History

The origins of the English Setter they are quite confusing, but they seem to date back to the Middle Ages. It is believed to be descended from the Oysel Dog and ancient Spanish flagger breeds that were brought to England.. The breed settled around 1860 thanks to the work of Edward Laverack and after R. Purcell Llewellin, two breeders who established a selective breeding program to stabilize English setters.

Laverack bred a practically pure line of very willful and elegant dogs. Llewellin crossed the Laverack dogs with the English Setter and then with him Setters Gordon. From these crosses a strain especially competent for hunting emerged.

It was at this time that the English Setter began to be recognized internationally. Came to france, and more generally to continental Europe, in 1880. But, was not up 1963 when the breed was officially recognized by the FCI.

Its great hunting qualities make it the most widely used pointer in France today.. He usually wins national and international hunting contests. But, it is also appreciated for its beauty, and is featured frequently at dog shows. So, we distinguish between lines of beauty and lines of work, depending on the use made of the animal.

Its coat is flexible and smooth, with fringes on the ears, the chest, legs and tail. Five coat colors are allowed: black and white, Orange and white, lemon and white, brown and white and tricolor.

The tail is of medium length, carried low and placed on the back.

    ▷ female size: Of 61 to 65 cm.

    ▷ Male weight: Of 18 to 23 kg

    ▷ female weight: Of 18 to 22 kg

Character and skills

The English Setter he is a very friendly partner, even with children or other dogs. But, living with small animals requires early socialization so you don't see them as prey.

It is an excellent companion dog, easy to live with and completely devoted to his family, which he will cover with affection. Intelligent, friendly, Tender, quiet, playful and faithful, will brighten up your home. Sensitive and very attached to his master, can't stand loneliness.

By your selection, it's mostly a hunting dog, so you need activity. A house with a garden in the country is ideal for him. But, an urban life in an apartment is possible, as long as it provides you with enough opportunities to exercise: two outputs of 30 minutes a day is a minimum. He will also be happy to accompany his master on bike rides or jogging. In any case, It is not a recommended dog for an elderly or very sedentary person.

Last, hunting instinct is generally highly developed in the English Setter. If it is intended for this use, it is advisable to adopt a puppy from a line of work. In fact, beauty lines are selected with aesthetic criteria and, Therefore, are potentially less effective. But, in any case, it is a breed that tends to dig and chase prey: fencing your ground is strongly recommended to prevent any dog รขโ‚ฌโ€นรขโ‚ฌโ€นescape.

Education

Very intelligent, the English Setter has a good aptitude for dressage. But, need a gentle education (although not without firmness), because his sensitivity does not admit brutality. Brutality would make him fear.

Like any hunting dog, learning to remember will be essential so that you do not get carried away by your instincts.

Health

The English Setter is in fairly robust overall health.

But, their floppy ears make them prone to canine ear infections, especially because they are dogs that do not hesitate to get into the water. It can also be affected by skin diseases such as atopy.

Last, this breed has a predisposition to congenital deafness, thyroid problems or hip dysplasia. The latter being partially hereditary, it is advisable to check the health of the stallions with the breeder of English Setter.

Grooming

The English Setter requires weekly brushing. During the molting period, which takes place twice a year, should be even daily. It also, her fringes of hair should be trimmed to maintain her signature look. This operation can be done at home or entrusted to a dog groomer.

Under normal circumstances, it is not necessary to bathe the dog. But, when hunting, the English Setter does not hesitate to get into the water, sometimes muddy: in this case, it may be convenient to provide him with a dog shampoo to help him regain his whiteness.

It also, you have to check your floppy ears after every outing, especially if the dog has been swimming, to avoid any ear infection.

History

The Parson Russell Terrier it is a small to medium sized terrier. It's a hunting dog.

Although this breed of dog is very young in modern dog breeding, the Parson Russell Terrier is very close to the old and classic type of a terrier in character and appearance. Terriers form a large group within dogs. Its name is derived from the Latin ยซTerraยป for the earth. So they were dogs for work on the land. The first evidence is given by the ancient Romans. Already in the Middle Ages terriers are described in detail. His homeland is in the British Isles. Terriers existed throughout the country. In the stables they kept small vermin at bay. Even the big rats were not a problem for them. The hens, pigeons and rabbits protected them from martens and foxes. To keep chasing foxes, the terriers were sent to the trench.

