History

The Pembroke Welsh Corgi (Corgi) It is a small dog native of Great Britain. He has served for centuries as a shepherd, still considered one of the oldest dogs of Great Britain. There is another Welsh race, the Cardigan Welsh Corgi of very similar characteristics, Although of larger size and long tail.

There are different theories about the origins of the Pembroke Welsh Corgi. It is believed that the two varieties Corgi they are descended from the dog of the Visigoths who introduced the Vikings in Wales to 9th century. Or the Cardigan may be the oldest variety, introduced the Celts into Wales around the year 1200 (name Corgi comes from the Celtic word "corgi" which means "dog").

According to other sources, the Pembroke variety was brought to Wales by Flemish weavers in the 12th century. Independently, What was the origin of the breed, the Pembroke Welsh Corgi was developed in Pembrokeshire) and it was used to guide cattle mordisqueando its paw and barking. The varieties Pembroke and Cardigan They interbred freely until the 1970s. 30. From then on, breeders attempted to emphasize their differences.

Another theory posits that the two varieties of Corgi have a common origin which is the cross between a Shetland Sheepdog and Sealyham terrier.

This race was used for grazing. The poor peasants of the time were allowed to pasture in the open fields of the Crown, this absence of fences put the cattle at risk of getting lost or dispersing and made a fast dog necessary, clever and who could move smoothly between the livestock. The Pembroke is this kind of dog, that pushes the cattle by the heels. His short height allowed him to run under cattle without being kicked.. It has evolved as a domestic animal, and it is the favorite breed of the English Royal family. It is a constant companion and an excellent guardian.

History

The Australian Cattle Dog It is a dog originating in australian. In comparison with other races its history is very well documented, because it is a relatively recent.

By the early 19th century the cattle industry in Australia had grown out onto the plains and onto the vast expanses of land. The cattle had become wild and rude beasts, the Smithfields, until then their dogs of grazing, already frequently lost control of livestock. These dogs were overcome by the heat and the distances they traveled to move the cattle, they also tended to bite and bark a lot, because they knew how to graze sheep and not cattle, and sometimes with horns, they were injured. This problem existed in both Australia and the United States, and while Americans were inventing cowboys (Cowboys) Australians invented dogs jeans.

In 1830 a cross of Smithfields took place with Dingoes, the primitive dog that lives in Australia and killed the cattle. This, be regarded as a pest at that time, He went on to be the best contribution to this race. It was believed that dogs more adapted to the climate would be obtained, to work and quieter. Were dogs of red hair, silent but biting even more. This breed was unsuccessful and died.

In 1840 another farmer with the same concern but different approach, imported a couple of Bearded Collie blue-haired scotland, were dogs that barked much. The offspring of this couple crossed it with the Dingo and got a silent working dog with either blue or red fur.

Other races introduced to this cross: the Dalmatian in order to ensure that dogs will also work with horses and more faithful and reliable for masters. The Kelpies black or straw color, Australian foresee dogs; to reaffirm their skills in the jobs that had been lost with the crossbreeding of Dalmatians. The influence of Dalmatians I create puppies with white fur at birth and that changes color at three weeks of age from a smooth coat to another gray. Of the Kelpie straw colored markings on legs, chest and head. The end result was an active dog, compact, with the caution of Dingo, the reliability of a Dalmatian, the skill of a Collie and Kelpie, and a unique coat coloration in the world.

In the early 1890's Mr.. Robert Kaleski became interested in these dogs; as he lover of them and at the same time journalist decided to give to know this race and make it achieved in 1903 the Kennel Club of Wales accepted the first standard of the breed. He firmly believed in the important contribution of Dingo blood to herding cattle and eventually introduced Dingoes to crossbreeds to maintain the efficient heeler style..

In November of 1988 It was formed in Australian Cattle Dog Club of America in California. The 1 May th 1980 they petitioned the AKC license (American Kennel Club) and the 1 September of that year they were awarded.

In all these years Australians livestock herders have been gaining ground both at work and in the heart of the masters. They are known with many names or nicknames: ยซBlueysยป (azulitos), ยซBlue Dogsยป (blue dogs), "Healers" (taloneros), "Queenlad Heelers" (taloneros Queens), "Blue Heelers" (Blue taloneros), "Red heels" (Red taloneros) and they are even mistakenly called "Dingos".

Physical characteristics

The Australian Cattle Dog they are a moderate breed in all respects. They must be balanced, symmetric, robust and compact. Judging this race we must seek a harmonious dog.

We often hear: "Must have a big head"; This is fine if the body is in line with the head. The standard of the breed does not require a large head but a head according to the body, or of a heavy bone structure, If disagrees with the rest of the dog.

The Australian Cattle Dog he's a working dog, created strong, compact, symmetric, with the ability and willingness to carry out their assigned task no matter how difficult. Its combination of substance, power, balance sheet and strong muscle condition, leads to great agility, strength and endurance. Both too big and fat dog, as one too small and thin they would have serious faults. We must see the dog altogether. A large head does not make a good dog, not a very crude bone structure.

Remember: BALANCE SHEET, SYMMETRY AND MODERATION.

As its name says, It's primary function and no one matches, It is the control and management of livestock in open or closed extensions. Always alert, extremely intelligent, look-out, brave and reliable, with a total devotion to duty, making it the ideal dog.

