History
The long history of Hungarian Braco (often called Vizsla, as in your home country) is inseparable from that of the Magyar tribes. In effect, the latter were already accompanied by their ancestors when their migrations through the Russian steppes and the Carpathians ended in the ninth century and settled in the Carpathian basin., region corresponding to modern Hungary.
Writings dating from the period of King Adelbert III (1235-1270) they already refer to a “yellowish dog named Vizsla“, used by the Hungarian people for hunting. Illustrations that appear in a 14th century Carmelite book, as well as a Gothic engraving of the fifteenth century, are considered the first representations of this dog. In the 16th century, it had become commonplace among the Hungarian aristocracy and nobility, that they used it both for hunting and for the companion dog.
Numerous crosses between hunting dogs took place since the 16th century and gave the Vizsla your current appearance. There is no clear information on the different breeds used, but several sources, including the reference book The Hungarian Vizsla, written by Gay Gottlieb and published in 1985, they mention Setter, German Shorthaired Pointer, Serbian hound, English Foxhound, English Greyhound, Sloughi and Romanian dog breeds. In any case, the goal was always to keep an aspect close to their ancestors, as evidenced by his yellow color and brown nose. The latter distinguishes it from most other pointer breeds., who have a black nose.
In 1924 a breeding club was formed in Hungary and the first individuals were recorded at that time. In the Decade of 1930 the development of Hungarian Short-Haired Pointer (Vizsla) raised fears that the characteristics of the breed would be lost, but a rigorous breeding program under the aegis of the breed club made it possible to separate the breeds and prevent their characteristics from being diluted through inappropriate crossbreeding..
Like many other races, the Vizsla suffered severely during World War II, but he quickly regained his health. Already in 1954 was recognized by the International Cynological Federation (FCI), which supervises the national organizations of a hundred countries, including France, Belgium and Switzerland.
It was also in the decade of 1950 when a first specimen was imported into the United States, despite the context of the cold war. This led to the recognition of the breed by the American Kennel Club (AKC) already in 1960.
The world's leading dog associations followed suit, like the British Kennel Club (KC) in 1971 and the American United Kennel Club (UKC) in 1984. El Canadian Kennel Club (CKC), as well as a large majority of national organizations around the world also recognize it.
Popularity
Known all over the world, the Hungarian Short-Haired Pointer (Vizsla) enjoys some popularity in general. However, There are, of course, significant differences between countries.
In France, made significant progress in the last decades of the 20th century. The number of births registered each year in the French Stud Book (LOF) in the early decade of 1970 increased from about 40 to more than double at the end of the decade. Exceeded 150 at the end of the Decade of 1980, and then entered the new millennium with more than 200 births per year. The number has remained practically stable since then, fluctuando between 200 and 300 annual records, with sometimes significant variations from one year to another. These figures are still relatively modest: to the Hungarian Short-Haired Pointer (Vizsla) struggles to make a name for himself among the most popular hunting dog breeds, although it is much more popular than its wire-haired counterpart. The “Hungarian Wire-haired Pointer” does not usually have more than 50 births per year.
They are also quite discreet in Switzerland, since statistics from the Amicus database show that they are not among the 50 most numerous dog breeds in the country.
The situation is very different in Britain, where is an important and growing success. Has grown from around 1.000 annual registrations at the Kennel Club in the mid-1990s 2000 a 1.500 early in the decade 2010. This digit, already estimated, then doubled over the decade, to the point of approaching 3000 births per year.
It is also a great success in the United States, occupying the position 30 (almost 200) in the most popular breeds based on annual AKC registration statistics. His wire-haired counterpart is far behind, finishing near the bottom of the rankings at around 160th place.
It is also successful in some countries far from its homeland, like Argentina, where there is more than 4.000 specimens.
In any case, el ong>Braco Húngaro de pelo corto is generally much better established than its descendant the “Hungarian Wire-haired Pointer“. Perhaps the only exception is the Czech Republic, where there are some 5.000 of each race.
Physical characteristics
The Hungarian Short-Haired Pointer (Vizsla) it is a medium sized hunting dog. He looks a lot like his descendant the Hungarian Wire-haired Pointer, but with a shorter coat and a slightly less voluminous silhouette.
His body is almost square, slightly longer than tall, with lean, well-defined muscles that leave no room for superfluous curves. The legs are made of solid bones, well muscled and ending in slightly oval legs with brown nails.
The tail, set a little low and descending to the hock, is wide at the base and then gradually tapers towards the tip. Using this dog for hunting means that it has long been shortened by a quarter of its length to reduce the risk of injury. This practice of cutting off a dog's tail (tail docking) still practiced in some countries, but is currently banned in an increasing number of territories, including France, Belgium, Switzerland and Quebec.
