History

The exact origin of the Peruvian Hairless Dog. But, their ancestors seem to be deeply rooted in Peru: Illustrations on the vessels of Moche culture, show hairless dogs already in the 750 AC. Later, these funny animals were reserved for the rich Incas, who took care not to mate them with other native dogs. It was also the Incas who prohibited the consumption of dog meat in the northern regions of Peru..

When the Spanish conquered the country, they found many naked dogs among the orchids of the Incas, so the Europeans called them ยซperros de las floresยซ. During the period of conquest, the breed was almost extinct, but some specimens survived in remote villages where the inhabitants valued them for the partly mythical qualities attributed to them: Because of its special appearance, four-legged creatures were said to have a healing effect on certain diseases, for example, bone and joint diseases.

In 1985, the world's largest dog breeding organization, the Federation Cynologique Internationale (FCI), recognized the Peruvian Hairless Dog as an independent race. So Today There Are Officially Three Naked Dog Breeds. Besides of Peruvian Hairless Dog, these are the Mexican Naked Dog, also known by the beautiful name of ยซXoloitzcuintleยซ, and the Chinese Crested Dog. The three races are closely related to each other.

Physical characteristics

The name says it all: The most striking of the most Peruvian Hairless Dogs that's what's missing: the coat. But, the standard allows for some locks on the head and tail even in naked dogs without hair. Skin can be light or dark in different shades of color, smooth or white-spotted. But, not all naked dogs are naked, because there's a variant with hair: the so-called "hairy", which are essential for breeding for health reasons. About a third of naked dogs belong to this group.

Since 2013 hairy variants can also be seen in canine exhibitions, since they have been added to the standard. Your hair should be short and soft, all colors are allowed. The Peruvian Hairless Dog reminiscent of greyhounds in their physique. This slender breed of dog has large erect ears that can rest back, an elegantly curved and hanging tail and an athletic complexion.

Naked dog lovers can enjoy three size variations:

– The small version has a shoulder height of 25 to 40 cm..
– The median 40 to 50 cm..
– The Greats Peruvian Hairless Dogs have between 50 and 65 height cm.

The weight varies according to 4 to 25 kg. Only a few Peruvian Hairless Dogs have a full denture, but these usually include all representatives of the furry variant.

Character and skills

The Peruvian Hairless Dog is a friendly and adaptable companion. He prefers to be with his human with the one who has a close relationship. It belongs to very sociable dogs. He likes to integrate into a family and quickly befriends other pets and children. It is said that many Peruvian Hairless Dogs protect fervently, especially the women and children of the herd. Here it is important to be careful when visiting children that the Peruvian interprets offensive situations for his protรฉgรฉ and rushes to help his little two-legged friend unnecessarily..

Vivacious and curious, is a wonderful companion for outdoor activities, but behaves calmly and relaxed inside. He especially likes to get comfortable on his owner's lap and enjoys closeness and warmth.. To strangers he is often distant and alert, but not aggressive.

Education

Like a dog of the original type, the Peruvian Hairless Dog it also provides original behavior in the man-animal relationship. That's why it makes sense in educational matters if you already have any experience with dogs. But, even ambitious beginners can successfully train a Peruvian Hairless Dog. Clear rules and consistency are, as in most dogs, the key to success.

The Peruvian Hairless Dog is a sensitive four-legged friend – hard you'll only get the opposite with it – will retire. Some Peruvian Hairless Dogs tend to get scared or fear new situations. So, it is especially important to train this dog extensively and at the right pace to different situations without overloading it.

Your breeder will be able to give you some advice when you buy a puppy. Whether on a train journey, on a trip to the city center or on a visit home, introduce your partner into these everyday situations since you're a puppy. Regular training at a canine school, preferably already with the young puppy in the form of playgroups for puppies, is highly recommended and also reinforces the social side of the Peruvian Hairless Dog.

Breeding of the โ€œPeruvian Hairless Dogโ€

As already mentioned, during mating a special health feature should be taken into account: during breeding, the furry ones, that is to say, hairy representatives of the breed, should be crossed regularly. The reason for this is that the dominant allele of hairlessness can only lead to viable embryos in combination with a hair allele, that is to say, Heterozygosity. Homozygous hairless embryos are already reabsorbed in the uterus. As pure breeding for hairlessness is therefore not possible, hairless naked dogs also occur over and over again.

The Peruvian Hairless Dogs they usually have an incomplete denture, what doesn't usually restrict them. With the light-skinned specimens, especially at the beginning of summer, it's important to make sure they get used slowly in the sunlight, then tanning. Sun protection also makes sense, because otherwise dogs can develop severe sunburn, especially when they like to go to sunny places. Also in winter some specimens need protection from the weather in the form of a dog coat., because if they can't run, cool down quickly during normal ride. Smaller variants of the breed are more sensitive to this than larger ones.

One Peruvian Hairless Dog can reach an age of up to 15 years.

