History

The Portuguese Podengo It is considered one of the oldest dogs breeds, that has its origins in the Phoenicians, cultural matrix of which descend the Portuguese. It is a native breed of Portugal, with great skills for hunting, but also surveillance, It is commonly used on farms to alert of the presence of intruders.

The great family of the hound race, specialists in the topic raised it was in Portugal where most subjected to crossing and as a result, branched lineage. Within their ancestors argue that perhaps the closest the Ibizan Hound, and various types of dogs of traces of lived (They inhabit) throughout the Mediterranean area. Like all hound dogs, History shows that they are represented in Egyptian paintings of thousands of years ago.

according to size, There are three varieties of Portuguese Hound, Grand, Small and medium, being each variety, products of the different crossing, over time.

It is believed that the great variety has emerged the variety of Portuguese Podengo small and medium, the ancestor of the Grande variety is the Pharaoh Hound spread from North Africa to the Iberian Peninsula. Although other authors raise that it is possible that the hound descends from the small Iberian wolves. There is still controversy...

Although one of the theories suggests that the Medium Portuguese Podenco arises, of different Podenco dogs from North Africa, The most accepted theory is that this variety, directly descended from the Portuguese Podengo Grande.

The small Portuguese Hound, sometimes described as a Chihuahua heavier (There is no kinship between these two races), often collaborate in the tasks of hunting with their larger peers, what this dog does is get into the rabbit hole and scare them so that they come out and are hunted by their pack mates.

In the North of Portugal today it is still used for hunting rabbits and small vermin. Hunting in a pack or alone. Although this dog can be seen in the rest of the country, its popularity lies in the North of the same.

  • Portuguese Podengo Pequeno: Like his brother medium is an excellent Hunter of rabbits and hares. Responsible for getting into the Burrows (Thanks to its size and agility) to drive away prey and be hunted down by his pack mates. The small Portuguese Podengo coat is short and smooth, only.

The varieties in the fur are related to the inclement weather and adaptation to the same, the smooth-haired variety is more common in northern Portugal, characterized by being a humid area, This soft and smooth coat is necessary because it is dried more easily after wet.

The variety of hair bristles found in drier areas, where the coat of hair has the function of protecting the dog from the sun's rays and cold weather in winter. Nature is wiseโ€ฆ

History

While the small and medium varieties of the German Spitz (Pomeranian, Kleinspitz (Miniature or Small Spitz) and Mittelspitz (Standard or Medium Spitz), Keeshond) were more common among common people in the Middle Ages, the Grossespitz (Giant or Large Spitz) , with its impressive and elegant shape, found its way into the homes of the noble and middle classes. The Grossespitz (Giant or Large Spitz) white enjoyed great popularity even among representatives of the English nobility. He "German Spitzยป was also able to make a name for itself in America and was supported primarily by German immigrants. In the course of the negative image of Germany after the 1st World War, the Grossespitz (Giant or Large Spitz) was renamed "American Eskimoยป

The Grossespitz (Giant or Large Spitz) black, on the other hand, used to be more common in the vineyards of Baden Wรผrttemberg. His excellent wakefulness instinct was a great help to the winegrowers in keeping off the grape thieves, both animals and humans, away from the valuable vines.

According to Gesellschaft zur Erhaltung alter und gefรคhrdeter Haustierrassen e. V. (Society for the Conservation of Ancient and Endangered Breeds of Domestic Animals), to the Grossespitz (Giant or Large Spitz) Today it is considered endangered. Over the years 2000 to 2002, for example, there was only 11 Grossespitz (Giant or Large Spitz) blacks in Germany and 38 white dogs. To preserve this breed of enterprising and cheerful dogs, there are initiatives to mate the Grossespitz (Giant or Large Spitz) whites and blacks among themselves and to cross them with the Mittelspitz (Standard or Medium Spitz) and the Keeshond.

Physical characteristics

The Grossespitz (Giant or Large Spitz) is characterized by its special double layer. The long straight top layer looks very bushy due to the thick, padded undercoat and stays away from the body. Particularly striking is the strong horsehair fur collar and the bushy tail that curls over the back. The fox head with the agile eyes and the pointed ears, small and narrow give this Spitz its characteristic appearance.

With a shoulder height of up to 50 cm and a weight of 15-20 kg, the Grossespitz (Giant or Large Spitz) is the second largest representative of the German Spitz after the Keeshond. It breeds in the colors black, White and Brown.