A dog that is gentle in nature, outside of obese condition, will lose points. They are athletes and they should always give that appearance.

As far as the physical aspect is concerned, we point out the following...

  • The head It is strong and it must be proportional to the body of the dog, to maintain its overall conformation. The wide skull is slightly curved between ears. The mejilla5 are muscular, Neither crude nor prominent, strong jaw. The lips are clean and tight. !.nose is always black. A gluttony for measuring head is from the tip of the nose, passing between the eyes, stop ear tip; through the skull back through the eye to the tip of the nose; They must be measured an equilateral triangle.
  • The eyes: they are oval shaped, medium-sized, Neither prominent nor sunken, they should express State of alert and intelligence, are dark brown in colour.
  • The ears: they should be of moderate size, preferable to small to large, broad base and pointed tip, or round as spoon, Neither plicate of bat. Placed separate head inclined outwards. They must be thick, fleshy and covered with weight on the inside. The teeth would be strong, with equal separations, with grip, bite and scissors, the lower incisors just before close and playing at the incisive superiors.
  • The neck: is very strong, muscular, It allows you to turn the head to the body, It must not be loose or have hanging skin.
  • Front rooms: the forearm should join the shoulder almost 90%. There is a tendency in the short forearms that does not allow you to the correct length needed. They must be just as the cross to the elbow to elbow on the floor. It must not exceed the width of the chest to the elbows. The creation of exaggeration is a problem in the race.
  • Proportions: The dog must be 10% longer than high, many are unfortunately very short and it subtracts them movement and flexibility.
  • Hindquarters: strong, widths, muscular. The rather long rump to slant, long thighs, wide and well developed. Seen from the back should be parallel and rights, not very close to each other, not very separate.
  • The legs: round, with fingers long and together. Hard bearings, short and strong nails.
  • The tail: placed moderately downward, following the contour of the thigh and rump of length until reaching the hocks. When rest with a slight curve. Movement or shaking the tail should be raised. At no time should the tail be carried beyond a vertical line from the root (or coiled). The tail should have abundant fur.
  • When it is in movement and walking: the action is real, free, flexible to tireless, and the movement of the shoulders and forequarters is in unison with the strength of the hindquarters. The rapid and unexpected movements ability is elementary. When they trotting legs tend to join the ground as the speed is on the rise.
  • Weight and height: The male can be measured in 46 cm to 51 cm., and weigh between 20 and 26 kg. The female can be measured in 43 cm to 48 cm., and weigh between 18 and 23 kg. Here there is almost no problems, because height requirements have been maintained with ease.
  • Fur: The hair is soft, with double layer being the shortest denser.; the hair of the longest layer is closed, each hair is, straight and hard, Why which is waterproof. On the hind legs the coat is long where join the thighs. In the head (even within the ears) up to the front of the legs the coat is short. Around the neck, longer and thicker. A very short or very long hair will be a lack. Curly hair in wavy is evident in the very adult females.
  • Colors of the mantle:
  1. Blue: the color can be blue, graying blue, Blue mottled with or without other brands. Allowed in brands are, black, Blue or straw in the head, preferably symmetrical. Paws straw halfway and extending to the front to the chest and throat, and in the jaws. The Undercoat may be straw in the body where it stands not out to the blue upper layer. The black marks on the body are not desirable.
  2. Red: the color should be very smooth throughout the body, including the bottom layer (either white or cream), with or without red marks on the head. Symmetrical marks are desired. The red marks on the body are permitted but not desired.

There are two main problems in color. The blue dogs tend to black and the second are the Red dogs without freckles. The latter is more than a problem, and one of the reasons why the reds are less dominant than blue.

Character and skills

The Australian Cattle Dog are very versatile and tireless workers who adapt various activities. They have been used as search and rescue dogs., bombs and drugs detectors, service and of course dogs, livestock grazing.

One Australian Cattle Dog not the ideal dog to lock him in a yard. These dogs require working and living together with people or at least the presence of someone to her around in the absence of their day-to-day work. Isolated in the courtyard of a house in the city the edge to create problems.

The doctor. Harvey, Veterinary Australia, It has two of these dogs and also attends many more as patients. The comments: ยซThe main problem that I see and that far exceeds others, is the behaviour of these animals, everything is due to boredom and lack of exercise. Since they are very good guardians, people leave them in their backyard taking care of the House, totally ignoring their needs for exercise and mental stimulation".

One Australian Cattle Dog can live in an apartment or on a ranch 20 hectares, the problem is not the space; It is the exercise and the time the owner puts into his dog. If no is given a job the dog, the same is going to invent:

  • Garden design: holes, plants cropped or out of place.
  • Interior design: biting furniture tapestry, Chew chairs, dig a way out of the street, spreading garbage around the House, etc.

    • Another very common problem in cities is the natural tendency that these dogs have to protect their family and their home.. Even without training, they defend their territory from outsiders, including the milkman, the postman and anyone who is not familiar

    Signs are commonly used in some rural places in the United States warning that the place is guarded by Australian Cattle Dog, to avoid that strangers come. If there are children running, screaming, any dog grazing naturally want to corner to put them under control; with biting and barking. If their children have guests it is preferable to keep the dog, because it will not allow their masters to be touched, even by game.

