History
The Hygen Hound originated in Norway in the 19th century. It owes its name to its creator Hans Fredrik Hygen, that he wanted a brave and robust dog that could hunt even in the harsh climates of the north. So he decided to cross Swiss and German dogs with local dogs. The Hygen Hound has had a rocky history as the breed all but disappeared in the 1990s 1970 without the intervention of a few passionate breeders. In the Decade of 2000, these breeders made genetic improvements by crossing with the Finnish Hound. Today, the Hygen Hound it is quite rare even in his homeland.

The French White and Orange Hound is a competent olfactory hound of French origin. It was specifically developed for hunting in large packs and today this breed is acquired exclusively for hunting.. Despite her fabulous work skills, it can be found very rarely not only in European countries but also in its native France.
History French White and Orange Hound
The French White and Orange Hound is one of the three ยซFrench Scent houndsยซ, along with the French Tricolour Hound and the French White and Black Hound. All these dogs are olfactory dogs that hunt in large herds and listen to a hunter to orient themselves.
It's a race of recent creation; among its ancestors is undoubtedly the Billy, but we don't know exactly which dogs were used in their selection. Of the three French Hounds, the French White and Orange Hound is one of the rarest.
Physical Characteristics Orange and White French Hound
The French White and Orange Hound is a distinguished French dog that gives a rustic impression. His eyes are big, brown and dark. Located slightly below the eye line, your ears are flexible, fine, slightly screwed and reach the tip of the nose. Your walks are easy, adopts a light and sustained gallop.
Her hair is short and thin, lemon white or white-orange, as long as the orange isn't too dark, tending to red.
SIZE:
Height to the cross: 62 to 70 cm.. With 2 cm tolerance for maximum size.
Weight: Some 30 Kg.
Character and skills French White and Orange Hound
The only function of French White and Orange Hound is hunting, so it is difficult to make a generalization about their behavior patterns and temperament in a domestic environment. But, it is not necessary to suggest that a socialized specimen can become an educated and well-rounded family pet. Like most scent hounds, he is gentle with children and likes to be a part of their exciting activities.. This dog is probably too energetic and playful to be a suitable companion for a child..
The French White and Orange Hound tends to become somewhat distant and reserved in the presence of strangers. However, he will never show open aggression unless he suspects that something or someone threatens his family. Some of these dogs are vigilant enough to perform surveillance duties. This sociable and caring breed will make a terrible guardian, that he would rather greet an intruder by wagging his tail than resorting to necessary actions.
Canine aggressiveness is considered a major defect in the temperament of hounds, that were developed for herd hunting. For this reason, members with the slightest hint of this undesirable characteristic are immediately excluded from the breeding program. The French White and Orange Hound is known for its exceptional tolerance towards other canines. Despite his excessively peaceful nature, also requires early socialization in this regard. It is worth remembering that the breed has a very powerful drive to hunt down and kill other species of animals., especially stray cats. You can get along with individual family pets if you have been raised with them since your puppy.
The French White and Orange Hound Needs a negligible amount of maintenance. Regular brushing will be enough to keep his short, graceful coat in reasonably good condition..
The ears of this breed are highly susceptible to irritation and infections., so its systematic examination and cleaning should become an essential part of care routines.
French White and Orange Hound Training
The training of the French White and Orange Hound poses a considerable challenge. The breed is a natural hunter and requires basic training in all that concerns its original hunting duties.. Unfortunately, its persistence in the search for prey turns into obstinacy in training. It also, cannot concentrate on the same boring task for a long time and is easily irritated by its many repetitions.
The best training strategy for this dog should include abundant rewards in the form of praise and tasty treats.. Negative reinforcement doesn't work with French White and Orange Hound and must be avoided at all costs.
Exercise with the French White and Orange Hound
The French White and Orange Hound it is an athletic and robust hunting dog, easily adapts to extremely intense physical activity. As minimum, should be taken on a quick walk of 45 minutes a day. You should always wear a leash when you are outside, since it is very difficult to call him back once he has been drawn down some interesting path.
The French White and Orange Hound behaves calm and relaxed once exercise requirements have been fully met. Keep in mind that a little exercised dog will gradually develop behavioral problems as unpleasant as continuous barking, internal hyperactivity or destruction. This breed is best suited for suburban life in the house with a large, secure yard.