The males and females of the category ยซGrossespitz (Giant or Large Spitz) ยป They are very similar in weight and size. But, the male representatives of the breed mostly appear heavier and larger. This is due to the fact that their coat is slightly longer and therefore appears more voluminous than that of female dogs..

Character and skills

The Grossespitz (Giant or Large Spitz) needs a lot of movement and exercise. So, long walks and running games and slides should always be on the agenda. It also, dog sports such as agility, obedience or tracking can bring additional variety to the dog's life and make optimal use of the breed.

Breed-specific character traits

The Grossespitz (Giant or Large Spitz) He is very affectionate by nature and would like to accompany his family everywhere.. Staying home alone does not suit them at all and can make dogs experience their grief intensely. As a rule, the more attention and affection a Grossespitz (Giant or Large Spitz) , more comfortable feels. That's why they like to be with the family, since they also get along very well with children. But, of course, every four legged friend, no matter how sociable I am, he also needs his rest. It is important that all members of the family respect these phases, which are usually quite rare with the Grossespitz (Giant or Large Spitz) . Thanks to his kind and loving character, many representatives of this breed of dog are also suitable as therapy dogs.

Although I do not necessarily suspect it at first glance, the Grossespitz (Giant or Large Spitz) it is also extremely robust and weather resistant. Due to its distinctive protective instinct, they are also considered ideal guardians for the house and yard. But, without proper training, can become a very barking dog. Through an appropriate workload for each species, good socialization and a consistent but loving upbringing, desirable behavior can be encouraged, that is to say, "don't bark".

Grossespitz training

Get enough attention and feel well integrated into family life. As they have almost no hunting instinct, they are usually relatively easy to train and can be recommended for beginners. But, it is important to inform yourself widely about the breed and its requirements beforehand.

Like all the other spitz, to the Grossespitz (Giant or Large Spitz) likes to be in contact with children and loves to play with and protect them. So, fits well in a lively little family, in which there is always something to do and much to discover.

So that the Grossespitz (Giant or Large Spitz) can exercise your favorite activity as a watchdog, The ideal would be to keep it in a house with a patio and garden. If the four-legged friend moves regularly and has mental problems, you can also consider keeping it in a city apartment, as long as there are enough opportunities for exercise nearby.

History

The Laรฏka it is an original breed of dog from the far north. They are spread across the entire land mass of Eurasia, from Finland to the Bering Sea. The Laรฏka, in its three variants, It is the breed of dog with the largest closed range of all. In the first place it was called a hunting dog. In the villages of Siberia, However, it is useful in many ways. In addition to his role as a hunting dog, He is a protection dog and watchdog and has even proven himself as a sled dog..

Some associate a dog named "Laika" with the history of space travel. Because the dog Laika was the first living being sent into space by humans. His heat death in the cramped Soyuz capsule was planned from the start. But Laika is also the name of a breed of dog. Most of these dogs are extremely robust and intelligent with a huge gene pool.. The Laรฏka It is a breed of dog that has been recognized by the canine world since very early. From the time around 1880 there are several descriptions about these dogs. At that time the animals were already participants in Moscow dog shows.. For thousands of years they had enormous economic and cultural importance. Large parts of Siberia were able to develop by humans only with the help of these dogs.

In the Middle Ages to modern times the Laรฏka played a central role in the fur trade, what made old russia rich. The Laรฏka he was the best hunter of martens. ยซThe hunting dogs of the Sable they must be fugitives, with an exquisite nose, thin face and ears, and possess great acuity and intelligence." This is what it says in old reports.. Today, hunting wild boar and other game animals is the specialty of this breed. By the way, The name comes from the Russian word ยซlajatยป to ยซbarkยป. The Laรฏka seek and chase the game quietly at first. Once they have caught it, they start barking loudly so the hunter can find it – hence the name.

Until the years 40, the Laรฏka they were raised according to the old tradition. Without any more preambles, the most suitable specimens were taken for common work with and for humans. They were then provided with a standard for modern pedigreed dog breeding..
In 1947 Four races of Laika were established by the Russian Congress of Cynologists, three of them are recognized by the FCI today:

Then there is the Finnish Spitz, that the Russians call the Karelo-Finnische Laika. But the Laรฏka it has nothing to do with the spitz as we know it. They have a completely different nature, although they may look similar on the outside. The races of Laรฏka are very similar to each other and often only differ in detail.

Here we describe the Russo-European Laika, which has found a certain diffusion especially in eastern Germany. This still has its roots in GDR times.. Since 1950 the Laรฏka have been hunters here. Last, but not less important, many of those who worked in the construction of pipelines in the vastness of the Soviet Union brought the race Laรฏka To Germany.

