    History

    It is said that the Swiss Hound is among the oldest members of the Group of Hounds. According to a 15th century letter to Ernst, Elector of Saxony (1441-86), Swiss working dogs were among the best. Images from the 17th century show packs of hounds "with the same color and the same size, "big heads and very long ears".

    Three centuries later, the german dog writer Richard Strebel wrote in ยซDie Deutschen Hundeยป (German dog breeds, 1903-05) that the hounds that lived separately in a restricted area of โ€‹โ€‹Switzerland therefore developed separately.

    In the decade of 1890, it seemed that purebred bloodhounds were marked for death in Switzerland, despite the breeding Schwyz Hound, Bernese Hound and Lucerne Hound. Some hounds were exported to Scandinavia and, thanks to the crossing with native hounds, the Stรถvares (scandinavian hounds) they were blooming. But at the same time, the Thurgauer Laufhund quietly disappeared in Switzerland, and the Aargauer Laufhund gave way to Jura Hound (Bruno Jura Hound).

    In 1903, J. Dust del Swiss Kennel Club founded the Schweizerische Laufhunde-Club (Swiss Hound Club) and in 1907 an appeal was made to save the Swiss hound of extinction. Then something remarkable happened: the breed club bought good quality Swiss hounds and gave them to prudent breeders and hunters. Test rules and regulations were developed and a series of obligations were established: to) only one dog at a time when hunting; b) the dog had to be under control when searching for game; c) a dog that disappeared during the hunt had to return to its master within half an hour; y d) the dog was to return as soon as the horn sounded, regardless of whether the dog was looking. Using these rules, the breed club tried to exclude disobedient dogs and forced owners to properly breed and train their dogs.

    Four varieties

    The development of Swiss Hound started in the decade of 1930, but it took time and effort. In 1937, only five hounds were entered in the Swiss herd book. The Dr. O. Vollenweider managed to gather 11 hound collectors in the city of Soleura, in northwestern Switzerland. Dogs suitable for breeding were selected and, in 1933, a breed standard was published. In the standard, the varieties were distinguished by coat color and pattern.

    In 1944, 150 Swiss hounds were entered in a hound exhibition. (as a neutral country, Switzerland did not participate in WWII) It was no longer forbidden to work with dogs that gave tongue, and bloodhounds of more than 20 inches (50 centimeters) to the cross.

    Attempts to save or restore the Laufhund de Argovia they were unsuccessful; in 1933, the breed standard was canceled. Four varieties remained: the Bernese Hound, the Jura Hound (Bruno Jura Hound), the Lucerne Hound and the Schwyz Hound. Their names connect them with cities and areas of Switzerland (Berne, Lucerne, Jura), or with Switzerland.

    It is said that between 1902 and 1922, a few 1.200 swiss hounds, mainly Schwyz Hound white-yellow, they were raised in Norway. Some years, there were more Swiss Hounds outside of Switzerland than in their country of origin. In 1993, about 1.000 copies of Lucerne Hound they lived in sweden.

    France is another importer. Seventy-five Jura Hound (Bruno Jura Hound) enrolled in an exhibition in Lyon in 1976. It is not surprising that the Jura is predominantly found in France and Switzerland, and that it extends to Germany. Since the 15th century, Swiss hounds were also exported to Italy. According to raven, they frequently crossed paths with his Italian cousin, the Italian short-haired Segugio.

    History

    Where does he come from Siberian Husky originally?

    The history of the Siberian Husky is inseparably connected with the lives of the people of the Arctic Circle. Only with their dogs, that pulled the sleds, they helped in the hunt, provided reliable GPS, they protected them from polar bears and finally warmed them on cold nights, the people there managed to survive. But, the Siberian Husky as a modern dog breed it is quite young. Its history began around 1910, and in Alaska the huskies they were bigger and stronger, comparable to current MALAMUTE.