    Social coexistence with children must be at an early age, dogs are taloneros by nature to instinctively chase other animals, however these dogs are very adaptable and can learn to suppress some of their natural inclinations. They are a perfect company for the family and their children. Once you know the dog and controls, their obedience will surprise your guests.

    The doctor. Harvey also believes about coaching: "He Australian Cattle Dog it is very manageable; as a coach and scholar of the behavior, He catalogued it as the most adaptable dog who had worked with. However these dogs do not respond well to the method in which force them.

    After several months of trying in vain to train a female with punishment straps, correct and other, opt for more motivational methods and the results were excellent. The confidence and enthusiasm can be seen in the position of the tail. A dog with a drooping tail, probably this suppressed or bored, a raised tail denotes a dog active and attentive.

    Therefore the coaches that without the knowledge of the race, using traditional methods, such as the drawing with the collar of punishment; they invariably consider them fools, irritable and difficult. Coaches using positive methods, they believe that they are very attentive and willing to learn. Kalesky once said: "And Australian Cattle Dog should we remember a typical Dingo, and this is very important if we want to describe the race.

    Before you choose the puppy we must stop to think for what they want to this dog, as a pet, as a guard dog, dog of grazing, dog for beauty exhibition, etc. Now let's see how they behave all the puppies in the litter. The one we see who fights all his brothers, would serve as a guard; the largest and that always sleeps because it is where most ate, would be great as a pet or for beauty, the more chiquitos resembling whirlwinds have learned to make an extra effort to obtain their food fought against the elderly, they would be ideal for the job. But there is no written rule the nature of the dogs molded it in a large percentage owners, in this way one very aggressive can be very manso and vice versa. Always take into account the opinion of the breeder.

    Faults occur in all races, without them there would be no challenges for breeders. It is important to be attentive to the faults to overcome them. The faults are only an obstacle in our attempt to raise the perfect dog. Look at your dog critically, see the faults and strive to rectify them. Don't want to pretend that they there is no because there is not a perfect dog.

    The loyalty of Australian Cattle Dog will keep him next to his master, more than anything in the world, They must be with the master, accompany you and assist you in everything. The easiest way of making them happy is having them on your side. If you leave the lane, It can be that the dog will bite the heels, But if you are the ideal type to have an Australian, This morderรก you heart.

    Australian Cattle Dog – Health

    All dogs have the potential to develop genetic health problems, just as all people have the potential to inherit a particular disease. Run, do not walk, from any breeder that does not offer a health guarantee on puppies, to tell you that the breed is 100 percent healthy and has no known problems, or tell you that your puppies are isolated from the main part of the home for health reasons. A reputable breeder will be honest and open about the breed's health problems and the incidence with which they occur in their lines.. The problems observed in the Australian Cattle Dog include hip dysplasia, patellar dislocation, portosystemic shunts, progressive retinal atrophy (PRA) and genetic deafness.

    Careful breeders screen their breeding dogs for genetic diseases and breed only the healthiest, best-looking specimens., but sometimes mother nature has other ideas and a puppy develops 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 they died of.

Other tools to keep on hand are a comb and undercoat rake.

    The Australian Cattle Dog you will only need occasional baths if you get very dirty. Check your ears to make sure they are clean and dry and there is no evidence of infection.

    Content

    The Shorthair Collie is a breed of dog originally developed for grazing. It is a variety of the Border Collie. Some canine organizations, to the copies of Longhair and shorthair, classified them as variations of the same race.

    History

    The early history of Smooth Collie, like many breeds of dogs, It is largely a matter of speculation. The most common opinion of the breed is that they are descended from a population of sheepdogs brought to Scotland by the Romans in the 5th century. (See more information about the breed ยปCollieโ€).

    The modern history of both Collie, the Smooth Collie and the Rough Collie, It began in the reign of Queen Victoria, He turned his attention in the dogs of the shepherds and ordered that they bring to their balmoral castle in Scotland, some specimens. In 1860 years. At that time, the interest of the Queen, made the breed fashionable Smooth Collie. Thus began the transformation of the farm dog breed, similar to modern Border Collie, Pet highlighting its aesthetics and preparation for dog competitions, sample, for example.

    Shetland Sheepdog

    The Shetland Sheepdog it's really friendly, lovely with children, intelligent and loyal.

    Content

    History

    In the 19th century, in the North Shetland Islands of Scotland, the ancestors of Shetland Sheepdog, often called Sheltie, they helped the flocks of sheep and sounded the alarm when strangers approached their farm.

    But, the exact origins of this dog are as obscure as the mist that covers its homeland. Its resemblance to him Rough Collie supports the theory that it descends from these dogs, believed to have been imported from Scotland. But, Colleys breeders and various specialists refute this claim.

    For them, the Sheltie would have developed in isolation on these islands, and would be the result of different crosses. The races most frequently cited as contributors to its creation are the Icelandic Sheepdog, the Yakki de Groenlandia (an extinct race), the Cavalier King Charles spaniel, the Pomeranian and the Border Collie.

    In any case, at the beginning of the 20th century it was often crossed Rough Collie, which reinforced the resemblance between the two races.

    What is certain is that its small size was the result of the most rational selection work. Like the "Shetland pony", known for its miniature size, locals gave preference to animals that needed little food, a rare commodity in this difficult region.