Physical characteristics

The Russo-European Laika is a dog's size medium, strong, with a slightly longer and dense coat. On the head and ears the hair is short and dense. The construction is almost square. The Laika wears its well feathered tail on its back. The head is reminiscent of a European Spitz with wide awake eyes. Wears it upright like a triangle with pointed ears. The official FCI standard describes a strong dog: ยซThe muscles are dry and well trained. A strong bone structure. Sexual differences are clearly marked.. The height at the withers is between 52 and 58 centimeters in males. Bitches are a 2 smaller cm. No weight given. The coat color doesn't really play a role with the Laรฏka. In the Russo-European Laika black with white are considered the typical colors.

Character and skills

The Laรฏka is a thoroughbred hunting dog. Has a distinctive sharpness of play, defend the prey, it's focused, but not sharp.

The characteristics that recommend it as a hunting dog and that allow it to survive in the harsh living conditions of Siberia, do not facilitate its maintenance as a companion and family dog. So, serious breeding expressly attaches importance to a good socialization of the puppies already at the breeder.

As a thoroughbred hunter you have a high level of initiative and want to work independently and with perseverance.. Some experience is needed, consistency and patience to direct this independent head. Otherwise, he would follow his thoughts and instincts at the right opportunity and hunt on his own.

Needs a busy master or caregiver who is able and willing to allow a lot of movement. Worth it. The Laรฏka they are really big dogs: Highly intelligent, docile and seemingly unlimited capacity. You have to merge very closely with this dog. Then follow your caregiver without contradictions. It is a fantastic experience of nature to roam the landscape with this wide awake dog.

The ideal is, if you can lead him on the hunt. The Laรฏka is not a guard dog, but he is willing to defend his family effectively. In front of other dogs he has no interest or is even dominant; seems to feel he is far superior to most of the local domestic dogs with his rustic body control and keen emergency senses.

A true Laika, not bred for exhibitions, embodies a wonderful piece of Nordic nature.

Fitness

The Laรฏka not at all a dog for beginners. It has high demands on its maintenance, that stem from your destiny as a hunting dog. It also, it is a very independent working dog. If one wants to have the clear leading role as a human, this requires a lot of understanding of the dog. This opens up the possibility of a very special intimate relationship between man and dog., which is not based on submission but on mutual respect and true friendship. In addition to his passion for hunting, can also be used for the agility and other sports with dogs. Here, too, he shows himself to be enormously powerful but also demanding.. So it is not enough to go only once a week with him to dog sports. Monotonous reps aren't your thing either.

On the other hand, is not picky about attitude. But, a property (well secured) must be available, because at Laรฏka he likes to stay out, what is not to be confused with kennel maintenance. During the hunt, the animal never loses contact with its guide.. Shows an extraordinary sense of direction, a vital feature in the vastness of Russia. So almost always find – if you want – an exit from the property, and again. A proper hunting guide is ideal. Otherwise, need a teacher or a lover of outdoor sports. The breed is extremely robust and adaptable, but it is not a dog for a flat.

Education of the ยซEuropean Russian Laikaยป

The Russo-European Laika can be well trained for a very experienced dog owner. But you have to get involved with him very intensely. He is open and honest and likes to work with his master and mistress, although their "will to please" is limited. Not a partner for any kind of tricks. Has no problems and is frugal in daily handling, whenever you have your workload on hunting or dog sports.

Care and health of the ยซEuropean Russian Laikaยป

The Russo-European Laika it is absolutely easy to clean. Just needs a little grooming here and there, during the coat change a little more.

Nutrition

The Laรฏka is free of problems in its nutrition.

The life expectancy of the ยซEuropean Russian Laikaยป

It is not for the world of cacina exhibitions, the Laรฏka healthy breed can easily reach the 12 years and much more with a good physical condition.

Buy a Laika

As a buyer you should make sure you get a Laika from a breeder who does not inbreed and only allows natural mating.. Other practices are diametrically opposed to respect and love for these original and robust dogs. If you are interested in a Laรฏka, The first thing you should do is check if you want and can spend a close life, common and sporting with these dogs for at least the next ten years. Then you should get information from a local breeder, that is affiliated with a nodic dog club. A puppy of this breed costs around 1.000 EUR.