The head has a broad skull, moderately domed with a moderate stop. The ears, located on the back, they are quite long (about three-quarters of the length of the head) and hang along the cheeks. The eyes are oval and brown in color, as dark as possible. The snout, pretty short, is truncated (not pointed in any way) and ends in a big brown nose, darker than fur.
The top layer is, of course, short, as the breed name suggests, but also very close and rough to the touch. However, is finer and silkier on the face and ears, a little lighter on the belly and a little longer under the tail. It's important pointing that, unlike in the Hungarian Wire-haired Pointer, the Hungarian Short-Haired Pointer (Vizsla) does not have undercoat.
Whether it is short haired or wire haired, the Vizsla should have a uniform golden wheat color throughout the body except the ears, which are darker in color. Red tones are not desired, brown or discolored. A white mark on the chest or throat is acceptable, but should not exceed 5 cm..
Finally, sexual dimorphism is well marked in the Vizsla, the male being significantly larger and larger than the female.
Varieties:
The Hungarian Short-Haired Pointer (Vizsla) appeared in the decade of 1930 as a result of a cross between two females of Hungarian Short-Haired Pointer (Vizsla) and a male of German Shorthaired Pointer. Although they are very close, They are considered two separate breeds by international and national canine organizations that recognize them, and not two varieties of the same breed.
Apart from his longer hair and his characteristic goatee, the Hungarian Wire-haired Pointer are very similar, if they are not identical, to their ancestors.
Therefore, if there are some more or less subtle differences in terms of appearance, the same cannot be said in terms of character: in this field, the Hungarian Wire-haired Pointer hardly differs from his alter ego the Hungarian Short-Haired Pointer (Vizsla).
Character and skills
The temperament of Hungarian Short-Haired Pointer (Vizsla) does not differ by coat length. The Hungarian Wire-haired Pointer has the same character traits.
They are very affectionate dogs and very attached to their family. However, they always feel closer to a particular member of the household, who then becomes his favorite human, and they don't try to hide their prejudice.
In any case, is much less sociable with people who are not part of the home: he is not aggressive with them, but prefers to ignore them and act as if they are not there… at least as long as they don't represent a danger to him. In fact, his closeness to his family makes him protective of both his family and his territory. Reprimands in a deterrent way when a threat approaches, and does not hesitate to intervene if necessary.
With the kids, his attitude is similar: he is close and tender with those who live with him, for whom it is an excellent playmate, but ignore his friends who come to the house, or those you meet in the park. Peor aún, if you mistakenly perceive certain games with the little one of the family as an aggression on their part, your protective instincts can lead you to react violently, mostly because he's always on the prowl. In any case, know it or not, you should never be left alone with a small child, without adult supervision. This is true for any dog, regardless of race.
The Hungarian Short-Haired Pointer (Vizsla) he is very sociable with his companions, whether they live under the same roof or with strangers you meet on a walk. Having him share your home with another dog is a good way to avoid boredom if his handlers are regularly absent..
The same cannot be said for a cohabitation with a small animal, that would quickly turn sour. If you have been used to being around the domestic cat from an early age, he has every chance of being considered a full member of your family, and therefore to be left alone. On the other hand, A bird, rodent or reptile is likely to awaken the hunting instinct that has accompanied it for generations. A small animal unknown to him and that he would have the bad idea to pass by during his pilgrimages would also have every chance of suffering a sad fate.. For the same reason, it is advisable to keep it on a leash in places where the probability of such encounters is quite high.
Más aún, his physical qualities and his resistance also make him a great companion for those who want to run with their dog, ride a bike with him and take him for a ride. On the other hand, given your significant need for exercise, not recommended at all for elderly or overly sedentary people.
In any case, best kept on a leash in urban or residential areas to avoid drama if small animals pass by, on the other hand, remove it in the wild, so you can run free and vent. This assumes that the withdrawal orders are perfectly acquired, but even when this is the case, it is difficult to fully trust his propensity to return without delay as soon as he is asked to do so. Therefore, it is advisable to equip your dog with a GPS dog collar, so you can easily find it if you venture a little too far, especially since he might not be able to find his way back.
Mientras sea capaz de ejercitarse lo suficiente cada dÃa, the Hungarian Short-Haired Pointer (Vizsla) it is perfectly suitable for apartment living, If and when, of course, is the right size for your build. Having said that, the ideal for him is still a house with a garden. It goes without saying that the garden must be perfectly closed, to prevent any attempt to chase an animal. What's more, although he greatly appreciates being able to go outside at any time to stretch his legs, this dog is not cut out for spending most of his time outdoors: although he can sleep outside, appreciates the comfort of home and the proximity of his family.
However, They are not the type of dog that will follow your wishes with finger and eye. Siglos de caza con un alto grado de autonomÃa lo han hecho bastante independiente, which can be problematic if you are faced with an inexperienced owner or one who is not able to be firm enough to command respect for your dog.