    Although the Shetland Sheepdog it was especially appreciated in its native islands for its qualities of a sheepdog and alert, it was mainly her appearance that got her out of there. Visitors to England in the late 19th century were delighted with the small size and texture of the dog's coat. Shetland Sheepdog, and soon they wanted to take something home, which they did. Soon, some locals decided to start breeding for export, selecting breeders for height and coat. More and more individuals set out to conquer Britain and then the rest of the world. But, there were neither breed standards nor consultations between the different breeders, so the race developed in directions sometimes very distant from each other.

    Things changed after the official recognition in 1909 by the Kennel Club, the leading organization in Great Britain. The name chosen was simply the name by which the dog had been known until then., the Shetland Sheepdog. This recognition helped to stabilize the breed by establishing a well-defined framework in which the different breeders had to work..

    But, the chosen name was not to the liking of the colleys breeders, who pressured them and won their case in 1914: then it was officially renamed as Shetland Sheepdog.

    In the meantime, the first specimens had reached the United States and, already in 1911, the American Kennel Club (AKC) also accepted it. Was not up 1948 that the United Kennel Club (UKC), the other reference organization in the United States, he did the same. It was followed by the Fรฉdรฉration Cynologique Internationale (FCI) in 1954, as well as by all other important institutions, including the Canadian Kennel Club (CCC).

    Although the Shetland Sheepdog is now common worldwide, paradoxically it has become rare on its home island, where it has been replaced by the Border Collie for grazing.

    This decline can also be seen in the rest of Britain. These may include, Annual Kennel Club enrollments have dropped from more than 1300 less than 800 in less than a decade.

    The phenomenon is also occurring in the United States, where he now occupies the position 25 (of a little less than 200) on the AKC popularity rankings, based on the annual number of people registered in the organization. In other words, has lost a lot of ground compared to the decades of 1980 and 1990, in which he was almost constantly among the 10 first, reaching a maximum of 40.000 records in 1993. The fall is slow but steady, since at the beginning of 2010, was still in the 20 first positions.

    The "father" race Shetland Sheepdog o โ€œSheltieโ€ as they are often nicknamed, they are the Border Collie.

    Physical characteristics

    The Sheltie they have a double mantle, What makes this breed peleche much more than other dogs. Long hair covering the thick and soft layer base, is repellent to water, while the base layer provides relief from hot and cold.

    There are three main colors: Sable, It ranges from the Golden to mahogany; Tri-color, formed by the black, White and Tan, and blue mirlo, composite grayscale, white, black and Tan.

    black and white: it is less common but still acceptable.

    Sand: the best-known color, dominates over other colors. The shadow Sabre, or mahogany can sometimes be confused with the Sheltie tricolor because of the large amount of dark shading in their coats. Another name for him Sheltie "shading", is trifactorado sable and white. This name comes from the mixture of a tricolor and a sable and white. Another acceptable but less common color is the Sable Blackbird., that it can sometimes be difficult to distinguish between the regular sable after puppyhood. The Sable merle has patches of dark brown on a light brown background compared to the black and grey blue Merle.

    There are other two colors that are a bit rare, which are unacceptable in the ring. The White Color-headed (majority of white with the head "normally" marked), It is the product of two dogs crossed white facotrados. Double Merle, the product of the crossing of two Sheltie blue merle, they can be crossed but have a high incidence of deafness or blindness than other colors.

    The ideal height at the cross, in males 37,5 cm.. The females. 35,5 cm.. One greater diversion of 2,5 cm above or below these measures is regarded as highly undesirable.

    Character and skills

This breed gets along very well with children if they are raised with them from a young age.; However, its small size makes it easy for a child to accidentally harm them, This monitoring is necessary. Well consider bringing an adult Sheltie for a House with young children, they may not be compatible.

    Some Sheltie tend to show a similar to a Terrier personality that tends to be hyperactive, and always ready, However this temperament is not sanctioned in the breed standard. Some may be shy, but this temperament is specifically discouraged by the standard. The trend towards shyness, It can be reduced with proper socialization. The average Sheltie is an excellent watch dog, giving alarm barks when a person is at the door or pass a car on the street.

    The herding instinct is strong in many Sheltie. Love to chase and pasture including, squirrels, ducks, pigeons and children. The Sheltie love run in large open areas.

    They normally love to play. They are better with a sensitive owner, but firm. The Sheltie is, first and foremost, a smart pastor and love to keep them busy, Although his level of activity, usually, It coincides with the level of its owner. As they are very intelligent, they are highly trainable. Lack of exercise and intellectual stimulation, It can lead to undesirable behaviors, including excessive barking, phobias and nervousness. Fortunately the annoying behaviors may decrease largely by an hour of exercise to make the dog with its owner.

    in your category, the breed dominates Dog Agility competition. They also look at obedience competition, Flyball, Grazing, Tracking and proof of talent.

    It is a very intelligent dog, according to Dr.. Stanley city, expert on animal intelligence. The Sheltie is one of the brightest dogs occupying the position number 6 in the Ranking of 132 evaluated races. His research determined that an average Sheltie could understand a new command in less than 5 repetitions and would obey the command the first time the 95% of the times or more.

