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 Cesky Terrier is a small dog characterized by a long head, dull, wedge-shaped with a face bearded, floppy ears, a body and a long coat, silky gray.

In 1949, The breeder Scottish Terrier And avid fontisik hunter Horak of what is now the Czech Republic crossed its Scottish with the «Sealyham terrier»To create what would become the" Czech Terrier ", an elegant pack hunting terrier with a long coat, soft and silky.

Horak loved hunting skills of their Scottish Terriers and personality of the Sealyham Terrier, but not the white coat Sealyham. He believed that breeding the two would produce a dog that would get along while hunting in packs..

Horak dogs were crossed for the first time a Scottish terrier bitch named Donka Lovuzdar, which it was both a hunting dog as a dog conformation show, and Sealyham called Buganier Urquelle, who belonged to a Sealyhams hunting pack. In selecting the features he wanted (a dog that could go hunting on a Friday and that could be easily washed and brushed and he was ready to compete in exhibitions recognition on Saturday and Sunday), the Cruze was a dog with excellent olfactory abilities and a fur gray soft. He designed a haircut with scissors that showed the muscle and the soft fur of the "Czech Terrier" and gave it a thin appearance.

Horak's documentation of the dogs' pedigrees and the crosses he made make him one of the rare breeds that can be traced back to its founders..

Physical characteristics

The "Czech Terrier" is a very muscular hunter terrier, short-legged, well pigmented, rectangular format. It has floppy ears and sports long fur., thin but solid, slightly wavy, with a silky sheen, not too filling.

The coat comes in two color varieties: grey blue (to the puppies are born black) and light brown (to the puppies are born dark brown, chocolate). In both color varieties yellow markings allowed, gray or white.

The "Czech Terrier" is longer than high with a upper line that rises slightly backwards.

They are relatively similar to those of Sealyham terrier and the Scottish Terrier.

The height to the cross is of 25 to 32 cm. (ideal 29 cm for males, 27 cm for females).
The weight must be between 7 and 10 kg.

Character and skills

Like all races, The "Czech Terrier" is not suitable for everyone. It may be quieter than some breeds of Terrier, but still a Terrier. A "Czech Terrier" puppy is a very difficult dog to drive, with lots of energy. These small Terrie likes to hunt and dig them, and they need daily exercise in a safe playground. He will chase a ball and recover, and likes to go for a walk. They do not like to be left alone for long periods and can become annoying barkers if they do not have regular activity and company to channel their energy.. The "Czech Terrier" enjoys and stands out in agility and tracking.

Dog nature always on alert, their wariness of strangers and deep and loud barking it an excellent watchdog. He is loyal to his owner, but lack of socialization during puppyhood can do more reserved or even fearful of strangers. Your new puppy needs daily walks and trips to places suitable for dogs so you can meet people and see, smell and hear new things.

Like most terriers, The "Czech Terrier" can be stubborn. That does not mean it is intelligent, but will have to use patience and guile to train. Make training sessions are short and fun. Use lots of praise and rewards as games and goodies when you do something you like. Always I am firm and consistent in what you ask for that not to be confused with what you want or think you can get away with it. But, is sensible, so avoid harsh corrections.

The West Highland White Terrier, better known as Westie, is a former Scottish hunting terrier. The little terriers from which the Westie they served humans for many years as watchdogs and hunters. It also, they made themselves useful in the house every day. Keeping houses free from rats and mice, driving away a marten or fox that wanted to feed on chickens or pigeons at night, they proved to be useful helpers at home and in court. The true strength of West Highland White Terrier was active fox hunting, the marten and the otter. The little terrier fearlessly and determinedly chased these thieves to the furthest corner of his den., where they were trying to get them out of the burrow, as the hunters counted. Like his three Scottish brothers, Skye and Cairn Terrier, the West Highland White Terrier he is one of the four descendants of these old men Scottish hunting terrier.

History

In the middle of the Edo era, about 1700, a small dog appeared in Japan that looked very much like the type of terrier. It was the result of a cross between small Japanese dogs with English Fox Terrier Smooth, which was brought to the port of Nagasaki by Dutch sailors. At that time the port of Nagasaki was the only port open to Western countries., especially the dutch. After several generations, some descendants of these dogs were bred as a type of Italian Greyhound.