Typical diseases ยซEuropean Russian Laikaยป

The Laรฏka it is a very healthy and extremely robust breed of dog, as long as he's not unilaterally bred by a supposed beauty in the dog show business. Hardly any other breed of dog today is lucky enough to have access to such a large population., naturally original, to a genetic potential as great as the Laรฏka in the vastness of Russia. It can only be hoped that this great opportunity will be seized by the breeding clubs..

My lundehund

Interest in the breed declined as new hunting methods for puffins, as for example, the use of networks…, and this ex officio contortionist, was no longer needed. Puffins were a precious object of hunting, the meat was horse and kept and feathers were used to make quilts.

The breed was nearly extinct around World War II, when the canine distemper hit Vรฆrรธy and the islands surrounding. In 1963, the population was decimated… Only six copies of Lundehund (one Vรฆrรธy and 5 in Soon, to the South of Norway), These five puppies was of the same litter.

Due to the care of the brood with the strict guidelines, currently there are approximately 1500 or 2000 copies of Lundehund around the world, of this population around 1.100 are in Norway and almost 350 in the United States.

The official registration of the Lundehund was approved by the American Kennel Club's in the miscellaneous class. 1 in July of 2008, After a unanimous vote of the Board the 13 in November of 2007. The race debuted at the AKC National Championship / Eukanuba in Long Beach, California (United States), the 13 and 14 in December of 2008, being one of the most important events of the American canine world.

According to the FCI classification it is located in the Group 5 Spitz-type dogs and primitive type. Section 2 Nordic Hunting Dogs.

Physical characteristics

The Lundehund medium in size looks a bit like a fox and is, also because it is one of the rare races, sometimes mistaken for a mestizo, a Nordic mongrel. On the contrary, is very specialized: The Lundehund has been bred for hunting puffins, a species of bird that breeds in burrows. This brings with it some unique physical characteristics: your shoulder joints are more flexible, allowing it to turn its front legs 90ยฐ to the side. It also, this dog can close his pointed, upright ears, allowing you to dive better.

The most striking features are undoubtedly the six toes of each foot and the up to eight pads, which give the ancient cliff hunter immense security. Some of these dogs also lack molars, which facilitated the transport of the captured birds without damaging them.

The Norwegian Lundehund It has a height at the withers of up to 38 cm and weighs 7 kg. sporty and light. The dense coat is short and red to fawn, with black hair tips in places. have a smooth undercoat, very fine and a rough top coat.

Although the breed belongs to hunting dogs, the Lundehund can accompany you, with some effort in their education, on your nature walks without the need for a leash, since it is not an elusive dog, nor a traditional prey tracker. A major challenge is getting our dogs out of the habit of barking: Lundehund, like all nordic dogs, announce aloud all the supposedly interesting things in their environment – and that in part is quite persistent. So patience is absolutely necessary when training a Lundehund. Already in puppyhood, be sure to keep this in mind when training your dog. Play lessons for puppies, as well as attendance at a canine school, have a positive effect on Lundehund – here you can not only socialize him more with other four-legged friends, but you will surely also get some tips and tricks for the education of this dog.

Health: the syndrome Lundehund

Since the population dates back to only five dogs, Controlled breeding of the breed made a new start in the 1990s. 1960, with what the Lundehund has a very small gene pool. One of the five founding dogs developed stomach and intestinal symptoms at the age of about three years, which have spread further among the descendants. Today, this is known as the lundehund syndrome: a chronic, inflammatory bowel disease that is associated with increased protein loss through the intestines. About half of the population is affected by it, although to varying degrees. A genetic test can be used to determine if a dog intended for breeding is a carrier, so that the risk of Lundehund syndrome can be reduced. There is no cure for this disease, only the symptoms can be relieved. While some dogs are barely limited by the disease and have long symptom-free phases, other affected quadrupeds have a more severe course and ultimately lead to death.

Before deciding to acquire a representative of this breed, must be informed in detail about the lundehund syndrome and the corresponding genetic test and its meaning. The Nordic Dog Clubs can also provide you with more information on this.. The healthy ones Norwegian Lundehund are, for the rest, very robust and can reach an age of about 14 years.

Some dog owners opt for daily dental care in the form of toothbrushing with dog toothpaste and toothbrush.. If you already introduce your puppy to this ritual, is an optimal prevention against tartar and associated secondary diseases.

History

The Kleinspitz (Miniature or Small Spitz) (Kleinspitz) is a variety of German Spitz, which today is available in five different sizes and in numerous colors. The exact origin of dogs spitz it is difficult to determine. In many regions there are indications of an early appearance of the breed. These may include, in the terracotta pieces Mycenaean or in the Greek vases you can already find illustrations of similar dogs. From the Middle Ages, the Spitz guard and court dogs were popular, especially among the rural population. The obedient dogs took their duties as court protectors so seriously that they pinched the "intruders" on their calves.. For this reason, Spitz was formerly considered a loved one.

