History

Similar to the Hotocho (or Mongolian sheepdog), the Canadian Eskimo (or Qimmiq en inuktitut) it is a very old canine breed, perhaps one of the first to accompany man to this part of the globe, almost ago 4.000 years. Faithful companion of the Inuit people of Thule, was bred and trained to become a tough working dog, able to travel long distances at a steady pace. It also, your complexion, their excellent sense of smell and intelligence were used to locate the breathing holes of seals for hunting and to protect families from musk oxen and polar bears..

In the Decade of 1920, the Canadian Eskimo remained closely associated with the Inuit culture, With almost 20.000 Eskimos working alongside men in the northern territories. But, this golden age was not going to last. In effect, the arrival of the snowmobile in the years 60, the massive and systematic killing of Inuit dogs by the Canadian government (officially, for public health reasons – unofficially, say some, to intimidate and forcibly assimilate Inuit peoples, eliminating their main work tool and a symbol of their culture), the introduction of new breeds of sled dogs such as the Siberian Husky, as well as a certain vulnerability to the diseases that these latter bring., are literally decimating purebred Canadian Eskimo populations. In 1963, there was only one Canadian Eskimo Dog registered in the breeding book of the Canadian Kennel Club, which then declared the race extinct.

This statement proved premature. But, it did not count on the tenacity of William Carpenter, Bill Thompson, John McGrath (founders of the Research Foundation of the Canadian Eskimo Dog) and Brian Ladoon (breeder and musher, that is to say, sled driver). With government support to preserve Inuit cultural heritage, the quartet undertook an expedition to the most remote regions of the Canadian Arctic in order to find purebred Canadian Eskimos. Their efforts paid off and, thanks to the specimens unearthed in the Inuit villages, a breeding program was launched. few years later, in 1970, there was nothing less than 200 animals. Today, this figure reaches the 300 individuals around the world.

Although the United Kennel Club American recognized the Canadian Eskimo as a race in its own right in 1996, was not up 2018, year in which the breed was recognized by the International Cynological Federationand (FCI) and Central Canine Society, when the breed really came to the forefront of the canine world and the general public and enlightened fans learned not only about the qualities of this dog, but also the precariousness of its existence.

But, although some specimens have crossed the Atlantic to the United Kingdom, the spread of the breed remains for the time being essentially limited to Canada and the United States, and even there, the breeders of Canadian Eskimo Dog they are still scarce.

Physical characteristics

At first sight, it is clear why the Canadian Eskimo has helped the Inuit people for so long. Strength, power, resistance and vigor are the first adjectives that come to mind when describing this dog capable of constant effort in difficult environmental conditions.

The Canadian Eskimo is of medium build, with a strong neck and chest, but with legs of medium height. With its well defined bones and muscles, his powerful and majestic physique reflects that he is mainly a very resistant dog, not very fast. It should be noted in passing that females are slightly smaller and less muscular than males.

It is also interesting to note that the Canadian Eskimo is quickly big enough to work: although it does not reach full maturity until around the 3 years of age, it is capable of transporting loads from the 7 months. Puppies are often described as miniature adults, with the ears upright and upright on the skull and the tail coiled from the third week.

Like most of the Spitz, the head of the Canadian Eskimo is angular and elevated, with straight, thick ears. The eyes are placed at an angle and give the animal a serious attitude. The bushy tail is carried high or curled on the back.

The coat of the Canadian Eskimo It is thick, with a smooth top layer and a dense and uniform wool bottom layer, providing optimal thermal insulation for adverse weather conditions. This makes them one of the most cold-adapted dog breeds.. Males also have a long mane that covers the neck and shoulders. Females usually have the shortest upper layer, which contributes to give the impression of a finer animal.

The breed standard does not allow smooth fur. So, the Canadian Eskimo must always have a coat with a combination of colors, without the distribution of one color taking precedence over the others:

  • Completely white fur with pigmentation around the eyes, on the nose and lips (is not an albino);
  • white coat with only a very small amount of red, buff (including cinnamon shading), gray or black around the ears and eyes;
  • white coat with red markings, beige, cinnamon, gray or black around the ears and eyes, or the head completely marked with these colors, sometimes with small spots of the same color on the body, usually around the hips or on the flank;
  • Red and white, or buff and white, or cinnamon and white, or black and white, with a distribution to 50% of each of the two colors in the different parts of the body;
  • red or beige or cinnamon, with white on the chest and/or on the legs and lower part of the body;
  • Sabre body or black or dark gray, with white on the chest and/or on the legs, under the body, occasionally extended to the neck like a gola;
  • silvery grey or greyish white fur;

Brown bottom layer and black top layer.

The white mask shaded around the eyes and/or around the nose, with or without dots above the eyes, it is a common physical characteristic in dogs with a well-defined color on the head. Very rarely, the dots above the eyes, as well as the cheek marks, can be buff-colored, adding a third color to a normally bicolored dog.