Having said that, this independence of mind does not mean that he appreciates being left home alone for long periods of time. You can tolerate your family being normally away during the day as long as they pay attention to you at night, but risks destructive behavior if left alone for a whole weekend.
Last, the Hungarian Short-Haired Pointer (Vizsla) has a powerful voice, but rarely heard. Usually, barks only when threatened, or feel that something really important should be reported.
Education
The training of a Hungarian Short-Haired Pointer (Vizsla) can be problematic for a caregiver who does not know how to command respect and authority. With his independent character and his intelligence above the average, this dog can quickly turn things around and take control if given the opportunity.
Clear rules that are established at the beginning and that are consistent over time and among family members help establish discipline that is easy to understand and respect.. Establishing and enforcing these rules is crucial to having a dog that knows what is expected of him and follows it.. However, should not be done in one way; in particular, traditional training techniques should not be used, as they can traumatize the dog and cause blockages. On the other hand, educational methods based on positive reinforcement give much better results.
At the end, the training of Hungarian Short-Haired Pointer (Vizsla) generally does not present any difficulties, not even for a beginning caregiver, as long as the hierarchy is well established. This is all the more true since he is not one of those who question it systematically afterwards.
Therefore, learning how to call back should be a priority, so that it can be allowed to run freely when the environment is suitable (forest, etc.), instead of having to keep it on a leash at all times. Having said that, it is difficult to expect complete reliability in this matter, given the strength of his hunting instinct.
Like any other race, the Hungarian Short-Haired Pointer (Vizsla) you should start socializing as soon as you get to your new home. This is generally done without problems, his curious and open nature helps him to quickly get acquainted with different people, animals and situations you may encounter, either occasionally or more regularly. This period should be used to get to know people (friends, neighbors, veterinary, etc.) and the human beings you will meet more or less frequently in your life. It is also the right time to get him used to meeting all kinds of unfamiliar humans and dogs., so you know how to behave in all circumstances.
Health

The Hip Dysplasia, a joint problem often favored by a hereditary predisposition, causing pain and difficulty in movement, as well as osteoarthritis with age;
Elbow dysplasia, a malformation of the joint, which is also possibly related to a predisposition inherited from parents, and that also causes pain and lameness;
Epilepsy, a nervous system disease of often hereditary origin, responsible for more or less frequent and intense seizures. The disease cannot be cured on its own, but your symptoms can be relieved with the help of medication;
Addison's disease, a hormonal deficiency that is usually inherited from the parents and manifests itself in various ways: weakness, vomiting, diarrhea, weightloss… The most severe form of the disease is usually fatal, while the chronic form can be kept under control with lifelong treatment;
Hemophilia type A, an inherited disorder that prevents blood from clotting properly, and that affects men more than women. May manifest in heavy bleeding, bruising or blood in the urine;
Hyperuricosia, a disease also inherited from the parents. Corresponde a un exceso de ácido úrico, leading to the formation of crystals in the urine, which in turn can cause bleeding and kidney failure;
Allergies, that can be caused by factors as different as food, the environment or parasites. Allergies can be caused by factors as different as food, the environment or parasites, and most often manifest as itching and redness of the skin;
Ear infections, as in most breeds of dogs with drooping ears.
The Hungarian Short-Haired Pointer (Vizsla) it is also particularly susceptible to various diseases of the eyes:
Progressive retinal atrophy, a degeneration of eye tissue that causes irreparable loss of sight, first at night and then also during the day;
Entropion, a defect in the position of the eyelid that can be inherited and causes irritation of the eyeball. The problem can be treated with surgery;
Ectropión, an eyelid curl problem also inherited from parents, which also causes eye irritation. Also in this case, an operation remedies the problem;
Glaucoma, often hereditary, which is a painful increase in the pressure inside the eye. This leads to blindness if it is not operated as soon as possible.
What's more, people who are used to hunt are particularly exposed to the risk of injuries that this activity implies.
Since many of the diseases to which the breed is predisposed are or may be hereditary, the adoption of a strict breeder of Hungarian Short-Haired Pointer (Vizsla) maximizes the probability of getting a healthy animal, and one that stays that way. In fact, a professional breeder not only ensures that puppies are well socialized from their first weeks of life, but also that they do not inherit a hereditary defect from their parents. To achieve this goal, causes various genetic tests to be systematically performed on the breeding stock in question, and excludes all those who could present any risk. You can also have the resulting puppies examined to confirm the absence of a hereditary condition.. In any case, must be able to present the results of the tests performed, plus a certificate of good health from a veterinarian and the puppy's health or vaccination record, that includes all vaccines that have been administered.
