History ยซAfghan Houndยป

Also know as Tazi It is a dog coming from Afghanistan.

The origin of this breed it is possible that you are in the race Saluki, that would have reached Afghanistan through Persia. Already in Afghanistan, the Saluki I would need a coat more appropriate for the hostile climate of the mountains of this country, developing the long coat which characterizes Afghan Hound current, and with which today seduces so many people who acquire dogs of this breed without taking into account that they need very special care.

The origin of the Afghan Hound it is ancient, with the first records approximately in the year 1000 to. C., in the area where it is currently Afghanistan. It was used as a hunting dog.

The antiquity of this breed has not yet been corroborated by anyone, but the earliest records date from the 19th century, which does not mean that they did not exist before, but that Afghan nomads didn't bother in the race record for writing. The first illustration made of a Afghan Hound It is the year 1813. This race came to England in 1920 and didn't succeed, It is recognized by the british kennel club only six years later.

In the year 1880, When he ended the war between Afghans and British, the officers of the British army took home some of these dogs, whose characteristics as hunting dogs in the harsh conditions of the Afghan mountains, had caught his attention.

In Europe, the Afghan Hound It has maintained its natural activity sheepdog and hunting, task that he already did in his homeland. As well, Thanks to its elegant appearance, agility and speed, has become a companion and racing dog.

In the beginning, the Afghan Hound He was employed to chase prey of all kinds, who were in the mountains Afghanistan, such as hares, foxes, Gazelles, jackals, Wolves, deer, and even, Snow leopard (which is the only big cat that lives exclusively in high mountains and is perfectly adapted to this environment).

Another function of Afghan Hound was the monitoring the camps of nomadic tribes and livestock, functions that, along with those related to hunting, They gave this race a huge popularity among nomads Afghanistan (they even reserved a day of festivity dedicated to the Afghan Hound, which engalanaban them with necklaces of flowers).

Physical characteristics ยซAfghan Houndยป

General appearance gives an impression of force, dignity, speed and power. The exotic and oriental expression is typical of the breed, with a direct and scrutinizing look.

The head It has the long narrow skull and not, with the prominent occipital, the snout long, clean jaw and the light stop.

The eyes They are preferably dark, almost triangular and slightly oblique upwards. The ears They are set low, well delayed position and the animal stuck against the head.

They are admitted all colors.

The ideal height the cross males: 68 to 74 cm.. and females: 63 to 69 cm..

Character and abilities ยซAfghan Houndยป

It is considered one of the least intelligent races, positioned on the scale as the number 79 according to S. Coren, autor de โ€œThe Intelligence of Dogsโ€, but also whimsical.

The Afghan Hound is independent and capable of chasing its prey without the need for instructions. His intelligence and confidence allow him to anticipate the reactions of his prey and make decisions on his own..

This means that you tend to act freely and do things your way when you decide it is necessary., instead of following the letter of his master's instructions. This means that your training can be challenging., and that it is a breed that needs an experienced trainer.

But, despite its independence, They are very devoted to their owner and are usually affectionate with their family. But, must accept that this affection is not available ร ย  la carte, but when they decide the time is right. In other words, you have to accept their independence and not expect constant displays of affection from them. Not recommended for families with young children: without being aggressive with them, tends to reject their contact when they are too insistent.

outside the family circle, their sociability is limited. Thus, often tends to be distant - even haughty- with anyone who considers a stranger in their home. You can even show that attitude with your master, especially if you feel upset.

His somewhat difficult character and the fact that he is not necessarily affectionate tend to make us forget that, However, he is a faithful companion. May have a hard time adjusting to a new home.

But, can be very affectionate and fun, and even enjoys being the center of attention. Some owners also report that they like to steal things and hide them. He even seems to enjoy doing it in front of his owner's nose.. In other words, even when he's having fun, shows your level of confidence and self-control.

