History

The White Swiss Shepherd Dog a breed of dog is pastor of Swiss origin. Share origins with the German Shepherd, but has been recognized provisionally as a breed apart by the FCI.

The 3 in April of 1899, the first dog German Shepherd, as we know it today, It was officially registered. This dog was a completely white male which was used by ranchers and sheepherders for grazing because it was very easy to distinguish it from the wolves.

The first news about a hatchery White Swiss Shepherd Dog are earlier than the year 1900 and its origin is found in Alsace-Lorraine, to be more exact in the Royal Court of the Habsburgs. In their enclosure they had a kennel of purebred white shepherds.

After the creation of the race German Shepherd, all colors were accepted. It was in the first decades of the 20th century, When were the white copies excluded, Therefore, persecuted and almost wiped out in Europe.

Back in the years 70, Switzerland had imported the first specimens of white shepherds, while in Germany - as we said above- as these dogs did not meet the standard of the German Shepherd as we know it today, White shepherds were almost wiped out.

The first Club of White Swiss Shepherd Dog was founded in the decade of 1970 in United States. For which reason, the race returned to appear in Europe. At first in Switzerland and Denmark, and later in Germany. Little by little, European Cynological societies began to open their stud books for the White Swiss Shepherd Dog.

A dog born in 1966, it was the first White Swiss Shepherd Dog which was registered in Europe, in Switzerland.

The breed was recognized in Switzerland of 1991, followed by the Netherlands in 1992. Czech Republic, Austria and Denmark, They also recognized the breed.

Switzerland, Despite the low popularity of this breed, He recovered the race and also assumed the same motherhood, so in the 26 in November of the year 2002 the Federation Cynologique Internationale acknowledged - on a provisional basis- to the White Swiss Shepherd Dog, as a separate breed.

Physical characteristics

The White Swiss Shepherd Dog, to the naked eye and as far as the physical, He is a German Shepherd in all rule, It is only slightly more elongated and less angular.

According to him standard, the White Swiss Shepherd Dog, is a dog from size medium, powerful, muscular and robust. According to the standard, males must have a tall cross ranging from 60 to 66 cm., females are slightly smaller their stature is about 55 to 61 cm..

It has the ears large, straight and triangular. The tail scimitar-shaped, is low and at rest reaches the Hock.

It is the eyes they are fed and slightly oblique tend to be of color dark brown or purplish-brown fire.

And perhaps, The most outstanding feature of this beautiful dog is its white mantle of double layer and medium long length. Dense and well separated hair.

The colour of the mantle is white. The nose, the lips and pads are absolutely black.

In the year 1933, the white color of the coat was pointed out as a defect that had to be eliminated by the German Shepherd Club of Germany, of America and Canada.

There are even theories, in the news, that continues to hold the white color is due to a physical defect, to a pathology but that type of theory lacks foundation and the first proof of it, It is a very healthy dog.

Its white color comes from a simple recessive gene that both parents must be carriers to continue the color, that is the reality.

Character and skills

The German Shepherd, not only the color of the mantle but also in its character differ.

While it is a dog of great temperament he displays never nervous, But if attentive and vigilant. It tends to be suspicious with strangers but never aggressive.

It is a dog friendly, very Intelligent and learn with ease.

Itร‚ยดs fair to his family and -as we said- he can be cautious with strangers, but should never show shy or fearful behavior and less aggressiveness. Some people think that the Arctic Wolf mixed with the breed, and that's where his caution comes from, but that only a legend.

It is a balanced dog, very good watchdog and has even been trained as a guide dog on occasion.

It is a great companion for everything physical exercise that is its scope, loves to play with sticks, balls, run…

While its origin speaks of a shepherd dog, today despite the fact that in some countries it is still used in such tasks, is widely accepted as a companion dog.

It adapts perfectly to the home, fond of children but remember that need exercise like all dogs, This always necessary if we want to keep happy balanced our puppies. Let's not forget that he is a working dog that needs physical and mental challenges.

The White Swiss Shepherd Dog gets along well with other dogs and, as well, It is usually good in agility competitions, search, rescue and obedience. They are also used as assistance dogs.

The character of White Swiss Shepherd Dog it is softer than the German Shepherd, But if you take genius to protect his family, will not hesitate it to.

Slovak Cuvac

History

The white mountain dog breed group is derived from arctic-type wolves, whose survivors remained from the pre-glacial era in the mountainous areas of Europe, to where they reached the freezing limits. These areas are the mountainous slopes of the North Caucasus, the balkans, especially the Rodope mountains, the Carpathians, especially the Tatra, the slopes to the north of Abruzzo and finally the Pyrenees. In these cold and humid regions the mountain dog was introduced, also accompanied by an ancient flora and fauna which were still discovered by the Swedish researcher Wahlenberg in Scandinavia.. We can find a similar relationship with Nordic pets, for example, in Tatra regions in the Carpathians where the Huzul horse has as its predecessor the Gudbrandstal horse; in the same way, the Slovak Cuvac has an analogy with pomeranian sheepdog. Slovak alpine cowboy activity has a very old tradition.