What's more, from the moment he arrives home until the end of his life, it is essential to allow your dog to be regularly examined by a veterinarian for a complete health check. This is necessary at least once a year, and more often as you get older, as it allows early detection of a potential problem and action accordingly. These visits are also an opportunity to have immunizations increased when needed.. At the same time, It is also necessary to ensure that antiparasitic treatments of the “child” are renewed throughout the year, so you are never unprotected at this level.
Grooming
The Hungarian Short-Haired Pointer (Vizsla) it is an easy dog ​​to keep, especially when it comes to fur. A quick weekly brushing is enough to keep the coat clean and healthy. However, frequency should be increased during the two seasonal moulting periods, in spring and autumn. To help remove dead hairs, daily brushing is recommended.
It is also necessary to bathe from time to time, although the frequency required depends largely on the lifestyle of the animal. If your dog often lives in the woods for long hours and gets very dirty, it may help to give him a bath every month. On the other hand, if you spend most of your time in parks and have little exposure to the elements, bathe him 2 or 3 times a year is potentially sufficient. In all cases, it is imperative to always use a shampoo designed specifically for dogs, since the pH of your skin differs from that of humans.
Your ears are the part of your body that requires the most vigilance, since its drooping shape facilitates the accumulation of dirt and moisture, and therefore the development of infections (ear infections, etc.). Therefore, must be checked and cleaned every week, as well as drying out every time you have bathed in a lake or river or come back from a long period of time in a humid environment.
The weekly maintenance session of the Hungarian Short-Haired Pointer (Vizsla) should also include an exam and, if necessary, cleaning the eyes, to prevent dirt from building up and causing infection.
What's more, like all the other dogs, the Hungarian Short-Haired Pointer (Vizsla) is not immune to tartar and its accompanying problems: bad breath, oral diseases… Brushing the teeth with a toothpaste for canine use is necessary at least once a week, but even more frequent brushing is recommended, even daily.
The claws of the Hungarian Short-Haired Pointer (Vizsla) they are particularly hard and therefore do not wear out much, even though he is very active. Therefore, they need to be trimmed every month or so to prevent them from getting in your way or even hurting you. In any case, as soon as you hear them rubbing on the ground when you walk, it's time to take care of them.
Finally, another good habit to adopt is to check their fur, ears and pads after every long walk in nature, to detect any cuts or scratches, parasites, thorns…
Take care of a Hungarian Short-Haired Pointer (Vizsla) not particularly complex, but knowing how to do it well allows you to be more efficient and at the same time minimize the risks of hurting your pet, or even hurt her. Therefore, it may be a good idea to learn them the first time from a professional groomer or vet. In any case, it is advisable not to wait to accustom your pet to these different manipulations, so that you accept them without hesitation throughout your life.
Food
The Hungarian Short-Haired Pointer (Vizsla) fits very well with commercially available industrial dog food. Both the choice of products and the definition of the given daily ration must be determined by age, the health status and activity level of the animal.
The latter can vary from one period to another., particularly in the case of individuals used for hunting. Servings must be adjusted accordingly, to ensure that the animal always provides all the energy it needs. However, this applies both up and down: for example, for a hunting dog, it is essential to return to normal portions once the hunting season is over, otherwise, overweight individuals may become overweight.
Obesity is not common in the Hungarian Short-Haired Pointer (Vizsla), but no dog is immune, especially if you've been spayed or neutered. A good habit is to weigh it every month. If the weight gain is confirmed or even accentuated by the following measures, it is necessary to visit the vet. In effect, only the vet can reliably determine the cause (it may not be related to your diet or activity level, but it may be caused, for example, due to illness or reaction to drug treatment), and propose a solution based on it.
What's more, it is better to divide your daily ration into at least two meals: this makes digestion easier and reduces your propensity to claim, since then he knows he will be fed again later in the day.
It is also important to avoid giving your pet food intended for humans randomly, although it is very imploring when its owners are at the table, for example. In effect, unless you are sure that this is so, it is likely not meeting your nutritional needs and, therefore, cause more harm than good, especially, of course, if it contains dangerous foods for the canine population.
Last, like any of their races, the Hungarian Short-Haired Pointer (Vizsla) must be able to quench their thirst at will and have permanent access to fresh water.
Use
Historically, the main function of Hungarian Short-Haired Pointer (Vizsla) it was hunting. Can be used as pointers, runners or recuperators and are capable of working on all types of terrain, without hesitation to get into the water if necessary. What's more, can attack both animals and game birds, acting alone or in tandem. However, it's unusual to find her performing in a pack. In any case, its hunting qualities continue to seduce and be used throughout the world today.
They also allow you to shine in certain canine sports disciplines, starting with the crawl, obedience or agility.