At the beginning of directed breeding, all representatives of the breed with a height at the withers less than 29 centimeters were summarized under the term Kleinspitz (Miniature or Small Spitz). As it was mainly in the area of Mannheim, It was also known as "Mannheimer Spitzยซ. Only later did the Dwarf Spitz (Pomeranian) with a height at the withers of up to 22 centimeters was developed as a separate variety. Internationally the breed belongs to the group 5 of the FCI โ€œSpitz and dogs of the original typeโ€ in the section 4 ยซEuropean Spitzยซ.

History

The history of the ยซLaika of Yakutiaยป is very extensive. For centuries, sleds pulled by dogs was something very important for the majority of peoples of the North of Russia, due to their way of life and the climate to which they were subjected. In the Neolithic, on the coast line of northeast Asia, These dogs were used for transportation and hunting.

At the beginning of the year 90, There was a finding on Zhokhov Island (Novosibirsk Islands, Yakutia), they found an archaeological site of hunters and dogs. It was investigated by an archaeologist from St. Petersburg, Vladimir Pitulko, there he found archaeological remains of sleighs, harnesses and that they still kept the bones of the dogs. Through the radiocarbon method, they demonstrated that these remains had an age of 7.800 to 8.000 years. This, It is the oldest find that has taken place in the Arctic..

Ethnographers MG Levin (1946), Smolyak AV (1978) and other authors, they share that since ancient times (up until the present day), for the aboriginal peoples of the north, the sled dogs were always universal animals: they were shooting animals, they were used also as food, and their skins were used for the manufacture of clothing and the rituals of worship. Times, the dogs were sacrificed and were used for religious ceremonies.

Many geographic discoveries in the Arctic were possible, with the sled dogs. The two poles of the Earth were discovered with the help of these dogs, in 1907, F. Cook and 1909 R. Piry reached the North Pole. In 1911, Amundsen was a Norwegian flag at the South Pole, in hostile climatic conditions, made 2.980 miles in 99 days with sled dogs.

Until 1960 sleds pulled by dogs teams were important and, sometimes the only available form of winter transport in the northern regions of Russia. They were used not only by the local population, but also by government agencies, including troops from the border, the postal service and scientific expeditions. According to data from file, at the end of the 50 years of 20th century, in Northern Uluses of Yakutia, the total number of dogs was 33 000. The decline of dog sledding in Russia began during the last thirty years of the 20th century., When appeared on the market the snowmobiles, This led to a decline of fur and the local fishing industry, that little by little led to the extinction of the use of sledge dogs…

"Give me winter and a team of dogs, and take all the rest" are the words of the famous northern traveler Knut Rasmussen, who made the trip longer on sledges pulled by dogs. This phrase describes the importance that have had these dogs to the length and breadth of history, and that in turn, shows that without them much of what we know today would belong to our ignorance.

The first written record of the dogs in the Yakutian territory dates of 1633. In the documents of the time, the olenek river, The Yana River and the Kolyma River were called "Rivers of Dogs". In Siberia, Rivers are divided into "dog rivers" and "deer rivers". In rivers rich in fish, It was easy to capture and store enough fish (dry fish – yukola) to feed the dogs and that's why they were called dog rivers. When there are fish no, it was difficult to use dogs for transport and reindeer were used, what are reindeer rivers. The journey along the โ€œrivers of dogsโ€ was more difficult, due to the continued need for fishing and hunting to obtain enough food for dogs.

In 1843, The ยซManual of Geography of the Russian Empireยป by Ivan Yakovlevich Pavlovsky was published, in this book, described the Yakutian Laika as a special race, as "a domesticated animal used for pulling sleds and hunting".

History

Korea Jindo Dog

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

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

Physical characteristics

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

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

Character and skills

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

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

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

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

Education of the โ€œKorean Jindo Dogโ€

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

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

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

Health of the โ€œKorean Jindo Dogโ€

Robust Spitz

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

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

Nutrition of the โ€œKorean Jindo Dogโ€

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

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

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

Care of the โ€œKorean Jindo Dogโ€

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

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

Activities with the โ€œKorean Jindo Dogโ€

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

Before Buying a โ€œKorean Jindo Dogโ€

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

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

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

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

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

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