The Afghan Hound it is a very robust dog that needs a lot of exercise. But, can adapt to life in a flat, as long as its owner provides a minimum of two hours of physical activity a day to expend its energy. Due to his background as a hunter, he especially likes to run long distances: it is one of his favorite activities, and walking is not enough. So, you need to run several times a week - or even every day- and is a very good companion for someone who wants to run with their dog. It can be content to run in a secure enclosure on days when its owner is not available for a long run., as long as you continue to do at least some additional activities (brisk walks, go to the park, etc.) to expend your boundless energy.

If you live in a house and have access to a garden, it must be strictly fenced, since his hunting instinct is particularly pronounced. Otherwise, won't stop taking off if it sees potential prey, to go after her. It's not a wireless electric fence that could stop him, since the discomfort he feels is no match for his desire to pursue.

Obviously, the same happens when walking, so it is always better to wear it on a leash, at the risk of suddenly disappearing as soon as a potential prey is identified. If the owner wishes to allow his dog to go off leash in certain less dangerous areas, you should at least equip it with a connected GPS dog collar, to be able to find it in case of need.

Last, their hunting instinct means that coexistence with other small animals is not recommended. Sometimes he can tolerate a cat if he has become used to its presence from a young age, but in general, not very sociable with other animals. It is a little less complicated with other dogs, But again, you better start with them asap.

Education

Although he is extremely loyal, the Afghan Hound he is very stubborn and tends to do what he wants. If we add to this that they tend to be dominant, we can see how much they need an experienced owner who knows how to show their dog who is the master and assert himself gently. To get it, it is recommended to use training techniques based on positive reinforcement.

In any case, your training requires a good dose of patience, since it is very independent. If you decide you are not interested, you need to use your imagination to capture their attention and arouse their interest, or postpone the training session. If you feel upset when you think you have something better to do, in a rush and / or forced to do something you don't want to, becomes very stubborn and rejects any instructions. It also, to avoid fatigue and, Therefore, disinterest on his part, it is better to opt for varied sessions rather than long repetitions of the same exercise.

The training of a Afghan Hound requires, Therefore, the ability to adapt to your current mood and vary exercises to diversify your sessions and keep your focus. This is all the more true since, unlike other races, does not seek to please his master.

Group classes in a school for puppies (once the first vaccinations have been carried out) they are an interesting option for the success of training. This can help teach the puppy the first commands (how to sit to order or search) in a more supervised environment. It also, offer an interesting socializing opportunity.

Socialization is an important aspect of training an Afghan greyhound puppy. As he is not very fond of human beings outside his family circle, it is important to expose it from a young age to various people and situations (go out in public, meet the neighbors, receive guests at home, etc.) so you don't get too reserved. In fact, his shyness and natural distrust of strangers tend to get the best of him quickly.

It also, as your maintenance need is quite important but you may consider human interaction a nuisance, it is essential to teach him from a young age to allow himself to be manipulated without flinching.

Health

Although generally in good health, the Afghan Hound is particularly prone to certain diseases:

  • Allergies: the symptoms of an allergy in a dog are the same as in humans (crying eyes, sneezing, etc.). They can be treated with drugs and / or changes in the animal's environment, depending on the type of allergy involved;
  • Cancer : as humans, this condition can be fatal, has fortiori if detected in an advanced stage. On the other hand, when taken on time, it is often possible to remove the cancerous mass by surgery and / or taking medication;
  • The juvenile cataract : is usually present from birth and, depending on its severity, can potentially be treated by surgery. But, in some cases, cause blindness in the dog ;
  • Hypothyroidism , a thyroid gland disorder causing lethargy, weight and hair loss, as well as fatigue. Usually, it is treated with medications.

It also, like most dogs with hanging ears , have an increased risk of ear infection and, therefore, requires special vigilance at this level.

It also, is more exposed than other breeds to the risk of urinary obstruction. These can be treated with medications, but surgery is required if they don't work. In any case, a change in diet is often necessary to reduce the risk of new crystal formation.

