The Scottish lebrel is an unknown dog for the general public, since it is not common to see him outside his native country, where the Scottish Lebre them have become perfect companion dogs, which have not lost their hunting instinct. Weight: Around 45 kilos Hair type: Long and hard Character: Quiet and sociable Health: excellent Life expectancy: 8 to 10 years Origins As with many dog ​​breeds, the origin of the Scottish lebrel is not clear, although due to its appearance it seems that comes from the same trunk as the English greyhound, to which it resembles a lot. The belief is that it comes from the same bloodline as the English greyhound, but that the Scotsman evolved towards a larger size and hair for the climate of the Scottish highlands, where it is very cold. Its size would also be related to the use of this dog, because unlike other greyhounds, it was not dedicated to hunting hares, but hunted deer. In fact, it was so appreciated that all the chiefs of the Scottish clans had several. With the passing of the centuries He was about to extinction, because the appearance and development of firearms changed the way of hunting deer. To this also contributed the disappearance of the clans system and the fence of the farms. So much so, that near the year 1800 there were hardly a few copies, although luckily there were fans who recovered this breed, getting to reach the present day. Today its function is to be an excellent companion dog in its country of origin, since it is not well known outside of Scotland. Main characteristics The first thing that highlights from the Scottish Lebrel is its size, because SE classifies as a giant breed. Being a greyhound, the body is very thin and long legs, although it gives the feeling of being strong. Due to the length of its legs it looks like a heartless dog, but we will not comment the same if we see it run, when it leaves us impressed to check how a dog that exceeds 70 cm is moved and that reaches 45 kilos. He has an elongated head as well as snout, powerful and with a scissor bite that helped him when hunting. Their ears rise folded when the dog is in full activity, but they are folded back if it remains at rest. As for hair, different gray tones are admitted. It can also be red or fire red, yellow or grim. The mantle is rough, long, disheveled, forming mustache and beard, which gives it an expression of the most peculiar. Character We can define Scottish Lebrel as a quiet dog, very sociable and affectionate with people and dogs, although given their strength and size, it is convenient to do a socialization work with the puppy from very early ages. They are good children's colleagues if they have socialized well, but when they are adults they are very friends with peace and tranquility, which means that they have to provide spaces in which they can take refuge to rest. With other dogs they are very sociable, so that they are good candidates to live in a house where there are already other dogs, although this changes with smaller animals. Although it is no longer used in hunting, its hunter instinct is very present. That means that you can try to hunt other small animals, among which are cats and even miniature dog races, so you have to be careful. Since it is a dog with great force, it must be trained positively since it is young, since that will facilitate its handling when you are an adult. It is not necessary to work in order to win an obedience contest, but you must learn the basic orders such as sitting, lying, stopping or coming to the call, which will make daily life easier with it. Care Among the main care to be given is the exercise. It is still a large lebrel, so you need to run every day in large spaces. This means that it should not live in a floor, because its natural habitat is in a house in the field, although it is not a garden dog we can take from humans. He always asks for his love and that is why he has to always be next to the family. Another care is related to the area in which it sleeps. Here, we must put a bed, otherwise you will suffer calluses and sores on the legs, which occur if you sleep in a hard place. It is something that happens to most large dogs, because their weight causes pressure points when they lie on the ground. Hair needs constant attention Although it seems that hair will not require our attention, this is not. In fact, you will have to brush it every two days and daily when you move. In addition, for its type of hair it is a usual of the canine hairdressers, where they will do the trimming and the stripping occasionally. Both techniques consist of tear the hair, which is very common in hard -haired dogs such as Scottish Lebrel. We must space the bathrooms as much as possible and when we go to the field, it is always good to check the hair in case it brings parasites, scraps, pieces of branch, etc. Feeding As in all giant or large size races, food is essential when there is good body development. Therefore, and although you always have to take care of it, it is very important to be rigorous with it when they are puppies. At this time, and very quickly, the Scottish lebrel must produce a huge amount of bone and muscles, so it will have to provide nutrients in order to do so. You have to give you a specific feed for giant breeds Within the market of dog feed We will find a huge variety, but in the case we are concerned, we are interested in the specific ones for giant dogs. These feeds are formulated according to the nutritional requirements of these races, so since the Scottish Lebr is a puppy, it will have to be feed with feed of this type. The brands take into account how the size of the croquette should be, what elements the dogs need in each part of their life, they can concentrate the nutrients so that the rations are lower, etc. Luckily, Right now it is very simple, always choosing those that are of the highest quality for their composition. How do we choose a quality feed? Choosing a good feed is simpler than we think. We can choose to buy a recognized brand, but the truth is that we just look at your ingredient list. Those of good quality will have meat suitable for human consumption. On the label, the ingredients are reflected so that the more there are more product amount. Thus, the first element must be meat and feed will be better if it does not carry corn, barley or wheat, changing this source of carbohydrates for more suitable ones such as potato. Health The health of the Scottish Lebrel is very strong. In fact, unlike what happens with other races, we will not find just specific diseases here, with the exception of bone cancer. Stomach torsion One of the health problems most feared by giant dog breed owners is stomach torsion, that occurs when this turns on itself by a weakening of the tendons that hold it. It is deadly if it is not treated in time, you have to act very quickly, and although it is not known much it seems that food binge contribute to the happening. Therefore, it will be best to give the Scottish lebrel the food distributed in several portions, never before going to the field. Hip dysplasia Another of the diseases suffered by giant breeds is Hip dysplasia, which occurs when the femur joint does not fit well in the hip. It has several causes, but they are almost always genetic and therefore it is convenient to ensure that the parents of the puppy we take home are free of the disease, something that today is very simple to certify. It can also arise due to environmental causes, such as excess weight or force the animal to exercise when it is growing, so that care must be taken. Depending on the degree of dysplasia, their symptoms can be alleviated with medications, but in the most serious cases the dog must pass through the operating room. Bone cancer Bone cancer is the only disease that affects more than normal to Scottish lebrel, or in other words, which is prone to its race. It is a very aggressive type of cancer that is seen more in large breed dogs than in small size, and that usually kills the animal in a year at best, provided that radiotherapy is given. Sometimes you can stop amputating the affected limb, if the cancer is there, but the truth is that once it is detected, the best thing is that we are doing the idea that our friend has little time to life.