    Health

    Similar to the Rough Collie, There is a tendency to inherit malformations and diseases in the eye. Each puppy should have his eyes examined by a qualified eye veterinarian. Some lines may be susceptible to hypothyroidism, epilepsy, Hip Dysplasia, or skin allergies. The life expectancy of the Sheltie is between 10 and 15 years, Although some in some it may be more, and in others may be less.

    Von Willebrand disease is an inherited bleeding disorder. The Sheltie breed, affected dogs, as a general rule, they do not live long. The Sheltie carry type III Von Willebrand, which, It is the most severe of the three levels. There are DNA tests that were developed to find the disease in dogs Sheltie. It can be done at any age and will showcase one of the following results: affected, carrier or affected not. The Sheltie may also suffer from hypothyroidism, It is the low functioning of the thyroid gland. Clinical symptoms include, loss of hair, on low weight and faintness.

    Although small breed dogs are unlikely to be affected by hip dysplasia, It has been identified in some specimens of Sheltie.

    History

    The Rough Collie is one of the Collie breeds medium-sized and long-haired who was born in Scotland in the early 1800.

    As he Rough Collie as the Smooth Collie , they are descended from a variety of grazing dogs from Scotland and Wales.

    • The variety of Scotland, It is characterized for being a strong dog, large, aggressive, raised to care for flocks of sheep in the Highlands, an all terrainโ€ฆ
    • The variety of Wales, However, was a small dog, agile, home and cuddlier, and also pastor of goats.

    From the crossing of these two varieties of shepherd dogs are born the precious Collie who we call today Rough Collie and Smooth Collie.

    After the industrial revolution, owning a dog became fashionable, people began to acquire copies and began to expand and cross with other breeds. Y, there is a theory that says that those first Collie, were crossed with a Borzoi (Russian Hunting Sighthound) in order to obtain a more โ€œnobleโ€ head (finest), what is today one of the true characteristics of the Rough Collie. But in reality, is not known conclusively if it crosses with the Borzoi It took place on the main stream of the race.

    But fashions change as the wind blows... Like for example, When the Queen Victoria acquired a Border Collie, After seeing one in the Balmoral Castle, the Collie they became something like a fashion item.

    The issue is that, the Collie they were distributed around the map and continuous reproduction in order to improve the breed for exhibitions, He carried that drastically changed the appearance of the dogs, in the decade of 1960, the Collie was much higher than today.

    At the first dawn of the breed the dogs were more robust and resistant, they could travel great distances throughout the day and conserve energyโ€ฆ

    Although many theories try to explain them, Unfortunately, the exact origins of the Collie are veiled in darkness. The race has been the subject of much research and speculation. The origin of the word "Collie" is as uncertain as information about the origin of the breed. In the century 18, the natural home of Rough Collie I was in the Highlands of Scotland lands, where it had been used for centuries as a herding dog. Dogs were bred with great care in order to assist their masters in grazing and the monitoring of their flocks.

    In the UK the Rough Collie no longer used for cattle grazing, After having been replaced by the Border Collie. Although in the United States and several European countries, there has been a revival in the use of Collie like a working and performance dog, already not are seen as old.

    The Club Collie of America was founded the 26 in August of 1886, What makes it one of the oldest clubs in the race. The original club's goal was "the furtherance and improvement of the breed of Border Collie.". From there the first official standard of the breed was drawn up Collie. The celebration of the centenary of the club took place in 1986. Y, Although a lot of time has passed and many things have changed... the objective of the Club remains the same. The Collie Club in England dates of 1881 (Although officially, The American club is oldest...).

    The Rough Collie was exhibited for the first time in 1860 in the Birmingham, England, at the dog show ยซScotch Shee-pdogยซ. In 1879 the first Rough Collie it was imported to England. And from there are the pillars of the race.

    With the turn of the century, this breed was already in a state of continuous development. This dog continued to flourish in England. As a result of imports, the race progressed rapidly between the years 1900 to 1920. These dogs built the foundation on which the Rough Collie of today and paved the way for the rise of the great and famous American dog kennels in the years 1920 and 1930.

    One of them and perhaps the one that catapulted the Rough Collie, He was the author Albert Payson Terhune devoted almost all his life to these dogs. Albert Payson Terhune (21 december 1872 until 18 february 1942) was an American author, Collie dog breeder, and journalist. The public knows him so much for his novels related to the adventures of his beloved Collie, as for its famous hatcheries "Sunnybankโ€, from which the bloodlines of specimens of Rough Collie who live among us today.

    Physical characteristics

    One of the characteristic features of the Long-Haired Collie is its delicately pointed head and snout.. It resembles a wedge decline gently from the ears until the black nose. The snout is rounded and never square. The eyes are of medium size and Pacific way. The ears are supposed to be semi erect, folded in the upper third. In appearance they are very similar to the dog Shetland Sheepdog, but larger.

    Regarding the coat of hair of the Rough Collie, the admitted colors are:

    • Sable color: Where sable or grey goes from Pale to mahogany.
    • Blackbird: the blue Merle, It is a mottled grey.
    • Tricolor: It is mainly Tan.

    All have white areas, in the neck, the back of the legs, and usually the tip of the tail. Some may have white fringes on the face. The American Kennel Club supports white, where is the dog predominantly white with spots of the sable color, Tricolor and blue Merle, in the head and patches in the body as a.