Care

With the naked representatives of the breed you can leave the comb with confidence. It also, has the great advantage that it can normally detect parasites in the skin of the Peruvian Hairless Dog immediately and apply appropriate antidotes – from tick tweezers to flea repellent. But, even the Peruvian Hairless Dog needs regular care. If required – some owners recommend once a week – wash it with a sponge and a mild dog shampoo. Some Peruvian Hairless Dogs tend to have dry skin, which can be remedied with soft moisturizers for fragrance-free babies or with olive or coconut oil. In summer, sunscreen is an indispensable tool for light-colored dogs. Cut the claws of your Peruvian Hairless Dog if they get too long and clean your four-legged friend's ears with a dog ear cleaner if necessary.

Buy a โ€œPeruvian Hairless Dogโ€

The Peruvian Hairless Dog are rare in Europe and therefore breeders are rare. Find the appropriate umbrella organizations in your country, that can help you in your search. In Germany, for example, el Club for Exotic Breed Dogs e.V. has a list of breeders, In Switzerland there is a "Swiss Naked Dog Club of Latin America", which is dedicated to the promotion of the two breeds of dogs: the Xoloitzcuintle and the Peruvian Hairless Dog. In these clubs and similar ones you can find information and contacts of ambitious breeders. Considering possible adoptions across national borders, consider what to consider when adopting puppies from abroad.

As a fan of naked dogs, you probably know the closely related races, the Xoloitzcuintle and the Chinese Crested Dog – perhaps one of these dogs could also be an option for you and is more likely to be found in your region. It also, openness to the other two races, as well as the crossings, it's usually a good idea if you want to give a home to a naked older dog. This usually requires some research. But in the meantime, Keywords like โ€œnaked dogs in distressโ€ on the Internet promise successes that lead adult naked dogs to look for a new place to live. Try to find out as much as possible about the story of your potential new fourth-legged partner.

History

In the Decade of 1960, Julius Wipfel raised females of Keeshond (Wolfspitz) and males of Chow-Chow en Weinheim, Baden-Wuerttemberg, initially the Wolf-Chow. He finally raised this dog with him Samoyed and obtained an original dog with a natural structure and a balanced character.

In 1973 the breed was recognized by the Fรฉdรฉration Cynologique Internationale (FCI) and it is, therefore, the youngest German dog breed. The youngest breed, officially recognized German breed owes its name to its original European breeds (Keeshond = EUR) and asian (Chow-Chow and Samoyed = ASIER). The task of the robust companion and family dog โ€‹โ€‹with character was not even hunting, nor grazing, nor on guard. The Eurasian was bred solely as a social partner for humans.

Physical characteristics

The Eurasian is balanced, well built, medium-sized, with erect ears. It can be of different colours: beige, reddish brown, the Grey Wolf, black. A characteristic feature is the pattern of the coat of agoutis and the patterns of bands and stripes, that for example wolves also have.
The male has a height of 52 to 60 the cross and weighs cm, approximately, of 23 to 32 kg. The female has a height of 48 to 56 cm to cross and weighs between 18 to 26 kg.
Typical of the coat of the Eurasian is his dense undercoat, which is an excellent protection against the cold and also repels dirt. Just the muzzle, the face, the ears and the front of the legs are short-haired. The tail, the back of the front legs and the back legs have long hairs.

By the way, the Eurasian get their tongues partially and sometimes even completely blue from the Chow-Chow, whose blue tongue merged with the pink tongue of the Keeshond and Samoyed.

Character and skills

The Eurasian is self-confident, quiet, tolerant, adaptable, willing to learn and smart. Above all, animals are very close to their family members, which does not make them a one man dog.

The Eurasian they need constant and close contact with their humans and are therefore completely unsuitable for housing in kennels. In an animal shelter, these sensitive dogs would suffer extraordinarily and eventually wither away. How the Eurasiers are so focused on their family, should not be left in the hands of other people, even when they are on vacation. Wants to be with his family, always and everywhere.

These sensitive animals have a special feeling for the mood and disposition of their humans, and have a distinctive social behavior towards others Eurasian. It also, dogs of this breed are elegant, self-confident and at the same time pleasantly stubborn. They can even trick their owners into getting their way.

Activities with the Eurasian

Although the Eurasian does not have pronounced hunting behavior, a certain prey drive may be present, as in most dogs. But, with a loving consistency, understanding, patience and treats, the Eurasian can be trained to become trouble-free and appreciative companions, that adapt to all situations in life. But, training in an outer hand is out of the question for a Eurasian. If you demand absolute obedience to a dog, you must choose another race.

The Eurasian they need about two hours of exercise a day. Your urge to move can be ideally satisfied by jogging, cycling the agility. Monotonous retrieval games like โ€œfetch for sticksโ€ quickly bore this intelligent animal..

