Observations

It is a very robust breed of dog, that often has a high percentage of Diabetes Mellitus.

What is Diabetes Mellitus?

Diabetes is defined as a disorder in the metabolism of the hydrates of carbon, fats and proteins caused by a deficiency of insulin, It can be absolute or relative.

Insulin is a hormone secreted in the beta cells of the pancreas, whose production allows to control blood sugar (blood glucose levels). Insulin deficiency causes a deterioration in the capacity of tissues to use nutrients, that translates into an increase of glucose in blood (Hyperglycemia).

Diabetes is classified according to the disease in humans, that is to say, as type I and type II.

The type I It is characterized by the destruction of beta cells, What determines the loss progressive and complete end of insulin secretion. Dogs suffering from Type I Diabetes Mellitus may have a sudden onset of symptoms due to the rapid loss of the ability to produce insulin.. These cases require insulinización from the time of diagnosis and are called diabetics 1,811 (DMID).

Other dogs may have a gradual loss of insulin secretion, that their beta cells will be destroyed with slow. These animals may have an initial period in which hyperglycemia is mild or easily controlled., in which case it's diabetic insulinoindependientes (DMIID), Although in the long term these dogs also need her.

Diabetes Mellitus type II is a little more difficult to understand and is characterized by what we call "insulin resistance" and by "dysfunctional" beta cells. The secretion of insulin by these cells will be high, low or normal, but not enough to overcome the resistance to it in the peripheral tissues.

It´s, to explain it in a graphic way, It is as if peripheral tissues do not obey the orders of the insulin or were not able to do what send it.

Regarding the metabolism or synthesis of glucose, These dogs may have DMID or DMIID, that is to say, whether or not to require insulin depending on the extent of insulin resistance and the functional status of the beta cells in terms of their ability to produce and secrete the hormone in low amounts, normal or high.

Dogs also recognizes a secondary diabetes, produced by a carbohydrate intolerance (glucose) due to the presence of a disease or a drug treatment that it antagonizes or counteracts the effects of insulin and can lead to the exhaustion of the beta cells of the pancreas with the appearance of diabetes insulinodependiente.

The owners of diabetic dogs should be aware that the routine in the treatment with insulin and food has to be respected. Two fixed doses of insulin per day associated with a palatable food that always provides the same source and the same amount of starch, always run at the same time it can reduce the risk of hypoglycemia in diabetic dogs.

In North America, area where the Australian Terrier is very popular, scientific research is being carried out on the incidence of this disease.

History

The American Staffordshire Terrier or Amstaff (different to the American Pitbull Terrier), is a breed of dog type Terrier well known worldwide.

It is a young breed of dog from the USA.. Among his ancestors are, Besides of Terrier, the Old english bulldog.

In England and North America, dog fighting had a tradition dating back to ancient times.. The Old english bulldog was sent to fight bulls in the arenas of animal fighting. Although Old english bulldog are the forerunners of Bulldogs of today, his physique was much more similar to the current one American Staffordshire Terrier. After animal fighting was officially banned, continued illegally; In the USA. until today. Its origin in the 19th century was the black county of central England, called Staffordshire. Workers from the coal mines and clay pits crossed the Old english bulldog with the terriers. In the official scene of the fight against animals such crosses had been prohibited. It was feared that the fighting power and toughness of the Bulldog will combine with the predatory acuity of the terriers, which would lead to uncontrollable fighting machines. In the illegality of the backyards nobody cared. This is how he was born «Bull and Terrier» and very quickly came to the US. There they liked to call them «Pit Bulls». Pit is the name given to the dogfighting ring.

In 1898 The United Kennel Club was founded (UKC), who wanted to take over the breeding of these dogs. But the UKC was nothing more than a professional dogfighting organizer. So the community was divided around these dogs. Lovers of Pit Bull they condemned dog fighting, they wanted a friendly family dog. In the meantime, the Pit Bulls they had earned a great reputation in US society. In World War, the courage of Pit Bulls became a stimulus for the combat power of American troops. Even celebrities like the President of the United States Theodore Roosevelt showed up with the Pit Bulls.

On cinemas, "The Little Rascals", a gang of kids with a dog, was very popular and was featured in 220 episodes between 1922 and 1944. The dog was the guardian and protector, children's playmate and dildo. This dog was a Pitbull. He later became the first dog registered with the American Kennel Club (AKC) for the new raceStaffordshire terrier«. To draw a clear line at the fighting dog scene, the AKC had insisted on a name change. The first standard was published in 1936. In 1972 there was the second name change to «American Staffordshire Terrier» to distinguish it from its British relative. The Amstaff, what's been called since then, Is higher, bigger and heavier. It is still cared for by the American Staffordshire Terrier Club of America., who from the beginning clearly condemned dog fighting and trusted his upbringing as a family dog.

In many countries, Its social discrimination as a fighting machine and the technically unjustifiable classification as a "dangerous dog breed" have hit it hard..

Popular American Staffordshire Terrier Mixes

Mixtures of American Staffordshire Terrier seriously bred with other dog breeds or hybrids are quite rare. But, there is an abundance of hybrids of all kinds, that remind the Amstaff and are marketed as such or Pitbull. Here I should make a clear distinction. The American Staffordshire Terriers Serious breeding have nothing to do with the general mixes under which troublesome dogs can frolic. Unfortunately, there is a financially strong scene using such dogs as a weapon or to intimidate.

Physical characteristics

How is an American Staffordshire Terrier?

Emphasizes your muscular and sporty complexion. The standard says: «It must be robust and compact, not of legs or of light construction». Any color, solid, multicolor or speckled is allowed. The standard of the American Staffordshire Terrier is pleasantly different from many other dog breeds, which go into great detail on where hair color or crease is allowed. It is one of the few standards that consistently focus on the healthy dog.. This is emphasized by the "1st American Staffordshire Terrier Club":

We give top priority to performance and health. Beauty is considered desirable but secondary. The correct interpretation of the rule, that is free from crippling regulations, It is our obligation. Muscular, dry dogs with long bones, persistent and fast, are our breeding goal. We categorically reject supercharged “monstrosities”, low with extremely high weights. We consider mental performance to be even more important. Nerve strength and impeccable character are an absolute requirement.

How big is an American Staffordshire Terrier??

El American Staffordshire Terrier mide entre 43 and 48 cm tall and weighs between 20 and 30 kg.

How long can an American Staffordshire Terrier live??

Because the breeding of the American Staffordshire Terrier is not oriented so much to external appearances as to aptitude and character, The American Staffordshire Terrier enjoys a fit constitution into old age and a relatively long life expectancy of about 12 years.

Even the big rats were not a problem for them. The hens, pigeons and rabbits protected them from martens and foxes. To keep chasing foxes, the terriers were sent to the trench. They were supposed to get the fox out of the hole. All these tasks required an enthusiastic commitment, special courage, independent thinking and so-called predatory acuity.

History

The first fox terrier, which were first presented at an English dog show in the mid-19th century, they were almost white dogs, especially suitable for fox hunting. Due to his courage, their endurance and ability to track and reach the foxes hidden in their burrow, little terriers soon found a large following among England's hunting and dog lovers. thanks to his physique, the intrepid dogs were able to get into the tubes Fuchsbau narrower. The purpose of breeding for fox hunting was also always the main focus when selecting suitable breeding dogs and ultimately gave the dogs their breed name Fox Terrier. (Fox = Zorro, terre = Earth).
