Lucerne Hound

The Lucerne Hound is a lively dog, but gentle and docile. Very attached to his master.

Content

History

The breed was originally bred in the Lucerne area, Switzerland. Already in appearance it is closely related to the dog Bloodhound. It can be assumed that the Small Blue Gascony may also have played a role in the development of the breed: Striking colored coat with speckled pattern suggests this. It is one of the four Swiss Hounds, that have been combined by the FCI under a single breed standard, but they are judged separately in the exhibitions. The other varieties of the breed are:

Physical characteristics

Height at the withers up to 59 cm..
The ears are far back, very large, heavy, bent and turned.
Fur: Short, thick and thick, Fox fur
color: blue, of a combination of black and white hairs, very mottled, with black spots or a black chair.

Character and skills

The Lucerne Hound is a lively dog, but gentle and docile. Very attached to his master.

Like all dogs Swiss hounds, this breed is also relatively small. This is partly due to the fact that environmental conditions in the mountains, where were these dogs born, they are extremely hard, so animals with low energy requirements survived better than larger dogs. The Lucerne Hound used for a wide variety of hunting, from wild boars to deer and hares. Although the dense fur protects the dog from the cold and he likes to live outdoors, look for comfort; therefore he feels comfortable in the city, but needs a lot of activity and enough exercise. There is an almost identical breed with shorter legs – the Small Lucerne Hound, one of the varieties of Small swiss hound. It is suitable as a working dog, hunting and company.

The Spanish Hound It is described in the "Book of Montería" of King Alfonso XI (1312-1350).

Content

HISTORY «SPANISH HOUSE»

Already in the fourteenth century, a dog of this breed was described by King Alfonso XI. But also other documents from this time referred to its existence.

Due to the increasing isolation in the Iberian Peninsula, the breed was kept completely pure and there were no crosses with other dog breeds.

Almost with all likelihood we are faced with a race descended from «Canis segusius«, tracking dog used by Celtic peoples settled in central France.

The first description of peninsular hounds appears in the “Book of the Montería of Alfonso XI”, King of Castile, written during the second half of the s. XIV, that in his chapter 39 talk about "which doneness should be the hounds and the sabuesas”.

Over the years the Spanish Hound went repeatedly hunting small game, like hares, rabbits or foxes. He often hunted together with other dogs in the pack.

It also, was used to recover the shooting game. But also in the police force he soon had a very important task.

Full of enthusiasm for action, this spunky breed of dog proved to be a tracking dog, that already chased many trails. Due to his enormous eagerness to work and his resistance, was able to help clear up all the cases and make his teachers proud.

Still used for those tasks, preferably in your home country, Spain.

Physical characteristics "Spanish hound"

The coat of the Spanish Hound often a bit reminiscent of a cow. Often has a white background on which there are various dots and patterns.

These can be black, White, red or also multicolored. Most of the back is affected by color patterns, occasionally also the sides.

Its pelage is short, thin but nevertheless dense. Doesn't have much underlayer, making it suitable for allergy sufferers.

The Spanish Hound It belongs to the category of "medium -sized dogs". Males reach a shoulder height of up to 57 cm., the females up 53 cm.. The average weight is between 20 and 25 kg, females tend to be somewhat lighter.

Character and skills "Spanish hound"

The Spanish Hound he is a fearless hunter, eager and reliable, that nothing is lost so fast. Has an enormous need to move, who has to live regularly.

It is a minor hunting dog, which is also used for wild boar hunting, roe deer, the deer, the wolf or the bear, because in addition to being very skilled in the search, I have a determination out of the ordinary. He is also gifted with the trail of blood. Excels in hare hunting, in which he transmits to the hunter the development of the search with his voice modulations.

As a member of the family it is not very suitable, because the rhythm of life in a big city is not made for this active breed of dog. Under no circumstances do you want to be alone for hours every day.. Daily walks are mandatory with him.

He is friendly and loyal to his human being and at home he is quite calm. And you need this calm even if you have been in nature for many hours.

How do you want to find peace and quiet within the four walls of a home?, does not get along with young children. The over-excitement of children does not come at all well. But if your freedom is granted, he soon becomes a loving friend to them too. But there are certain limits!

Suspicion of strangers, so it is also a good watchdog.

The Spanish Hound is very independent and despite unconditional loyalty to his humans, always has a mind of its own.

This is why it is so important that you get the right education from the start. This must be done consistently, but nevertheless with love and patience.

Maintenance and care of the "Spanish hound"

In a narrow city apartment, that possibly on a 5th floor, a Spanish Hound has as much to look for as an elephant in a china shop. I could possibly come here in the long run to a similar result. If our Scent hound you don't have your usual workload, it may be that he destroys the furniture for lack of challenge.

A house with a large garden is an absolute must for this energetic hunter.. At the same time this aspect also relieves the owners, if our dog can let off steam regularly in the garden. Then he is already more relaxed and calm when he goes out for a walk, although he still has a lot of energy. Long walks are absolutely necessary for him.

Care:

His short coat does not require much care and his health is generally very good.

However, there must be a competent veterinarian who regularly deals with tick treatments, deworming, caring for teeth and claws, your anal glands and also from routine blood tests.

Characteristics "Spanish Hound"

Coexistence is important that you have with your new friend. Before considering the acquisition of a dog of the breed "Spanish Hound" you know certain factors. Not all breeds of dogs are apt to live in an apartment, you must take into account his character, their need for exercise, their interaction with other pets, their care and if you have small children, their level of tolerance towards them.
