Basset Fauve de Bretagne

The Basset Fauve de Bretagne has a loose and lively temperament

Content

History

The Basset Fauve de Bretagne descends in a direct line from the "Grand Fauve de Bretagne", ancient trail breed, today almost completely disappeared that was used for fox and wild boar hunting, in the most dense forest. His parent has retained the qualities of exceptional Hunter and his fogosidad to, often, It is braking with crosses with the Petit Basset Griffon Vendรฉen.

In the 16th century there were four varieties of large dogs in France, the difference between them was more than remarkable in relation to the color of the coat and texture. The four varieties were white (du role), Fawn of the (Bretagne), grey (St Louis du) and the black. All of today's varieties of French hunting dogs seem to have their origin in repeated crossbreeding and mutations of these four types..

Estos โ€œGrand Fauve de Bretagneโ€, they were very big dogs, between 70 and 74 cm to the cross. They were known for their effectiveness in the early stages of a hunt.. his bravery, his thin nose, its resistance to cold and humidity and its impetus to hunt its prey, wild boar usually, made them ideal dogs for the thorny thickets of Northwest France. This large variety of Basset Fauve de Bretagne seems to have died out in France. The only representative of the Great "Grand Fauve de Bretagne", is the Fawn Brittany Griffon (48 – 56 cm.), very popular in France.

There is considerable doubt about how the reduction of the overall size of the race was reduced to half. One theory suggests that it was initiated by selection of smaller litter size specimens., another for the breeding of the smallest specimens for countless generations. In the 19th century there were numerous litters made up entirely of Basset Fauve de Bretagne.

In the Decade of 1970, as the Basset Fauve de Bretagne It became popular, French hunters decided to introduce new lines. It is generally believed that the Petit Basset Griffon Vendรฉen was used to improve their ability to, possibly, hunting and the Sausage dog to preserve the color of your hair.

The Basset Fauve de Bretagne was first registered with the Kennel Club in September of 1991.

Physical characteristics

Endowed with a truly incredible resistance, the Basset Fauve de Bretagne is able to hunt for days on end without showing any signs of exhaustion or tiredness.

Like all Basset French breeds that come from larger size, also it maintains the characteristics of hair, the most voluminous dog head and color which comes. Its trunk while long, is very strong and compact and, Despite the relatively short limbs, moving with enough speed and ease. In any case, It should never have a too short head or seem excessively high on the extremities, as well as the hair should not appear soft or soft to the touch.

"Basset Fauve de Bretagne"

Ears fall almost at the level of the eyes, not very long, barely reaching the end of the snout, and they end up in tip, they are covered with hair thinner than the rest of body, but never silky. His neck is quite short and muscular. The forelimbs are strong, straight or slightly twisted. Broad and relatively droopy chest. Slightly curved ribs. Long back but a little less than in the other Basset.

The tail is thick at the base, not too long, and it takes something like a sickle-shaped, is gradually tuned towards the tip. The color is more or less intense Golden or Griffon wheat, sometimes with a white patch on the chest.

Character and skills

The Basset Fauve de Bretagne is still required today for rabbit hunting, especially in low forests, where shrubs and las matas prevent passing other hounds.

It is still quite common in Brittany today, prized for their natural qualities and its perfect adaptation to the landscape, tough and rugged in that area. It's very hard to find, being virtually unknown outside of France.

It has a loose and lively temperament, so it needs to live always in the open air, that poorly fits the House. However, with a small space on the outside, or with usual and regular walks, the Basset Fauve de Bretagne could be an ideal pet.

History

The Beagle-Harrier It is a relatively new breed that comes from the crossing (towards the end of the 19th century) two English dogs, the Beagle and the Harrier (dog). Despite its British origins, the Federation Cynologique Internationale considered it a French animal since the race grew up and was set at France. The Beagle-Harrier it is nowadays a breed difficult to find in France and much more in other countries.

The Beagle-Harrierr was created especially for hunting hare, they were looking for a dog faster than him Beagle without it being as heavy as the Harrier (dog). The first crossings of these dogs did not give the expected results but finally, the french baron Gerard Grandin de l'Eprevier He managed to fix the characteristics that he had sought so much, create a dog a little bigger than the Beagle but lighter.