Obesity is not a problem you are predisposed to. But, any dog รขโ‚ฌโ€นรขโ‚ฌโ€นthat is malnourished and / or not exercising enough is at risk of being overweight, with a potential higher risk of developing certain diseases. His master must, Therefore, go to the trouble of weighing your partner regularly, make sure everything is in order at this level and react if it is not, in general, to make you exercise more and be more rigorous in your daily ration is enough.

Another good must-have habit is taking your dog to the vet at least once a year for a full checkup.. This allows both detecting a possible problem early, as well as ensuring that everything is in order regarding the dog's vaccinations and reminders.

Life expectancy

12 to 14 years

Grooming

Due to its long fur, cleanliness is an essential dimension of maintaining Afghan Hound. To avoid tangling, the dog should be brushed with a rubber comb, ideally every day. This will help maintain the silky texture of the coat while removing dead hair.. As in the case of any long-haired dog, do not neglect the time dedicated to this task, as it is an important condition to keep your dog healthy.

It also, It is necessary that you take your dog to the groomer from time to time to keep his coat well trimmed and looking good for all occasions. In fact, the maintenance of its thick coat is more complex than that of many other breeds, and it is better to leave it in the hands of a professional. Ideally, trim it every 2 or 3 months.

On the other hand, the Afghan Hound only needs to be bathed once or twice a year, unless it got dirty. Regular brushing is usually enough to remove debris that may be lodged in the coat..

The ears, on the other hand, they need a lot more attention. Long hair around the ears and the fact that they are folded on themselves pose a higher risk of this happening. To avoid irritation or infection problems, it is important to inspect them weekly and keep them clean.

This weekly session is also an opportunity to clean the dog's eyes and brush his teeth., in order to maintain good oral hygiene and limit the formation of tartar, which can have unfortunate consequences.

In general, as in the case of all dogs, a weekly check-up is essential to ensure that you are in good health and to detect any problems early, be it skin rashes, eye infections or injuries to the pads of the feet.

Last, the claws of this very active animal tend to wear out enough naturally, so no need to trim them manually. But, it is important to periodically check that this is the case and to do so if necessary.

Observations

He has washed too often (each 15 days), because knots are easily formed.. Exemplary elders and breeding females can be sheared to be able to take care of more easily.

Use

Along the centuries, the Afghan Hound has developed a long coat, thick and silky that allows it to withstand the extreme temperatures of the mountainous regions where it was used as a hunting dog.

His resistance to cold is not the only asset that made him -and makes him- a formidable hunter: you can also trust your vision. Similar to the Whippet, the English Greyhound, the Borzoi and the Saluki, has a field of view of 270 degrees, 30 more than other dog breeds (and 70 more than a human being). This allows them to detect their prey from a wider angle while remaining immobile., so they can go unnoticed more easily.

Once they start to chase their prey, the Afghan Hound it gives them little chance of escaping. In fact, his speed is legendary: can reach a maximum speed of 64 km/h, not far from the speed record ever set by a racehorse (69,2 km/h). Can only maintain that speed for short distances, but it has a great resistance, as it can be maintained for hundreds of kilometers.

In his native Afghanistan, it was used mainly to hunt large prey, both in desert areas and in the mountains. He was valued for his ability to travel long distances, its speed and its value. In fact, one of his tasks was to hold back dangerous prey, like leopards, until the riders arrived. This type of hunting, in which the dog leads the hunters, requires great independence and a capacity to react to different situations with few instructions. These are qualities that he still possesses today..

But, this use as a hunting dog has now disappeared. The most frequent is to find it as a companion dog, although their number has decreased considerably compared to a few decades ago.

It also stands out in dog shows and, despite his strong character, is known for its good performance in obedience competitions.

On the other hand, although he is an extremely fast runner, the races of the Afghan Hound have never been as popular as his cousin the Greyhound. There are records of this type of racing in India and Afghanistan in the 19th century, but it is not clear in the literature how popular this sport was then. Since the mid-1990s 1980, some breeders try to popularize them, mainly in England and the United States, But it is no small thing to say that they face headwinds. In fact, criticism of the treatment of racing dogs has been on the rise, thanks above all to the awareness-raising work of various animal defense organizations, so dog racing has been losing popularity over the years 90.

