History

The Fila Brasileiro its history is linked to both genetic mixing and Brazilian colonization. There is no consensus on its origin, but probably the Brazilian line is the result of a mixture of dogs whose specialty was hunting and herding animals in the field. The mastiff, the Bulldog, the Terceira line (a portuguese breed) and the Scent hound are just a few examples of possible breeds that have contributed to tracing the DNA of the Brazilian line. Some say that indigenous dogs (Aracambรฉ) and even the savages, like the guarbo wolf, they may also have participated in the miscegenation.

In some 19th century carvings, the breed was already known to assist in catching oxen, cows, sheep and even big cats, like jaguars, for example. This shows that the Brazilian line was not just a dog to keep at the door, taking a nap in the late afternoon: I was really going to fight! And maybe that's where his keen sense of protection comes from., always putting strangers in their place once they get home.

In 1946 the first effort was made to set the breed standard. In 1976, the second standard was recognized and approved during the 1st Symposium of the Brazilian Fila Race. In 1984 the third rule was defined, which is still valid today.

Physical characteristics

It is a trotting large but very agile. It has a powerful skeleton and a rectangular structure, compact and proportionate. The head is big, heavy and solid, although it is always proportionate to the body. The craniofacial relationship is almost 1:1, with the nose slightly shorter than the skull. The occipital ridge is very prominent, especially in the puppy. The stop is low and inclined, so it should not be seen when looking at the animal from the front. The eyes are medium or large, in the form of almond, quite sunken and colored according to the mantle (yellow to dark brown). Ears are wide and thick, dangling and "V" shaped. The limbs are parallel and straight, with strong bones. A characteristic of the breed is the way of moving in amble. The tail is very broad at the root and tapers rapidly when it reaches the hock..

  • Fur: short.
  • Color: all solid colors are supported, except white, the rat gray and the mottled or stained coat, liable to disqualification. Solid color layers may have stripes of less intense or very dark color. Black mask is optional.
  • Size: in males, of 63 to 75 cm., with a minimum weight of 50 kg; in females, of 60 to 70 cm., with a minimum weight of 40 kg.

Character and skills

The Brazilian Fila is very determined, brave and can be very fierce. They can be docile and very obedient to their owners and family and are very tolerant of children.. It is a dog that loves the company of its owner and always tries to be with him.. One of the most striking points of the Fila Brasileiro is the aversion to strangers. So they are excellent guard dogs..

The Fila Brasileiro are the protectors of the pack (that is to say, the family that raises him) and therefore they need to be educated from an early age. At the age of 7 months already begin to show surveillance potential. As they are very large and very strong dogs, it's important for owners to have a firm wrist and show leadership from an early age, so that the dog becomes obedient and respects the owners.

They are very smart and tend to easily learn the owners' teachings. Be careful not to be too rigid in your corrections when the Fila Brasileiro does something wrong, because they can be a bit stubborn and make training difficult.

This dog's aggressive instinct should not be stimulated (and less with bloody methods), because it could become a dangerous animal, given its great bulk. Without a doubt, this is a breed for experts.

Head:

Grand, heavy, solid, but always well proportioned to the body. View from the top, looks like a trapezoid into which the pear-shaped head has been inserted.

Cranial region:
  • Craging: Its profile presents a smooth curve, that extends from the naso-frontal depression to the occipital protuberance, which is marked and outgoing, especially in puppies. Head on, it's wide, with a curved top line. Its lateral lines descend in shallow curves, almost vertically, and decrease towards the snout in a continuous line.
  • Dnaso-frontal depression (Stop): Seen from the front, is practically non-existent. The middle groove gently rises almost to the middle of the skull. Profile view, it is little marked, inclined and almost formed thanks to the superciliary arches, which are well developed.

facial region:

  • Trufa: Nostrils, wide, well developed, although without occupying the entire width of the maxilla. Its color is black.
  • Horcico: Strong, width, celebrities, always in proportion to the skull. Of good prominence at the base, without being higher than long. Seen from above, it is well filled under the eyes and thinning very slightly to half, then widening slightly to the previous curve. In profile, the nasal passage has a straight or slightly arched upper line, but never ascending. The anterior line is almost perpendicular to the nasal passage., with a slight depression just below the nose.
  • Labios: The upper lip is thick and hanging and covers the bottom in a perfect curve: the lower line of the muzzle is thus almost parallel to the upper one. The lower lip is well applied to the region of the fangs; from there it's loose all the way back, with ยซtoothedยป edges, and ends with the always apparent corner. The edge of the lips forms a deep inverted U.
  • Jaws / Teeth: Teeth are characterized by being wider than they are long. They are strong and white. The upper incisors are wide at the roots and sharp at the edges.. The fangs are strong, are well positioned in the maxilla and are separated. The jointindit is scissor shaped.
  • Ojors: Medium to large, macaroons, well separated and placed medium to deep. Its color ranges from brown to yellow, always in harmony with the color of the coat.However a darker color is preferred.Because the skin is loose, many specimens have hanging eyelids, detail that should not be considered as a fault, since this accentuates the sad aspect of the look, typical of the breed.
  • Obars: Pendants, thick, large, V-shaped. Wide at the root, decrease in extremities, which are rounded. Inserted into the back of the skull, They occur at the level of the midline of the eyes, when the dog is at rest, and they rise above the primitive ligament when it is alert. The ears are tilted at the ligament, since the front edge is higher than the back. Hanging to one side or folded back, so that its interior is visible(Pink).

