very clear. White markings on the chest are tolerated (even up to the muzzle) and on the tips of the legs and tail.

HEIGHT AND WEIGHT :

  • Height to the cross: Males: 56-65 cm., females: 55-60 cm..
  • Weight : Males : 25-32 kg, females : 20-26 kg.

    Character and skills

    The Polish Hound he is an affectionate dog, protective and very intelligent. And unlike most Poles and other hunting dogs, who are notoriously undisciplined and not very obedient, do not pose major training problems. This character trait makes them equally appreciated by hunters and families, as is the case with your neighbor, the Austrian Black and Tan Hound, a rare but obedient and easy to train breed that is also an exception. But, the Polish Hound tends to mature a little more slowly than other dogs, so it can be expected that he will maintain his youthful demeanor at 2 or 3 years of age.

    Naturally calm and friendly, they are excellent companions, loyal as much as possible, showing affection not only to adults, but also to younger dogs. Not only is he loving, kind and protective with them, but he is also very patient. This can create a great complicity between the dog and the child, since the latter learns from a young age to respect the animal and its needs. The Polish Hound It, therefore, a breed of dog adapted to children, even the very young.

    Reputed for being naturally vigilant and distrustful of strangers, without being aggressive, the Polish Hound develops protective instincts with age, leading him to actively defend those around him, whether they are the weakest, the youngest or the oldest. Facing intruders and armed with your unerring sense of smell, Polish hounds make excellent watchdogs, protecting without fail their masters and their properties, even though they weren't bred for it.

    They are sociable animals and generally enjoy the company of other dogs.. Can sometimes become a barker in your presence, without being prone to arguing with peers. His voice is powerful, melodious cases, and allows you to communicate with your master while hunting. The voice is deep in the male and quite high in the female.

    To the Polish Hound loves large expanses and wooded areas where he can fully express his hunting instincts. Not at all suited to apartment living, and is much more comfortable in the country than in the city.

    Developed for hunting and used to living in large spaces, must be walked for a long time and very regularly (on average two or three hours a day), even if you have access to a large garden. The ideal thing for him is to be able to accompany an active teacher during his exercises: footing, running and other sports outings will make you happy. On the other hand, if not asked enough, expect a long and frequent bark, meant to get attention.

    Education

    An obedient and intelligent breed, the Polish Hound it is relatively easy to train, since he is intelligent and quite obedient. They have a good memory and, as such, easily retain what they learn, without the need for a large number of repetitions. But, their education must be early and sufficiently balanced, mixing softness and firmness. He is particularly receptive to the method of positive education, what is the best way to educate him and make him obey.

    On the other hand, How can it take time to reach mental maturity (sometimes two or three years), it is important to be patient during your education, especially if we notice that you tend to lose concentration easily.

    Last, if the dog is to be used as a hunting dog, teaching the dog to remember should be one of the priorities in his training.

    Health and care

    The Polish Hound it is a strong and resistant breed of dog, does not present any significant risk in terms of possible predisposition to certain diseases. Like most older dog breeds, has robust health and is much less susceptible to genetic diseases that can affect newer breeds.

    In spite of this, due to its large chest and high level of activity, is quite susceptible to the development of dilatation-torsion syndrome of the stomach.

    It also, how much of their time is spent outdoors, especially if they are used as hunting dogs, are more susceptible to parasites (like ticks and fleas) and infections, as well as injuries and hunting accidents.

    Last, as with any dog โ€‹โ€‹with floppy ears, be careful with the risk of ear infections and inflammation.

    Care and maintenance

    The Polish Hound it is easy to care for because its coat is short and straight. Brushing your dog's coat once a week keeps it clean and removes dead hairs, especially during molting periods. Since molt periods are not very consistent, brushing every two or three days is usually enough.

    Because its beautiful waterproof coat does not get dirty easily, bathing is rarely necessary. In fact, In most cases, it is possible to clean the coat with a simple damp cloth. It also, washing your dog tends to remove sebum, which has many positive properties, so it should only be done when the coat is really very dirty.

    It also, it is necessary to check and maintain your dog's ears regularly, since it is quite prone to canine ear infections. One can take the opportunity to examine their eyes at the same time.

    Looking at its claws, they are supposed to wear out naturally during your outings. But, If that is not the case, You should clip your dog's claws from time to time..

    Last, when he comes back from hunting or walking, it is important to ensure that there are no ticks (the application of a preventive antiparasitic treatment is strongly recommended) and any injuries you may have sustained while running.

    Price of a Polish Hound

    The price of a puppy Polish Hound is between 500 and 700 EUR.