History
As its name implies, the Finnish Hound It is a breed of dog native to Finland. His story is the same as that of many other hounds, as it was developed in response to the need for a hunting dog perfectly adapted to its environment.
It is the result of a breeding program started at the beginning of the 19th century by several breeders who used the English Foxhound and several hounds, as well as French and German hunting dogs. The aim of these crosses was to create an animal capable of withstanding the extreme temperatures of Finnish winters, with excellent resistance in mountainous terrain, a trumpet bark to alert hunters and a particularly developed sense of smell that would allow it to excel at tracking hares and foxes. This breeding program was a success, and the bitch he gave birth to, call Suomenajokoira, quickly gained popularity thanks to his admirable hunting skills and friendly temperament.
When it was founded Suomen Kennelliitto, Finland's leading dog organization, in 1889, his first initiative was to develop a standardized hound breed from Finland. Many breeders came forward to try to get their production recognized as the standard to follow. Three dogs were selected in the organization's first dog show in 1891, and eight more were added the following year. The first breed standard of Finnish Hound It was established in 1893 based on these individuals. It was decided, among other things, accept only fawn as coat color. But, this color did not completely stabilize, and individuals from successive litters very often had coats of other colors, like black and white. This forced the Kennelliitto to also recognize a tricolor coat (leonado, black and white) early twentieth century, which finally became the norm. The standard evolved again in small touches later, but in its main lines it has remained the same since 1932.
The Fรฉdรฉration Cynologique Internationale (FCI) recognized the breed in 1954, but I didn't have many emulators. These may include, it wasn't until more than 40 years later, in 1996, that the United Kennel Club (UKC) he did the same. The other reference organization in the United States, the American Kennel Club (AKC), has not yet taken the step.
In fact, just like the prestigious British Kennel Club or the Canadian Kennel Club (CCC), for example, most national organizations do not yet recognize the Finnish Hound.
Outside Finland, the Finnish Hound remains totally unknown to the general public.
On the other hand, the Finnish Hound is much more popular in his native Finland, to the point of appearing in the Top 10 of the most common breeds in the country, which makes it the most widespread national breed. But, with about 1.000 births per year registered in Suomen Kennelliitto, has been in free fall for several decades. In fact, at the dawn of the 21st century the number was more than 2500, and at the end of the 90 even exceeded 4000. This sharp decline is due to increasing urbanization and the decline in hunting activities.
The same development can be found in the other Scandinavian countries that have adopted the Finnish Hound, namely, Sweden and Norway. In the first, the number of births registered each year in the Svenska Kennelklubben is now within 400, compared with more than double at the end of the 1990. The number of births registered in the Svenska Kennelklubben is now little more than 150 by year, compared to more than triple that number in the late 1990s.
The Finnish Hound still commonly used as a hunting dog in Finland, Sweden and Norway, but they are practically unknown outside the Scandinavian region.
Athletics, resistant and strong, the Finnish Hound he has a robust and muscular silhouette and a medium size. His body is rectangular, with a deep chest and well sprung ribs. The tail is carried low; is wide at the base and tapers to a point at the end.
The head is well proportioned in relation to the body and slightly domed. A characteristic detail of the breed is the upper lip, that falls to the sides of the mouth forming an N-shaped curve when viewed from the front. His eyes are dark brown with a calm expression. The ears are large, plan, falls and not very long.
The Finnish Hound have a double coat consisting of a short undercoat, dense and smooth in texture and a medium length top coat, straight and quite hard. The coat is tricolor, mixing black, fawn and white. Specifically, the fur is black, while the head, the outer parts of the legs and shoulders are tawny. At the same time, white markings are generally present on the muzzle, the neck, the chest, the belly, the feet and the tip of the tail.
Last, sexual dimorphism is only slightly marked in this breed, since the females are on average barely 3 cm smaller than males.
Carรกcter y aptitudes ยซSabueso finlandรฉsยป
The Finnish Hound it is above all a true working dog with a highly developed predatory instinct and a strong character.
Decades of independent hunting have caused them to be stubborn and stubborn. For this reason, not recommended for a novice teacher: only an experienced and firm owner can establish and maintain the appropriate level of authority to elicit acceptable behavior from him.
This does not detract from its formidable hunting qualities., an activity in which he is alert, energetic and durable. It is mainly used to hunt hare, fox and sometimes wildcat. Regardless of weather and terrain, he is always there and never spares his efforts, able to follow a trail for hours in terrible weather conditions – aided by his highly developed sense of smell. He is also a very vocal hunting dog., appreciated for its characteristic barks, who plays a key role in allowing his master to follow him even when he is out of sight, and to alert of the presence of hunting.
To counter his unlimited energy while hunting, the Finnish Hound is generally calm and friendly during periods of rest, especially when they are at home.
Once trained and socialized, the Finnish Hound blends surprisingly well into family life. They are known to be very affectionate and are constantly on the lookout for human company., forming extremely close ties with their owners. He is also a dog that loves children. But, they must be taught to interact with him appropriately and to respect him, since they may not appreciate being mistreated. In any case, a young child should never be left alone with a dog, regardless of race.
His good relations with humans are not limited to his family circle. He is usually very nice to strangers. In other words, although its thunderous barks might suggest that it is a good watchdog, this is not the case at all.
The Finnish Hound is also sociable with other hounds, especially if they have been well socialized from a young age. So, it is perfectly conceivable to adopt a second dog to keep him company.
This is all the more true as his closeness to his masters makes him easily suffer from separation anxiety when left alone for too long., since it needs a lot of attention. The presence of a small playmate can help alleviate the problem.
In any case, it must not be a cat, rodent, bird or any other small animal. In fact, even if you are used to being around him, it is evident that he would not be safe in his presence, because the predatory instincts of the Finnish Hound they can take control at any time. It also, it is recommended to always keep it on a leash during your daily walks, to prevent you from rushing in pursuit of small animals that would pass.
The Finnish Hound it is very resistant and extremely active, so you need a lot of exercise every day. In the days when you used to hunt, your tracking activity should be an appropriate amount of exercise. The rest of the time, you need at least an hour of vigorous exercise a day: run, long walks, etc.
Keeping an active mind is also very important, so it is advisable to train him regularly to follow the tracks or play ball. This helps maintain your mental well-being., In addition to your physical health.
To be happy, the Finnish Hound needs constant access to a sufficiently large outdoor space in which to run freely. It is essential that the area is fenced in to prevent the Finnish Hound chase the surrounding animals. Not suitable for a small house without a garden or in an apartment. Wherever i live, his hunting nature causes him to bark a lot and can be a source of tension with potential neighbors.
Educacciรณn ยซSabueso finlandรฉsยป
The Finnish Hound he is intelligent and full of energy, but it is a difficult breed to train. Accustomed since its creation to hunt alone, over time has developed a strong character, independent and stubborn. He needs to have before him a master who is at least as determined, that is to say, experienced, able to show your dog that he makes up his mind and to keep a firm hand in his education throughout his life. So, not recommended for a beginning teacher, on which he would soon gain the upper hand. It also, if it is important that the rules are clear and defined from the beginning by the master, it is equally important that they are constant over time and consistent from person to person, that is to say, that all members of the house enforce them to the letter.
The Finnish Hound it's hard to handle, but it shows real sensitivity, as evidenced by his closeness to his family. So, punishments can affect you emotionally; it is preferable to take a positive approach to educate him, using positive reinforcement techniques and therefore the use of rewards: candies, petting, stimuli…
In any case, hunting practice and the ability to follow a trail require very little training, since they are things that he knows how to do instinctively.
But, is strongly inclined to want to use his hunting skills in circumstances that do not lend themselves to it, for example, rushing potential small prey on walks. Teaching your dog to remember is therefore of particular importance with the Finnish Hound. But, this can be difficult, because once he's thrown on a track, can be very reluctant to abandon it, completely ignoring the orders of its owner. Feel free to start and perfect your training in a safe, enclosed space such as your home or garden before attempting outdoor exercise..
It also, It must be remembered that this breed has been encouraged from its beginnings to bark frequently and loudly. If it's not meant to be used for hunting, it is possible to try to teach your dog to refrain from barking. But, although the latter can be reduced by specific training started at a very young age, it is impossible to hunt completely naturally, that is to say, make them disappear completely.
Finally, like any dog, benefits from being socialized from their first months, to become a balanced adult who knows how to be among humans. In addition to confronting him with a wide range of situations and stimuli (noises, smells, etc.), it should be introduced without delay to the people you will meet later in life (family, friends, neighbors, veterinary, etc.), as well as getting used to cross all kinds of humans, congeners and representatives of other species. Given their hunting instinct, This last point is not unimportant.: the more accustomed you are to the presence of other animals, less likely to hunt them later.