Neck:

Extraordinarily strong and muscular, seems short. The upper edge is slightly convex, well separated from the skull. Chin presence.

Body:

Strong trunk, wide and tall, covered by thick and loose skin. The thorax is longer than the abdomen.

  • Lรญnand the top: Height at withers is slightly lower than rump, downline; is wide, due to the separation of the shoulder blades. In the place where the cross ends, the top line changes direction, gently rising to the front of the rump, without any sign of a bulging or arched back (carpal back).
  • Itmo and flank: Less long and wide than the thorax. They are clearly separated. In the female, flank edge is more developed. Seen from above, the loin should be less broad and full than the thorax and rump, but without showing signs of tightness.
  • Glikeness: Wide, long, its obliqueness approaches the 30 degrees above the horizontal and ends in a smooth curve. It is a little higher than the cross. รยก back view, it should be wide, almost equal in width to the chest, and can be even wider in females.
  • Breast : Well arched ribs, although without affecting the position of the shoulders. The chest is broad and well sloped, reaches to the tip of the elbows; the pecs are very prominent.
  • Lรญnlower ea and belly: The chest is long and is parallel to the ground in all its extension. The belly rises gently and is never puffy.

Tail:

With wide roots and medium insertion. Quickly gets thinner to finish at hock level. When the dog is excited, the tail is raised, thus accentuating the curvature of the limb. The tail must not fall on the back, nor curl up.

Tips

PREVIOUS MEMBERS:

  • Apgeneral arience: Forelimb height, from elbow to floor, It must be equal to the height from the elbow to the withers.
  • Shoulder: The shoulder and arm must be made up of two bones of the same length, shoulder blade and humerus. The shoulder blade forms an angle of 45ยฐ with the horizontal, and the humerus approximately 90ยฐ with the shoulder blade. The scapulo-humeral joint forms the tip of the shoulder, which must be at the level of the tip of the sternum, a little behind this one. In the ideal case, the shoulder and arm must be located in the space that goes from the cross to the sternum, and the end of the shoulder should be in the middle of this path. An imaginary perpendicular descending from the withers should pass through the elbow and reach the foot.
  • Antarm: Members must be parallel. The bones are strong and straight.
  • CArpos: Strong and apparent.
  • Metacarpus: Short, slightly inclined.
  • Pinis previous: They are formed by strong and well arched fingers, although not too close. Support is carried out on thick fingers and wide bearings, long and thick. In the correct position, fingers should be facing forward. The nails are strong, dark, and they can be white when the corresponding finger is also white.

LATER MEMBERS:

  • Apgeneral arience: The bones are not as thick as those of the forelimbs, however as a whole, they should never look thin. The hind limbs are parallel.
  • Thighs: Widths, with arched edges, since they are formed by the muscles that descend from the ilium and ischium. These shape the curve of the gluteus, hence it is necessary to require a good sized ischium.
  • Ttorsos: they are strong.
  • Metatarsals: Slightly sloping, longer than metacarpus; angulation of the stifle and hock is moderate.
  • Pinis later: A little more oval than the previous ones and similar to these in everything else. There should be no dewclaws.

Movement:

Long and elastic step, like that of cats. Its main characteristic is the displacement of the two members on the same side, and then move to the two on the other side, ยซ camel step ยป. This produces a waddle, with lateral rocking of the thorax and haunches, accentuated by the tail when raised. When the dog walks, its head remains below the dorsal line.. Jogging is easy, harmonious, loose, with wide and powerful strides that cover the terrain well. The gallop is powerful and with it the dog reaches an unsuspected speed in such a large and heavy animal. Its movement is always influenced by the typical joints of the molossoid., they not only give the impression, but they actually allow sudden and rapid changes of direction.

Mantle

PIEL: One of the most important characteristics of the breed is that the skin must be thick and loose over the entire trunk., mainly on the neck, where it forms pronounced jowls, which in many cases, reach the chest and abdomen. Some dogs have a fold on the sides of the head and another that descends from the cross to the shoulder. During rest, the head should not show folds; when the dog is alert, contraction of the skull skin, which is formed when the dog lifts its ears, makes small longitudinal folds appear on the skull between these.

  • Plink: Short, dense, soft and well stretched over the body.
  • Colorr: Striped, black & Fawn. A black mask may or may not be present. In all allowed colors there may be white marks on the feet, the chest and the tip of the tail.White markings on other parts of the mantle are considered missing.

History

The Dogo Argentino (Argentine Mastiff) is a breed of dog, created by the Argentine doctor Antonio Nores Martรญnez, looking for an animal suitable for the hunting of common species in Argentina, such as wild boars, peccaries and red foxes. Courage, courage and nobility are qualities that are maximized in this breed.

The Dogo Argentino It is the only living Argentine dog breed (see footnote two extinct races), defined by its creator, The doctor. Antonio Nores Martinez, as "the best dog among all prey dogs and the most prey dog โ€‹โ€‹among all the dogs in the world".

In the Decade of 1920, Antonio Nores Martinez (helped by his brother Agustรญn, his father Antonio and uncles) decided to create a breed of prey that would bring together the best qualities of the ยซCordoba Fighting Dogยซ, but with superior dimensions and physical strength. It also, he set out to achieve a dog that had aptitudes for hunting in packs, especially of wild boars, but that he was able to beat or stop the prey in combat alone until the arrival of his master or the rest of the pack.