The Parson Russell Terrier of today are made exactly for this purpose. They should and could get the fox out of the hole. At the same time, they had to run with the fox hunts in the pack, that is to say, they had to be able to follow the gallop of the hunt. All of these tasks require enthusiastic commitment, special courage, independent thinking and the so-called sharpness of predators.

The Parson Russell Terrier turned into a versatile hunting dog, it's not only suitable for underground work. In the 19th century the English shepherd Jack Russell he was a successful hunter, rider and above all breeder of Fox Terriers. In his long life as a breeder he greatly increased the performance of the Fox Terrier. They were now fit for all individual hunting tasks, they could work in the pack and in the den at the same time.

In Australia, only with the help of their dogs could a plague of foxes be contained. To thank this, these dogs were finally named after their breeder, the Parson ยซJack Russellยป Terrier. They were and are physically and mentally raised for work, no show dogs. So breeders and lovers of this terrier for a long time refused to join the system of modern pedigree dog breeding., because they did not want to see dogs evaluated primarily on their appearance and feared the negative consequences of the show business on the fitness and health of dogs. This has done this breed of dog very well..

Seriously raised, these are dogs that were largely spared from hereditary diseases and extremes in breeding. He "Jack Russell Terrierยป had a wide range of sizes from the beginning, rather short-legged and rather tall. Since performance was decisive, such refinements had no role. Now two breeds of dog have been made from the ยซJack Russell Terrierยป and the two lines have separated in breeding. The little one is still called Jack Russell Terrier, It has a height at the withers of up to 30 cm and is provided a little longer. The Parson it is a little taller and with more legs and in its rather square shape. Parish is another word for "pastor" in English.. So two breeds of dog are named after one person, el pastor Jack Russell. Both dogs are a credit to the Shepherd. In 2001 the new race Parson Russell Terrier was officially recognized.

Physical characteristics

The Parson Russell Terrier It is suitable for the working dog, Active, agile, built for speed and endurance. It gives the impression of balance and flexibility as a whole.

You can have hair smooth or hard if it is thick and dense to protect it from the inclement weather, like cold and damp. Its color It can be entirely white or predominantly white with brown spots, lemon or black or any combination of these colors, preferably stains should be limited to the head or the birth of the tail.

It measures to the cross between 33 and 36 cm., their weight approximate is of 8 to 10 kilos to be slightly larger in proportions that the version of the Jack Russell Terrier, although it should be noted that taller specimens exist as "Jack Russell" in some work clubs in the United Kingdom and the United States., due to what these clubs do not form part of the FCI and therefore, handle different to the recognized standard registers and accepted worldwide by the 84 member countries.

Character and skills

Parson Russell a fearless and friendly Terrier.

This breed was bred to hunt, Chase and corner foxes in its burrow, therefore, they carry in their genes, and if this activity does not form part of the life of your puppy, We recommend that, they should be exercised daily intensely since they are dogs with a huge dose of contained energy.

Perhaps its character lively and friendly has caused it to be one of the dog breeds preferred by many people as a pet.

But in reality it is a true working dog and we should not forget that if a specimen of... becomes part of our family..

Leave running, ride a bike, launch frisbee or ball - and teach him to bring them back-, It will help to strengthen the bond between the Parson and his owner while it educates, enjoys and is exercised.

History

The English mastiff It is a breed of dog of large size type trotting and English origin.

The history of this dog goes back to the year 55 to. c., time when the legions invaded Great Britain and to his surprise had to face an enemy that had two curious assistants, two dogs with striking characteristics.

One of them was strong and robust both body and members, with a large head and a short but powerful jaw.

That dog is possibly the ancestor of the Bulldog, and part of the current Bullmastiff.

The other dog had dimensions that were scary, looked more like a lion than a dog. This specimen was a direct descendant of the Mastiffs 'Asiriobabilonians' who had traveled to England by the Phoenicians five centuries before the Roman invasion.

Before this beanpole, the 'molossians of Epirus' which the Romans brought with them as their war dogs, they looked like Chihuahuas...

So once conquered 'Britain', the Romans, they expanded his army with several copies of those giant and fearful dogs who called "Pugnaces Britannici" and they used them, mainly in typical shows of the time...