Price "Afghan Hound"

The price of a puppy Afghan Hound varies between the 1.200 and 1.400 EUR, without there being a significant price difference between males and females.

In fact, price differences from one individual to another are explained more by the intrinsic characteristics of the puppy (and in particular its greater or lesser conformity with the breed standard), the possible prestige of its lineage and the reputation of the kennel from which it comes.

English Foxhound History

The English Foxhound can be considered a classic among British hunting dogs. This traditional breed is probably a cross between the Bracken medieval and the greyhounds, which were supposed to provide more lightness to previously heavier tracking dogs. Its field of application was and is hunting, more precisely: fox hunting mounted in pack, also called "hunting by force". In this hunt, the herd chases game animals such as roe deer or foxes until they are exhausted.. Persistent dogs can stay on their prey's heels for up to five hours. Although they are not faster than the pursued, tire the hunt so that the human hunter can hunt it. "Hunting by force" flourished in the 18th and 19th centuries, when it was practiced by the German nobility, British and French. Only the aristocracy could afford this elaborate form of hunting, and often destroyed numerous fields under the hooves of horse carts on the miles of unpredictable routes.

In the meantime, this form of hunting is prohibited in Great Britain, as well as in most European countries. In Germany, by the way, this prohibition was not originally justified by the practice of hunting, which is questionable from an animal welfare point of view. Rather, prohibition, when came into force in the years 30, was intended to limit the privileges of the nobility – and therefore also hunting. But a few decades later, hunting laws confirmed the ban. But this was not the end for him English Foxhound: Today, trawling is a friendly alternative – not the killing of the hunt, but the joy of riding fast along with the pack is the main focus. In 1964 the breed was recognized by the FCI. Besides of English Foxhound, there is also the American Foxhound, slightly lighter construction.

Physical Characteristics English Foxhound

He bears a strong physical resemblance to him. Beagle, Although it is slightly larger. The average size of English Foxhound varies slightly depending on the gender of the animal. The males measure between 55 and 62,5 cm. up the cross, and females in 50,5 to 60 cm. up the cross. Generally weigh between 25 and 34 kg. Their fur is short and hard, tricolor-negro color, White and toasted or bicolor with a white background. It has a light head, and with pronounced eyebrows. The ears are medium and droopy, Hound style. His muscular back, It has straight legs and well located porte alegre queue, Whip style. The long legs allow the English Foxhound at a fast pace.

Character and skills English Foxhound

This friendly dog รขโ‚ฌโ€นรขโ‚ฌโ€นappreciates life in the pack, where he gets along with his peers. In keeping with your original purpose and the life of your ancestors, almost without exception they lived in large herds, the English Foxhound show good obedience, but does not usually establish close relationships with humans individually. Even today the dogs grow up in the pack and stay there. If a stronger impression on humans is desired, the English Foxhound would have to be removed from the pack already at puppy age, but this is not practiced, because these dogs are primarily professional hunting companions and not companion dogs. It also, the Foxhound always retains a relatively high degree of stubbornness and does not show a pronounced "will to please". Despite your stubbornness, the breed also has an affectionate side: to much Foxhounds they love to be petted and are also quite playful.

English Foxhound Education

Most of the English Foxhounds are hunters and receive proper hunting dog training, which is absolutely necessary. When you keep a English Foxhound as a companion dog, there may be some obstacles to overcome, because this breed is a passionate hunter who does not have a close relationship with people individually. Especially if you have lived in a pack for a long time, it is difficult to establish a close relationship with the sociable four-legged friend.

Promote the bond with common rituals and a lot of positive motivation. This doesn't always have to consist of treats – petting or small games can also reward this breed of dog. The breed is considered to be very social and gets along very well with its peers. It should be clear to everyone that this four-legged friend has a great hunting instinct, adjust your walks accordingly and make sure the neighbor's cat or puppies by the roadside remain safe.