Size and weight

▷ Male size: 58 to 70 cm.
▷ female size: 50 to 60 cm.
▷ Male weight: 30-40 kg
▷ female weight: 18-30 kg

Character and skills

The character of Canadian Eskimo reflects the harsh environmental conditions in which he lives and the work that dots his daily life. So, it is closer to the wild animal domesticated by the tribal peoples in a logic of labor collaboration than to a real pet overflowing with affection for its master. Intelligent, brave, but always on guard, so sometimes it may seem distant.

This does not prevent this dog from being gentle and affectionate with his family, or express a friendly curiosity towards strangers your family welcomes. But moderation remains the key word for him.. The Canadian Eskimo rarely celebrates his master, although he does not hesitate to ask for a caress as a sign of recognition. As a pack dog, is fiercely loyal to his master, whom he considers the leader of the clan, and is less distant with it. Beware who shows signs of animosity towards this leader: the Canadian Eskimo it will quickly remind you of the meaning of the word respect, with many grunts.

The herds of Canadian Eskimo have a reputation for being very organized. From time to time some fights and scratches may occur, but it is not a sign of serious struggle or rebellion against the established leader.

It also, unlike many recent dog breeds, the Canadian Eskimo has retained a very sharp hunting instinct. The slightest encouragement, either the food, the start of a game or a fight, gives rise to a quick and very enthusiastic response by this dog. In fact, this dog is more suitable for a family of adults and should never be left with children, as this could lead to unintentional injury. You can live with dogs that do not belong to your herd, but with some reservations, since he tends to regard any animal smaller than him as a prey to devour rather than as a companion with whom to live. The cats, rodents and small dogs will be tested if they have to cohabit with it.

Last, as an outdoor dog par excellence, who appreciates cold temperatures and prefers to sleep outdoors if given the opportunity, the Canadian Eskimo is not at all a breed of dog adapted to a floor. They need to spend many hours outside each day to maintain their physical and mental fitness.. Sporty and hyperactive dog, used to pulling sleds, the ideal for him is to have a master as tough as him. In other words, it is a perfect companion for those who want to practice cani-rando, cani-mountain biking, ski joering, canikart… Without physical activity up to their capabilities, becomes a destructive and/or aggressive dog.

Last, being a very intelligent dog, is the king of escapes and mischief. There is no delicate plant or reinforced fence that resists it. If you have decided to be a runaway dog, it will be very difficult to stop.

Health

The Canadian Eskimo has excellent physical dispositions that make it resistant to many of the genetic diseases that are common in dogs of similar breeds.

But, although they are a force of nature in their natural environment, are more susceptible to parasites and skin diseases that develop in warmer temperatures. Thus, it's important not to forget dog vaccine reminders, and give regular preventive treatment against ticks and fleas.

It also, like many Nordic dogs, has predisposition to the following diseases:

– Hip Dysplasia
– waterfalls
– Arthritis;
– gastric torsion;
– entropion.

Life expectancy

10 – 15 years

FCI breed standard "Canadian Eskimo Dog"

Origin:
Canada

Date of publication of the valid original standard:
28.02.2018

Use:

For centuries this breed was used as a draft animal and was able to drag between 45 and 80 kg. per dog covering distances of 15 to 70 miles per day. It was also used as a hunting dog, to locate seal breathing holes for Inuit hunters. As a hunting dog, it also attacked and kept at bay the musk ox and the polar bear for the Inuit hunters.. In summer, The dog was used as a pack dog that could carry up to 15 kg.



General appearance:

The Canadian Eskimo Dog is a dog of moderate size, powerful build, with thick neck and chest and medium length legs. Typical of the Spitz family of dogs, has a wedge-shaped head with tall thick ears. The eyes are set obliquely giving a serious appearance. The dog has a bushy tail raised or curled over its back. About the same height at the hips as at the withers, medium to large in size and muscular, the dog displays a majestic and powerful physique that gives the impression that it is not made for speed but for hard work. Above all, the body must be muscular and not fat. Females will have a smaller and less muscular body than males. In the winter, the body is covered with an outer layer of straight or erect hair; underneath is a dense low-voltage layer that allows the animal to easily withstand the rigors of high latitudes. A mane-like growth of longer hair will appear over the neck and shoulder in male specimens.. The entire conformation of the Canadian Eskimo Dog must be one of strength, power and endurance balanced with agility, vigilance and audacity. The female of the breed will usually have a shorter coat than the male and will always be significantly smaller than the male.. Like young bitches, will be more boneless, among other things, with a narrower head that tends to produce a friendlier face than with men. Both males and females of the breed are known to have a rapid growth rate reaching working size around seven months. But, the maturation process extends to at least three years of age, giving them a very majestic look. The cubs have often been described as miniature adults, with erect ears and a curly tail at young ages between three and five weeks. There may be occasional periods during the adolescent growth stages when the ears may not be fully erect., but it is important to note that the Canadian Eskimo Dog's ears do not have the same gradual growth of erectness around four months of age., as seen in some other breeds.

important proportions:

The width of the forehead between the ears of males shall be 5 to 6 inches (13 to 15 cm.). In females, the distance will be 4-1 / 2 – 5-1 / 2 inches (11-14 cm.).