Antonio used as a base the ยซCordoba Fighting Dogยซ, a mixture of races introduced in the Argentina by English residents, Bull Terrier and Bulldog, with breeds that the Spanish had brought, Spanish Alano and Spanish Mastiff. At these crossing, He was unbeaten in the fights of dogs, Antonio added bloodlines Bull Terrier and Pyrenean Mastiff. Like this, in the thirteenth generation, Antonio realized that he had created a perfect "war machine.", an invincible battle dog. Antonio's white dogs became famous because no other dog could beat them in the ring..

This is how the Araucana family is created. Then Antonio set out to legalize the dog he had created, because the fighting, Despite being his passion, they were prohibited throughout the world. On the other hand, He was fascinated by the idea of directly killing a dog to lift, continue and captured the dam. The Araucana family was not good for hunting because they were very aggressive towards each other., very heavy in relation to their height and lacked smell. Then Antonio introduced blood Pointer, creating the Guaranรญ family. These Dogos maintained the fighting spirit of the Araucana family, but they were more resistant to pursue prey, they had a better sense of smell and it was possible to make them not fight.

They spent several years crossing, selections and adequate functional gymnastics until towards the end of the Decade of 1940, Antonio managed to consolidate the current Argentine dogo, recognized as the most excellent hunting dog.

In 1946 a public fight for the presentation of the breed was organized between Aรฑรก, an extraordinary specimen of Dogo Argentino and a breeding boar 5 years. It was a tough race for Aรฑa, the fight came out victorious, then surrendered it in forty minutes, finishing the fight in perfect physical condition. The battle was filmed and woke up in the cinรณfilos a great admiration for the Doge ("He Dogo Argentinoยซ, by Paolo Vianini, Vecchi publishing, 2006.).

In 1947 Agustรญn organized a match at the Club de los Espaรฑoles in Morรณn between Chino, a Dogo Argentino and a Creole Black Bull, great fighter. After a while of combat, that it caused him to Chinese femur fracture, He managed to turn the nose of the bull, which, in a few minutes, He could not resist more pain and knelt. Chinese not dropped. The end was really a party for the Spanish public. Francisco, another brother of Antonio, He entered the arena and spoke to Chinese who burst into their prey and continued limping ("He Dogo Argentinoยซ, by Paolo Vianini, Vecchi publishing, 2006.).

Agustรญn was a great diffuser of the race, finally achieving its recognition as such (see letter from Dr. Agustรญn Nores Martรญnez to the FCA). The standard was published in the magazine ยซDianaยป in 1947. The official recognition in Argentina took place in 1964, and the international in 1973. You can read the letter sent by Dr. Agustรญn Nores Martinez1 to the Argentine Cynological Federation requesting the opening of genealogical records of the breed, where he makes a detailed account of the virtues and potential of Dogo Argentino.

In the last decades the Dogo Argentino It has been introduced with great success in the United States and several European countries.. Today you can find very good breeders in different countries of the world and of course in Argentina, cradle of the Doge, that there are breeders of excellence. He is currently one of the regulatory dogs for the police in Lebanon.

Physical characteristics

It is a very strong and sturdy dog, structure solid and muscular in all parts of the body, insensitive to pain, capable of combat with animals larger than himself and kill them. With the completely white layer, to distinguish it easily in the Mt., the Dogo Argentino it differs from other dogs also by its behavior: ladra rarely, almost for not wanting to note their presence, but when attacked, is devastating.

The head is large with a massive skull. The truffle is black. Slightly concave snout, with thin lips to the bite and catch prey allows, continue breathing. brown eyes, well separated between them. Ears upright or semierguidas, triangular and cut. The neck is powerful, thick and arched.

The chest is wide and deep. The very high back line at the shoulders that then slopes towards the hips. The limbs are straight, with muscular thighs, short hocks, United and short fingers. The tail is long and thick. The male must measure between 60 and 66 cm., and the female between 60 and 62 cm.; weight the male should be between the 48 to 54 kg, the female 45 kg. Always white mantle, and without spots, the pigmentation is not desired. The Dogo Argentino is an athlete, for which it should be kept light and light and not with a tendency to obesity as if it were a Mastiff.

By your skin should not remain long time exposed to the Sun. For a perfect maintenance of your fur brushing with a glove of crin or rubber that drag the loose hair is necessary. Skin problems are fairly common, particularly a disease called demodexia, It tends to occur mainly in the exemplary young immunosuppressed.

Character and skills

It is the most quintessential hunting dog. Bulldogs work in a pack, usually four members. When a bulldog winds the boar, aims it to achieve this and it turned on in the snout, ears, neck or legs, without releasing it despite the punishment that would receive the beast. The Dogo Argentino is a very powerful bite, a great resistance and much courage, qualities that allow him to fight with the animal until the end or until the other dogs of the pack arrive or the hunter who will finish off the boar with a knife.

In some cases, crosses of bulldogs with greyhounds are incorporated into the pack, called "noose", to have dogs for both faster and lighter but they do not replace pure Doges, many more powerful and resistant.
In recent years the Dogo Argentino I gain greater fame in hunting, given that can match in strength to the puma and another partner kill him. These copies are very strong and you don't feel the pain.

Like all working dog, is very faithful to his master. In house usually behave well and almost never ladra. It is quiet and balanced. He is very loyal and affectionate with people. It tends to be aggressive toward their peers if it is not educated properly from an early age.

You need to exercise, and be well comfortable space. It is not uncommon to find specimens with deafness. Their eyes should be cared, cleansing should be daily to avoid any type of inflammation.

As any large breed, needs a strong and constant education but without violence. It is important to teach him not to attack other dogs and other domestic animals with whom he must be able to live in harmony. The hombre-perro relationship is a relationship of submission, Thus the hierarchical order must establish clear, who is charge.