    It has dual layer, the woolly, dense subpelo, It is covered by a layer of hair is long and rough exterior with a remarkable necklace around the neck, feathers on the legs, a skirt in the abdomen, and a steering wheel in the rear quarters.

    The outer layer needs brushing frequent, careful to keep it free from spikes and thorns, he has long hair and it looks like Velcroโ€ฆ Shearing it is very damaging to the skin and some do not grow back a significant amount of hair after being shaved.

    The desired size and weight vary between the breed standards of the different kennel clubs., but trying to balance the measures... a Rough Collie male measures 55,8 to 66 cm in height to the cross, females tend to be a 5 shorter centimeters. Males weigh in 20 to 34 Kg and females are generally lighter (of 2 to 5 fewer kilos).

    Character and skills

Although they are medium-sized to large dogs, It adapts very well to life in small apartments, because of his quiet nature.

    Like many dogs grazing, the Rough Collie can be very vocal (robberโ€ฆ), and in some cases it is difficult to correct them. They are very loyal and excellent with children, provided have been well socialized and trained. They are always eager to learn and respond better to a gentle hand. They enjoy human company and the warmth of home.

    To rememberโ€ฆ The character of โ€œLassieโ€ created by the British author Eric Knight was a Rough Collie, It is probably the most famous dog in the world, fictional character who participated in various films, TV series and books for years.

    That character inspired screenwriter Hugo Butler in the movie โ€œLassie Come Homeโ€, under the direction of Fred M. Wilcox, in the year 1943. Film that definitively launched the beautiful Rough Collie.

    Health ยซLong-Haired Collieยป

    All dogs have the potential to develop genetic health problems, just as all people have the potential to inherit a particular disease. Run, do not walk, from any breeder that does not offer a health guarantee on puppies, to tell you that the breed is 100 percent healthy and has no known problems, or tell you that your puppies are isolated from the main part of the home for health reasons. A reputable breeder will be honest and open about the breed's health problems and the incidence with which they occur in their lines.. The Collie you are prone to a host of health problems. Here is a brief summary of what you should know.

    Collies can be affected by a number of genetic health problems, including multiple drug sensitivities due to a mutation in the multidrug resistance gene (MDR1). Dogs with this mutation can have serious or fatal reactions to a number of common drugs., such as preventive ivermectin against heartworm and loperamide, a human antidiarrheal agent that is sometimes used in dogs. Detecting these diseases not only in the parents of your puppy, but also in your dog, it's a life-saving need. The test is simple and only requires a cheek smear.; information on how to test your dog can be found here.

    Eye problems are also a serious concern in the breed. One of the most intractable is progressive retinal atrophy (ARP), but luckily the gene for detection was recently identified and a genetic screening test will be available as soon as this year, after which all breeders should have ARP clearances on all their breeding dogs.

    The eye abnormality Collie is a group of mild to severe eye disorders. They are present at birth, and can be detected in puppies between five and eight weeks of age. Your puppy's breeder should examine the eyes of all dogs in the litter before selling them.. Have a Certified Veterinary Ophthalmologist regularly examine your Collie's eyes. Reputable Collie breeders don't just check their breeders' eyes, but also those of all puppies offered for sale. Do not buy a Collie from a breeder who has not examined puppies' eyes or does not offer a certificate of their eye status.

    Unfortunately, the Rough Collie they can also be affected by a number of health conditions for which there are no screening tests. These include epilepsy, as well as a condition called bloating, in which the stomach expands with air. This can become the most serious condition, gastric torsion, if the stomach twists on itself, cutting off blood flow. Gastric torsion suddenly hits, and a dog that was fine a minute can die a few hours later. Watch for symptoms such as restlessness and gait, babeo, pale gums and lip licking, try to vomit but without bringing out anything, and signs of pain. Gastric torsion requires immediate veterinary surgery, and most dogs that have bloated once will bloat again. That means it's wise to opt for the procedure known as "gastric torsion.", which will prevent the stomach from twisting in the future.

    Not all of these conditions are detectable on a growing puppy, and it is impossible to predict if an animal will be free of these diseases, so you need to find a reputable breeder who commit to raise healthier animals possible. Must be able to produce independent certification that the dog's parents (and grandparents, etc.) have been examined for common defects and considered healthy for breeding. That's where health records come in..

    Careful breeders screen their breeding dogs for genetic diseases and breed only the healthiest and best looking dogs, but sometimes mother nature has other ideas and a puppy develops 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 they died of.

    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 Collie 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.

    Grooming ยซLong-Haired Collieยป

    Both varieties of Collie have double layer, which means they have a thicker, softer inner layer and a thinner, flatter outer layer. The Rough Collie has a beautiful, voluminous coat that seems to need a lot of grooming, but it's not like that. Thorough brushing every one to two weeks will keep the coat healthy and tangle free. The coat of the Smooth Collie it's a piece of cake. Brush it weekly with a rubber brush or soft brush to remove dead hair. Your Collie should not need a bath more than once a month..

    The Rough Collie they go through a heavy shedding twice a year, floating dumb call. During this time, brush daily to keep all hair down under control. The Smooth Collie doesn`t blow his coat, but throughout the year he loses more hair than he Rough Collie.

    The rest is basic care. Trim nails as needed, usually every few weeks. It shouldn't take so long that you can hear the click on the floor.. Brush your teeth daily to improve general health and breath.