About 1900, al final de la era Meiji, Some of the best of the mentioned dogs were seen in the Kobe district and called "Kobe Terriers". His type was something between modern Fox Terrier Smooth and the modern Japanese Terrier. They were the first terriers to be bred in Japan. This "Kobe Terrier" and some of its ancestors were also called "Oyuki Terrier" and "Mikado Terrier" and are said to be carefully cared for by the premises and also by foreigners.

About 1916 an ancestor of the Japanese Terrier in the Nada district, near Kobe, A dog called "Kuro" (born in 1913 in Kobe), which means "black" in Japanese. This dog was a cross between a English toy terrier and Bull Terrier miniature, both imported from western countries. These pups were bred with bitches of the aforementioned Kobe Terrier. The result was a very short haired dog, thin and small of the Terrier type and was called Japanese Terrier (NIHON) since then. in those days, major breeders in Osaka county engaged in inbreeding and line breeding to cement appearance. Thanks to your efforts, the breed was firmly established in 1930.

In 1932 NIHON TERIA CLUB was founded under the presidency of Tamara KIKUJIRO. The Japanese Terrier it was ideal for city dog ​​breeders and became fashionable.

In 1940, where cities were built everywhere and with these cities grew the demand for a smaller and more active dog than the large guard dogs, the Japanese Terrier became very popular. But, in all its history, this breed was twice threatened with extinction. The first time, during WWII and again, about 1948, due to loss of popularity among the Japanese, since other western races were more fashionable.

Although the Japanese Terrier was recognized by the F.C.I. (Federation Cynologique Internationale) in 1964, this breed was practically unknown outside of Japan.

According to the documents, three basic lines of Japanese Terrier: «LANDMARK» (by Mr.. Nobuaki Shigematsu, Yamaguchi Prefecture), «TAIKO» (by Mr.. Sumiko Amano, Hamamatsu City) and "Tama Takahara" (by Mr.. Jun Takahara, Such).

About 1985, there was less than 50 bitches available for breeding throughout Japan. After the great efforts of some volunteers, who were aware of the need for immediate protection of the race, the number of dogs had reached about 400 breeding dogs after seven years.

So, special mention must be made of the efforts of Mr.. Jun TAKAHARA, whose commitment made the Japanese Terrier was known beyond the borders of Japan.

The breed was not seen in European countries until 1991, when a couple of Japanese Terriers arrived in France at the request of Mrs.. Luisa González de Castejón. Their dog names were "Kuroyuri Maru from Tama Takahara" (male) Y «Keshinome Brains De Tama Takahara» (female).

Another European breeder had also joined this adventure in the years 90: The Sr. Roberto Verde from Naples (Italy) he also owned three beautiful Japanese Terriers.

Time and time again there have been and still are some breeders who care for this breed, but unfortunately it was not possible to establish a stable population in Europe.

After 2 years of establishing contact with the Japanese breeder Mr.. Thoshihide OZAKI was able to import the FIRST Japanese Terrier the 4.11.2014 to AUSTRIA. «Yodogimi de Ozaki Farm JP» born 28.06.2014. This dog was registered with the Austrian Kennel Club (ÖHZB) con JAPT 1.

In order to create a breeding base, more dogs have been imported from Japan in recent years. In total 4 females were brought to Austria and two males (Ozaki Farm JP’s HIBIKI Swiss / 2017 & Ozaki Farm JP’s SHIN / 2018) were transferred to Switzerland. In 2017 the first Japanese Terrier.

Physical characteristics

It is a small dog, elegant in appearance, and a defined and compact configuration.

Shoulder height: 30 cm. – 33 cm.; Weight: a few 5 kg

Fur: Short (2mm) smooth, dense and glossy; the coat does not need any additional care;

Color: Head: Tricolor (fire and white); Body: Basic color white with small black or tan spots.

The breeders of the Japanese Terrier they are very demanding in terms of appearance and color markings, that are sometimes considered more important than your sports skills. The ideal colors and markings in a Japanese Terrier are the black, chocolate brown and beige: The head, ears and nose bone should be dark in color, black or chocolate brown. The muzzle to the nose and on each cheek and above each eye should be light brown. The lower jaw will be white. A clear "V" is visible in the neck. Occasionally there are also dark gray heads with light brown markings. But, this is considered to be the worst of the color variations. This is different with the deep black heads. This black color is allowed, because it reminds one of the old kobe dogs.