The diet of the English Foxhound

The English Foxhound needs a species-appropriate food, what it means: It must contain a lot of meat! Offer your English Foxhound grain-free wet or dry food, where meat is the main ingredient. Particularly for Foxhounds who are hunters, the energy requirement depends largely on the calories actually consumed – on days with long runs up to 15 km, the four-legged friend needs correspondingly more energy. A food with a higher fat content is recommended for the most demanding sports needs. Give your dog the last portion about three hours before a sports session, so you have enough time to digest it before you start. Snacks are rarely necessary even during the longest sports drives. It is important that you Foxhound get a nice meal and a long rest after the job is done. The Foxhound it is a very good food processor – to avoid being overweight, watch your waistline and cut your portions accordingly when you start to gain weight. Dry chews are a welcome change to the four-legged friend's diet. But, avoid feeding the rumen with food, as it is suspected of promoting bloodhound ataxia in Foxhounds.

Remember to give plenty of fluids to drink: allow your Foxhound drink water at least once an hour, even during a hunt. There should always be enough fresh water available for all the four-legged friends in the kennel.

English Foxhound Health

One Foxhound healthy is basically a very robust quadruped. But if you want to keep these dogs running, you must inform yourself in advance about the call Hound Ataxia. This is a neurological disorder that mainly affects the Foxhounds and to the Beagle. It usually occurs between the second and seventh year of life and manifests as movement disorders and spasticity. The cause is a breakdown of the white matter in the thoracic cord and of the gray matter in the dog's brain stem.. It is not conclusive if feeding in the rumen favors the outbreak of the disease; However, it is recommended to avoid it as a precautionary measure. Usually, the disease continues to progress without effective treatment options. The English Foxhounds they should also be screened for hip dysplasia before breeding with them. It also, it is important to avoid being overweight, since the English Foxhounds that don't have enough demand get fat quickly. Dogs can reach an age of up to 13 years.

Activity with the English Foxhound

Many kilometers at full gallop – this is the amount of work that English Foxhounds not only drive but also appreciate. Trawling is a good alternative to the old hunts and is now organized throughout Europe, for example, in trawling clubs. The animals follow a foxtail or a brine trail from the rumen that drips from the containers that the riders carry later. If, even if it is not the ideal case, you have a English Foxhound that is not used for hunting, you can take him for a bike ride or learn about sports like canicross. It also, their Foxhound should have room to romp, ideally within a large fenced property and with other dogs of the same species. If your specimen is no longer able to hunt due to physical handicaps, give him a mental workload instead and see if slower nasal work, like guided mantrailing, it's a good idea for your dog.

Caring for the English Foxhound

The short, soft coat of the English Foxhound does not present a challenge in terms of grooming. Regular brushing or massaging with a grooming mitt removes excess fur and is a pleasure for many quadrupeds.. Especially if you don't have a English Foxhound in a pack but as a companion dog, you should practice such bonding rituals with him from an early age. With older dogs, the claws should be examined regularly to avoid painful hooking when they get too long.. You should also regularly check your dog's coat for parasites and discuss prophylaxis with your vet..

Where can I find an English Foxhound?

This breed is usually bred by hunters for hunters, and that's a good thing. If you are interested in having these dogs and you have the time, money and space to raise a herd, you can find out in the trawling clubs. You're probably already familiar with them anyway, because without this form of organized hunting, forming your own herd makes little sense. In any case, stay away from Foxhounds individuals who were raised without papers and whose parents are not hunters. Most of them are dubious sellers who want to make money with the classic hunting dog. Puppies are not usually Foxhounds pure-bred, but mixed races. It is wiser to resort to the animal welfare when looking for mixed-breed dogs with a part of Foxhound, instead of supporting dubious breeding practices.

If you are looking for a English Foxhound adult, you can find one at professional trawler clubs, for example. These always give away older dogs that are not suitable for very demanding use in trawling.. But, you should ask yourself critically and clarify in discussions with the pack leader if you have the possibility to offer this sporting dog with the characteristics already described a species-appropriate home.