    At the sled races a Siberian fur trader appeared with his thin dogs. They were called "Huskyยซ, at that time an expletive for the eskimos. But these dogs won race after race. The polar explorer Roald Amundsen noticed them. Norwegian Leonard Seppala began to reproduce them. His breakthrough came in 1925 when a diphtheria epidemic broke out in the remote city of Name in the middle of the polar winter. In the extremely heavy snow there was no way to get through. Adults and children died. so brave โ“˜ mushers under Seppala's leadership they decided to bring the salivary serum to more than 1000 kilometers with their sleds of huskies. They gave it their all and the people were saved. A monument was erected on the Central Park in New York in honor of Husky. Even today theGreat Iditarod Sled Raceยป continues to be celebrated every year in Name.

    The Husky Siberian began his triumphal procession with the people of the sled dogs. He benefited from the fact that โ“˜ mushers they wanted fast dogs for short distances, While the inuit depended on endurance and long distances. There are many breeds of sled dogs that vary according to need, as the Husky de Alaska. But only the Siberian Husky is recognized as a breed of dog.

    In 1932 The standard that defines it as a working sled dog according to โ€œform for functionโ€ was approved. In the USA., breeders started around 1970 to create a Husky For the general public. Two lines developed, the Showdog and the Siberian Husky employee.

    Popular mixes

    Mixes with Siberian Husky they are not rare. But due to the highly specialized nature of this sled dog it is not infrequently problematic.. So it's not uncommon for nervous dogs to emerge, that can also bite.

    Physical characteristics

    What is a "Siberian Husky" like??

    The Siberian Husky, call Husky To abreviate, it is one of the most original dog breeds. Has an unmistakable appearance. One Husky embodies wildlife, he immediately remembers his father the wolf. In fact, it is one of the dog breeds most closely genetically related to the wolf. And that, even though he has been working as a sled dog for over 10.000 years and there has been no significant interbreeding with wolves since then, as shown by genetic investigations from 2020. The official FCI standard still defines the Siberian Husky as:

    Medium size working dog, fast, light feet… extremely capable of performing its original task as a sled dog and pulling light loads at moderate speed over long distances.

    All colors from black to white are allowed. Characteristic is the structure of its coat with a very dense undercoat and a skin-like topcoat.. As a whole, the Husky reminds of a wolf in appearance, complexion and sometimes in his coat.

    One Husky moves with light feet. His walk is unmistakable. It is a special pleasure to see your elegance and power in space while running. But, only one legend says that a black eye belongs to the Husky. Although it is allowed by the rule, still a genetic defect. Inuit have avoided blue eyes, because they reduce your vision in the polar sun.

    How big is a โ€œSiberian Husky?โ€?

    The height at the withers is between 50 and 60 cm with a weight between 20 and 28 kg.

    Characteristics and traits

    The Husky is a highly specialized working dog. Running is his passion, especially pulling sleds. If you are interested in a Husky, you should visit the sled dog races in winter. It is deeply impressive and fascinating. You can feel the extreme tension of the dogs much earlier. When you go to the exit, there is hardly a stop. Like in an explosion, this tension dissolves in the rapid acceleration of the sled, which can then be dragged over dozens of kilometers in a stretch. The Siberian Husky loves this job and needs it too. This is a challenge to your position.

    The Husky it is a modern and archaic dog. In his character there is much wolf life although – purely genetically speaking – is not more closely related to him than other dogs. The huskies they are quiet but excellent observers and can, for example, steal a piece of sausage from your plate in an instant and with great precision. They don't make much of a fuss about their actions. At most before a common excursion the temper crosses them. The huskies they are excellent hunters. To their humans they are friendly and gentle. The Husky he is not a guard dog but is willing to defend his family effectively.

    Caution, health and diseases

    How much care does a "Siberian Husky" need??

    The Siberian Husky needs regular grooming, at least weekly. Coat changes, twice a year, they are particularly intense. Then your house, his car and his clothes will be full of his long hair, even if you brush it daily.

    Typical diseases of the breed

    The Siberian Husky it is a very healthy breed as long as it is not raised in extreme conditions. One extreme is the racing huskies, that are only optimized for the sporting success of mushers. Here we see many deformations of the march, thermal balance, the entire cardiovascular system and even the psyche. Partially bad in both directions, what is made of these extremely robust primitive dogs today.