The American cocker It is one of those races that have now become perfect pets, but that for many years they have accompanied the hunters in the field, specifically hunting quail and partridges. Weight: Around 11 kilos Hair type: Silky and smooth Character: cheerful and balanced Health: strong Life expectancy: 12-14 years Origins As with the majority of the races of the new continent, American cocker has its origin in old Europe. Specifically, it comes from the United Kingdom. Several came from this country Cocker Spaniel around 1800. The race was extended throughout the continent and at the end of the century, in 1881, the first club of the race was created, which was already called American Cocker Spaniel Club. During those 80 years, American specimens from the English began to be distinguished, since American breeders began working immediately in other lines that moved this animal away from their main mission, hunting. It seems somewhat linked to the Americans, who have already done this with several races until they separate them from the main trunk, generating new breeding lines. There was a lot of controversy at the time This decision, that of taking out a cocker line for the exhibitions, was not exempt from disputes since its origin, because there were people who wanted the race to remain a perfect hunting dog. In fact, the result of this controversy already begins to differentiate both variants in a definitive way, and this is something that was seen in the phenotype of the dogs being the Americans from a smaller size and with a more abundant hair. Already in 1935 the crossing between both races was prohibited And in 1946 the American Kennel Club surrendered to the evidence, recognizing that the American cocker and the English were two different races. It is in those years that Cocker reached the greatest popularity, being now in decline, but not in danger of extinction. Main characteristics The breed is within the group of “sports hunting dogs” of the FCI, although many years ago he does not step on the field. In this group, with a weight ranging from 10 to 15 kilos and with a height from 33 to 39 cm, it is the smallest. Your head is very characteristic, since it is very round And it is accompanied by a wide and elongated snout, more flat than that of English cocker, which is one of its differences. The fur is longer than the one with the breed that gives rise to it. It can be smooth or wavy, with an inner layer that protects it from cold and humidity, which is the result of its days as a hunter. It has fringes on the legs, ears and in the chest area, which contributes to a friendly appearance, far away from aggressiveness. On the tone of the mantle, solid black is accepted, with fire marks or white spots, cream, dark red, brown and brown with fire marks. In turn, it can have two solid colors, provided that one is white. We cannot forget their ears, which seem inserted far back into the head and that hangs it in a visible way. They give the appearance of being huge, but the truth is that this is an optical illusion fruit of hair, and especially the fringes. Character We are facing a very affectionate and friendly dog, as it seems when we first see it. It is one of the best pets we can have, because it is very sweet and loyal with yours. The appearance of stuffed animals helps us always want to caress him, something that he will not reject. In addition, he gets along very well with the children, which he treats very delicately so as not to harm them. Something similar happens with other animals, so it is the ideal dog if we live with more pets such as cats. Unlike its English relative, which has a result of a little responsible parenting, the American cocker is very balanced and calm. That does not mean that the day sleeps, since it is active and loves to play. He is also happy exercising, especially if hunting is simulated. They like to move, which does not mean that they have problems when adapting to life at home, and hence the success they had from the beginning acting as pets. American cocker care Like any dog ​​with this fur, What will give us the most work will be the hair. Thus, in order to look in all its splendor, you have to brush it once a day. The bathrooms have to be regular, because that assures us a clean mantle and with which we will be able to work better. In addition, if we want it to have the appearance of the race, we must take it to the hairdresser. Frequent visits will have to be scheduled in order to unleash your hair, cut it, shape it, etc., but this should not be done every month. We should not see this as an expense, since in addition to our pet will look better, we will prevent parasites from developing. These find a perfect place in hair knots, so you have to avoid them at all costs. The ears will also sue much attention, both on the outside, as well as internally, because due to the type of ear it has, ear infections are not uncommon. How do we clean your ears? You have to check your ears regularly, better if we do it every day to come from the street. We start with the outside, where dirt tends to be stuck. There can be entangled all kinds of vegetation, which we will remove in order not to create knots or dirt nuclei. We also avoid wounds on the outside, which can occur if the spikes are stuck well in the hair and touch the skin. After looking at the external part we go to the internal, to the most important. Again, we verify that you do not have spikes or foreign bodies, because if they are present and do not take them off otitis. When preventing it, it helps a lot that we eliminate excess wax. It can be done with a saline gauze or serum, although in the market there are already specific products for dogs that we can use. If we have doubts, we will always consult the veterinarian, which will explain how to clean our ears to our American cocker in the best possible way, without causing any damage. It is better to do it daily, so it should be used to the animal since childhood, manipulating its ears, cleaning the internal area of ​​the ear, etc. Feeding As for the food of the American cocker, the first thing we should know is that we are facing a rather glottone race. Eat very quickly and if we leave you will do it in much higher amounts than necessary. This means that we must be careful how much I think we put in the bowl, while we avoid giving it extras in the form of chucheías or homemade food, because that will only help to fat more. So, The main thing is to choose a quality feed, more when the American cocker is a quite active dog that needs food that provides a good amount of energy, but without spending. Therefore, what we are going to do is buy a quality feed, of those called as a premium. The main feature of this type of dog food is its composition. It highlights proteins, almost always in the form of meat, although there are also fish. The normal thing is that the main protein source is chicken or lamb and there are already duck feed, cow, etc. In turn, and more knowing that it tends to gain weight, what we will look for will be a feed without grains of any kind. That means that it is better not to have wheat or barley, which contribute too many carbohydrates. It may seem that choosing a feed will be very complicated, but nothing is further from reality. We will look for those you announce in the sack that are "Grain Free”And among those, we will choose those who have a greater proportion of protein in their composition. If despite this we notice that our American cocker fattens, we can always talk to the veterinarian, in order to see if a I think light, with less fat and carbohydrates. Health The American cocker is not a delicate dog, of those with whom you have to go to the veterinarian every week, but like all pure races they have their associated health problems. One of the main ones is deafness. In fact, about 7 % of the dogs in this breed are born deaf, something that they can live with and we also, provided we follow a series of guidelines in order to adapt to it. In addition, deafness can acquire it throughout your life if we are not careful. Like every dog ​​with long ears and falls, otitis are not uncommon and if these are not treated they can cause the ear damage. Therefore, we must be attentive and check the inside of the auditory pavilion frequently, especially after the walks. The eyes are another of its weak points You also have to be careful with your eyes, because the race is prone to suffering problems such as cataracts or glaucoma. Therefore, it is good that the veterinarian look at his eyes every so often. These reviews must be more frequent as the animal becomes greater, because that is when the most risk of these pathologies. There are more diseases of the race If we talk about American cockers Do not forget autoimmune hemolytic anemia, since it affects the race. It is a liver disease that comes for several causes, and that luckily has treatment in the vast majority of cases, with solutions such as blood transfusion, antiparasitics or corticosteroids. Seen thus it seems that American cocker is a delicate animal, but nothing is further from reality. Deafness is a disease that affects them more and the rest may suffer, but it is not very common. However, glaucoma or cataracts are something that any dog ​​suffers, just like anemia. It occurs more in this race than in another, but we should not obsess ourselves. Of course, we must not stop buying a copy of this race if we like it.