History

This terrier shot was specially developed around 1600 in the Cheviot Hills and near Coquetdale to support the hunting of otters and badgers. But also predators and hares made life very difficult for this accomplished hunter..

Most of the dogs of this breed were only kept by very few families in the area and were also very rarely given to strangers.. Well-known breeder Willi Allan, for example, maintained an exceptional herd, but he refused to sell even one of his dogs despite the high offers.

Her children and grandchildren continued this tradition after her death in 1704, but occasionally they gave a dog to good friends or as a favor. The aforementioned breeder John Davidson received a partner this way and began his breeding.

It was the favorite dog of the French King Luis Felipe, who owned a pair of dandies about 1840.

The painter Gainsborough immortalized the Dandie Dinmont Terrier in his portrait of the Duke of Buccleuch.

Like breed of Scottish hunting dog, the terrier was originally used to hunt otters and badgers; with its long and flexible body it had ideal conditions for hunting in the substructure. Today the Dandie Dinmont Terrier He is considered a faithful companion and a happy companion in many life situations..

It is considered the direct ancestor of the no less independent rough haired dachshund. With the foundation of the first Club Dandie Dinmont in 1875, the characteristics of the breed were unified.

In the countries of the European continent, the Dandie Dinmont Terrier lags far behind the enthusiasm of the people of the British Isles in terms of popularity.

In its native land it can still be experienced as a determined hunting and watchdog., but a life as a companion dog is more common. This little terrier is rarely observed compared to other breeds..

The usual height of the shoulders between 20 and 28 centimeters is no longer stipulated in the FCI standard. The nomenclature is limited to a weight of eight to eleven kilograms for this little terrier.

The Dandie Dinmont Terrier is a direct descendant of the Skye Terrier. Although the breed is relatively common in Britain, this humble dog is rarely seen outside of this country.

Physical characteristics

The Dandie Dinmont Terrier is a special representative of the terrier group. Fierce, brave and tough, is a reliable tracker and a good hunting helper.

In the hunt he faces polecats, badgers and otters. Many terrier breeds have the genes of the dandies.

Walter Scott names in his novel the famous six terriers Dandie Dinmont Terrier with extraordinary names

ยซAuld Pepperยป (= old pepper)
ยซYoung Pepperยป.
ยซLittle Pepperยป.
"Ancient must".
"Young mustard".
y ยซLittle Mustardยป, indicating the predominant hair colors in this breed.
About his character he wrote: "They fear nothing in this world that meets a furry fur".

According to the breed standard, the shoulder height of the Dandie Dinmont Terrier Must be from 24 to 28 cm., the ideal weight under working conditions should be between 8 and 11 kg.

Some of its physical characteristics, like short curved legs, the backs tucked, round head and big eyes, probably date back to the crossing of several breeds of sniffer dogs.

The coat consists of a curly mix of hard and soft hairs, which are also quite long, of about 5 cm.. Normally the coat of the Dandie Dinmont requires relatively little cleaning, it just needs to be combed regularly and trimmed several times a year.

Character and skills

The Dandie Dinmont Terrier shows its adaptability not only in hunting. When he lives with his humans, he is affectionate and affectionate without becoming friends.

Characterized by a high stimulus threshold, what benefits you as an apartment dog. Doesn't bark for no reason, although I hear it and see it all. However, the proportion of outdoor activities in the daily routine must be large enough. Their hunting genes continue to determine the drive to work in the wild.

Care of "Dandie Dinmont Terrier"

Has a fluffy undercoat that grows curly, the top layer being hard.

In addition to regular brushing, we should trim their fur almost three times a year. This removes dead hair without softening the main hair and without reducing the water resistance of the double coat.

Especially dense hair requires special attention to emphasize the characteristic soft and silky form of the ยซtopknotsยซ. It is important that the dog never looks as if it has been groomed.