Eurasian care

Despite the dense undercoat, the care of the coat of the Eurasian it is not complicated and is limited to brushing once a week only during the change of coat, must be combed daily. The Eurasier's tongue varies from pink to an infinite number of varieties from pied blue to pure blue.. The inheritance of Chow-Chow fascinates many passers-by and often leads to confusion with the Chinese race. A Eurasier is an incorruptible friend for life.

Buying a Eurasian from a breeder

If you want to buy a puppy of Eurasian, you will need to be prepared for waiting periods, because there are only some 300 or 400 puppies per year under the umbrella organization of the VDH (German Canine Federation. Cubs Eurasian cost around 1000 EUR.

History

The Ca Eivissenco or โ€œPodenco Ibicencoโ€, It is a breed canine Spanish Ibiza (Spain). It gets its name from the island Ibiza, belonging to the Group of islands in the Balearic Islands, bathed by the Mediterranean.

This dog, has a highly developed sense of sight and hearing, that is why he has been assigned to hunting, especially in the rabbit, both day and night.

It is a type of primitive and rustic dog, considered one of the oldest breeds that exist and can be seen the tombs of the Pharaohs and museums whose first signs can be traced back to the 3.400 A.C.

The Ibizan Hound is one of the medium sized Greyhound, very similar to Pharaoh Hound. Without a doubt a descendant of the old Egypt dogs, that's what the written theories about race say..

The origin of this breed is Spain, comes from the island of Ibiza. The city of Ibiza was founded in the 654 A.C. by the Carthaginians and it is a conjecture establishes the possibility that the first settlers took with them their dogs of Egyptian origin for simple company and to hunt the rabbits that were abundant on the island.

But various genetic studies carried out in recent years have come to the conclusion that contrary to the widespread belief that the podenco is a type of primitive dog imported a few years ago 3.000 the area of middle years, These dogs actually have a close genetic relationship with the rest of the European hunting dogs and are no more "primitive" than most of them... The researcher Antoni Pedro Marรญ, details different aspects of the morphology, ethology and ecology of Ca Eivissenc in his work Native Races of the Pitiรผses.

Did you know??

The resemblance of the Ibizan with representations of the Egyptian god Anubis dog is one of the reasons why it is often thought to be an ancient race.

The Ibizan Hound has a long, narrow head, sharp cone-shaped; the skull is long and narrow with a little pronounced Stop. The ears must be straight, towards front and very mobile; oblique eyes, small and always amber clear.

The nose is flesh-colored and usually be taken into account to determine the purity of the breed. The color will always be blanco-marron, Blanco-leonado or unicolor, although this last possibility is more rare to find them. The weight varies between the 18 and 24 Kg, Depending on whether it's a male or a female, as well as if he is too well or poorly fed. With regard to the height of the dog there are also many disputes since fashion has at times imposed more slender and tall dogs that the found in the Pitiusas Islands.

The current standard is one height of between 66 and 72 cm., It is very far from reality and the first official standard. The dogs that are bred in Ibiza and Formentera are shorter than the maximum height allowed.

    History

    Among the three moose hunters of the North (Black Norwegian Elkhound, Gray Norwegian Elkhound and Jรคmthund), the Black Norwegian is probably the one receiving the least attention. But the agile and friendly hunter is an attractive breed to many dog รขโ‚ฌโ€นรขโ‚ฌโ€นowners..

    Its origins go back far back along with those of the Gray Norwegian Elkhound: These self-assured four-legged friends of the Spitz type belong to the time-honoured breeds, because a similar dog look can be tried up to the stone age in Scandinavia.

    The Black Norwegian Elkhound is a modern variant of Gray Norwegian Elkhound and has been officially recognized as an independent breed since 1877.

    The Black Norwegian Elkhound it can be a wonderful companion for children. This original hunter can live normally with cats, sometimes even in a friendly way, if you have already gotten used to them as a puppy.

    Where can I find my desired ยซBlack Norwegian Elk Hunter?ยป

It is very unlikely that you will find a four-legged dog of this type in the animal protection organizations of your country.; However, a visit there may be helpful if you are open to other breeds.

    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.

    History

    National dog of Norway

    History

    The Norrbottenspets (North Bothnian Country Spitz) probably originates from the small spitz-type Laika that was known to live with hunters in the North Cape area, already in prehistoric times. Small hunting spitz have survived for thousands of years through natural selection โ€“ survival of the fittest. In the very harsh and difficult areas of the northern part of the Scandinavian Peninsula, hunting for food and skins was a necessity in order to survive. Precious skins like saber, sable fur and ermine were the only valid currency for centuries. When fur prices fell drastically after WWII, so did the interest in the Norrbottenspets.

    The breed disappeared and there were no records for many years, hence the Kennel Club of Sweden (SKK) declared it extinct. But only a decade later news came that true-type specimens had been found living as pets and watchdogs in small homes inland in North Bothnia.. Due to the very dedicated work of a few men, this ancient hunting spitz was saved.
    In 1967 the Norrbottenspets was introduced to the Registries and a new standard was drawn up.