The Otterhound is one of those dogs to which the changes in habits have led him to the edge of extinction. It was created to hunt otters, but that practice has been forbidden And his census is quite scarce. Weight: 30 to 52 kilos, depending on sex Hair type: dense, rough, hard and impermeable Character: intelligent, very active and faithful with their owners Health: Very strong Life expectancy: between 10 and 12 years Origins It is not known much about the origins of Otterhound, but it seems that its trail is lost in medieval England and there is already news of a similar race in the twelfth century. Advancing until the 18th, there are already representations of a dog almost equal to this. It seems that in its creation English and some French smelms intervened, using otter hunting, which was considered a vermin when it sneaked into the ponds, as the fish eaten. As a curiosity, the Airedale Terrier It descends directly from the Otterhound, so that with that we can get an idea of ​​how old the race is. Already in 1978 the hunting of otria was prohibited in England, since they were about to disappear, so the Otterhound began a decline That he has led him to no more than 1,000 copies, most in the United Kingdom, so it can be said that he is in danger of extinction. So much so, that the Kennel Club has it on the list of most vulnerable breeds in the Unid kingdomOr, and experts say there are many possibilities that it disappears in the short term. Main characteristics It is one of the best swimmers of the canine genre, because otter hunting is impossible if the dog is not an excellent swimmer, since the sets were carried out within the lakes or water courses. It has very rough and also impermeable hair, possessing this breed large feet and palmated fingers. With this, you can stay in the water for a long time. Its smell is another of its distinctive elements, being one of the best among all canine races, helping to smell the otters even huge distances. We are facing A large breed that reaches 61 cm And that it can weigh up to 52 kilos in the case of males, so that they attract the attention, to which the presence of long ears helps and hang up, curling the tip and seemed to have been folded. The admitted colors are the grim, the black and cream, the liver, the blue and fire and the black and the fire, in many occasions with white spots in areas such as the head, the tip of the tail or the feet. Character It has an excellent character and makes it a good company dog ​​as long as we do not live in a floor, because because of its past it has a powerful voice and is a barking, which does not help it come out of the danger of extinction. If we ignore this, We are facing a balanced, ingenious and very intelligent animal that solves problems when it is in a situation that interests you. With his family it is loyal, fun and very good, sociable with other dogs and pets, as well as with the children. Education It can be a somewhat stubborn dog, so it is possible that if we have no experience we have to resort to an experienced training, although, on the other hand, its intelligence makes it quickly learn. Training must always be positive, since although they have a hard dog appearance, the truth is that they are very sensitive dogs and do not tolerate either the screams or the bad ways. The most complicated when training it is that it has a very developed hunting instinct. In this regard, Otterhound is a very primitive breed that does not repress its instincts, which can endanger or even be hit by a car. Care They do not need much exercise to be healthy and make up with the typical walks, better in areas where they can swim, since they will be very happy, more if they live in the field, not to be dogs suitable for life on a floor. You don't have to pay too much attention, but land a couple of brushed by week will come wellA, as well as monitor the ears, which are large and falls. We will have to clean them inside frequently, eliminating excess wax, and check them when we come from the field in itself there is a strange object. Health This race does not have its own diseases, since it is a very strong dog and whose crosses come from very old. In addition, since having ever been fashionable, he has fought from indiscriminate breeding. His most common diseases are the same as those of anyNimal of its size: Hip dysplasia, the elbow dysplasia and the stomach torsion. The first two are prevented by buying a copy that comes from a dysplasia -free line. There is not much to choose from given the scarce number of specimens that exist, but you always have to ask for the radiography of the ancestors, at least that of the parents. On torsion, there is no effective way to avoid it, but it seems that its incidence is decreased if we do not feed the Otterhound before going to exercise, in addition to avoiding by all means that is feed very quickly. Feeding As in all large races, we must provide a I think of quality and adapted to each stage of your life. This is essential when they are puppies, because they develop a huge body in a short time. We will use any high -end feed, which we will care with the purpose that it does not fat, especially when it grows, because that could cause joint problems such as dreaded dysplasia. Talking to the veterinarian we will be able to know what feed they can do well, although as always it is best to try. Once we give a feed with which the dog is at ease, it shows in the brightness of the hair, we will no longer change. Because of its size, perhaps it is a good idea to opt for those who have many proteins, whose main ingredients are quality meat or fresh fish in large quantities, complemented by vegetables of the most varied and without grains such as wheat, barley or corn. Adopt There are breeds that in Spain are complicated to adopt, but getting an Otterhound in our country is impossible, since we talk about an animal in danger of extinction and of which there are hardly 1000 copies. Anyway, if we have fallen in love with the race, It is best to start looking in England, where we could find some specimen for adoption with which we should raise and work with the idea that the race is perpetuated. We do not need to go to the country, but we can make the first inquiries from Spain, putting ourselves in contact with breeders, protectors, the race club, etc., since there is always someone who for one reason or another cannot take care of their dog, even if it is as special as the Otterhound.

The Basset Hound It is hunting race highly appreciated for its tracking skills for hunting. Due to their low profile and their little stature, these dogs usually overlook. However, they are the perfect hunting partner for humans, form lasting friends and show extreme levels of obedience. Here you will find all the necessary information to know more about this unique and adorable race. Size: 35 to 45 cm Weight: between 25 and 45 kilos Hair type: Short and smooth Character: friendly and familiar Health: delicate although the opposite seems Life expectancy: Between ten and twelve years Basset Hound Origins France and England dispute the origin of Basset Hound, But the truth is that this breed was born in the Gallic country, as indicated by the first part of his name, which means small in French. It is possible that it comes from the Normandy region, since the artisian basset of Normandy It has a lot to do in its origin, although it also carries blood of strong body hounds such as San Hubberto's dog. During an era it was the best hound in France, so in the end it ended up taking over Europe. This is how he stressed in England, where we have documented his arrival from Lord Galway in 1866, which led a couple to the island, which resulted in the first basset litter in this country. It seems that in the end the English appropriated her, since even in its standard it appears as of English origin, forgetting that it is French and that it was there that it originated based on crosses with sits. Basset Hound features The appearance of this dog is unmistakable, so that although we do not know of races, we know that we are seeing one, calling it many people "Salachicha dog”, Although this appellation corresponds to Teckel, which has a similar appearance, although more graceful. This breed has a very long body that is based on very short legs, with a straight back that makes it elegant in its own way. Although it may seem small, the truth is that it is very robust, because it exceeds 35 kilos and measures up to 40 cm to the cross in the largest specimens, which gives it a sympathetic appearance while disproportionate. He has a huge head with wrinkles and a large goward, falling his upper lips, covering the lower ones, with huge ears that fall to the sides of the head and that almost touch the ground. His expression is something that has also made it famous, because the lower eyelid is fallen and shows part of the conjunctiva. So, When he looks us it seems sad, melancholic and serious. The tones of the fur are a combination of white, black and fire, with a distribution of colors that is unique in each Basset Hound, accepting the colors that the desires have without the need to be located in a specific way. The hair is smooth, very dense, hard and short, protecting it in the field of skewers, brambles and plants. Basset Hound character We are facing a family dog ​​who loves being with the members of his pack and playing with the children, who should not be noticed that they do not throw him out of his ears, otherwise he can have a bad reaction if they hurt him. The serious face has nothing to do with his personality, because It is a fun dog with which to play and walk through the field, preserving his instinct hunter, so we will have to be careful when we go out to open spaces. At home it comes to live well with other pets if we have made a good socialization from puppy, and it is convenient that you have a few toys in order not to get bored. Basset Hound Education Is reputable to stubborn, which has gained pulse, so that it should always be insisted on the training of obedience, despite what will not immediately pay us attention as if it were a pastor dog. Luckily, it is very ready and that entails that