His popularity can also be explained by his attachment and energy, which make him a wonderful companion dog for a sporty family. A caretaker adept at hiking, on horseback riding or mountain biking you will find in him a tireless companion always ready for new adventures. On the other hand, its need for activity makes it much less suitable for the most sedentary or elderly.
Last, the Hungarian Short-Haired Pointer (Vizsla) it is also an effective watchdog, whose very protective instinct compensates for a less impressive size than that of some of its races also capable of fulfilling this role.

Character and skills
While it is true that Saint Germain Pointer has traditionally excelled on the show floor, is primarily a hunting dog and, as such, has the character expected of a working animal. This breed is easy to train and loves to be kept active and given a task to do. They must have a “soft mouth”, meaning they do not hurt or harm the prey they retrieve. They also tend to work in packs, which means that they normally get along with other dogs. Although it is undeniable that they have a natural instinct to chase small animals, anecdotally they get along well with the small pets in their house that they have been introduced to since childhood.

Health
Unfortunately, there is no specific information on the health of the Saint Germain Pointer, and to date there have been no studies on the breed. A working dog, it is generally accepted as a hardy breed. El dueño prudente estarÃa atento a estas posibles condiciones de salud:
Hip Dysplasia
Hip scoring should be performed by responsible breeders to ensure that the small population of the Saint Germain Pointer stay healthy.

Ear infections
When the ear canal becomes clogged with a buildup of smelly debris, an infection is likely present. Ears may also be red, hot and sensitive. Affected dogs tend to shake their heads and rub their faces against the ground. Infections occur mainly due to the proliferation of bacteria and yeast, although they can also be due to a foreign body, como una semilla de hierba dentro del canal auditivo o ácaros del oÃdo.
Grooming
The short coat of the Saint Germain Pointer does not need to be brushed more than once or twice a week. Toenails may need to be trimmed every few months, particularly if you don't walk on hard surfaces. The breed's clear claws make claw clipping easy, since the cut is visible, making it more avoidable than in dogs with dark pigmented claws.
The Most Important Grooming Duty An Owner Should Not Neglect, es el mantenimiento de una buena higiene de los oÃdos. Los oÃdos deben ser limpiados cada una o dos semanas con un limpiador de oÃdos para perros. Owners should also ensure that the ears are dry inside and out after being exposed to water..

History
The precise origins of the Auvergne Pointer are not clearly determined. This dog has been around for many years and was most likely developed in Auvergne, more precisely in the Cantal region, in central France.
Already in the seventeenth century, to satisfy your needs, French hunters tried to cross and develop short, smooth-haired Pointer breeds, comúnmente conocidos como “pointers” (the term “pointer” comes from the vocabulary of hunting and means “point”).
The Braque Francais is considered his ancestor, pero sus propios orÃgenes son inciertos. In any case, It has been proven that it was the origin of the development of different races of Braquesdesarrolladas en todas las regiones del paÃs, some of which gained in popularity, as the French Pointing Dog - Gascogne type or the French Pointing Dog - Pyrenean type . In Cantal, la crÃa selectiva dio lugar alAuvergne Pointer.
Según algunos historiadores, the Auvergne Pointer is one of the oldest, with the exception of his own Braque Francais. However, contradictory assumptions have been made about it.
Según Jean Servier, former president of the Club of French braques and author of the World Dog Encyclopedia 1971, it is a cross between the Braque Francais, the Gascony type French Pointer and the Pyrenees French Pointer.
Aunque los orÃgenes delAuvergne Pointer remain relatively unclear, la mayorÃa de los especialistas coinciden en cualquier caso en que su desarrollo se remonta a principios del siglo XVIII.
During World War II, like many french breeds, the Auvergne Pointer was threatened with extinction. In effect, the conflicts and the occupation of part of the French territory by Germany wreaked havoc on the canine population: muchos de sus representantes fueron asesinados o abandonados cuando sus propietarios ya no tenÃan los recursos para ocuparse de ellos.
The prestigious and influential British Kennel Club took much longer to do the same, since he had to wait until 2016.
In 1987, se publicó un primer artÃculo sobre esta raza de perro en la revista norteamericana Gun Dog Magazine. However, we don't know exactly when the first ones were imported Auvergne Pointer to the United States. In any case, probablemente se retrasaron y se limitaron en número. In 2016, se publicó un nuevo artÃculo en la misma revista sobre la investigación de los orÃgenes del establecimiento de este perro en el paÃs, after fans surveyed Nelson Hooe, uno de los primeros propietarios comprobados en el paÃs.

Popularity
In France, the popularity of Auvergne Pointer is relatively stable in the long term, and has been at least since the early 1990s. 1970: there are around of 350 entradas por año en el Libro de OrÃgenes Franceses (LOF). Este número a veces alcanza un máximo de alrededor de 500 births per year, how was the case, for example, in the mid 70. On the other hand, nunca ha caÃdo duraderamente por debajo de 250.