    History

    The Czechoslovakian Wolfdog It has its origin in the crossing experiments between the "Carpathian Wolf" and the German Shepherd carried out in the former Czechoslovak Socialist Republic from 1955 under the supervision of the SR. Karel Hartl, a renowned Czech cynologist and breeder. The scientific objective of these experiments was to determine the characteristics of these hybrids. (physical appearance, behavior, utility, fertility…), while the military tried to create a breed with the strength of the wolf and the docility of the dog, that could be used as an attack dog.

    The first births took place in 1958 at the border guard kennel in Libejovice, in the south of the country. Brita the wolf and the German Shepherd Cezar z Brezoveho Haje gave birth to 5 Puppies: Brent, Berta, Bono, Betty y Bessy.

    Betty was selected to continue the line at the Libejovice kennel, while his sister Berta was sent to the Samorin kennel (now Malacky) with the same goal. Their pups were used as patrol dogs by border guards, confirming that these hybrids were healthy, functional and fertile.

    After this initial success, the Brita Wolf was able to mate again with a new male German Shepherd named Kurt z Vaclavky. Like this, in 1960, Defender, Bigan, Trophy, Bill and Bima were born in the Libejovice kennel. The male Bikar was chosen to be sent to the Pohranicni kennel in Slovakia to continue this second lineage.

    The experiment stopped at 1965, not without some success: hybrids were able to reproduce, socialize with humans and be trained for different tasks. At the end of the experiment, 16 of these dogs remained in the care of the army, While 18 were given to civil breeders.

    Then new lines were created, as..:

    – Astra (female german shepherd dog) and Argo (Carpathian wolf male) in 1968;
    – Lejdy (female Carpathian wolf) y Boyar from Schotterhof (male german shepherd) in 1972;
    – Urta with the Guardian Guard (third generation hybrid female) and Sarik (male Carpathian wolf) in 1974;
    – Xela with the Guardian Guard (third generation female hybrid) and Sarik (Carpathian wolf male) in 1983.

    Name "Czechoslovakian WolfdogยปIt seems to have become common to designate these hybrids already in the decade of 1960, but it wasn't until 1982 that the efforts of Mr.. Karel Hartl were finally officially rewarded when this new breed was recognized by the Czechoslovakian Dog Breeders Committee, the canine organization of reference in the country.

    It developed quite quickly and to 1991 not less than 1552 Czechoslovakian wolfhounds were entered in the national register of pedigree dogs.

    In 1999, the Czechoslovakian Wolfdog was recognized by the Fรฉdรฉration Cynologique Internationale (FCI).

    In the news, are mainly found in Central Europe, but its popularity is growing rapidly in various Western European countries such as Italy, Germany, Spain and France. In France, for example, little more than 3.000 representatives of the breed have registered with the LOF (Book of French Origins) between 2010 and 2016, and the trend is increasing. His growing renown leads him to the gates of 10 Most popular dog breeds in France.

    On the other hand, the Czechoslovak Wolf dog has not actually crossed the English Channel: it is only one of the breeds recognized by the Kennel Club, the British organization of reference, and the FCI only has one approved kennel in the whole country.

    In United States, the AKC (American Kennel Club) partially recognizes it from 2001: their representatives can participate in competitions organized under the aegis of the organization, but they cannot register in the breed dog registry. On the other hand, the UKC (United Kennel Club) fully recognizes it, and has been doing it since 2006. It also, in 2011 an official breed club was established (el Czechoslovakian Vlcak Club of America). There are currently some 200 specimens in american territory.

    Character and skills

    The Czechoslovakian Wolfdog he is very devoted to his family, including children. But, their rather dominant nature can be problematic for young people. In any case, it is important to socialize him from an early age and never leave a young child alone with a dog, regardless of race.

    He is also sociable with his companions and other pets who live under the same roof., since he is used to their presence relatively early. On the other hand, woe to the cats, small dogs and other rodents that are unfamiliar to you and would have the bad idea to venture into your territory, or that they will meet during a walk: his hunting instincts were then all chances to regain the advantage.

    It also, he is as affectionate with his entourage as he mistrusts strangers: there is also necessary an education and socialization of the puppy started from an early age to avoid any later problem.

    Having a highly developed sense of hierarchy, He must face as soon as possible with his "herd leader", who should show their dog his place in the family hierarchy . The Czechoslovakian Wolfdog he is a dog that cannot stand loneliness, greatly preferring to live in the company of their pack, that is, his family. You are very likely to be unhappy if you have to be alone for long periods of time and are at risk of running away to join your family, or to feel excluded from the "pack" and lose confidence in his master.

    It also, the Czechoslovakian Wolfdog it is a very durable and active breed of dog, able to accompany his master even over very long distances that can exceed even those of a marathon, and whatever the weather conditions. In fact, being able to exercise daily is necessary for your physical and psychological well-being, and allows to avoid the risk of damage caused by the dog . It is an ideal companion for a sports lover who would like to, for example, jogging with your dog , go hiking with your dog or even ride a bike with your dog.. On the other hand, even more than for any other race, your handler should make sure to always be out front and thus show your dog who is the โ€œleader of the packโ€ .