Once achieved this, the Dogo Argentino will be an exceptional companion, faithful to his master that will give his life if necessary. It is a dog that his role is very awake instinct, in fact, in the small farms, they wake up the instinct, Therefore, it is a dog that as a pet should always be on a leash when walking it..

Dogo Argentino Health

All dogs have the potential to develop genetic health problems, just as all people have the potential to inherit diseases. Steer clear of any breeder who does not offer a health guarantee on puppies, to tell you that race has no known problems, or keep the cubs isolated from the main part of the home for health reasons. A reputable breeder will be honest and open about the health problems of race and incidence occurring with.

Conditions that have been seen in the breed include hypothyroidism and deafness. Bulldogs can also be prone to glaucoma and laryngeal paralysis. Y, like many big and giant races, the Dogo Argentino can develop hip dysplasia.

Hip dysplasia is an inherited defect of the hip socket. It may be mild, causing little or no pain, or it can lead to severe lameness. Bulldogs with hip dysplasia can move slowly or avoid jumping. Depending on the severity of the condition, weight loss, medication or surgery may help relieve pain. Bulldogs that will be bred must have a hip x-ray and triage by a veterinary orthopedic specialist at two years of age..

Do not buy a puppy from a breeder who cannot provide you with written documentation showing that the parents were exempt from health problems affecting the breed.. Having dogs โ€œvet examinedโ€ is not a substitute for genetic health testing. Find your puppy elsewhere.

Careful breeders test their breeding dogs for genetic diseases and only breed the healthiest and best looking dogs., but sometimes mother nature has other ideas. A puppy can develop one of these diseases despite good husbandry practices. Advances in veterinary medicine mean that in most cases dogs can still live a good life. If you are going to have a puppy, ask the breeder about the ages of the dogs in their lines and what are the most common causes of death.

Remember that after you have welcomed a new puppy into your home, has the power to protect you from one of the most common health problems: the obesity. Keeping a Dogo Argentino at the right weight is one of the easiest ways to extend its life.. Make the most of your preventive skills to help ensure a healthier dog for life.

Care of the Dogo Argentino

Grooming the Dogo Argentino is easy due to its short coat, although its large size means it's a great job. One bath every three months (or when it's dirty) using a mild dog shampoo is a good idea. Brush your stylish coat with a natural bristle brush or glove once a week. Use hair conditioner / polisher to shine.

The rest is basic care. You have to check their ears every week and clean them if necessary and cut their toenails once a month. Regular brushing with a soft toothbrush and vet-approved dog toothpaste keeps teeth and gums healthy. It is essential to introduce the grooming to the Dogo Argentino when it is very young so that it learns to accept the handling and to make the fuss with tranquility.

History

The Pyrenean Mountain Dog is an ancient watchdog of the mountainous world of the Pyrenees. There it is officially called Chien de Montagne des Pyrรฉnรฉes. The people of the Pyrenees call him the cute little one Patou. The pyrenees, like a vast, deserted and rugged, previously inaccessible mountain range, form the natural border between France and Spain. Here there were and there are wolves and bears, with the consequent problem for ranchers. It also, sheep used to be one of the few livelihoods of the people here. While in Germany and other Central European countries people lament the return of the wolf and complain about the damage caused to game and sheep herds, in the Pyrenees dogs such as the Patou from time immemorial. And there are no complaints. Guard dogs are an integral part of every flock of sheep in the Pyrenees mountains.

On the French side, they are officially called Chien de Montagne des Pyrรฉnรฉes or Pyrenรคenberghund, on the Spanish side Perro de montaรฑa de los Pirineos or Gran Pirineo. In addition to protecting herds against thieves, wolves and bears, also protected large estates. His powerful figure, his determination and ability to attack in an emergency were not without effect. The impression must have been so lasting that his work was already documented in writings from antiquity and the Middle Ages.. It is reported that the dogs would have recognized people from afar by their clothes. In 1391 it is said that the Count of Foix did a test. If he came disguised as a tramp, the dogs attacked him from afar without hesitation. If he came dressed as a count, he wasn't bothered.

The Patou was not a uniform race in the past. In very remote valleys there were often local breeds, genetically isolated, optimized for your job task naturally, but in the end the same dogs came out with a very similar appearance and character, though they might have been genetically separated for generations. Extremely harsh living conditions obviously outweighed the disadvantages of inbreeding. Modern pedigree dog breeding took an interest in these impressive dogs very early on. Already at the first dog show in France, in 1863, a separate class was established for the Pyrenean Mountain Dog.

An attempt was made to establish the Patou also outside the Pyrenees as a watchdog and protection. In 1907 the first standard was established in France. But, due to the two world wars and the associated famine period, the population of Patou outside the mountains suffered serious setbacks. In 1955 obtained the official recognition of the FCI – International Cynological Federation.

Physical characteristics

The Pyrenean Mountain Dog is a big dog, imposing, powerful and at the same time athletic and agile. Doesn't seem clumsy or massive, but rather elegant piecework. It has a medium length coat, very dense and flexible, which can be slightly wavy. The bottom layer is also very dense. To the colors that the official standard says:

White or white with gray spots (badger gray or wolf gray), pale yellow or orange (rusty) in the head, ears and base of tail, sometimes also in the body.

