History

The appearance of this short-legged dog suggests a very ancient breed. The Alpine Dachsbracke it is one of the oldest breeds of hunting dogs in Central Europe. It was already mentioned in the seventeenth century and represented in paintings.

In the last quarter of the nineteenth century, Crown Prince Rudolf von Habsburg had this type of hunting dog run by his professional hunters.. The dog's appearance was unbalanced for a long time. Each canton raised its Alpine Dachsbracke differently.

But it is not a cross between a Sausage dog and Bracco, as the German name suggests ยซAlpenlรคndische Dachsbrackeยซ, but an independent race. Visually, the Alpine Dachsbracke gets closer to the Dachshund, but it's much bigger and stronger.

In the 19th century, there were numerous subspecies of Alpine Dachsbracke in the swiss alps, Bavarians and Austrians, that still differed greatly in appearance.

At the end of the 19th century, many breeders of this breed of dog were in the Erzgebirge, so the race kept calling Alpenlรคndische Erzgebirgler Dachsbracke until 1975. Another name is the Dachsbracke Austrian.

This is because the current Club Dachsbracken is located in Austria. The goal of breeding, both then and now, is to maintain the health and performance of this ancient breed of dog.

In order to establish a constant shape, a uniform appearance and appropriate breed characteristics, the first International Club of Dachsbracken was founded in Munich in 1896.

In 1908 the club disbanded again. In 1910 the Austrian Dachsbracke Club was founded, which is still engaged in the breeding of the Alpine Dachsbracke.

In 1932, the Alpine Dachsbracke was officially recognized by the Austrian Kennel Club (with him "Bavarian Mountain Hound" and the "Hanoverian Scenthoundยซ) like the third breed of hound.

In 1975 the Alpine Dachsbracke received recognition from the FCI, which finally classified the breed among the hounds in 1991.

A race is quite unknown outside Austria.

Physical characteristics

The Alpine Dachsbracke is a dog's size medium. Has relatively short legs, a strong constitution, firm muscles and strong bones.

The height to the cross is of 34 to 42 centimeters. Height at withers is measured from the ground to the shoulder in a loose dog. For males, the ideal size is between 37 and 38 centimeters of shoulder height; for females, are considered ideal 36 to 37 centimeters.

Great importance is attached to an optimal ratio of proportions. The relationship between the height of the shoulders and the torso is 2 : 3, the relationship between the face and the skull is 9 : 10.

The head is held proudly erect with a slight forward tilt. High-set dangling ears are straight-haired and fall loosely to the sides. They are wide, no wrinkles and medium length (approximately reaching the canines) and rounded at the bottom.

The nose, the eyelids and lips are black. The eyes are deep brown and slightly almond shaped. The Alpine Dachshund has the typical "dachshund look". The tail is placed high at the root, but it is slightly lowered.

In proportion to the strong body, legs are relatively short. The body is well muscled and with strong bones, with a pronounced rib cage but with a small waist.

The coat of the Alpine Dachsbracke it's dense and short, only the lower part of the tail is slightly longer. The slightly dull coat consists of a firm stick coat with a dense undercoat.

Allows good water repellency and a perfect air balance in summer and a high heat effect in winter. A dark deer red, often with a slight tinge, is the most common coat color.

There is also a black coloration with a tan tan outlined on the head). Small white marks are allowed on the chest. On the paws, ears and tail coat coloration may be darker.

Character and skills

    History

    The Small Blue Gascony is a short legged version of the Great Gascony Blue, his ancestor. But, although the history of the latter extends deep into the history of all of Europe and even the United States, its history has remained closely linked to its country of origin, France.

    Its appearance dates back to the end of the Middle Ages, and more precisely to the sixteenth century. The development of the breed is not the result of crossing the Great Gascony Blue with smaller dogs, but simply from a true selective breeding program that consists of selecting and breeding the smallest individuals, generation after generation. Although they were very efficient in hunting wild boar and large game in packs, the Great Blue was nevertheless a heavy hound, and was not entirely satisfactory in tracking small game in the high forests.

    The Small Blue Gascony was therefore developed for the specific purpose of hunting rabbits, hares and other small game animals. Faster than its predecessor, inherited its tracking and exploration skills from its predecessor. Its use spread in France beyond its region of origin, Gascuรฑa (in the southwest of the country). Unlike many dog โ€‹โ€‹breeds that were decimated during these periods, did not suffer much with the French Revolution and the two World Wars. Thanks to his skill in hunting rabbits, has been able to get through these clashes in French history without too many losses, and remain present in relatively constant numbers despite events.

    But, despite this resistance and its renowned performance in hunting small game, very little was exported, unlike his older brother, that set foot in the United States as early as the 18th century. This is mainly due to the fact that Small Blue, raised in herds, it was much less profitable to hunt than the Great Blue, that it was able to attack larger prey and thus provide more food. But, in France, despite this disadvantage, became progressively more popular than with hunters and families.

    However, gained visibility on the international scene in 1963, cuando the International Cynological Federation (FCI) officially recognized the breed. El American United Kennel Club (UKC) did the same in 1991. But, he still has a long way to go in this respect, as they have not been emulated by many other major organizations. These may include, so far, nor the other great American organization, the American Kennel Club (AKC), nor his neighbor the Canadian Kennel Club (CCC), nor the prestigious British Kennel Club, they have taken the step.