The predominant coat colors are, as already indicated in Scott's novel by the special names of dogs, Pepper, that is to say, shades between blue-black to light silver gray, as well as mustard, that is to say, colors from red-brown to beige.

The quality of the care of the coat is very visible in the striking head of the Dandie Dinmont Terrier. The silky mop of hair around the large eyes is the figure that characterizes the Dandie Dinmont Terrier.

The coat as a whole is pepper or mustard. The first variant ranges from blue-black to silver gray, mustard color palette shows different shades of brown.

History

Terriers form a large group of dogs. Its name is derived from the Latin "Terra" for 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 the little vermin. 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. They were supposed to get the fox out of the hole. All these tasks required an enthusiastic commitment, special courage, independent thinking and so-called predatory acuity. Terriers were the world champions in the then "sport" of rat biting. They were fearless and with every fiber of their being they strove to do their job to the best of their ability..

We can still experience all of these qualities in our terriers today.. They make the special charm of these dogs. Terriers come in all sizes, but they are mostly quite small dogs up to the Yorkshire Terrier of today. But they were all once very busy working dogs. Most small terriers like Yorkie, the Westie or the Scottish they made their home in the cramped working-class settlements of emerging industry in England or Scotland. Despite her sometimes quite dainty appearance today, they are still whole dogs, yet. They are concise reps with their own heads and bold temperament. Great terriers like him Airedale Terrier they belong to the first service dogs, who worked for the police, customs or army worldwide. Small and medium terriers are still in high demand as hunting dogs, as the Parson Russel Terrier, el Fox Terrier o el German Hunting Terrier.

In times past all terriers formed a large group of dogs, that were especially suited to the tasks mentioned here. Depending on the special field of application or the surface of the earth, formed different regional lines, that nevertheless remained connected to each other. Only modern pedigree dog breeding created dog breeds genetically separate from this, as we know them today. Like this, no less than 34 races, mostly native to England, Ireland, Scotland or Wales. Just the German Hunting Terrier comes from Germany.

Physical characteristics

The Fox Terrier (wire) he is an active and happy dog, of small volume in which bones of good substance and great physical strength are combined, never heavy or rough. Its structure presents a perfect balance, particularly with regard to the proportions between the skull and the muzzle, and in the same way between the height at the cross region and the length of the body from the point of the shoulder to the point of the buttock, they look roughly the same. It stands tall like a hunting horse that has a short back and is able to cover a lot of ground.

SIZE AND WEIGHT:

Height to the cross region: It should not exceed 39 cm in males; females are slightly smaller.
The ideal weight of a developed specimen is 8,25 for males; for females it is slightly lower.

Character and skills

Terriers have a concise nature, that distinguishes them all – with a certain restriction also toroidal terriers. They are extraordinarily temperamental dogs that never say no to any adventure.. They are lively, bright, concise. They don't avoid fights. Little ones especially tend to start fights with other dogs of any size due to their chronic overconfidence.. In general, especially the little ones tend to call themselves emperor. This is a challenge for the teacher or caregiver. As construction hunting dogs they are able to make their own decisions, which means they like to be stubborn and stubborn. Terriers can quickly become overbearing if their humans haven't made it clear who determines the house rules.

They are extremely cooperative and docile. It is a great pleasure to work with them. Terriers are faithful to their humans and are very suitable as family dogs, if your strong personality is not only respected, but also appreciated and acted. Hunting terriers especially are characterized by their intelligence and extraordinary courage. They are even able to search for a draft boar, lower it and then bark without hurting yourself. Of course they still go to the dens of the fox and the badger. Even if the Yorkies are carried on the arm with bows – and they are happy to bear it – even the smallest terrier is essentially a daredevil and not a lapdog. They are bundles of energy that love and need a physical and mental challenge..

Fitness

Keeping a terrier has no problems. They have no demands regarding the size of the apartment. Only grooming is mandatory. The biggest challenge is his temperament. They need physical and mental challenges. Many are very successful hunters. As a companion dog they are suitable for a wide spectrum. Almost all terriers are great for various canine sports. As a running partner, of a cyclist. Your high level of fitness, their often vigorous health and willingness to work mean both a challenge and an obligation to their masters and mistresses.