The Slovak Cuvac along with the mountain sheep, the Huzul horse and the typical mountain inhabitants constitute the basic economic conditions to take advantage of the pastures for cattle raising. The Slovakian mountains belonged mostly to the free people who were not subjected to the serfdom of the Middle Ages; the people protected the borders of the country and their task was only to make sheep cheese. His institution was called the โ€ณWallach Allianceโ€ณ (Vallasky belt), based in Kaschau until the abolition of easements. The members of this military and pastoral group carried out their services in the rangelands, always accompanied by the typical surveillance dog. Tatra that also appear in many images. The Slovak Cuvac has shown his skills as a good caregiver, guardian and companion, as well as guide the flocks of sheep, to the care of the cattle and also in the pastures of turkeys and other domestic animals, as well as in the guard of various objects. Also the clients of the thermal stations who visited the alpine cowboys and who came to buy cheeses and other products, they looked with pleasure at these puppies covered in dense hair and bought them, taking this breed to lower places where it was often considered a luxury breed for its unique appearance.

In the Polish Tatra region, where there is a similar breed of mountain dog called goral dog, exceptionally strong specimens were commonly called "Liptauer", indicating its Slovak origin. In this way, It is also limited from the topographical point of view the region of the breeding of the Slovak Cuvac white. The genealogical record of the Slovak Cuvac was started in Czechoslovakia more than 30 years by Professor Anton Hruza of the Brรผnn Veterinary School. The initial material came from the Liptovska Luzna region, kokava, Vychodna from Tatrach and the surrounding area of รขโ‚ฌโ€นรขโ‚ฌโ€นRachovo in the Carpathians. The first hatchery was named โ€ณZe zlatรฉ studnyโ€ณ (from the golden well) and it was founded in Svitavy u Brna.

Breeding in the Carpathians was called โ€ณz Hoverlyโ€ณ (the Hoverla). Since then, the Breeders Club of Slovak Cuvac is based in Bratislava where exact registrations are made and exhibitions are organized, judgments and competitions that extend to the whole country. Other original bloodlines come from the Liptovskรฉ Hole regions, Velky Choc, buried, Martin, Jedlova and Jeseniky. The lines that have spread further are Topas, career, Simba, Hrdos, Ibro, Cuvo, Ass, Dinar, Samko, Bojar, Olaf and others. Genetically the Slovak Cuvac can be characterized as a leuzistic mountain dog with a black muzzle, and to a lesser extent as a flavistico white dog with brown snout and lighter eyes. From the combination of the mentioned genetic types, in which the first is dominant, some variations in color tonality originate, pigmentation of the eyes, of the eyelids, of the muzzle, lips and mucosa. By means of a strict selection in the direction of the first type, judges and breeders achieved the rate required for the current standard and its stabilization within the hatchery area. The number of club members with bred and kennel dogs has reached as many as 200 in the last times. Since then, we have 800 live and registered dogs throughout the Republic. The quality of our upbringing of Slovak Cuvac it reflects, among other things, in the favorable judgment made in international exhibitions (Prague, Brno, Liberec, Bratislava, Leipzig among others) with intense foreign competition.

Malinois

The Malinois is vigilant, always active and alert. He has an innate aptitude as a flock guardian…

Content

History

The Malinois is one of the 4 belgian shepherd varieties, its name comes from the Belgian city of Mechelen (Mechelen Dutch, French Malines), town that saw it born.

The first standard of this variety was written by Professor Reul, of the Club du Chien de Berger Belge, to be adopted in 1892. The appearance, skills and most of the physical characteristics outlined in this standard, they are almost identical to the current. Its origins are the same as those of wire-haired dogs.

This variety, little known, of Belgian Shepherd is a breed of utility par excellence and is very appreciated by trainers of dogs work and people who participate in various tests of competition as Schutzhund.

In addition to his civilian facet as a competitive "athlete", It is also frequently used by the armed forces, for example the Mexican army who used it to attack.

They are very popular in Belgium, France and America, the first Malinois they arrived in United States in 1907, to be used by the police, due to its temperamental characteristics.

Currently the Malinois It has been a better option for the election of the army and police, unlike the German Shepherd, Although does not have the same force as the German Shepherd, the Malinois surpasses this in resistance and availability to work, Moreover the level of intelligence is similar, even many creators who have worked with both races, They claim that it is superior.

Its development is closely linked to sport, in particular the French Ring and their dissemination at the global level. In fact, in 1900 organized the first tests with jump of obstacles, obedience and a program of bite and 1909 in Paris, is the first World Championship in Ring, from which, is carried out each year.

Physical characteristics

The Malinois shared standard with each other 3 varieties of Belgian Shepherd, differentiating these only in the length, type and hair color. His hair is short on the body, without fringes in limb or tail, the color is carborane Brown and presents dark mask on the face.

Its robust constitution allows it to easily adapt to life outdoors and withstand the environmental conditions of climates as difficult as that of Belgium..

For more than four decades, the lines of beauty and work have not mixed with each other. The Malinois It is above all a breed of utility and if there is something that it is becoming known around the world for, it is for its good attributes for work while still seeing that it is not a dog that resists all terrain, in strength is surpassed by the German Shepherd and some Bull type dogs, but it is still an exemplary dog.

So, It is not a variety whose upbringing go primarily oriented to the official type that sets the standard, that is to say: the beauty.

This explains that his standard has a fairly broad margin compared with other races classified by the FCI, that is why it should not surprise found with copies that differ in size and height.

Character and skills

He is a guard dog, always active and alert. He has an innate aptitude as a flock guardian, and it is a tenacious and ardent supporter of his master, bringing together all the qualities needed to be a sheep dog, guardian, of Defense and service.

Despite their heterogeneity of characters these examples stand out for their vitality, loyalty, vivacity, vehemence, innate aptitude of guardian and his obsession with instinctive to cash in and bite objects. And as often have an intuitive nature towards things for his excellent sense of olfactory sensory perception and is a good Hound, and here the dogs exceeding probably is the German Shorthaired.