you learn quickly, especially if we help ourselves with positive training techniques such as click, using food when rewarding it, which will make it more than attentive. It is a hunting dog, specifically from which it follows traces, so it is not uncommon for one to smell one and go behind it, so that you have to always be attentive and reinforce the call, the order to stop, etc. Anyway, training is not complex and is a good dog to start if we like its appearance, whenever we are willing to ignore us a bit. Basset Hound Health It is not the best among dogs and The truth is that we can qualify it as a delicate health. This is due in large part to its appearance, unnatural and that has to pay a certain toll in the form of conditions or diseases. The column is long and the high weight, so it can suffer back pain, which is worse if something fat is. We appreciate this, because suddenly he does not want to climb stairs or it is very difficult to reach the sidewalk. Also sGastric torsion ufre Although it is not too big. In order to prevent it, care must be careful when feeding it, since it is an acute disease that can lead to death if it does not act quickly. Thus, it is better to distribute the food in several daily shots and leave time between the food and the walk, or between the arrival of the walk and the time of feeding it. Hip dysplasia may appear, more because of its weight than by its raised, and you have to prevent the appearance of discs discos, educating it since childhood so that it does not jump in order to get on a sofa or on top of someone. It seems that the list of problems does not end, and because of its eyelids (and by inheritance) pThe conjunctivitis appears (It is a mild disease) and the glaucoma, which comes to leave it blind if it does not act soon. Finally, and with this we close the health section, the Basset Hound has a tendency to gain weight. If we see that it begins to gain weight, we can give him a light left, always speaking before with your veterinarian. Basset Hound Care It needs a lot of exercise to distract itself and in order not to fat, but Nothing that has to do with jumps like agility, which is very harmful to this race. It is best to go walking along the field for all the time we can And let him play with other dogs, something he loves. His hair is easy to take care of, because a couple of weekly brushes is enough. Yes, you have to be more attentive to Legañas and Babas, which will have to be cleaned as they appear. We finish with the ears. You have to frequently check the interior, since being always covered, it is quite frequent that they have otitis, something we will realize when we see him walk with his head tilted.   Adopt a basset hound Unlike other races, It is not uncommon to find some basset hound to adopt. At the end of the hunting season they are usually seen in animal shelters, and we can even ask hunters, who sometimes want to give to some dogs that do not serve them for that activity. If we adopt one, we must bear in mind that they are delicate dogs, something that means that they need to spend money on them both in good feed and in visits to veterinarians, which can become frequent. Besides, We must not forget that they are a bit big heads, so that it is possible to educate it so that coexistence is the best and at least obey in most of the occasions in which we ask.

The Andalusian Podenco is a very characteristic race of southern Spain, which although it can also be seen as a company dog, the truth is that It is still used to hunt, an activity in which few races make it shadow. Size: between 32 and 64 cm Weight: 8 to 33 kilos Hair type: Very short and smooth Character: He is shy, ready and very active Health: Very robust Life expectancy: between 12 and 15 years Origins of the Andalusian Podenco There are many theories about the origins of this race, but the truth is that its typology is very similar to that of other podencos, a class of can that we can already see represented in cave paintings. Podenco -type dogs are not only seen in Spain, but are common in the Mediterranean basin and it is said that their origins are lost millennia behind, although in the case of the Andalusian podench it has always been said that it comes from the dogs that the Phoenicians brought to the Peninsula. This theory is very romantic, but in recent years the specialists have resorted to Genetics, which has shown that the Andalusian Podenco is not older than the rest of the European hunting dogs. These studies have demonstrated something that is known looking at this podench, and that is that its DNA is the closest to that of the wolves, which explains their behavior and how resistant it is to diseases. It is currently recognized in Spain, something that happened in 1992. No international association has done so, since it is practically equal to the Portuguese podench. Characteristics Andalusian Podenc The podench selection has not been carried out due to its external appearance, but has prevailed its ability to hunt. That has caused its external appearance to vary a lot from one dogs to others This looks very good in the hair, since there are three varieties such as the Sardinian type (with long and hard hair), the sedeal type (long, silky hair) and the smooth type (with fine and short hair). What the three types coincide is that they have no subpelo, so they are not the best animals to live abroad if it is cold. The hair tone can be white or cinnamon, combining both and without any black spot. Your body is very muscular and with a saber -shaped tail. Thus, as soon as we see it, we realize that we are facing an athlete who will not get tired no matter how much it runs. Like the hair There are three sizes: girl, median and big. They range from 32 to 64 cm, with a weight that begins in the 8 kilos and that reaches 33 in the males of large size. As you can see, it is almost possible to talk about three different races by combining sizes with hair, although in Spain it is recognized as one. Character of the Andalusian Podenc This podench has an ambivalent character, since it is one when he is at home and another if he goes to the field. Inside the home, the Andalusian podencus is a quiet animal And very attached to its owner, who will be very faithful and will continue everywhere, predisposed to learn what we teach and very obedient. With the strangers it is distrustful, so it can be a good guard dog when you get to bark if you see someone who does not know. In fact, long ago he kept the farms of his owners. When it goes to the field it is a different dog. Here appears its hunter and independent vein, since it has been selected so that it can hunt autonomously, looking for rabbits and taking them to its owner. Therefore, it is said that it is a stubborn dog, but in reality it does not respond more than what man has asked him for centuries, no matter anything else. Andalusian Podenco Education Educating it is not easy, since you have to know that the instinct is there and that once it goes out to the field there will always be a struggle between the education that we give and the smells that it detects. If we want it as a company dog ​​you have to work hard with him since he is young, insisting on obedience exercises and even taking them a little further and practicing obedience that is called as advanced. We must insist a lot on this, because only this will be able to control when we are in open areas in which there is the presence of animals such as rabbits, as it is scheduled to hunt them. It is best to go to a professional training that can help us, and never stop practicing with him, since if we have it as a company animal that will make your mind be busy. Andalusian Podenco Health  If we are looking for a healthy dog, a race that is not predisposed to genetic diseases like others, this is the Andalusian podench in any of its varieties. The reason for your health is that you have never raised to be pretty, nor have crosses with other races have been made in order to set some specific characteristic, but its breeding has been based on its usefulness. He has only raised with dogs that were good hunters and those who had good health. Thus, and although it sounds hard, those who had some kind of illness did not live much, so only the most suitable have reproduced. This means that now You just have to go to the veterinarian in order to vaccinate it and deworm it every three months. Andalusian Podenco Care  The care is very simple. The hair needs more or less attention depending on the variety, but even if it has long it is formed to brush it a couple of times a week. We must give it a good feed, which contains a lot of energy, since it will spend it. It is not a dog that has a tendency to gain weight, so we can leave the food at your disposal to eat when you are hungry. Need a lot of sport and be entertaining, so it is not the best dog to live in a city, in the classic small floor and go down a few minutes to the park. He will be happy next to a hunter, more if he can go out for rabbits, and also with a very athlete person who takes him to run, to do hiking, to the mountain or we can change this for the agility, a sport in which he is going to have a great time. While he is at home, idle, always We can buy a Kong type toy, with which it will have a good time While taking out all the food inside, and it is also a good idea to make dog toys at your disposal from those who stimulate the brain.  Adopt an Andalusian podench  The adoption of an Andalusian podencus is very simple, since when the hunting season ends they leave quite a lot or take the shelters in the best case. If we call any Andalusian protector or look at their website, it is not uncommon for several podes to be adopted, being able to choose sex and age without problem, as there will even be very small puppies. Before taking it home, you have to think about how much exercise we will be able to provide, since if you spend the whole day in a floor it will soon give problems, barking too much or destroying everything for anxiety. Thus, Maybe it is best to adopt it only if we live in a house in the town With a wide garden, and where to get to the field does not cost us more than cross some streets.