Character and skills

The Japanese Terrier not only is he a very intelligent puppy, but also mischievous and full of terrier temperament. Knowing him means loving him for his great sensitivity. He has a cheerful character and will participate in games with pleasure and joy.. It is a one-man dog whose devotion flatters its owner. As an attentive house dog will warn of the approach of a stranger but without being aggressive. It is very easy to train and can learn all kinds of tricks. His greatest effort is to please his owner. As a sports partner he has great skills and innate instincts. Has an excellent sense of smell and good eyesight, but still has no hunting ambitions. It's never quarrelsome, She gets along well with other dogs, especially with his own race.

It is an independent puppy, whose characteristics make it a pleasant "partner". It is suitable for young people, for both athletes and the young at heart. And one thing is especially important for the little terrier: snuggling with its owner.

Fitness: The Japanese Terrier it's a small dog, but still needs enough activity. It is the ideal companion for active people. Likes to learn and is therefore also suitable for mind games or dog sports that are suitable for small breeds.

It is a "skirt dog" in the positive sense. But that's only if you are tired of the many races!!

With the kids:

The Japanese Terrier is very attached to his owners and enjoys a good snuggle. But, he is not a babysitter dog. As in all small dog breeds, small body size has advantages when traveling, but it becomes a disadvantage with – and I say it with affection – the clumsy hands of children. This means that when they have children, make sure children handle the dog with care. Offer the dog an area where he can retreat if he becomes too heavy for him. If this is observed, nothing stands in the way of positive cooperation.

Correct nutrition Japanese Terrier

Proper nutrition is extremely important to avoid diet-related diseases. It is important to have a balanced diet that suits your beloved. Due to its active nature, the Japanese Terrier has its own nutritional requirements. It is very agile, so you should pay attention to a sufficient power supply.

High-quality whole foods are precisely tailored to your dog's nutritional needs. This ensures a supply of all the nutrients your dog needs.. High-quality prepared foods have the advantage that no feed additives are needed.

Terriers are often susceptible to allergies based on gluten-containing grains. In this case, you must ensure that the food contains other sources of carbohydrates. Rice or potatoes are a good alternative here. Food intolerance can lead to skin rashes, inflammation and digestive problems.

It is recommended to feed your terrier several times a day in small portions.. After each feeding, a pause in digestion must be ensured. You should refrain from eating before planned sports activities.

Care Japanese Terrier

The coat of his Japanese Terrier it is extremely easy to care, since it only measures about 2 cm long. Don't lose much, but you will enjoy removing loose hairs with a silicone glove. Even dandruff can be removed and the blood circulation of the skin is stimulated.

Your terrier's hair doesn't grow too thick. So, it is recommended to wear a coat during the cold months. If you stay outdoors for a longer period of time, protect your stomach and nose with sun milk.

When caring for your terrier's teeth, you should make sure that you do not feed him any food that contains sugar. These damage teeth, which in turn can lead to serious digestive problems.

The Japanese Terrier has a highly developed musculature, but its bone structure is quite fine. So, the use of a dog harness is recommended instead of a collar. If you stay home alone for a while, chewing bones of an appropriate size can be used as a toy.

Height: Among 20 and 28 cm.
Life expectancy: 12 - 15 years

Dandie Dinmont Terrier

The Dandie Dinmont Terrier is a dog whose standard requires what other terriers consider very serious defects.

Content

History

This terrier shot was specially developed around 1600 in the Cheviot Hills and near Coquetdale to support the hunting of otters and badgers. But also predators and hares made life very difficult for this accomplished hunter..

Most of the dogs of this breed were only kept by very few families in the area and were also very rarely given to strangers.. Well-known breeder Willi Allan, for example, maintained an exceptional herd, but he refused to sell even one of his dogs despite the high offers.

Her children and grandchildren continued this tradition after her death in 1704, but occasionally they gave a dog to good friends or as a favor. The aforementioned breeder John Davidson received a partner this way and began his breeding.

It was the favorite dog of the French King Luis Felipe, who owned a pair of dandies about 1840.

The painter Gainsborough immortalized the Dandie Dinmont Terrier in his portrait of the Duke of Buccleuch.

Like breed of Scottish hunting dog, the terrier was originally used to hunt otters and badgers; with its long and flexible body it had ideal conditions for hunting in the substructure. Today the Dandie Dinmont Terrier He is considered a faithful companion and a happy companion in many life situations..