The Pyrenean Mountain Dog it has a majestic height at the withers 70 and 80 centimeters in males and 65 to 75 in females. The weight must be between 60 and 70 kg. The measurements are quite similar to those taken by the Conde de Bylandt when he first described the breed in 1897, when he simply called the dogs "Chien des Pyrรฉneรฉsยซ. The head of the Patou remember the contours of a molosser. Shows a very alert and attentive facial expression. It is a dog that rests in itself, who first of all observes everything, seemingly listless. This is underlined by his eyes, they're supposed to be sweet and dreamy, with its dark amber color.

Character and skills

The Pyrenean Mountain Dog is a guardian and protector with territorial claims. He looks cute and calm looking, sublime and imposing almost like a blank teddy bear, but you must not be wrong. It has a strong character combined with a very own but clear idea of รขโ‚ฌโ€นรขโ‚ฌโ€นhow it should behave – and the others in their domain. This idea is naturally shaped by its use throughout the centuries, where he had to defend his flock to life or death as a guard without the presence of the shepherd and, therefore, had to make decisions independently. The official standard classifies his character qualities as follows:

Since the dog was used exclusively to protect herds against attacks by predators, its selection for breeding was based on its suitability as a guardian, their respectable appearance and also their relationship with the herd. The resulting characteristics are strength and agility., as well as the sweetness and attachment to his protรฉgรฉs. This watchdog has a tendency to independence and initiative, which requires some authority from his master.

One Pyrenean Mountain Dog should only be held by an experienced and mentally strong person. First of all, not a family dog. But, it can become so if it has extremely competent guidance from its master or caretaker and if the external conditions are right. Only then can he be a good family dog รขโ‚ฌโ€นรขโ‚ฌโ€นand lovingly protect all members of the family., including other four-legged friends. It also, is a good guardian and extremely reliable protector of the house and all those who, in your opinion -which should be clarified-, belong to it. Towards strangers he is suspicious.

Fitness

The Pyrenean Mountain Dog it is extremely undemanding in its maintenance – if one ignores the aforementioned restrictions due to its nature as a watchdog. It is undemanding in its nutrition as well as in its accommodation. You can spend the whole year outside without problems – As long as you have a suitable and "adequate" hiding place, it does not mean either a kennel or a chain., because he must be able to move in his territory. This large, self-confident dog is quite sensitive and places great importance on a close emotional bond with his human family.. You need a trusting relationship with your master or caregiver.

Thanks to modern pedigree dog breeding, the Patou is better prepared for a big city life than other herd protection dog breeds like the Kangal or the Central Asian Shepherd Dog. So if you have a large, well-fenced property in the country, if you have joy, fun, experience and the possibility of getting involved with these dogs, you can experience a particularly impressive and beautiful facet of the human-dog association.

Pyrenean Mountain Dog Education

The education of Pyrenean Mountain Dog belongs to the hands of a teacher or lover with deep experience and canine knowledge. Like any other race, Pyrenean mountain dogs must be well socialized and educated since they are puppies. It would be irresponsible to want to keep such a dog as a beginner.

Care and health of the Pyrenean Mountain Dog

Absolutely easy to care for and undemanding. The Pyrenean Mountain Dog generally enjoys very robust health. Some health problems may include hip dysplasia; heart problems such as tricuspid valve dysplasia; cancers like osteosarcoma (bone cancer); eye problems such as persistent pupil membranes, progressive retinal atrophy and cataracts; dissecting osteochondritis (an orthopedic problem), patellar dislocation (dislocation of the patella) and swelling.

Nutrition / Food

The Pyrenean Mountain Dog he has no problem with his diet.

Life expectancy of the Pyrenean Mountain Dog

    Content

    History

    With the settlement of the Azores archipelago and the beginning of the exploration of the optimal conditions of the islands for raising cattle, the need for dogs on the islands to help drive and defend livestock soon became apparent, dating from the sixteenth century the first reference to its presence, in particular on the island of Sรฃo Miguel. These animals are recognized as the precursors of Saint Miguel Cattle Dog.

    Although the existence of Saint Miguel Cattle Dog, as an individual race, has been recorded since the early 19th century, only in 1982 began to be registered by Antรณnio Josรฉ Amaral with the collaboration of Maria de Fรกtima Machado Mendes Cabral, veterinarian, in order to create a census of your herds. The first officially registered dog of the breed was the ยซCoriscaยป, a perfect representative of your breed.

    It is also on the initiative of these same two people that, in 1984, two years after the beginning of the registration of persons the first official standard is published. In 1995 was proposed to the FCI (International Cynological Federation) and the breed was finally recognized in 2008.

    Origin:

    The breed known today as Saint Miguel Cattle Dog descended from mastiffs and alano initially brought to the islands of the Azores by the first settlers on the continent. Later, and through contact with other people who came and settled in the Azores, the genetic heritage of the breed was enriched by crosses made with English mastiffs, bulldogs and Dogue de Bordeaux, until the culmination of the appearance of the new race, with fully defined morphological and temperamental characteristics.

    In addition to those mentioned, other races may form part of the Fila de San Miguel ancestry, as the St. Humberto's Dog, also known as Bloodhound, and the Dogo Canario, a Spanish breed from the Canary Islands, but the real link – yes there is – between these races and the Sao Miguel queue not yet proven.

    Physical characteristics

    The Saint Miguel Cattle Dog it is characterized by being an animal of size and rustic features and characteristically longer than tall. The breed is medium in size, muscular, but without the heavy appearance of others.

    The muzzle is well proportioned, apparently short, but it hides a wide mouth, with a full denture, capable of a powerful bite. The head has a solid appearance, wide and with the ears well placed on top, implanted in a strong neck that starts from a solid trunk, with a wide and deep chest. The legs are proportional to the body, being the front, as a rule, slightly separated.