    On the other hand, a person who prefers to spend his free time in front of a screen or immersed in a book is exposed to some difficulties if he thinks about adopting a Czechoslovakian Wolfdog …

    It also, by needing space, the latter is not a recommended breed of dog in apartments : it is much better to have a house with a garden. It is not uncommon to see him playing and sleeping there whatever the weather: it's not very hard, and is able to perfectly withstand bad weather. On the other hand, it is recommended that said garden be perfectly fenced, to avoid the risk of the dog escaping and wandering on public roads.

    The Czechoslovakian Wolfdog very little, if he barks. But when it does, it is impossible not to notice: similar to his ancestors the wolves , its howl is loud and can be heard over long distances. Daily, when you need to express yourself, opt for other means, like moans and grunts .

    Like this, this loyal and active dog will make a firm human companion happiness, sporty and available, but it is not recommended for people who have never had dogs before or who are often absent. In fact, the majority of failed adoptions are due to the fact that the human has not known how to impose himself as "leader of the pack" and / or has not been sufficiently available and active for his partner.

    Last, It should be remembered that this recent breed of dog is still under construction, so excessively fearful or aggressive subjects may appear.

    History

    The White Swiss Shepherd Dog a breed of dog is pastor of Swiss origin. Share origins with the German Shepherd, but has been recognized provisionally as a breed apart by the FCI.

    The 3 in April of 1899, the first dog German Shepherd, as we know it today, It was officially registered. This dog was a completely white male which was used by ranchers and sheepherders for grazing because it was very easy to distinguish it from the wolves.

    The first news about a hatchery White Swiss Shepherd Dog are earlier than the year 1900 and its origin is found in Alsace-Lorraine, to be more exact in the Royal Court of the Habsburgs. In their enclosure they had a kennel of purebred white shepherds.

    After the creation of the race German Shepherd, all colors were accepted. It was in the first decades of the 20th century, When were the white copies excluded, Therefore, persecuted and almost wiped out in Europe.

    Back in the years 70, Switzerland had imported the first specimens of white shepherds, while in Germany - as we said above- as these dogs did not meet the standard of the German Shepherd as we know it today, White shepherds were almost wiped out.

    The first Club of White Swiss Shepherd Dog was founded in the decade of 1970 in United States. For which reason, the race returned to appear in Europe. At first in Switzerland and Denmark, and later in Germany. Little by little, European Cynological societies began to open their stud books for the White Swiss Shepherd Dog.

    A dog born in 1966, it was the first White Swiss Shepherd Dog which was registered in Europe, in Switzerland.

    The breed was recognized in Switzerland of 1991, followed by the Netherlands in 1992. Czech Republic, Austria and Denmark, They also recognized the breed.

    Switzerland, Despite the low popularity of this breed, He recovered the race and also assumed the same motherhood, so in the 26 in November of the year 2002 the Federation Cynologique Internationale acknowledged - on a provisional basis- to the White Swiss Shepherd Dog, as a separate breed.

    Physical characteristics

    The White Swiss Shepherd Dog, to the naked eye and as far as the physical, He is a German Shepherd in all rule, It is only slightly more elongated and less angular.

    According to him standard, the White Swiss Shepherd Dog, is a dog from size medium, powerful, muscular and robust. According to the standard, males must have a tall cross ranging from 60 to 66 cm., females are slightly smaller their stature is about 55 to 61 cm..

    It has the ears large, straight and triangular. The tail scimitar-shaped, is low and at rest reaches the Hock.

    It is the eyes they are fed and slightly oblique tend to be of color dark brown or purplish-brown fire.

    And perhaps, The most outstanding feature of this beautiful dog is its white mantle of double layer and medium long length. Dense and well separated hair.

    The colour of the mantle is white. The nose, the lips and pads are absolutely black.

    In the year 1933, the white color of the coat was pointed out as a defect that had to be eliminated by the German Shepherd Club of Germany, of America and Canada.

    There are even theories, in the news, that continues to hold the white color is due to a physical defect, to a pathology but that type of theory lacks foundation and the first proof of it, It is a very healthy dog.

    Its white color comes from a simple recessive gene that both parents must be carriers to continue the color, that is the reality.

    Character and skills

    The German Shepherd, not only the color of the mantle but also in its character differ.

    While it is a dog of great temperament he displays never nervous, But if attentive and vigilant. It tends to be suspicious with strangers but never aggressive.

    It is a dog friendly, very Intelligent and learn with ease.

    Itร‚ยดs fair to his family and -as we said- he can be cautious with strangers, but should never show shy or fearful behavior and less aggressiveness. Some people think that the Arctic Wolf mixed with the breed, and that's where his caution comes from, but that only a legend.

    It is a balanced dog, very good watchdog and has even been trained as a guide dog on occasion.

    It is a great companion for everything physical exercise that is its scope, loves to play with sticks, balls, run…

    While its origin speaks of a shepherd dog, today despite the fact that in some countries it is still used in such tasks, is widely accepted as a companion dog.

    It adapts perfectly to the home, fond of children but remember that need exercise like all dogs, This always necessary if we want to keep happy balanced our puppies. Let's not forget that he is a working dog that needs physical and mental challenges.

    The White Swiss Shepherd Dog gets along well with other dogs and, as well, It is usually good in agility competitions, search, rescue and obedience. They are also used as assistance dogs.