Like most terriers they have a strong hunting instinct., must be kept on a leash in nature. Terriers are very suitable as playmates for children, They are designed for any kind of fun and are robust enough to play with children.. But, the house rules must be correct and the terrier must know his role in the family. Even the smallest terriers shouldn't have room to live out their overconfidence and become the children's school teacher..

Fox Terrier (wire) Education

Typical terriers can be trained and educated very well.. The clear announcement and the consequence are the miracle words here based on a respectful and loving relationship with the master or caretaker.. Especially with little terriers, education is an often underestimated chapter.. Although they are cute and delicate, they are still a real terrier. They need a consistent education from the puppy's age. Most terriers can be trained on the basis of a good education for the most different tasks..

Fox Terrier (wire) care and health

Terriers are usually very easy to care for. Apart from those with short hair, most terriers need a regular haircut. But they lose comparatively little hair.

Most terriers are in robust health. Exceptions to this rule are temporarily fashionable or outward-facing breeds such as Yorkie, the Westi or the Bedlington Terrier, in whose population copper toxicosis has spread excessively, a disease that attacks the liver. The tendency to dwarf with copies of less than 3 kg, which is particularly notable in the Yorkie, leads to damage that can be described as nurturing torture.

Nutrition / Food

Nutrition is not problematic. But, breeds that are oriented towards outward appearances tend to suffer from allergies, what can make a food diet necessary.

Wire terrier Fox Terrier life expectancy

Life expectancy depends on the size of the dogs. The smallest dogs, but not too small, have a longer life expectancy. as a rule, terriers enjoy a long life as a dog, often over 15 years. Lines bred over generations for "beauty" and especially extremely small specimens, so-called minis dogs, Toy- o Teacup, they usually die much earlier.

Buy a Terrier

It is best to buy your puppy locally from a breeder affiliated with one of the terrier breeding clubs or you can look around the shelters.. Among 1.000 and 1.500 euros must be planned as costs.

History

The first fox terrier, which were first presented at an English dog show in the mid-19th century, they were almost white dogs, especially suitable for fox hunting. Due to his courage, their endurance and ability to track and reach the foxes hidden in their burrow, little terriers soon found a large following among England's hunting and dog lovers. thanks to his physique, the intrepid dogs were able to get into the tubes Fuchsbau narrower. The purpose of breeding for fox hunting was also always the main focus when selecting suitable breeding dogs and ultimately gave the dogs their breed name Fox Terrier. (Fox = Zorro, terre = Earth).

In 1876 the newly founded Fox Terrier Club introduced the first breed standard for the Fox Terrier. Today the FCI distinguishes two variants of the Fox Terrier: the Fox Terrier Smooth and the Fox Terrier (wire). Although both types of dogs only differ in the structure of their coat, are kept separately.

At the beginning, the straight hair variant of the fox terrier was much more popular than the Fox Terrier (wire). But, this changed in the decade of 1920, when a real boom developed around the Fox Terrier (wire) and the โ€œpracticalโ€ little dog became the new โ€œfashion dogโ€ for fine ladies. Unfortunately, often forgot that the Fox Terrier was originally bred as a hunting dog and that the animals still possessed a lot of courage, hunting instinct and a certain sharpness.

Lack of education and inappropriate attitude gave dogs, who liked to dig gardens and seldom avoided a fight with other dogs, the reputation of being scathing and aggressive. In the middle of the last century, the number of entries in the breeding book, especially from Fox Terrier (wire), noticeably decreased. Today, twice as many are born Fox Terrier Smooth that the Fox Terrier (wire). Today, the traditional english dog in both variants belongs to the rather rare dog breeds.

Physical characteristics

The small-sized variant found its followers mainly in Australia, who used it mostly for hunting in rabbit holes. Due to crossbreeding with other breeds and exclusive breeding for hunting purposes, recognition as an independent race came relatively late.