    The coat is strong, smooth and dense, and always striped, and it can be tawny, gray or yellow, with white mesh on the chest. Legs can also be white. The tail is implanted high, it's thick, medium length and slightly curved. It is amputated at the height of the second or third vertebra, or is it naturally short.

    • Size: males, of 50 to 60 cm.; females, of 48 to 58 cm..

    Character and skills

    Race of a lively and sharp intelligence, with great ease of learning, the strength of character of the Saint Miguel Cattle Dog, coupled with a distrust of the strange instincts of all guardians by vocation, can easily be mistaken for aggressiveness, but it hides a gentle nature towards those with whom it deals closely, while remaining a tenacious and courageous guardian of those who treat him. His loyalty to his human family is extreme.

    With even greater emphasis, given the dominant nature of the breed, the education and sociability of puppies must be done from birth, gradually exposing the animals to new situations and stimuli, in order to improve the development of balanced individuals capable of living with humans and other animals.

    Not a suitable breed for beginners, given its dominant nature, further enhanced by his physical strength and his strongly independent and autonomous character.

    Even as a pet, a Saint Miguel Cattle Dog must have the opportunity to have a task to perform. Thorough training is always a simple and effective means of strengthening the relationship between the human family and the animal, while providing the physical and mental exercise necessary for the training and development of a well-balanced animal.

    But, given the intrinsic characteristics of the breed, training a copy of the Saint Miguel Cattle Dog it is a task that can be quite difficult for someone who has little experience with dogs. Being a very intelligent and dominant breed, will not respond well to the use of force. Full socialization recommended.

    The sheepdog for tradition and excellence, their natural fitness for livestock can, with the right training, can be channeled into the care of horses and other small ruminants such as sheep and goats. When not channeled to grazing, the Saint Miguel Cattle Dog has already demonstrated its aptitude for big game hunting, like the boar and the deer.

    Its strong and protective temperament is also valued as a self-defense dog..

    Health ยซSt. Michael's Rowยป

    Being a rustic breed, is in robust health and there are no records to date to suggest that there is any pathology to which the breed is specifically prone to for genetic reasons. The average life expectancy of this breed is calculated in 12 years.

    St. Michael's Row Toilet

    The same hardiness that gives vigor to the breed also makes it a poorly maintained breed in a strict sense. Short, hard hair can be brushed occasionally and baths will be sporadic.. Adequate and balanced feeding will give developing puppies what they need to become healthy adults, and the same regimen will suffice to ensure adult health..

    History

    The Dogue de Bordeaux, it is a medium to large size molossian from France. The Molossoid type has been known since ancient times and played a considerable role in various cultures of the ancient world.. The Babylonians carved their molosser out of granite. They served rulers like Hammurabi as war dogs. Molosses are strong and heavy dogs. They have a commanding head with a short snout and long lips.. The ears are usually worn hanging. According to the traditions of antiquity in words and images, the main characteristics of the molossian have remained essentially the same for thousands of years.

    The range of their tasks in the service of man has also remained constant for a long time. The ancestors of the Dogue de Bordeaux served as a hunting dog for large, well-fortified game, especially as a saupacker. They had to catch and corral the dangerous boar until the hunter could kill it with the boar feather, a special spear. This required speed, resistance, much courage and strength. The Dogue de Bordeaux served and continues to serve today as a guard and protection dog. In the Middle Ages it was used for the arenas of animal fighting. Large and small mollusks have always been scattered across Europe. The Dogue de Bordeaux was created as an independent breed with the emergence of modern dog breeding as a separate breed of dog. In 1863 The first French dog show was held at the Paris Acclimatization Garden.

    The Dogue de Bordeaux it was already shown there under its current name. The name must be derived from the fact that these dogs were most often seen in the butcher shops of the city of Bordeaux.. At that time the Dogue de Bordeaux they were not so big however, heavy and as wrinkled as today. The monochromaticity required today was also missing. The award-winning male in Paris in 1883, ยซBatailleยป, he had a wrinkle-free head with a black mask. The Dogue de Bordeaux often had to suffer the political turmoil of mankind. During the French Revolution in 1789 was almost exterminated, because he was considered the dog of the rich. During the two world wars, the dogs had to suffer so much that their breed was endangered after the wars. Since the decade of 1960 has been experiencing a new boom. To revive the race, it is said that they were crossed with the St. Bernard shorthair.

    Physical characteristics

    The Dogue de Bordeaux It has an impressive appearance, despite or perhaps because it is not as big and heavy as a Mastiff or Saint Bernard. But, you can see the power it presents in majestic serenity. The standard establishes a height at the withers of 60 to 68 cm for males and 58 to 66 cm for females. The weight of the males is "at least 50 kg" and that of females of "at least 45 kgยป. Unfortunately, the standard does not provide an upper weight limit. So today we see specimens with 70 kg and more.

    Especially such gigantism is at the expense of dogs' fitness and health.. Belgian Earl Bylandt gives 1894 as weight for the male 54 – 60 kg. German cynologist Richard Strebel reports in 1905 of 54 – 55 kg as the best weight for a male and 45 – 46 kg for a female. Such a weight would also do the current Dogue de Bordeaux very well.. The coat of the Dogue de Bordeaux must be thin, short and soft to the touch. It should be "solid in all shades of fawn from mahogany to Elizabethan". White spots on the chest and extremities of the limbs are allowed when they are not very extensive. This color restriction is also not very beneficial for the gene pool of the Dogue de Bordeaux. All this leads to the fact that today the Dogue de Bordeaux is one of the most ephemeral dogs..