The Istrian Shorthaired Hound is an ancient breed of hound dog originating from Istria, whose origins are lost in dark prehistory. The frescoes (1474, Chapel of the Virgin Mary in Beram, near Pazin), the paintings (including Titian, first half of the 18th century), and the chronicles (1719, Bishop Bakic of Djakovo) bear witness to it.

History
His story matches that of Istrian Shorthaired Hound, but the iconography in words and images is much more limited, as long-haired dogs are generally less attractive for renderings due to their outward appearance. But, the Istrian Coarse-haired Hound was described in detail by B. Laska in 1896 and 1905: under the name of "barbiniยป these hard elo hound dogs were put up for sale in the Pazin and Buzet area in Istria. During World War I the breed was almost extinct. From 1924 these dogs were registered in the Croatian Stallion Book. The FCI recognized the breed in 1948. The first standard dates back to 1969.
The Istrian Coarse-haired Hound has strong and robust bones. With a stern expression, gives the deceptive impression of being a dark and taciturn animal. His somewhat hairy appearance was the cause of his near disappearance, as he is physically repulsive to some due to his coarse fur. But, its deceptive appearance hides a wonderful character and very beautiful qualities.

Training / Education:
Education is not that simple. Because when hunting he always depends on himself and cannot wait for the hunter's instructions, is suitable for a wide autonomy, the owner cannot avoid the servile obedience of this breed. You need in this direction a little understanding from the owner or coach.
No harsh training methods, it would only interrupt her relationship with the man, what a double shame. Requires a certain amount of patience and empathy, benign and yet a totally consistent approach to both education and training. More than punishment it will help stimulate the positive voice (compliment, stimulus) and the material (a treat).
Care and health