They faced these dogs with huge wild beasts in the arenas of circuses, there they participated in bloody fights against bulls, bears and other dogs. As well, they were used as guardians of herds, bodyguard, protectors and companions.

The English Mastiff or Mastiff, is descended directly from those dogs.

A Mastiff arrived in America aboard the Mayflower, name of the ship that transported the so-called "Pilgrims" from England (United Kingdom), to the coast of what is today the United States of America, in the year 1620.

They were the first settlers, in settling on the coast of Massachusetts, forming the Plymouth Colony, and with them the English Mastiff.

There is documentary evidence that the English Mastiff first arrived in America on the Mayflower., but the standardization of the breed in United States did not occur until the end of the 19th century.

By the end of the second world war, the mastiffs were almost extinct in England. But, with the flow of imports of United States and Canada, the breed resurfaced and today its existence is not in any danger in England and has gained much popularity in North America..

Physical characteristics

This is a race of powerful composition, burly, wide skull and the head usually has a square appearance.

Of size It must be very large and give the impression of power and strength, viewed from any angle. The body must be massive with great width and depth, especially between the Forelegs, cause these are well separated. While no height or weight have been specified for this race, the approximate height of 70 to 80 cm and the weight of 80 kg to 90 kg.

His hair is short and glued to the body and color may vary, while its snout, ears and nose, around the eyes is always black.

This is a particularly large dog that requires a correct diet and exercise. Normally live in 10 to 12 years.

Different colors are possible, for example, sand color, striped, brown or gray. Unfortunately the human tends to extremes and the mastiff was not spared from this.. So it has been raised bigger and heavier in recent decades.. His head has become increasingly massive and many folds have also been made. Giants could no longer reproduce naturally, they could no longer walk properly, his life expectancy was dramatically reduced.

The Mastiff breed is a combination of greatness, dignity, and bravery; calm and affectionate towards his owner, but capable of protecting.

He is a well-mannered dog but you need enough field to stretch his long body. It is an extremely loyal breed and, Although it shows no excessively, It is true to his family and is very good with children.

But, It can be very jealous for the protection of owners and should be handled sensibly, as it is exceptionally powerful and can be difficult to control.

Seeks proximity to its humans. It is a reliable protector for them. In case of acute threat to your humans, will try to keep danger away from them by facing the attacker with his body, but it won't attack him anymore. His calm and serene temperament makes him a loyal and child-friendly companion, who forgives everything. It gets along very well with other pets.

English Mastiff Education

Keep in mind that in an adult mastiff the leash is only symbolically a control. The mastiff easily has the power to maneuver the other end of the line at will.. But you don't want to do it, at least if you have enjoyed the basics of a good education. The Mastiff is very easy to train. Only their stubbornness has to be broken here and here a consistent softness is needed.. He wants to follow his master and caretaker and he does it very reliably. It is an elementary duty of the owner of a Mastiff to pay attention to a consequent education already in the puppy. This alone and not the strap makes wonderful walks in nature possible, that together with this four-legged friend become a balm for the soul of agitated people.

Care and health English Mastiff

Caring for a healthy mastiff is not problematic. Brushing the coat once a week is enough.

Typical diseases

Gigantism with copies of more than 90 kg, sometimes up to 120 kg, unbalances the entire natural dog building plan. Serious gait damage is just one consequence, and life expectancy is also greatly reduced. Bad habit of strong folding of the head and body often leads to chronic inflammations. As in most large dogs, we see hip or elbow dysplasia. Eye and heart disease can occur more frequently with mastiffs – the rule is always: the more serious, the greater the risk.

Nutrition / Food

You need a lot of high quality food. Especially in the growth phase you need a professional nutrition plan. It is helpful to have a feeding bowl in a high position to counteract the risk of stomach twisting. You should always pay close attention to their weight.

Characteristics "English mastiff"

Coexistence is important that you have with your new friend. Before considering the acquisition of a dog of the breed "English mastiff" you know certain factors. Not all breeds of dogs are apt to live in an apartment, you must take into account his character, their need for exercise, their interaction with other pets, their care and if you have small children, their level of tolerance towards them.