The origins According to Kennel Club de Great Britain, the existence and raising of these dogs are owed to Lord Tweedmouth. He was the one who carried out the crossroads of straight hair with the tweed Water Spaniel, obtaining a light fur dog. Subsequently, other races such as the Irish Setter and Bloodhound would be added to the lineage among other pellet dogs. In 1913 this race was called yellow retriever or gold retriever, remaining until 1920, when it was modified to be known as Golden Retriever. At present, the memory of Lord Tweedmouth and his pellet dogs in Guisachan is honored through the realization of racing -related shows, carried out in his old farm. These shows massively who love these dogs, who consider this site as the cradle of Golden. Physical characteristics of Golden Retriever Among the characteristics that constitute the morphology of Golden Retriever is its average size, where an elongated body predominates with respect to height, covered by an abundant golden fur. Height In this sense, the height to the Machos cross is usually between 56 and 61 centimeters much greater than the females where, the height to the cross is between 51 and 56 centimeters. This according to the standard established by the FCI (International Cinological Federation) that differs from the standard AKC (American Kennel Club) Where, the height to the male cross must be between 58 and 60 centimeters while for females it must be between 54 and 57 centimeters. Weight As for weight, according to the AKC standard, the male must have a volume of 29 to 34 kilograms, while the female must be between 25 and 29 kilograms. Head The proportion of his head maintains harmony with respect to his body presenting a well -defined form by a broad skull. Its frontal naso depression is pronounced, dark, with a good definition that remains flat throughout its extension. His eyes are medium with a wide separation with each other, at whose height the ears that hang on the cheeks are presented on both sides. The snout of the Golden Retriever is wide and deep with a length similar to the frontal Naso depression that reaches the back of the head, a feature that gives it a regular and complete scissor bite thanks to the presence of its strong and powerful maxillary. Body Both in the male and the female the spine is short, strong and muscular, while his chest has deep ribs and with a pronounced curvature that does not take a barrel shape. Line Its tail is thick and muscular in the base inserting at the level of the dorsal line, which gives good stability to its limbs where the previous ones are straight and with a good bone structure, while the subsequent ones are strong and muscular, complemented with round and compact legs, whose appearance qualifies within what is known as a cat's foot. Fur and color He Golden Retriever fur It is a unique characteristic in this species that allows them to distinguish them from other retriever dogs. The hair is presented as a mantle where, the intern is dense and waterproof, while the external can be smooth or wavy, keeping this attached to the body firmly. On the other hand, the fringes of hairs are distributed in the neck, the lower area of ​​the tail and the back of the thighs, also presenting, but in less quantity, on the back of the front legs and in the belly area. As for the hue of the fur, this can grow in chromatic varieties that go from gold to the cream, where the fringes can present a lighter color with respect to the rest of the body. Golden Retriever character and personality A factor that has been decisive in the popularity obtained by the Golden Retriever has been its Temperament characterized by kindness and intelligence. These qualities are very useful tools in the training process, facilitating in the dog the assimilation of instructions. Thanks to this, the Golden has managed to position himself not only as a domestic dog, but also as a productive element in the performance of different functions such as resistant in rescue groups, in therapies, as a police dog and also as a firefighter dog. The emotional maturation process to achieve its definitive character is slow, approximately about 3 years or a little more. However, being playful is something that will be part of his personality even being adults. This constitutes a reason why it is a very appreciated dog in families with children. Predominant instincts Among the impulses that include the nature of Golden Retriever are those related to hunting, a practice in which they are very well used in the search and obtaining of the dam. This generates a reward for effective fulfillment of your work. However, it is necessary to take into account that these instincts are not naturally linked to gratification since, although their behavior shows trends towards persecution and capture, carrying the object or dam to the hunter is not something that is implicitly implicit in these processes, being necessary for it to apply a training routine. The Golden can play for hours without reflecting any tired symptom. This is an element of motivation that can be used to channel their energies and guide them properly in the development of certain behaviors. However, it can also be counterproductive in those excessively energetic specimens. Together with all this, it is also worth highlighting his ability to swim. You can dive into the water and enjoy it for a long time thanks to the waterproof character of its fur that protects it from cold. Golden Retriever care In this section, the Golden Retriever It is not a race that requires much maintenance. To conserve a good state of health only requires good nutrition, medical review of routine with the veterinarian from time to time and a good dose of exercise. And, of course, much affection and attention to your needs complementing these mentioned care. The food This must be made up of a solid diet After the breastfeeding stage has overcome. At this stage, all the nutrients required to sustain their development will be provided. In this sense, it is best to go to a veterinarian to properly establish a diet according to nutritional needs. During the Puppy stage, the food is supplied for between 3 and 4 times a day, also making sure to place water to keep it hydrated. However, care must be taken with the portions, since Supercharging can cause obesity in Golden Therefore, it must be complemented with an adequate exercise routine to help maintain its weight at a stable value. Care of fur and hygiene He hair brushing It must be done once a day, with a brush of metal bristles, taking into account that these dogs tend to lose a lot of hair, especially during the time that the mute of it occurs. For this reason, if you do not keep frequently in brushing, it can cause detached hair to reach your furniture and clothes or worse, they will end up getting in their body creating the conducive conditions for the appearance of the dreaded and undesirable fleas. The routine of bathroom It should only be done when it is dirty, since frequent cleaning can cause damage to the protective layer of your fur. Be sure to use a shampoo that is specially designed to be used in them. An alternative that is very useful to avoid bathe are frequently the use of a dry shampoo or a humid cloth. It is also recommended, to perform a complete review of the body in search of any symptoms that denote a skin disease, as well as parasites. Exercise and lifestyle The Golden Retriever is a race that demands a lot of affection and attention. They do not support isolation. They must be in constant interaction with people and can become very attached, easily familiar with anyone who is not their owner. In case of not receiving the required attention, it will resort to biting things or digging holes in the garden as a mechanism to combat anxiety. Due to its constant energy, it is necessary Establish an exercise routine that serves as an exhaust valve to appropriately channel anxiety. It is advisable to take it for a walk 2 times a day, complementing this action with physical exercise, games or sport. Golden Retriever's education and training There is no doubt that Intelligence is one of the most notable attributes in the Golden Retriever. It constitutes an advantage of which you can get a lot of profit when you have to educate and train it. During the puppy stage you must teach you the routine you must follow to urinate. Along with this, the development of other habits that allow to develop their teeth through the use of toys must also be encouraged. With them you can learn to control the bite properly, as well as the