    History ยซSpanish Dogeยป

    Presa dogs entered the Iberian Peninsula accompanying barbarian tribes back in the 4th century; Swabians, Vandals and Alans they were guarding their livestock and transhumant with this type of dog camps.

    Throughout history these animals have been used in different functions with a common denominator; his instinct for hunting and dam as a tool at the service of hunting; management of livestock; guardianship and custody of properties; dog of war; etc.

    Kings, feudal lords, mercenaries, butchers, livestock, and even bullfighting, make these lineages a very important reference in the history of our country, reaching its peak during the period called "Spanish romanticism". The historical references are so numerous as diverse. Depending on their morphological characteristics, they would be used for some purposes or others.; the lightest and most runner type dogs were used for hunting big game, and the most corpulent and big-headed were used in tasks that required more power or stopping force than resistance. Where, how and when it begins to be systematically selected towards one or another trend and under one or another name is something difficult to decipher. Then there was talk of "types" -the concept of race is much more modern in canine matters-; and under that concept of "type" different morphologies coexisted with certain common features. The most generic denominations of this "type" have been "Alanos"; "dams";โ€œdogosโ€; โ€œbull dogsโ€; โ€œalan butchersโ€; โ€œboringโ€; etc.

    Sometimes referring to specific differential features called them in one way or another, and other times of generically under the same concept to different varieties. A current "taxonomic" classification of these dogs according to historical references, it would be an anachronism of difficult zootechnical solution.
    We find centuries-old descriptions โ€“such as the one in the โ€œLibro de la Monterรญaโ€- that under the same concept of "Alano" puts the light type for hunting, mentioning another heavier variety for grabbing cattle.

    Videos "Spanish dogo"

    But we also find arguments and references that support morphological and functional differences between these "dams"; see the description of "Dogo" by the Royal Academy of the language Edition of the 20th century; The distinction by the Royal Canine society of Spain in 1911 between โ€œpresa espaรฑolโ€ in its facet of guard and utility and the โ€œAlanoโ€ in the group of trail and monterรญa; the medal with the inscription โ€œDogo de Burgosโ€ of the year 1625 ; documented deliveries of indigenous British Bulldogs and Italians, etc.

    So, far from scrutinizing on etymological or linguistic issues that are not exempt from ambiguities on occasions, We focus on the constructive process, that is none other that history with all its variability of types reconciled, with the present reality of the concept โ€œraceโ€, which requires adjustment to more defined patterns.

    Under this purpose is born the project for the recovery of the Spanish dogo; which would encompass the heaviest and most corpulent type of Alano or prey on our peninsula.

    Why unify under the name of "Dogoโ€? It was to use a name that meet a series of requirements:

      1. Having historic endorsement in number and significance of reference
      2. Generic name and identifiable with these morphologies
      3. Avoid controversial connotations related to endangerment
      4. Avoid localisms or allusion to obsolete or too restrictive functions

    The result of all this is the denomination of โ€œDogoโ€ is the one that best encompasses the concept of โ€œmolosser Iberianโ€.

    We have the definition ofDogoโ€ by the Royal Academy of the language; our Dogos influenced directly or indirectly the rest of related breeds; There are manifests from the Crown of Aragon for sending Spanish Dogos to Naples; The Governor of Cuba refers to the delivery of "Spanish prisoners" to the British Army for the control of maroons; they exported extensively to England; in Germany they recreated the extinct "bullesbeizer" through the Boxer by crossing a bulldog with a female prey named "Flora" of clear Hispanic descent; It is enough to look at the first Boxers from the end of the 19th century to see the resemblance between the German breed of that period and our native rustic flatbacks..
    The number of references is countless.

    • 2. Origins of the recovery process of the Spanish dogo

    In the Decade of the 80, With the beginning of the recovery of the Alano, the existence of different typologies and trends is already contemplated.. Then the terms "type" were used, livestock line or trendโ€ Vs โ€œhunter typeโ€ as a differential label.

    The merger of "Alans or dams" with dogs "villainsโ€ of the land, -light herding dogs and lupoid cut โ€“ gave a versatile hybrid that retained the atavism of the gripping dogs, but with the spark and resistance of the shepherds. Hence the "Villain of the Encartacionesโ€, a derivative of the Alano in its lightest version.

    The Spanish Alano standardizes by orienting its selection towards an intermediate type. The process concludes with the official recognition of the breed in the year 2003 on the part of the Royal Canine Society of Spain.

    In short the basic trends on a bipolar scale we find the following picture:

      1ยบ/ On the one hand light morphology of more running and unloaded structures;

      2ยบ/ At the opposite pole, the most corpulent and brachycephalic types;

      3ยบ/ And between both extremes, a majority and consolidated intermediate type.

    The types "corridorโ€ e โ€œintermediateโ€ would be represented by โ€œVillainsโ€ y โ€œAlansโ€ respectively; leaving uncovered the most molosser niche of the scale.

    It was fair to detach for the first time since the beginning of the last century our "most corpulent prey" from their alan matrix, and do it not under the constraint that prints a "trend", But reconciling the idiosyncrasies of this type with the concept of current race. Any trend that takes body and prominence is likely to empower low-status of race; It is just a matter that under the right circumstances: having genetic material; references historical; and above all with a coordinated group willing to redirect selection facilitate this work.