    What food is best for a "Siberian Husky"?

    The Siberian Husky is often a very picky eater. That is why their diet is often demanding. Of course, this always depends a little on each dog. The โ“˜ mushers they have secret recipes with treats to provide their dogs with enough energy before the races.

    Activities

    How much exercise does our โ€œSiberian Huskyโ€ need??

    The Siberian Husky Nowadays it is divided into two types as described. In both, However, the Husky
    authentic still alive. The huskies they want to run. This doesn't just mean an extensive nature walk. Can you feel the essence of a Husky when you experience it at sled dog races. You can only keep one Siberian Husky in a species-appropriate way, if you do a sled sport or its variants for training without snow. Otherwise, you have to give it a lot of activity, all days.

    Considerations before purchase

    Where can you buy a "Siberian Husky"?

    If you are interested in a Siberian Husky, the first thing to do is check if you want and can spend at least the next ten years of a common sporting life with these dogs. Then you should find a trusted local breeder, or in an animal shelter.

    Education and maintenance

    Should a "Siberian Husky" suit me??

    The Siberian Husky a dog is not for beginners. You have high demands on your attitude, stemming from your destiny as a sled dog. All of our routines must be tailored to your needs. This applies especially to working line dogs.. In the case of show lines for family dogs, these requirements are only valid up to a point. Dogs accustomed to living in an apartment can sometimes even be seen directly here. But are they still huskies?

    The real Siberian Husky needs the challenge in front of the sled physically and mentally. There are many possibilities here even without snow. We see a kind of sled on wheels like a tricycle or a training car with four tires. Canicross is the name of the discipline in which huskies they pull a runner by the lap belt. In bike riding they pull a mountain bike, in scooterjรถring of a special scooter, in skiing of a skier. This type of dog sport has something very special. It allows you to experience a deep unity between the man-dog and nature in a way that is otherwise almost impossible..

    Ride with a sleigh of Huskies through a snowy landscape in winter is one of the greatest experiences of all. Of course it is also good for your health.

    Sporting success should never be sought at the expense of dogs. The Siberian Husky not a dog for an apartment. The ideal would be a house with a garden. The Husky it is one of the few dog breeds that can be kept in a kennel with several dogs. He likes to sleep outside and curls his head under his tail during the heaviest snowfall and enjoys his peace and quiet. The garden, where to Huskies they like to stay, should not be considered as an ornamental garden.

    The Siberian Husky can be well trained by an experienced dog owner. He is open and honest and likes to work alongside his master or carer, although their "will to please" is limited. Not a partner for any kind of tricks. Only when it comes to pulling a sled are you with all your senses and all your will to do so. Quickly learn to follow the orders of the โ“˜ musher. In daily contact he is trouble free and frugal. Must be used to other pets, especially cats or rabbits, from the puppy, otherwise it sees them as prey.

    Jรคmthund

    Still very old, the Jรคmthund was not recognized until the year 1946, It was previously confused with the Gray Norwegian Elkhound

    Content

    History

    Only in 1946 the Jรคmthund (Jรคmthund) was recognized as a breed. But, the Jรคmthund it is a very old breed of dog, which is already known since the north of Sweden is populated.

    The reason for this belated recognition is that the small Gray Norwegian Elkhound and the jรคmthund they were judged by the same race. At the end, this trial turned out to be untenable. The Jรคmthund mainly used to hunt moose, but it has also been used to hunt bears and lynxes, especially in the past.

    Today the FCI recognizes three different moose dogs:

    All three are assigned to buffers and dogs of the original type (group 5) and in them they are assigned to the section 2 ยซNordic Hunting Dogsยป.

    Physical characteristics

    The Jรคmthund He is respected for his wolf-like appearance and his great and powerful stature. With a height at the cross of 57 to 65 centimeters and a weight of about 30 kg, It is the largest and heaviest of the three moose dogs recognized and at the same time the largest Nordic hunting dog. Throughout its long history, the Jรคmthund not only faced wolves, lynx and elk, but also adult bears, whom he faced fearlessly when hunting.

