History

It is believed that the Cardigan Welsh Corgi It is the oldest of the two races Corgi. Although nobody knows for sure, their ancestors may have come to Wales with the ancient Celts who migrated from Central Europe. The dog we know today comes from the hills of Cardiganshire, that were once full of farms and valleys that were perfect for raising cattle. His predecessors had cattle to market, their heels for cattle moved, and they deviated from the path if cattle drew back.

Industrialization ended the usefulness of the Corgi on the farm, and people began to cross with other dogs herding breeds, including Collies and the first Pomeranian, which they were much larger than the current standard of Pomeranian. The crossing with Collie You may have thrown the blue merle color to the genetic background of the Cardigan.

For a while, it seemed that the Cardigan he would go the way of the dinosaurs because he was less popular than his cousin, the Pembroke Welsh Corgi. At any given time, both they were considered the same race, but the Kennel Club separated in 1934, giving the cardigans better chance of surviving on their own.

Physical characteristics

Most Cardis also have white markings on their necks., the chest, paws and tail tip. They weigh between 11 and 17 Kg, which makes them a little larger than Pembroke.

Cardigans may not seem athletes, but they are agile. You will be surprised how fast you can run a Corgi when chasing a ball or compete in agility trials. If you can deviate from the path of mad cow, certainly you can browse frames, tunnels, jumps and other obstacles. Cardi has a lot of resistance, You can even walk the trails, but also it conforms with a short walk or play on the playground.

Start training your puppy the day you bring him home. Even at eight weeks old, He is able to absorb everything you can teach you. Don't wait until you have 6 months to start train or have to deal with more stubborn dog. If possible, take him to puppy kindergarten class when he's between 10 and 12 weeks, and socializes, socialice, socialice. But, Note that many kinds of training puppies require certain vaccinations (such as kennel cough) stay up to date, and many veterinarians recommend limited exposure to other dogs and public places until puppy vaccinations (including rabies, distemper and parvovirus) They are completed. Instead of formal training, You can start training your puppy to socialize at home and among family and friends until immunizations are completed in the puppy.

History

The Border Collie takes its name from the region of Borders, the border region between Scotland and England, where he has been tending flocks of sheep since ancient times with extraordinary efficiency. For a long time, has remained there out of sight of international canine enthusiasts. So, the official rule was not registered with the FCI until 1976.

The foundation of the ISDS (International Society of Sheep Dogs) in 1906 marked a turning point in this dog's history. The name of Border Collie then appeared in 1915 to describe these famous "sheepdogs", in recognition of the selection work carried out by the pastoralists of the border regions. The word "border" refers to the border, while the word "Collie" is used to describe a sheepdog.

The Border Collie owes excellent performance in many disciplines to rigorous and uncompromising selection in a pastoral environment. The different breeds that have stabilized the border are mainly herder breeds (Old English Sheepdog (Bobtail), Bearded Collie…), but also hunting dogs, as the English Pointer and especially the Gordon Setter.

There are two coat varieties, moderately long and short. In both, the outer layer is dense and has a medium texture; the inner layer is dense and soft, which gives it good protection against the inclement weather. In dogs that have a moderately long fur, the abundant hair is Manes, fringes and tail brush. In the face, ears, previous members (except for the fringes) and later members from hocks to the ground, the hair should be short and smooth.

Character and skills

His gaze is one of his main characteristics., in moments of work he never separates her from her leader, denoting an unusual ability to concentrate in other dog breeds. He is happy when working, enjoy doing it.

According to the classification made by Stanley Coren after analyzing the responses of more than 200 work of the AKC judges («The intelligence of dogs», Stanley city, Ediciones B, 1995), the Border Collie is the No. 1 from the list.

It is a clever dog, very acute hearing, with a broad response capacity but, above all, It has a great agility and is owner of extreme intelligence, both functional and obedience.

His strong herding instinct, coupled with his tenacity and resistance, It places it among the most required to bring races, controlling and driving flocks, proving the best breed of dog existing pastor.

The Border Collie is regarded as the breed of more intelligent dogs que existe, next to the Golden Retriever and to the German Shepherd, that is why it is so easy to train.

History

The Czechoslovakian Wolfdog It has its origin in the crossing experiments between the "Carpathian Wolf" and the German Shepherd carried out in the former Czechoslovak Socialist Republic from 1955 under the supervision of the SR. Karel Hartl, a renowned Czech cynologist and breeder. The scientific objective of these experiments was to determine the characteristics of these hybrids. (physical appearance, behavior, utility, fertility…), while the military tried to create a breed with the strength of the wolf and the docility of the dog, that could be used as an attack dog.

The first births took place in 1958 at the border guard kennel in Libejovice, in the south of the country. Brita the wolf and the German Shepherd Cezar z Brezoveho Haje gave birth to 5 Puppies: Brent, Berta, Bono, Betty y Bessy.

Betty was selected to continue the line at the Libejovice kennel, while his sister Berta was sent to the Samorin kennel (now Malacky) with the same goal. Their pups were used as patrol dogs by border guards, confirming that these hybrids were healthy, functional and fertile.