fulfillment of basic orders such as sitting, lying down and going to the call of its owner. These keys will serve as a preamble to perform more strict training in their adult stage in which some tricks and exercises that stimulate their motor and cognitive abilities can be incorporated. The key to achieving this is the Use of positive reinforcement. With this method better results are obtained regarding other types of Canine training. Golden Retriever's health In general, the Golden Retriever is a dog that presents a healthy physical condition allowing him to achieve A life expectancy between 10 and 12 years. But for this to be possible, it is necessary to take it periodically to the veterinarian (every 6 months in the puppy stage and once a year being an adult). In this way it can be ensured that all the organs of your body are working properly and also discard, the presence of some symptom that may be the indication of the appearance of some disease. Added to this, the veterinarian must set a vaccination calendar in which he can monitor all the injections he receives for his immunization. As well as also subjecting deworming. In this breed there is propensity for the development of hereditary diseases that can influence the reduction of estimated life expectancy. Puppies from pet stores tend to have more likely to suffer from them, as well as those, the result of the cross between dogs whose selection was not made appropriately. In addition to these cases, hereditary diseases can also occur in specimens with pedigree. They can develop diseases such as hip dysplasia, elbow, obesity, cancer, cataracts and progressive retinal atrophy.

If there is a characteristic dog of the Iberian Peninsula, that is the Spanish greyhound, one of the oldest lines we have in Spain and that is distributed by the country, although it is concentrated mainly on the central plateau. It has always been a hunting dog, and is still used to catch hares to the race, but little by little it is becoming an ideal company dog ​​for those who exercise a lot of exercise. Size: 50 to 70 cm to the cross. It is a large breed. Weight: between 20 and 30 kilos. Hair type: Very short and smooth. Easy to take care of. Character: sensitive and docile with its owner, shy and suspicious with others. Health: iron. Life expectancy: Around 12 years. Spanish greyhound history As with all dog races, its origin is unknown. It is true that there are dogs with a similar morphology in the Egyptian paintings, but in them we find dogs that resemble the current ones, which does not mean that they come from Egypt. What seems to have a greater base is the Celtic or Roman origin and already in the second century to. C. Nicodemia Arrian, who was consul of Bética, described hunting with Galgo, just like the one that is now practiced in his treaty called Cynegeticus. In it, this consul said that there were greyhounds with hard and short hair (like the current ones) and that in Hispania the hunting of the hare was a custom of all the inhabitants of the area, even if they were not rich. The tradition that already existed in Roman times is consolidated as the reconquest advances from the north, so much so that in the fueros that were given to the conquered areas (a kind of codes in which the laws that ruled there were recapitulated) the theft of these animals with death was punished. Leaving aside the legs we saw in the Egyptian paintings, the first representation in which we see a perfectly recognizable Spanish greyhound dates back to the twelfth century, where in mural paintings of a hermitage of a town of Soria (Caltojar) we see a hunting scene with these dogs. The race remained very present, so much that in the seventeenth century we have the mention in Quijote to the "Galgo Corredor", which means that in rural areas it was an important animal for its inhabitants to have fun and take some food to the mouth. Despite having survived so many centuries, and without mixing with other races, At the beginning of the 20th century he was about to disappear because of the crosses that were made with Greyhound or English greyhound. This aberration was due to the fact that the races in the canodrome were very fashionable in England and arrived in Spain, so that a larger and more fast dog was needed than the Spanish greyhound. Luckily, the race could be recovered thanks to the hunters who retained the greyhound as it was, because although the crossing with the English made it faster, it made it a weak dog for the hunting of the hare in nature, thus eliminating the resistance that is the great trick of this animal in the field. Spanish greyhound characteristics The Spanish greyhounds are of such dogs with which there is no possible confusion, because when we see one, even to many meters, we know that we are facing one of our breeds with more solera. His body is what makes it so recognizable, since it is a great -raised dog (between 50 and 70 cm), but in turn very thin, so sharp that it seems that it is going to break, although it is very strong. In fact, when we approach we realize that its more than 20 kilos are of pure fiber and that it is very muscular, although in its fair measure to be functional, since it has selected centuries in order to run behind the hares in the open field. Both the ability of your lungs and your heart is incredible, since There are few animals that can run at 60 km/h for long distances, which is what a greyhound does when it goes behind a hare. As for the colors, having been an animal that has barely stepped on the exhibitions and that has been used for hunting, in its standard they all allow themselves and in any combination, although it seems that in recent years the darkest attempts are prioritized and the black color. Character and behavior We are facing a very sensitive dog, which we must take into account when we deal with him, and especially when training him. With its owner it is very affectionate, as with the family, but it is not one of those animals that is always on top of us, because it needs its vital space and that is why we will see that sometimes "goes to your air." It is not aggressive with strangers and treats them with caution, without getting too close until you don't know them as if they were afraid, perhaps the result of being one of the worst races treated in our country. With other dogs he has no problems, since they have always lived with many of their race, so that aggressiveness has never been a desirable characteristic, neither with dogs nor with humans. We must be careful with cats, especially at the beginning, because you can see them as a dam to hunt, which will be fatal if you have a little space to develop all your speed. This behavior changes completely when it goes to the field, where it becomes a predator that will look for its prey, running after all the hares you see until it runs out or kills some. The training and education that we give will not help if you see a dam, something that we must take into account if we go to the field and know that there are wild animals nearby, since we will not be able to control it. Health Your health is iron. Without fear of being wrong, it is possible to say that it is one of the races with the strongest health and this is the result of the selection that has been made. For centuries they have only raised with the best greyhounds, those most strong and the ones who ran the most, eliminating the weak or those who were not able to catch the hares. This, which seems cruel and that is, has spread to this day, since it continues to be done in the rural world, which has made this animal need the visit to a veterinarian throughout its life. If you go to a clinic, it is almost always the result of a problem due to hunting, since in certain land the legs are destroyed and despite this they continue to run. There are a couple of diseases that affect this race and one is bone cancer, against which you can do little at this time and the other is the Torsieithergastric n. The torsion is known by all the owners of dogs of large breeds and giants And it can be prevented, preventing them from drinking a lot of water at once and not feeding a couple of hours before running or two hours later. They can live around twelve years, which is a high figure if we take into account how big it is, something that indicates that it has an out of the ordinary. Care and food of the Spanish greyhound Both care and food are easy, although they must keep in mind that we are facing an athlete, more if we usually run with it. What care must be given? It is essential that you exercise