    Character and skills

    Blind obedience is a long way off for this self-assured and independent pedigree dog from the far north. After all, the Jรคmthund in Sweden has been hunting moose, lynxes and even bears bravely and on their own for thousands of years. Although he always keeps in touch with his hunter, this smart and independent breed doesn't need your orders.

    Strong dog personality with many talents

    Dog lovers who are interested in this breed should know that the practice of certain commands sometimes requires some effort. With stupid repetitions or even with force and violence you will not achieve anything with the Jรคmthund.

    But, if you accept his character and thoughtful nature and have the skills to deal with such a strong personality, you can certainly train him to be a versatile companion and working dog. With inventiveness, patience, consistency and sensitivity, the persistent and powerful Jรคmthund can be trained not only to be a versatile hunting dog, but also an excellent herding dog, guardia, sled and rescue.

    Very experienced hunting dog

    Despite relatively late recognition as a separate breed, the origin of Jรคmthund goes back a long time. In the province of Jamtland, in central Sweden, which is decisive for his name, the type of dog has been known for thousands of years.

    Even the first settlers in northern and central Sweden had dogs to hunt bears., Moose, lynxes and wolves. Hunters appreciated above all their enormous stamina and physical strength., with which the dog, independently and bravely, went out looking for game.

    Today it is regarded in hunting circles as a fearless and energetic search dog., which is not only suitable for hunting loose hounds, it can also be used for hunting guide dogs. Search and pursue game in the dense forests of Scandinavia and remain silent until you have placed the animal. Only then does he give the hunter a signal through his barking that he can hit the target.. This type of hunting is called ยซstanding stillยซ.

    The Jรคmthund as a family dog

    Also as a family dog รขโ‚ฌโ€นรขโ‚ฌโ€นthe Jรคmthund it is very suitable, as long as enough space is given to the independent nature and great desire for freedom of this original hunting dog. So he's considered friendly, balanced, calm and fond of children. After an appropriate period of acclimatization, also accepts conspecifics, cats and other pets without any problem.

    He meets strangers with a certain distrust according to his natural instinct for vigilance and protection.. Does not act nervous or aggressive. There is also no denying a certain joy of barking to this Nordic hunting dog.

    Breeding and buying a Jรคmthund

    In Sweden the Jรคmthund has long been known beyond hunting circles and is popular as a versatile utility and companion dog. In other countries of the world, However, the swedish pedigree dog is very rare. Although you can find breeders in Germany, Great Britain, the Netherlands and North America, searching and waiting for a purebred puppy can sometimes take years. So, it is advisable to contact a registered association for Nordic dogs, that can help you find breeders in Scandinavia.

    What do I have to consider when buying a Jรคmthund?

    Although the distance to the breeder is long, those interested should take the time to get to know the kennel, the animals and the breeder in detail before buying. Don't take home the first best puppy, Before making several visits, convince yourself that it is a serious parenting, that dogs are raised with a lot of experience and love.

    In addition to health tests, vaccinations and the presence of all important papers and a pedigree, animals must grow up in a close relationship with their breeder from birth. The socialization of a Jรคmthund already begins in the first weeks of life. Living with his mother and brothers, but also with the breeder's family, puppies learn the most important rules of the nest.

    What demands does the Jรคmthund to the owner?

    One Jรคmthund need plenty of exercise. You must also be sufficiently disabled both physically and mentally. A life in gated communities, in the city and without a garden, it certainly doesn't do this kind of dog justice.

    The Jรคmthund feels more comfortable in rural areas. There you can move freely and spend a lot of time in nature. If not used for hunting purposes, you should definitely offer alternative activities. Possible are examinations for companion dogs, dog tournaments or rescue dog training. Also bike rides, long walks or sledding shots in winter are suitable to satisfy the great momentum of movement of the Jรคmthund.

    Is a suit for me Jรคmthund?

    As technology progressed, the Swedish Lapphund was gradually replaced by snowmobiles. Due to its faithful and pleasant character, the breed remained, however, preserved. Today they are highly valued as family and companion dogs.. But they are also suitable for hunting, like watchdogs, and even as search and rescue dogs.