Although the Auvergne Pointeres relativamente popular en su paÃs de origen, it has only been exported and distributed to some extent outside of France, incluso en los paÃses fronterizos con Francia.
In Switzerland, for example, las estadÃsticas de la base de datos Amicus muestran que su población se limita a unos treinta individuos.
In Belgium, it is just as discreet, como lo demuestra la ausencia de crÃa en el suelo nacional.
The same observation can be made, for example, in Italy, donde las estadÃsticas del Ente Nazionale della Cinofilia Italiana (ENCI) show an average of about ten registrations per year during 2010, or again in Spain, where the Royal Canine Society of Spain (RSCE) only count one birth between 2014 and 2019.
The Auvergne Pointer has a robust and noble appearance. His shapely body is well aligned, with a straight constitution – your back, from the tip of the shoulder to the tip of the buttock, is the same length as its front legs – and a long chest that descends to elbow level, midway between the withers and the lower part of the front legs. It is robust, strong but without heaviness, which gives it an elegant look. Their solid constitution gives them the stride and the resistance for which they are highly appreciated in hunting..
Both the front and back legs are straight, well aligned with the body, and the thighs and forearms are well muscled.
The tail stands quite high, carried horizontally and reaches the point of the hock. It can also be shortened at birth, and then barely exceeds 15 a 20 cm.. However, this practice, call “tail docking”, está prohibida en muchos paÃses, including France, Belgium, Switzerland and Quebec.
The head of the Auvergne Pointer is well balanced. Seen from the front, the muzzle is square and its length is equal to or slightly less than that of the skull. Finish off with a pretty strong black nose, que domina las mandÃbulas sólidas de igual longitud. What's more, the upper lip covers the lower.
Positioned slightly toward the back of the skull, las orejas son caÃdas, flexible and with a slightly satin texture.
The eyes are dark hazel, oval and quite large. They give this dog an expressive look, frank and gentle.
The fur of Auvergne Pointer consists of a sparse undercoat and short, smooth topcoat with a glossy appearance that is softer than other Braques. It is mottled black or grayish white, more or less present. The head is black, but the muzzle may have the same white markings as the body – a white border may also be present on the top of the skull, prolonging the color of the muzzle. Black fur can also tend to be blue, which is why these dogs are rarely called Auvergne Pointer blue.
There are also charcoal-colored dogs. However, this variety is rare and is not recognized by the breed standard.
Sexual dimorphism is not very pronounced in these dogs: el macho es ciertamente en promedio unos pocos centÃmetros más alto que la hembra, but it's not particularly massive.
Character and skills
Even today, the Auvergne Pointer is most often bred to become a hunting dog. However, his affectionate character, Gentile, patient and smart also makes them great pets, and they are becoming more and more popular as such. In fact, fit perfectly into family life, they usually try to please their humans and are very loyal to them.
They are especially fond of children of all ages and are affectionate and playful provided they are not excessively boisterous. However, it should never be forgotten that a dog of any breed should never be left alone with a small child without adult supervision.
It is not only the humans in his family that he Auvergne Pointer inclines to appreciate. In effect, aunque a primera vista sea tÃmido con los extraños, quickly treats them like new friends, especially since it is totally devoid of aggression. Ready to greet newcomers with affection, may even tend to follow an intruder instead of defending your home or territory, which makes him a poor caretaker. However, is very capable of sounding the alarm when he hears something unusual.
In any case, He is not one of those who barks from morning to night, expressing yourself only when you have a good reason to do so: to raise the alarm, to express boredom, to seek attention, or to express any anxiety.
Otra excelente manera de permitirle gastar su energÃa es entrenarlo para uno o más deportes caninos. Their intelligence and willingness to cooperate are particularly well expressed in agility and obedience tests.. More broadly, imply that it is quite easy to train him for all kinds of activities and teach him different tasks.
By the way, if your pilgrimages take you to pass near a water space where you can swim safely, She loves water – he is even a good swimmer – and generally appreciates taking a dip as soon as you get a chance to.
The Auvergne Pointer is known for his intelligence and the sweetness of his temperament. He is also eager to please his owners, so it reacts positively to training: learns quickly and is generally an easy dog ​​to train.
However, it is important to use the right methods. In fact, its sensitivity means that the use of coercion or even punishment is strongly discouraged: tendrÃa todas las posibilidades de socavar la confianza que normalmente otorga a su amado amo. On the other hand, positive dog training methods, based on repetition, the gratification and rewards, are very effective in taking full advantage of the great potential of this animal.