a lot, which makes your life in the city complicated. It is not that it is impossible to have it on one floor and take it out several times to walk to the park, but you need to run in open spaces and that is complicated in an urban green area, full of people, dogs and obstacles. Thus, it is best to have it in a rural area and in them it will always be more at ease in both plateaus, its natural place where it will have the possibility of running in huge plains with nothing that stops it. Of course, you have to be careful where we carry it, avoiding areas with olive trees, vineyards, fenced, since once you run does not look at the ground that steps on and you can do a lot of damage, so that you should check your legs every time we go out with it to the field. The hair is very easy to take care of, since you have nothing to do. Maybe pass a rubber mud over once or twice a week And the bathrooms can be very spaced over time, since it does not get dirty. To the ears we will have to pay more attention, observing them in case it brings any spike nailed and cleaning them with some regularity with a specific product, otherwise it can contract some infection. Feeding Food is like any other dog. We will give you a I think of the best quality that we can afford and we will only have to look for something more if we do a lot of sports daily. If we take it to hunt, during that time it is convenient to consume a specific food for dogs with high activity, which usually contain a greater proportion of protein in order to "give food" to the muscles. We will do the same if we go with him daily several km, although if he does at our rhythm he can eat a normal feed, something that we will check according to fluctuate his weight. Curiosities of the Spanish greyhound It is often said that dogs do not go cold, but that is not the case of our greyhound. His hair, together with a very low body fat rate, makes it tremble when temperatures fall. It is not uncommon that he does not want to leave on the worst days of winter or when it rains, so that one of the first accessories that we will buy if a greyhound arrives home will be a coat, better if it is one of those that also serves as a raincoat. The necklace you need is special. Because of their hair type and the neck shape you have to put a collar made by thinking about greyhounds, which differs from the normal ones in which it is much wider. We can acquire an artisanal one made of leather, how well careful it will last a lifetime of the greyhound and that gives it an aspect of the most elegant, majestic, which perhaps is one of the adjectives that best defines the race. When hunting does not see anything other than the hare. This fixation is such that dogs that have died from heart attacks and exhaustion are not rare after being a long time after a hare that resisted. Therefore, we have to be careful with him when we go out to the field. It is one of the most battered dogs in our country and that is most seen in the protectors to adopt them. In fact, there are already thousands of copies in countries such as Holland or Germany, where they are horrified when they know what these animals should happen. Unfortunately, it is still customary to kill them if they have a bad season, they become older or get sick, and it is not uncommon to see them abandoned by the peoples once the closure closes, although luckily it is a custom that is lost. They have a vision range of 270 degrees, which allows them to see the hares even when they go behind them. This gives a great advantage when hunting, although luckily for the hares most of the hunting sets end with this lagomorph escaping the dogs and with the fans enjoying a good career. Given their exercise needs, they are usually training using a motorcycle or even tied to cars mirrors and adapting the speed to that of animals.

The information about its origin, care, physical appearance, health and the care that this dog needs you will find in this complete guide of the breed, especially prepared for all those who wish to know more about this type of can. Discover all the details about the unique sausage dog in the following paragraphs! Origin of Teckel Although its origin is considered in part of the 18th century, in Germany The history of Dachshund dates approximately the Middle Ages. This Can is one of those that was imposed on the different crosses of sits to obtain a race with appropriate physical characteristics for hunting underground. His unique morphology made a valuable resource for hunting and tracking under the surface, especially in the capture of will. In fact, the name «Dachshund"In German it means" tissue dog, "attributed to this can for its highlighting ability to catch these animals. In addition to these skills, their surface performance also obtained great recognition. These sausage dogs were qualified as excellent barking, tracker and very skilled in persecutions. Therefore, his preference as vigilantes and companion dogs was an aspect that became characteristic of the race. In 1888 the first German club of La Raza was founded, known as Deutscher Teckelklub, when the first official standard of the race was written. All this caused that the attractiveness of the breed grew to international levels, causing the first presentation of these dogs to be carried out in a canine exhibition in England. Still today, Deutscher Teckelklub is the institution that is considered official When this dog is referred to. In fact, the standard published in 1989, from this institution, are those that have forged the reputation of the breed formally. At present, this race continues to be one of the most recognized dogs worldwide. Today three breed sizes are highlighted: the standard, the miniature and the one known as Kaninchen. Its popularity has been on a large scale thanks to its qualities, but in greater area, for its peculiar aspect. Physical characteristics of the race If there is something to highlight from Dachshund is your Singular physical appearance, not in vain is known as "sausage dog." And is that his little body is elongated, in the form of a sausage, but in turn has a great muscles and strength. His shortened size, obviously longer than high, has not been an impediment for this Can to have great skill and above all a remarkable courage. Let's see below the most highlighting physical characteristics of these canines. Size and weight This breed does not have specifications regarding its size in the official standard. However, it is common to find within its variety different measures. In general, height can be averaged between 25 and 30 centimeters to the cross and a weight of up to 10 kilograms a maximum. Face Dachshund has an elongated head. From a frontal view, his face is widely evidenced, specifically his snout. However, as it progresses towards the tip it becomes slightly narrower. It has a large nose, out, black. His eyes are also quite pronounced, oval, whose colors are variants between different shades of brown and black. The ears of these dogs are of high insertion, but enough and rounded enough to become evident, which gives them great mobility. Extremities Dachshund's legs are not very long but quite strong, well arched and not so separate. Your pads are strong and quite resistant, which provides you with great skill. Line It has a long and well -implanted tail. Of low insertion and with a slight curve on the tip. Teckel fur As peculiar as their physical texture is the fur of these dogs, as there are three specific varieties: short hair, hard hair and long hair. As for the colors, there are a lot of variations in which they can be found, whether unicolor, bicolor or stained, range from reddish to yellow, with black spots, among others. In addition, a way of identifying the existing teckel variety is through its fur, as three types are distinguished: Short hair They were the most popular, presenting their smooth, bright and quite dense fur, also covering their entire little body. Hard hair The characteristic of hard hair dogs is that they have a combination of the layers: external and internal, throughout the body, except for ears, eyebrows and snout. Although they were the last to appear, these hard -haired dogs gained great popularity and, until today, they still maintain it. Long hair While long -haired ones have a notable extension of hair, especially in areas such as the neck, where it is observed longer; His canvas is smooth, bright and stuck to the body. These dogs have also become very recognized, especially at the beginning of the 20th century, where fans and exhibition lovers placed