Like this, a new breed of French dog developed from two English dogs, which spread rapidly among French hunters and is still used as a hunting dog today.

Early and thorough socialization is necessary if you want your pet to be tolerant of children in the family and other animals in the house.. The breed is usually very gentle with young children although it is large enough to knock a young child down in the heat of play..

    Human aggressiveness can become a serious problem if your Gascon Saintongeois not adequately displayed to people of all ages from a young age. But, this dog is commonly courteous to house guests and resorts to violence only in an extreme case. Thanks to his unsurpassed vigilance and deep sonorous voice, he is an excellent watchdog.. In general, this dog has no desire to defend his territory, so it cannot be considered a good guardian.

    The Gascon Saintongeois welcomes any opportunity to communicate with peers and, in fact, prefers to live in a large canine group. But, may be ill-disposed towards unfamiliar homeless canines and the owner should take this character trait of his pet into account and keep him on a leash in public places.

    Great Gascony Blue
    Francia FCI 22 - Large-sized Hounds

    Big Blue of Gascony

    The Great Gascony Blue is known for its deep barks

    Content

    History

    The Great Gascony Blue is an ancient race resulting from the cross between the Bloodhound and other breeds of hounds. It is also said to descend from the dog Hubertus, a species of hound that has become extinct. In the fourteenth century, the first blue hounds were described in the Livre de Chasse de Gaston Fรฉbus to hunt wolves, bears and boars. Even today these dogs still go hunting big game. (deer and wild boar) and they are still more specialist dogs than pets. Very widespread in the south and south-west of France, especially in Gascuรฑa, the Great Gascony Blue is at the origin of all breeds of hounds in the South.

    There are four races of Blue Gascony: the Small Blue Gascony, the Basset hound and the Blue Gascony Griffon. The Great Gascony Blue is one of the most widespread.

    This breed is also an important ancestor of the Bluetick Coonhound, a breed of dog from the deep south of the United States; the Marquis de Lafayette gave George Washington several of these Biscayan dogs in August of 1785. Other French Fled the French Revolution 20 years later and they brought more to Louisiana. That is why the American race has a remarkable resemblance to its progenitor, except for its morphological needs and its more active character.

    Observation:

    Although the common opinion is that most dogs are family dogs or get along with children, the dog and the children need to receive some education on how to treat each other respectfully and safely. Dogs and young children should never be alone, but they should always play together under supervision.

    Physical characteristics

    The Great Gascony Blue it's a large hound, French type because of the shape of the head, fur and expression. The tail, big enough, reaches to the tip of the hock and is carried like a saber. The head has a slightly domed and not too wide skull with a marked occipital protrusion and a slightly pointed stop. The eyes are oval and brown in color. Just placed, the thin, curly ears are pointed and protrude past the tip of the nose.

    The hair is short and quite thick. The coat is completely black and white speckled, giving a slate blue glow. May be marked with more or less extensive black spots. Two black dots are usually placed on each side of the head, covering ears, wrapping the eyes and stopping at the cheeks. Two tan markings are placed on the forehead bone, cheeks, the ears, the limbs and under the tail.

    Character and skills

    This breed is known for its deep barks, one of the reasons why Great Gascony Blue It is a dog for specialists and not a common pet – The neighbors won't like your loud voice very much!! It's something like a gentle giant, with typical friendly hunting dog nature and pack mentality.

    Health

    The Great Gascony Blue it is generally a healthy and robust breed with no known specific health problems.

    Daily exercise

    With regard to the exercise, the Great Gascony Blue need at least two hours of exercise a day. This is due to the fact that this dog has been bred for hunting and will therefore be unhappy if he is not allowed to follow his nose for hours and miles..

    Nutrition

    Large breed dogs not only have a huge appetite, they also require a different nutrient distribution than smaller dogs, also in terms of minerals and vitamins.

    Care

    The big blue has a short, easy-care coat that requires very little attention – only needs to be brushed once a week. Their long floppy ears must be checked regularly to keep them clean and healthy..