In fact, su naturaleza obediente y cooperativa hace que no sea difÃcil entrenarlo para la caza, sports with dogs or any other task. This is all the more true since he is always happy to share activities with his master: unlike many races, prefers to work in complicity with his master rather than independently. Therefore, It is an ideal option for those who like to spend time educating their partner and working alongside him, whether for hunting or dog sports. For example, is an excellent candidate for agility and obedience competitions. Your sense of smell can also be used to track events, but its relatively slow speed limits its potential in this area.
For things to run smoothly, it is important to establish rules at an early age about what you are and are not allowed to do. They are not particularly stubborn by nature, and in fact they are quite obedient, but they can also do it when they are more flexible and responsive: this will make it easier and faster for them to assimilate the rules. What's more, los asimila con mayor facilidad porque son los mismos de un dÃa para otro y entre las diferentes personas de la casa: no se trata de que el caballero autorice hoy lo que la señora prohibió el dÃa anterior.
What's more, teaching your dog to stay alone should be one of the priorities in the education of a Auvergne Pointer. In effect, como le gusta la compañÃa y es propenso a la ansiedad por la separación, must get used to enduring absences from his family without reaching a state of discomfort.
It is also beneficial to start learning to call back soon, so that it can be allowed to unleash when conditions permit, limiting the risk of becoming deaf to his master's commands when he sees or smells a small passing animal.
You also have to be careful to quickly channel your tendency to chew what is within your reach., directing him to the right toys. This avoids the risk of damage and injury to the animal.
Finally, like any dog, we must not wait to offer you quality socialization from your first months. By letting you meet all kinds of humans, congeners and representatives of other species, but also face a multitude of different situations in various places, we make it a comfortable companion in all circumstances, performed in its environment and among humans.
Health
The Auvergne Pointer is generally a robust dog with few health problems. Your life expectancy of 12 a 15 years is quite honorable given its size.
What's more, they are quite flexible in terms of weather, capaces de hacer frente tanto al calor del verano como al frÃo del invierno de los climas templados o mediterráneos. If you are required to sleep outside when temperatures are low, a niche is necessary to provide shelter. In any case, their fur is not adapted to polar temperatures.
However, like any dog, are more prone to certain diseases, which in this case are :
hip dysplasia, whose appearance may be favored by a hereditary predisposition, and that corresponds to a malformation of this joint. Leads to pain, lameness and osteoarthritis when the animal ages;
dislocation of the patella, which is a malformation of the knee joint that causes the kneecap to slip out of position. Probably hereditary, causes a more or less severe limp. Puede requerir cirugÃa en los casos más graves, although success is not guaranteed;
progressive retinal atrophy, which corresponds to a degeneration of the retina and is of hereditary origin. It affects both eyes and causes a progressive loss of vision in the dog;
La dilatación-torsión del estómago, que afecta principalmente a las razas con un pecho grande y se produce cuando el estómago se pliega sobre sà mismo, bloqueando la evacuación de los gases e interrumpiendo la circulación sanguÃnea. It is fatal if a vet does not intervene quickly;
otitis, una infección de oÃdo favorecida por la forma colgante de las orejas.
It is also important not to neglect the protection against fleas, worms, ticks and other undesirable pests, renewing your child's antiparasitic treatments throughout the year, whenever necessary. This is especially crucial for an individual who spends a lot of time, either hunting or in other activities.
Grooming
As his undercoat is not very thick and his top coat is short, the fur of the Auvergne Pointer requires little maintenance: a short brushing session with a soft bristle brush once a week is enough to keep you healthy, shiny and soft to the touch, especially since your hair loss is not very pronounced.
Durante los perÃodos de muda, in spring and autumn, it is much more pronounced, so more frequent brushing is necessary. However, 2 or 3 veces a la semana deberÃa ser suficiente. After brushing it, el abrigo puede ser pulido con un paño suave y limpio para hacerlo aún más brillante.
It is neither necessary nor advisable to bathe your dog too often: 3 or 4 times a year is usually more than enough, unless, claro está, that has gotten very dirty. In any case, siempre se debe usar un champú destinado a los perros.
Dangling ears require more attention, ya que su forma las hace propensas a las infecciones de oÃdo. Therefore, it is important to examine them weekly and wipe them with a clean, slightly damp cloth to avoid the risk of infection.
Your eyes need some attention too. The weekly maintenance session should be an opportunity to examine them, y limpiarlos suavemente con un paño húmedo si hay suciedad.
Looking at its claws, la actividad fÃsica regular que satisface su necesidad de niveles bastante altos de actividad le permitirá normalmente limarlas de forma natural. However, this does not mean that you should not check from time to time that this is the case. On the other hand, if your age or a health problem prevents you from being active enough, they generally need to be trimmed every 6 u 8 weeks to avoid being too long and bothering you, or even breaking and injuring you.
The first time, a visit to a professional groomer can be a good way to learn how to care for a Auvergne Pointer, in order to operate efficiently and safely, while limiting the risks of hurting you. For its part, you will be calmer and more cooperative during care if it is part of your daily routine from a very young age: therefore, it is recommended to expose it to delicate handling from an early age.