Behavior / temperament:

The temperament of the Canadian Eskimo Dog should reflect the tough, hardworking breed that it is. It should not be viewed as a domestic pet, but as a primitive dog originally domesticated by the Inuit for specific tasks in a harsh arctic environment. In general, mature canadian eskimo dog is kind and affectionate to the average guy, enjoying the attention. Even with strangers, dogs are rarely distant. Usually, exhibit fairly calm friendship and harmless curiosity or become completely distant. The dog is very pack oriented and, if raised as a group, dominant and subordinate roles will be played under the leadership of a fully dominant or boss dog. Behavior within a group or herd is generally well structured and controlled, but it is not uncommon to see battle scars or torn ears on dogs that originate from breeding areas where dogs are raised in groups or packs.. Compared to modern domestic breeds, The Canadian Eskimo Dog has an almost excessive response to any stimulus, either food, work, defense or game. For this reason, the dog should be a companion for adults and should not be considered a child's pet.

Eurasier

The Eurasian is self-confident, quiet, tolerant, adaptable, willing to learn and smart.

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 Fédération 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 ​​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 “fetch for sticks” 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.

    English Water Spaniel
    Inglaterra Extinct

    Content

    History

    English Water Spaniel (Water Dog) It is a breed of dog that has been extinct since the first part of the 20th century, was last seen in the s 1930. Is of English origin.

    He was very famous for his skill in hunting waterfowl and being able to dive like a duck. It was described as similar to a Collie or a cross between a Poodle and Curly-coated Springer Spaniel and was usually white with liver or brown markings.

    The English Water Spaniel is prior to Irish Water Spaniel (Whiptail). Historians of the race, They claim that they have been mentioned by Shakespeare in his work "Macbeth”, and they believe that they have influenced genetically in several modern dog breeds, including therein to the American Water Spaniel, the Curly-coated Retriever and the Field Spaniel, Although it is unknown if the race was involved in the creation of Irish Water Spaniel.

    In 1570, the Dr. John Caius wrote a description of the English Water Spaniel. But the race is officially mentioned by name in 1802, in the "Sportsman’s Cabinet” (organization that nuclear all hunting sports), where they describe the English Water Spaniel like a dog "natural hair is long and curly, and compact, not loose and messy”, the description was accompanied by an engraving in which a English Hair Spaniel white with liver spots. This shows that the English Water Spaniel is prior to Irish Water Spaniel, not developed as a breed recognized until the Decade of 1830.

    During the first half of the 18th century, the English Water Spaniel It was used for hunting ducks in East Anglia.

    The Kennel Clubinitially– had a specific classification in which all the "Non-Irish water dogs”. That standard was created specifically for the English Water Spaniel by Hugh Dalziel in one of his books dedicated to the races of water dogs.

    In an article of his published in the year 1897, Hugh Dalziel, ensured that, I didn't think the breed was extinct, on the other hand, He assured that there were still many specimens of the breed distributed throughout the country, and keeping alive the race passed through motivate breeders from the most important clubs and canine committees, in the perpetuation and improvement of the breed. But later, Dalziel, regretted the fact that while the Irish Water Spaniel became famous, the English Water Spaniel was absorbed by other breeds of spaniel, under the eye of the most important clubs and canine committees, until you reach the extinction…

    In 1967, the author John Fawcett Gordon (and politician from Northern Ireland) He said: “After two centuries of breeding the English Water Spaniel has become extinct. No specimen has been seen again in the last thirty years”.

    At least, It is believed that the English Water Spaniel has left its legacy in descendant races...

    Some authors include within these races the American Water Spaniel which was also developed using additional genetic material from the Irish Water Spaniel and of the Flat-coated Retriever. The Curly-coated Retriever is considered to have descended from Poodle, of the Setter, of the extinct St. John’s Water Dog and of the English Water Spaniel.

    The records for the origin of the modern breed Field Spaniel are more precise and show that one of the four parent dogs used in the creation of the breed was a English Water Spaniel crossed with a Cocker Spaniel officially registered as a Sussex Spaniel, due to its liver-colored spots. ¿Es lioso?, truth?

    Physical characteristics

    The English Water Spaniel looked more like a curly-haired version of the Springer Spaniel, with some features of the Collie, Pudelhund, and Setter.

    With white hair and liver-colored spots (brown), they measured about 51 cm in height to the cross. They were thin, long-legged characteristic of some Spaniel, with the tail and long ears, White under belly and Brown dorsum. With a head long and narrow small and those long ears covered with thick and very defined curls. The body was moderately thick, barrel-shaped, but not as much as the Field Spaniel.

    Due to the colors of the English Water Spaniel (liver or brown and white), it has been suggested that breed may have been the source of the colors that modern breeds have English Springer Spaniel and Welsh Springer Spaniel.