It is considered the direct ancestor of the no less independent rough haired dachshund. With the foundation of the first Club Dandie Dinmont in 1875, the characteristics of the breed were unified.

In the countries of the European continent, the Dandie Dinmont Terrier lags far behind the enthusiasm of the people of the British Isles in terms of popularity.

In its native land it can still be experienced as a determined hunting and watchdog., but a life as a companion dog is more common. This little terrier is rarely observed compared to other breeds..

The usual height of the shoulders between 20 and 28 centimeters is no longer stipulated in the FCI standard. The nomenclature is limited to a weight of eight to eleven kilograms for this little terrier.

The Dandie Dinmont Terrier is a direct descendant of the Skye Terrier. Although the breed is relatively common in Britain, this humble dog is rarely seen outside of this country.

Physical characteristics

The Dandie Dinmont Terrier is a special representative of the terrier group. Fierce, brave and tough, is a reliable tracker and a good hunting helper.

In the hunt he faces polecats, badgers and otters. Many terrier breeds have the genes of the dandies.

Walter Scott names in his novel the famous six terriers Dandie Dinmont Terrier with extraordinary names

«Auld Pepper» (= old pepper)
«Young Pepper».
«Little Pepper».
"Ancient must".
"Young mustard".
y «Little Mustard», indicating the predominant hair colors in this breed.
About his character he wrote: "They fear nothing in this world that meets a furry fur".

According to the breed standard, the shoulder height of the Dandie Dinmont Terrier Must be from 24 to 28 cm., the ideal weight under working conditions should be between 8 and 11 kg.

Some of its physical characteristics, like short curved legs, the backs tucked, round head and big eyes, probably date back to the crossing of several breeds of sniffer dogs.

The coat consists of a curly mix of hard and soft hairs, which are also quite long, of about 5 cm.. Normally the coat of the Dandie Dinmont requires relatively little cleaning, it just needs to be combed regularly and trimmed several times a year.

Character and skills

The Dandie Dinmont Terrier shows its adaptability not only in hunting. When he lives with his humans, he is affectionate and affectionate without becoming friends.

Characterized by a high stimulus threshold, what benefits you as an apartment dog. Doesn't bark for no reason, although I hear it and see it all. However, the proportion of outdoor activities in the daily routine must be large enough. Their hunting genes continue to determine the drive to work in the wild.

Obedience is not an outstanding feature of the enchanter Dandie Dinmont.
Humans with a consistent stance convince this sensitive terrier. If you understand the meaning of your actions, wants to please and behaves as told. Basically, our reserved four-legged friend can be a nice family dog.

The Dandie Dinmont has the same intelligent, alert nature that makes most terriers good family dogs. Fortunately it doesn't tend to be stubborn.

If you want to keep your Dandie Dinmont healthy and alert, it is essential that you walk him every day and that you give him a relatively low-fat diet.

The Dandie Dinmont Terrier she is agile with her short legs. Your need for exercise is roughly equivalent to your size, but long walks through the woods and fields with its owner are very welcome. The magic word is action and activity.

If it comes to mind and a rodent awakens your hunting instinct, hunting is a hobby to your liking.

Within the limits of its territory, seems at the moment remarkably reserved in his dealings with other dogs. Opinions differ as to the extent to which children are accepted by the Dandie Dinmont Terrier. In general, the child is described as fond of children.

But, even here, there is no Rose without spines, and joy for unfamiliar children may individually be much less than. The owner is always obliged to watch over his pets.

Care of "Dandie Dinmont Terrier"

Has a fluffy undercoat that grows curly, the top layer being hard.

In addition to regular brushing, we should trim their fur almost three times a year. This removes dead hair without softening the main hair and without reducing the water resistance of the double coat.

Of course, dogs participating in shows should be groomed more carefully.

Especially dense hair requires special attention to emphasize the characteristic soft and silky form of the «topknots«. It is important that the dog never looks as if it has been groomed.

The predominant coat colors are, as already indicated in Scott's novel by the special names of dogs, Pepper, that is to say, shades between blue-black to light silver gray, as well as mustard, that is to say, colors from red-brown to beige.

The quality of the care of the coat is very visible in the striking head of the Dandie Dinmont Terrier. The silky mop of hair around the large eyes is the figure that characterizes the Dandie Dinmont Terrier.

The coat as a whole is pepper or mustard. The first variant ranges from blue-black to silver gray, mustard color palette shows different shades of brown.