This is all the more true since it is also wise to get used to examining it after every long time spent outdoors. (especially after a hunting trip, for example), to detect possible injuries, thorns, parasites, spikes…

The Ariège Pointer it is a quiet breed of dog, although sometimes stubborn, which is common among hunting dogs.

History
The Ariège Pointer is a French dog breed that comes from, as its name implies, from the department of Ariège, located on the Franco-Spanish border.
There are different theories about its origins.. However, the most common theory is that it descends from the ancient French Pointer, that was crossed in the 19th century with Braques of southern stock, with white and orange coats to give it more lightness and activity.
What's more, looks a lot like the white and orange dogs painted in Jean-Baptiste Oudry's paintings (1686-1755), famous for his paintings of hunting scenes. Therefore, It does not seem illogical that cynologists have attributed this dog to him as an ancestor.
Despite its official recognition by the F.C.I. (International Cynological Federation) in 1955, the second half of the twentieth century was almost fatal for the Ariège Pointer. However, some Ariège hunters continued to use it, which prevented the breed from completely disappearing.
In 1989, a team of fans of the breed decided to dedicate themselves to its survival, after having noticed that there was no more Ariège Pointer registered in the LOF (Libro de los OrÃgenes Franceses) from 1964.
The Club du Braque de l’Ariège was thus created the following year, with the mission of contributing to the safeguarding and promotion of this breed, but also to centralize all the information that makes it possible to identify the specimens that would be found in France in the breeders, hunters or other fans of this dog.
The operation was generally a success. Like this, the increase in births meant that in 1999, less than 10 years later, the symbolic milestone of the 50 Ariège Pointer listed in TFO. The trend has continued, since today there are more than 350 specimens in the LOF, many of whom have won prizes in beauty or hunting contests.
However, the breed has spread relatively little outside its homeland, since most breeders and owners of the Ariège Pointer are located in the south-west of France, although there are also some scattered throughout the rest of the country.
Internationally, the Ariège Pointer was officially recognized in 2006 by the UKC (United Kennel Club), one of the leading canine organizations in the United States. However, the UKC is an exception, since the other large national canine organizations do not yet recognize the breed. It's still very difficult, yes not impossible, acquire a Ariège Pointer outside france.

His hair is short and shiny and his head is long, angulosa, without a very pronounced stop.
His tail is low and long, in contrast to his ears, that are thin and well placed above the eye line.
Finally, the eyes of the Ariège Pointer they are oval shaped, dark amber or brown. Her frank and gentle eyes will easily seduce humans who cross her path.
Character and skills
The Ariège Pointer it is a quiet breed of dog, although sometimes stubborn, which is common among hunting dogs. He is also a very intelligent dog.

The Ariège Pointer it is also very resistant and adapts easily to all weather situations, though still more at home in the cold than in the tropics.
Very sensitive and affectionate with his master and his relatives, is docile, Gentile, easy to train, and therefore it is an excellent pet.
May be in contact with other animals, in any case congeners or other species of the same size, especially if you've gotten used to them from a young age as part of puppy socialization. On the other hand, its innate hunting instinct could lead it to attack small potential prey. Therefore, it is better to avoid sharing your daily life with a rabbit, a rat or other game that awakens their deep stalker nature.
It is also for this reason that it is recommended to keep it on a leash when in town. On the other hand, if your education is not lacking, it's conceivable – and even desirable – let it go when in the field, so it can be spent, as this is necessary for their physical and psychological well-being.
In effect, the Ariège Pointer remains a lively, independent dog who needs daily exercise and is happy to take part in long walks or bike rides. It is a recommended breed of dog for an athletic owner, since you can't settle for a few relatively short outings to relieve yourself.
They can live in the city, but only if they have a garden. The latter does not make it less necessary to offer him long walks, all days, ideally in the middle of nature. What's more, if you live in the city, it is advisable to accustom it from a young age to crowds and traffic, for example to avoid encountering a dog that runs behind cars.
Education
The Ariège Pointer has an innate aptitude for hunting, but he still deserves to be educated as soon as possible to consolidate his knowledge and teach him the fundamental commands of hunting (stop, stand up, report…).
Whether it is intended to be used as a working dog or simply as a companion dog, it is recommended to train it with patience and delicacy, since it is endowed with great sensitivity. If you don't, you risk getting upset and discouraged, and restoring trust between the owner and his animal is then a long and arduous task.
In any case, either during your education or at any time after, the owner must be calm, attentive and balanced to curb the very dynamic burning of your partner.

Grooming
A weekly brushing of the dog's coat is sufficient, since the Ariège Pointer does not need much maintenance.