their gaze on the long -haired teckel. Dachshund varieties Although the breed is commonly established with the distinction of the standard, time after its appearance, Two more copies arose with distinctive characteristics, more specifically its size, because it was smaller than that of the common copy. These variants were the result of various crosses in order to carry out more specialized fighters. These specimens are: the miniature (or dwarf) and the Kaninchen, also known as Rabbit hunting specimen. Although the differences between the race are few, in attitude and skills they can be distinguished with great ease. The standard Dachshund was selected for their skills and appearance for tracking and hunting are foxes and will. And, on the other hand, the miniature and the Kaninchen, for being less stature, were appropriately included in the hunting of hares and rabbits respectively, whose trade was made by the ferrets. However, its wild temperament did not give good results to hunters. Once these specimens were appeared with great skill, they were ventured into the hunt for the aforementioned dams. However, in the case of the Kaninchen, his parenting was not very fortunate due to frequent genetic alterations. This resulted in the species with the lowest number of copies. Because its maintenance and care required an exaggerated dedication by the breeders of this race. A characteristic aspect of this variety of Dachshund is that, although they are distinguished by their dimensions, what is considered within this distinction is not precisely. In fact, the International Cinological Federation (FCI) It does not have a standard of this aspect. However, to identify each specimen of the race, the size of your chest is considered. Being characterized as follows: Standard Its chest diameter must be up to 35 centimeters, and its weight usually does not exceed 10 kilograms. Miniature 30 or 35 cm in diameter in your chest. Kaninchen 30 cm in a maximum chest diameter. Because the differences are very scarce between the dimensions of each species, the dogs are expected to reach at least 15 months of life to carry out the corresponding measurement of their chest. Teckel behavior A combination of strength, vitality, energy and ideal security for hunting, with the presence of loyalty, fun, joy and excellent affection as a company animal, is what Mainly defines the Technakel temperament. It is, without a doubt, a very balanced animal, with a difficult character to find in some other race, because it provides practically everything an owner wants. We talk about A dog with a very flexible adaptation capacity, so you can live with total tranquility in the city, in a small space, or fully enjoy the outdoor life offered by the countryside. In any case, these dogs will serve as exceptional partners. They are brave, willing and always active dogs, so their company will be full of fun and entertainment. Although they do not require excessive exercise routines, they enjoy in large outdoor walks and especially games. Coexistence Although they are very sociable dogs with their family nucleus, those who consider it close without hesitation will be delivered and loyal. However, it is a bit difficult to educate, because they are also a bit third, so they require firmness and leadership by its tutor to establish the basic orders. As for the presence of other animals, the teckel can have problems, because it is a hunting animal, so in the presence of smaller animals they will feel the innate impulse to persecute them like their prey. Before other dogs it can also be somewhat uncomfortable, as they are usually very territorial and nothing sociable with other canines are shown. However, socialization at an early age can be a solution to this problem. Apart from what has been said, these dogs can have some behavioral problems, such as excessive barking or frequently excavating in gardens, because by their hunter nature under the earth, there is the tendency to adopt these behaviors. The proper education of these dogs will ensure that behavior problems are minimized and is their adorable and fun personality that prevails in their daily lives, together with their family. Teckel training As reference was made in the previous section, this is a canine breed of great intelligence, so your education is not difficult if appropriate considerations are taken and, in addition, it starts from early weeks of the puppy's life. It's about A very sure dog of yourself, balanced but with great presence, which in many cases is underestimated by its physical appearance and size. Sometimes, these dogs are given the same treatment of a simple domesticated company dog, ignoring that it is a hunting animal with a stunned, active and progressively controllable personality. This requires not only a owner dedicated to the canine education, but also a connoisseur of the race to be appropriate for the training process carried out with these dogs. One of the main points that should be considered is to be firm, as a leader who will guide the dog in his training. To do this, it is not necessary to assume an authoritarian and aggressive figure, but to make clear with actions who takes the reins of training. Once this position is established, it is important to begin education with socialization, in the first instance with its environment, other animals and people. This will allow the dog to develop with a broader sense of coexistence, especially with other animals, and do not feel invaded in some cases. After this step, showing the basic orders for the canine will help you establish guidelines in your behavior, a topic that in many cases is not done and end up appearing behavior problems such as biting furniture, hiding objects and excavating excessively, mistreating the gardens. These aspects are the ones that require the most dedication by the tutor of this dog.

In addition, they came to associate with pharaohs that gave him worship and identified him as a sacred dog. Around 1800 this race was transferred to Europe, however, its existence in this geography was not lasting because a disease ended the existing specimens. It was but after the 30s that the species was possible to move to England and, years later in 1941, to the United States, taking preventive measures to ensure the preservation of the race.

He is intelligent and also very active, he loves to stay in constant exercise and doing activities. It also always remains alert. In situations, strange places or people it is really distrustful, and if you perceive any danger or risk, you can respond aggressively. This means that education is of great importance. Despite this detail in their character, the Basenji are not highly recommended in families where there are young children. As we have already mentioned, they have great ability to hunt, this is a positive factor for those who love these outdoor activities. However, in animal coexistence, this can represent a problem, because they can attack unexpectedly in some cases. Commonly they usually get along with other animals, but encouraging socialization from very early is the best method to combat this situation. Because it is a very energetic race, it requires, to a large extent, the performance of exercises. The lack of these can generate aggressive behaviors in the animal. Although it is a strong and independent dog, it requires attention and affection, but not exaggerated. Showing affection and maintaining the time of games and performing activities together will be enough to keep you happy. As already said, it is a little barking dog.

Internalize and memorize orders is not a rapid aspect for this breed. However, this does not mean that I cannot learn them. Those who have a pet base must have time for training and patience so as not to despair while training the race.

Because, if this time exceeds, both the owner and the dog can be exhausted and irritated by the incessant practice of the same lesson, and this would generate stress and anxiety in both, which is not recommended. Another aspect of importance to educate him is to always maintain positive reinforcement, since education through aggressiveness and intolerance can cause stress and rebellion at the time of receiving orders in practices. Trying to always maintain the reward and recognition of the realization of good actions is essential to establish bonds of trust that strengthen the training of the animal. Constancy is another key factor for the education of the Congo dog, going progressively and coordinating one in one the lessons that will learn is very important.