The life expectancy of the English Mastiff

Breeding errors, especially the tendency to gigantism, they have cost this dog, once extremely robust, many years of his life expectancy. Before they were 12, Today are 7 – 9 years.

Buy an English Mastiff

Buying a mastiff should be long-term and well-considered. You should carefully check if you have all the requirements to be able to spend many wonderful years with this giant.. If you are looking for a puppy, you must pay special attention that the dogs are not too massive. One should wonder about ancestors, its appearance, their illnesses, your age. Also to get a Mastiff with a stable character, you should just look directly at a serious breeder. For animal welfare reasons one should refrain from buying puppies from parents of more than 90 kg. Very occasionally there is also a mastiff in the animal shelter. Puppies raised in serious conditions cost around 2000 EUR.

    History

    The name of "English White Terrierโ€ was invented and adopted at the beginning of 1860 by a group of breeders willing to create a new breed of dog, inspired by the typical working Terrier but with greater hearing acuity. This premature intention was born later the Fox Terrier, the Jack Russell Terrier, the Sealyham terrier and, later, in United States the Boston Terrier and the Rat Terrier.

    With the passage of time (and not much) the authorities of the Kennel Club they decided that the English White Terrier, should be considered as a race and was admitted, but the dog's myriad of genetic problems led to its popularity plummeting...

    All these vicissitudes led to the life and history of the English White Terrier, it will last very littleโ€ฆ at 30 years of appearing on the stage of the Kennel Club, the English White Terrier had fallen into extinction. But, before disappearing was crossed with the English Bulldog thus generating the first dawn of the races Boston Terrier and Bull Terrier.

    In fact, working and small Terrier breeds have existed at least since the end of the century in United Kingdom 18. These dogs have always been very variable in size and shape, dogs could be found Terrier with a height at the withers that ranged from 25,4 and 31 cm., with floppy ears or straight ears, smooth coat or hard hairโ€ฆ

    With the rise of the show ring over the years 1860, enthusiasts of the new races that were emerging, they made possible by naming them and improve them, the Terrier were the first of their lists. From there working Terrier dogs were born that we know today as Fox Terrier, Jack Russell Terrier, Parson Russell Terrier and Sealyham terrier.

    In the vortex of creation and claim of new dog breeds, the different breeding groups competed ruthlessly, sometimes they put different names for the same breed, it was also common practice to make up stories about racesโ€”totally- fictitious they advertised as part of a campaign by declaring a new strain of a race, or a new race, that gave certain personal distinction and cachet to the breeder and of course... his sales went up. That was the real meaning...

    Physical characteristics

    In 1894, for as long as he English White Terrier finally disappeared from the scene of the canine clubs (who was always more of a companion pet and show dog, as a working dog) a scholar of the race, Rawdon Lee Briggs, noted that โ€œthe last specimens seen in London, they were of typeToyโ€, small dogs that were not above the 7 kg, with a rounded skull, or the so-called 'apple head', which would be due to an effect of inbreedingโ€. According to the official standard, the English White Terrier weighed between 6 and 9 Kg.

    Lee described the English White Terrier as "the most fragile and delicate of all our Terrier. He is not the typical companion of an athlete, but it is an ideal dog to live in a nice house, in which he receives a considerable amount of pampering and careโ€.

    Though 1894 the dog still existed, people linked to the canine world could see before their eyes that the possible extinction of the English White Terrier it was already a harsh reality... But lamenting the decline of the race, they consoled themselves with the thought that perhaps they should give rise to new races (assuming the inevitable)โ€ฆ, and they thought developing breeds better adapted to the needs and comforts of the historic present.

    There was, a male specimen of the breed English White Terrier born in 1876, He was very famous, was owned by Alfred Benjamin, it was called 'Silvioโ€™. Today it is considered a reliable and privileged sample of the breed..

    In 1877, Silvio was the champion of an event of โ€˜Conformation Showโ€™ (Demonstrations of conformation, also known as a demonstration race), is a competition, orโ€ฆ an event in which a judge familiar with a certain breed of dog, individually evaluates each specimen and determines which dogs are purebred or, which conform to the breed standard. Silvio I weighed nineteen kilos.

    This exhibition was held at theRoyal Agricultural Hall" in the year 1878, in what we know today as the l "Business Design Centreโ€ which is an exhibition center located in the Islington district, in London.