After this initial success, the Brita Wolf was able to mate again with a new male German Shepherd named Kurt z Vaclavky. Like this, in 1960, Defender, Bigan, Trophy, Bill and Bima were born in the Libejovice kennel. The male Bikar was chosen to be sent to the Pohranicni kennel in Slovakia to continue this second lineage.

The experiment stopped at 1965, not without some success: hybrids were able to reproduce, socialize with humans and be trained for different tasks. At the end of the experiment, 16 of these dogs remained in the care of the army, While 18 were given to civil breeders.

Then new lines were created, as..:

– Astra (female german shepherd dog) and Argo (Carpathian wolf male) in 1968;
– Lejdy (female Carpathian wolf) y Boyar from Schotterhof (male german shepherd) in 1972;
– Urta with the Guardian Guard (third generation hybrid female) and Sarik (male Carpathian wolf) in 1974;
– Xela with the Guardian Guard (third generation female hybrid) and Sarik (Carpathian wolf male) in 1983.

Name "Czechoslovakian Wolfdog» parece haberse convertido en algo común para designar a estos híbridos ya en el decenio de 1960, but it wasn't until 1982 that the efforts of Mr.. Karel Hartl were finally officially rewarded when this new breed was recognized by the Czechoslovakian Dog Breeders Committee, the canine organization of reference in the country.

It developed quite quickly and to 1991 not less than 1552 Czechoslovakian wolfhounds were entered in the national register of pedigree dogs.

In 1999, the Czechoslovakian Wolfdog was recognized by the Fédération Cynologique Internationale (FCI).

In the news, are mainly found in Central Europe, but its popularity is growing rapidly in various Western European countries such as Italy, Germany, Spain and France. In France, for example, little more than 3.000 representatives of the breed have registered with the LOF (Book of French Origins) between 2010 and 2016, and the trend is increasing. His growing renown leads him to the gates of 10 Most popular dog breeds in France.

On the other hand, the Czechoslovak Wolf dog has not actually crossed the English Channel: it is only one of the breeds recognized by the Kennel Club, the British organization of reference, and the FCI only has one approved kennel in the whole country.

In United States, the AKC (American Kennel Club) partially recognizes it from 2001: their representatives can participate in competitions organized under the aegis of the organization, but they cannot register in the breed dog registry. On the other hand, the UKC (United Kennel Club) fully recognizes it, and has been doing it since 2006. It also, in 2011 an official breed club was established (el Czechoslovakian Vlcak Club of America). There are currently some 200 specimens in american territory.

Character and skills

The Czechoslovakian Wolfdog he is very devoted to his family, including children. But, their rather dominant nature can be problematic for young people. In any case, it is important to socialize him from an early age and never leave a young child alone with a dog, regardless of race.

He is also sociable with his companions and other pets who live under the same roof., since he is used to their presence relatively early. On the other hand, woe to the cats, small dogs and other rodents that are unfamiliar to you and would have the bad idea to venture into your territory, or that they will meet during a walk: his hunting instincts were then all chances to regain the advantage.

It also, he is as affectionate with his entourage as he mistrusts strangers: there is also necessary an education and socialization of the puppy started from an early age to avoid any later problem.

Having a highly developed sense of hierarchy, debe enfrentarse lo antes posible con su «líder de la manada», who should show their dog his place in the family hierarchy . The Czechoslovakian Wolfdog he is a dog that cannot stand loneliness, greatly preferring to live in the company of their pack, that is, his family. You are very likely to be unhappy if you have to be alone for long periods of time and are at risk of running away to join your family, o de sentirse excluido de la «manada» y perder la confianza en su amo.

It also, the Czechoslovakian Wolfdog it is a very durable and active breed of dog, able to accompany his master even over very long distances that can exceed even those of a marathon, and whatever the weather conditions. In fact, being able to exercise daily is necessary for your physical and psychological well-being, and allows to avoid the risk of damage caused by the dog . It is an ideal companion for a sports lover who would like to, for example, jogging with your dog , go hiking with your dog or even ride a bike with your dog.. On the other hand, even more than for any other race, your handler should make sure to always be out front and thus show your dog who is the “leader of the pack” .

On the other hand, a person who prefers to spend his free time in front of a screen or immersed in a book is exposed to some difficulties if he thinks about adopting a Czechoslovakian Wolfdog …

It also, by needing space, the latter is not a recommended breed of dog in apartments : it is much better to have a house with a garden. It is not uncommon to see him playing and sleeping there whatever the weather: it's not very hard, and is able to perfectly withstand bad weather. On the other hand, it is recommended that said garden be perfectly fenced, to avoid the risk of the dog escaping and wandering on public roads.

The Czechoslovakian Wolfdog very little, if he barks. But when it does, it is impossible not to notice: similar to his ancestors the wolves , its howl is loud and can be heard over long distances. Daily, when you need to express yourself, opt for other means, like moans and grunts .

Like this, this loyal and active dog will make a firm human companion happiness, sporty and available, but it is not recommended for people who have never had dogs before or who are often absent. In fact, the majority of failed adoptions are due to the fact that the human has not known how to impose himself as "leader of the pack" and / or has not been sufficiently available and active for his partner.

Last, It should be remembered that this recent breed of dog is still under construction, so excessively fearful or aggressive subjects may appear.