    In fact, the Small Blue Gascony is still today mainly present in its country of origin. It has even become more and more popular there in recent decades.. This was particularly surprising in the 1990s. 1980, when it happened 50 annual entries in the Livre des Origines Franรงais (LOF) in the early years of the decade to more than 200 at the end, that is to say, quadrupled. The trend increased in the early 1990s 1990, and the number stabilized at around 450 per year from 1993. There is a new rise at the dawn of the 21st century, when the 550 registrations per year. From 2006 there is a steep decline, so that by the end of 2010 there are only a few 350 births per year. But, this is still more than four times the number that its predecessor, the Great Gascony Blue, can boast.

    Westphalian Dachsbracke

    The Westphalian Dachsbracke It is mainly a hunting dog that maintains an active temperament and a great need for exercise.

    Content

    History

    The Westphalian Badger Dog was developed in the 17th century in Germany, in the region between the Rhine and the Weser. The result of the cross between the German Hound and various types of Dachsbrack, was created to satisfy the need for a fast dog, small and short, able to cut through bushes and chase prey into burrows. They were the favorite companions of the Germanic nobles, who were so appreciated for their ability to hunt hares, rabbits and foxes as per their friendly disposition.

    It is mentioned in the official description of the German Hound in the decade of 1880, and a first standard was established in 1910. But, the breed was not recognized by the German Kennel Club until 1935, and then by the FCI in 1954.

    The Westphalian Dachsbracke It, However, rare outside Germany. It also, among the main canine organizations in the Anglo-Saxon world, only the UKC recognizes this breed, and only from 2006.

    Physical characteristics

    The Westphalian Dachsbracke It is a small hound that measures between 30 and 38 cm at the withers and weighing about 15 kg. It seems to the German Hound, which is even considered a miniature version.

    His coat is tricolor, combining black, red and white. White markings are found on the neck, the chest, the snout, paws and tail tip. Bi-color is not accepted. The coat is rough and very tight, medium length in the back, neck and back of the tail, but short in the rest of the body.

    With a slightly elongated skull and a slightly accentuated stop, his head clearly evokes his kinship with the other double basses. His eyes are dark, while his ears, big and long, are flat against the head.

    The tail, strong and tall at the base, is in perfect extension of the line of the back. It is carried out with a saber blade or hanging.

    Character and skills

    The Westphalian Dachsbracke he's a smart working dog, stubborn and tenacious who can follow the trail of prey over great distances without hesitation.

    They are primarily hunting dogs that maintain an active temperament and a great need for exercise. This need must be met each day to prevent the dog's destructive behavior.. Live in an apartment, although it is not recommended, it is possible as long as the dog can take long walks at least twice a day. During these walks, it is strongly recommended to keep it on a leash, in case you smell prey that takes you off the beaten track. But, ideally it would have access to a garden.

    In the home, although he is not the most docile of dogs, the Westphalian Dachsbracke shows a lot of attachment and affection for his master, family loyalty, and gets along very well with children. All these are qualities that make it a very pleasant companion dog.. But, requires a lot of interaction and availability, as he needs constant company and cannot be left alone for a whole day. Playtime and obedience or agility training can keep you busy, but nothing will make you happier than a hunting trip.

    Finally, the Westphalian Dachsbracke tolerate other pets as long as they are exposed to your presence from a young age. Otherwise, his hunting instincts take over, and is capable of chasing and hurting them.

    Education

    Due to its firm character, the Westphalian Dachsbracke can be tough and stubborn in his upbringing. Some commands will take longer to assimilate than with other dog breeds. So, the master must act as the leader of the pack to be heard and obeyed, and under no circumstances allow him to take over the family hierarchy. So, It is clearly important not to be fooled by the small size of this dog and turn it into a "princess", at the risk of experiencing real cohabitation problems in the near future.

    At the end, the Westphalian Dachsbracke must be trained early and firmly, while promoting the principles of positive dog training.

    Health

    The Westphalian Dachsbracke he is a robust dog, healthy and with a good life expectancy. But, their kinship to the Basset family explains why they are prone to back problems, ranging from muscle tension to degenerative disc disease.

    It also, you have to be careful with his long and floppy ears, as they are sensitive to ear infections. In case of infection, the dog tends to shake its head and scratch its ear. Other signs are a bad smell and the development of redness around the ear canal.. An ear infection requires a visit to the vet and is treated with prescription medications..

    Last, like any working dog, a Westphalian Dachsbracke that participates in hunting is more likely to be injured than a companion dog that is kept at home. But, in the heat of the moment, the dog tends to ignore pain, so it is often only after the owner notices lacerations or bites, for example.

    Grooming

    One to two weekly brushings are recommended to maintain the very tight and rough-textured coat of the Westphalian Dachsbracke. These dogs should rarely be bathed, since they deprive the coat of its natural oils.

    The ears should also be visually inspected at least once a week and they should be dried after soaking in water to limit the risk of infection..

    Last, the dog's teeth should be brushed regularly to reduce the risk of periodontal diseases and infections, that one day may require dental extractions.

    Characteristics "Westphalian Dachsbracke"

    Coexistence is important that you have with your new friend. Before considering the acquisition of a dog of the breed "Westphalian Dachsbracke" you know certain factors.