    With the recovery of the Alano the tribute that the extreme types would pay was foreseeable; marginalized to a purely testimonial presence in directly proportional relationship to the fixing of the intermediate alano. Under this panorama our last redoubts of โ€œDogosโ€ would be doomed to extinction as a potential breed or in the best of cases relegated to trend within the moderation imposed by the Alano standard.

    Fortunately, individuals of this type continued to be born in the litters of Alans. We have continued to use some breeders as players occasionally, and if only it were looking for complementarity, those genes are still there. Other breeders โ€“special mention to Francisco Rincon– they have had the courage not only to continue using Alans in this trend, but do so looking for fix this type rather than complement it. Thanks to this, the recovery project of the โ€œSpanish dogoโ€ based on the genetic base of the โ€œAlano" is a reality.

    Physical characteristics

    One of the most controversial issues in mapping out the path and targets in selection, It is to be clear where it started and where we are going; define that niche is covered with this project, and do it with its own identity, trying to converge as little as possible with the rest of related breeds. Our Dogo would fall between the molossians of arenas and the molosoides group.

    More related with our races Spanish dogo indigenous, both by type and by junction, they would be the Dogo Canario; the Alan Spanish; the Majorca Mastiff; the Dogue de Bordeaux; the Cane Corso; and the Bullmasfiff.

    Based on a thorough differential analysis of our standard project, We have our niche secured connection all them. Of echo, There is greater overlap between many terriers; bracoides; shepherds and Nordics โ€“ to name a few families- to enter our Spanish dogo and the rest of related.

    To see clearly where lie these differences, -others such as expression and typicity are more difficult to quantify- We took the average values of each racial pattern and vein results with our Spanish dogo. We will look at an example, that where could have some overlap in weight, There will be no size, or where any size won't be it in proportions; not to mention in expression and typicity although not easily described values.

    To this end we present the attached table offering average in those easier to obtain parameters values: adding maximum and minimum thresholds and dividing by two we get average weights and sizes of each standard. We do so only in males by simplifying data and observe such differences at a glance quickly.

    Delving into these differences, other variables โ€“such as craniofacial lines; body perimeters such as head and chest; proportion of muzzle to skull; eye color; etc.,- They come to make our niche even clearer and they do so without entering into a conflict of competence with respect to the rest of the related breeds..

    HISTORICAL REVIEWS:

    During the period between the end of the s. IV and the 5th century, the alano village will occupy large areas of southern Europe, among others the Iberian Peninsula. This town is made accompanied by their dogs of prey, which are mixed with the powerful dogs brought to the peninsula by Phoenicians and Romans, mainly.

    Crossbreeding that gives rise to what would later be called Dogo, Dam or flat Spanish among other synonyms. His name is mainly due to their excellent qualities in the management and control of the cattle of bravo and semi-bravo type, native of the Iberian Peninsula.
    Later, the emergence of bullfighting, would make these play a prominent role in the same, in the so-called luck of dogs, until the beginning of the 20th century.

    Character and abilities of the ยซSpanish Dogoยป

    The historical evidence make it clear that we have a purely functional breed. We have already referred to some of the work that played these dogs; in bullfighting for the luck of โ€œdogs the bullโ€; for management of livestock and hunting; as dog's force to the dam or grip of cattle; also as a dog guard or defense accompanied the armies. They had great prominence in America during the colonial period for the control of Maroons and the birth of much of the functional races of that continent: Cimarrรณn Uruguayo; Fila Brasileiro; cordovan fighting dog and rear dogo argentine; antique American Bulldogss; dams of the Caribbean; etc.

    While it is true that society evolves and the times are changing, It is not less true that the potential of this group can bring much as working dog. We want that the Spanish dogo still a dog's working to the extent of their possibilities; obviously not to compete with pastors in agility or mondioring not with villains in a half marathon; the limitations will be marked by their own morphological characteristics. But some minimal tests aimed at evaluating parameters related to power can be outlined.; arrojo and safety; meet minimum requirements in terms of physical potential; everything is a matter of to agree according to the reality of the project.

    Obviously if demand parameters that agility and resistance prevail, we would fall into the error of converging towards lighter typologies, hence how complicated it is sometimes to draw guidelines in this regard. It is not comparing ourselves to other breeds, fate of squeezing the maximum potential of our. If we have something clear who decided to give shape to this project, is that we do not want that our Spanish dogodo not become a mere pretty โ€œshowcaseโ€ just to recreate the reminiscences of the old bulldogs. These dogs must continue to be able to meet certain requirements and do so with the solvency appropriate to their morphology..

    I have always defended the individual initiative of each owner, each breeder; the selection and therefore evolution or a breed standardization, It does not necessarily imply a collective effort of all and each of the owners and breeders; It is enough to encourage those who wish to engage one degree more do so and facilitate the improvement of the rest. It is not so much a question of obligation and requirement, but to motivate those who want to use their energies in the improvement of the breed through its functional aspect.

    With a small group of fans "motivated" in this sense and working good dogs for the benefit of the community, there must be tangible results in the medium-long term that allow us to differentiate ourselves from other groups of a similar nature, but which have become mere exaggerated showcases of what they were. To minimize the danger of this "deterioration" -understood as such the reduction of its ancestral benefits in favor of spectacularity without more-, the breed Club can play an important role in this regard.

    It is possible to negotiate at the club level with veterinary clinics that allow significant discounts to members in the management of health control parameters (plates of hips and elbows dysplasia; hemivertebrae; heart tests; etc.); even subsidize club as part of these costs; establish ranking of specimens recommended by the club for breeding; designing tests of work; etc. It's all about go mapping objectives and study feasibility of each.
