According to the theory, Friedrich, with The purpose of finding a loyal dog but of appearance and formidable size That it was appropriate to protect you in your tax collection work, began the crossing of different dogs. Until you reach the gray and brown doberman. Races like great Danish, sheauce shepherd and mainly ROTTWEILER, were the canines on which the crossing that gave rise to this powerful canine race was based, that explains its mysterious appearance and with a touch of aggressiveness that brings, in many cases, fear and danger as the first expectation for those who see it. It is one of the newest races in the canine world, however, it is also one of the most popularity accredited, due to its important appearance in different series and films, above all, those related to police. As a guard dog, protector and vigilant, it is one of the most successful elections, not in vain, during the war, the German armies were armed with more than 6 thousand copies of these canines, which also have great capacity for attention and an aguerrida attitude. At present, the doberman is not considered one of the best company dog ​​options. This is because his appearance has made him creditor of reputation for aggressiveness. However, this aspect will depend greatly on the education you receive. In this way, it can be one of the most loyal and helpful dogs to its owners. Physical characteristics of Dberman The perception of a guard dog It is the first that comes to mind when we see a copy of this race, this due to the appearance and bearing that this popular race has. A muscular dog, with athletic context, well formed. Robust, but in turn profiled and elegant. A imposing security image It is what is perceived at first glance of a doberman. With well -defined, strong but not excessively thick limbs, they are long and provide great agility and resistance to these canines. Let's see more details about the physical appearance of Dob: Weight and height His height is one of the details that make the greatest echo to his fame of athletic dog and care.

Thick at the base and a little narrower towards the tip. It is covered by the black and short fur of these dogs. Fur Dberman's hair is, at all times, Short, bright, fine and above all soft. A quite characteristic silkiness of the race is what makes the fur of these really interesting dogs. Until now, the only accepted color is black, in combination with fire color, which contrast practically in the middle of its body, especially in the face. Temper To affirm that it is a high -risk dog, or with high levels of aggressiveness in its temperament, is one of the most common mistakes made with this race. While it is true that has a very marked personality, we must reiterate that the behavior of the doberman, like that of other canines, is really influenced by the education they receive. What can be highlighted from the personality of these dogs is loyalty to their relatives, it is a protective can, who He will not hesitate to protect the integrity of his family above anything. We also talk about a playful, affectionate dog and very attached to his family group. Although he also shows himself independent and sure of himself, so he requires the presence of a loving but determined owner, capable of providing orders properly and guiding him in his day to day. These dogs are athletic, so they require adequate space to remain in constant movement. In addition, they are very workers and collaborators, therefore, they are ideal in field activities and outdoor life. On the issue of coexistence, These dogs are usually very territorial, so the presence of other pets can be uncomfortable at the beginning, but will later adapt, above all, if socialization begins from an early age. In relation to other people, such as good surveillance dogs, they are distrustful before the arrival of an unknown individual, and although he will not show his powerful denture in the first instance, he may be restless and alert. However, once this person receives the approval and reception of its owner, this dog will remain quieter, although it will always be alert. Even if you don't seem like it, These dogs are very good companions for the little ones in the house, because they are energetic and love the games. However, it is necessary to maintain constant supervision, because their strength and energy can cause unwanted accidents, although this can will not want to cause damage.

Starting with socialization with its environment, animals and other people is ideal, in this way, the canine will recognize aspects closer to it and establish links that will allow it to adapt more easily. On the other hand, and of great importance, it is to practice basic orders such as, for example, to sit, stop, walk, obey the word "no", among others. This is key, especially when the canine is a bit aggressive. It is necessary that the identification of these orders be totally effective, so you will be sure that it will obey in any situation that requires your intervention. One aspect that you should consider in the education of the doberman is that for nothing in the world you can teach them with education based on screaming, mistreatment or punishments, because at the moment it can become uncomfortable for the dog and arouse a negative attitude in it. The presence of positive reinforcement, motivation techniques and especially the security of who trained them are key for the dog to feel comfortable and can adequately perform in training.

When we see an American bulldog we have a rare feeling, then It seems to be seeing a giant English bulldog and in a way it is so, since this breed in its origin was how the American is now and had little to do with the animals that can barely move what we have now. The lineage of the "American cousin" comes from England, although it developed separately in the new continent in which it adapted to some functions that saved it from the complete extinction, which was about to happen. Size: medium or large, depending on the line to which it belongs. Weight: 55 to 70 kilos. Hair type: Short, smooth and thick. Character: strong. Affectionate with its owners, but it can be very territorial and dominant. Health: Very good due to how it has been selected for decades. Life expectancy: 12 to 14 years. Origin of American Bulldog Here we cannot go back many centuries, as it happens with European breeds, but you just have to go at the beginning of the 19th century, when England emigration to the United States was very large. With the emigrants were their dogs and among them was the one who was then the English bulldog, whose appearance resembled that of which today is the American bulldog, a powerful, strong and functional dog. While the English race crossed Pugs in order to become the companion dog that is today, when the harassment of bulls was banned as sport, it remained intact on the other side of the ocean. The emigrants took advantage of the strength of these animals and used them in the guard of their properties and also in hunting, without any care when raising them and crossing them, since for them it was a mere working dog. His jaw also helped a lot at cattle fairs, where he could hold the cattle without suffocating for his snout, and we must also mention that he was used in dog fights in the United States. In addition to all these tasks, some to forget, one of the ones that did best was the hunting of wild pigs, which were introduced in North America, and that not having predators became a plague. In fact, it is said that this was what saved him from extinction, then At the end of World War II there were no copies of the race as such and only resurfaced thanks to the efforts of John D. Johnson, an ex -combatant who returned home decided that he had to do something. He looked for the best specimens that remained and began a breeding program, which has arrived until today with the participation of many people, although the race has not yet been recognized by the International Canine Federation.   Characteristics of the American Bulldog One of its main characteristics is your physique. We immediately realize that we are facing an athletic dog, with enormous strength and with a very powerful jaw. Right now there are two breeding lines. One is the so -called "bully" that gives heavier specimens and the other is called "standard" and gives lighter dogs. Therefore, in the standard of the breed a maximum weight is not mentioned, nothing more than is provided with respect to the body. The elevation is large, from 53 to 67 centimeters to the cross, which combined with a weight that is around 40 kilos in males makes it impose respect for anyone who sees it. By standard it must have prognathism, the lower jaw is advanced with respect to the superior, which makes it bite even more force, something that comes from its time when it faced bulls and other animals. The hair is very short and at least 10% of your body must be white, although almost all dogs have the mantle of this color, accepting almost all except for black, blue, mirlo and tricolor. Despite how strong it is, when they walk they have to give a feeling of fluidity, that they move with total ease without their weight affecting them. There is a number of differences between both lines, which in our opinion helps little to the race, or at least to recognize it internationally. In fact, even the different American clubs differ in what they allow or not, accepting one of them that cut their tail. American bulldog character He is very comfortable with those who consider his own, with his owner and his family. With them he will be affectionate and very protective, but That changes with the strangers who do not accept as well as And it will only relax if they see that they are friends or acquaintances of their owners. It is very territorial, which makes it an exceptional guard dog (its origins are in the care of farms), but that can cause us some problem, especially with other dogs that it does not accept. Therefore, and in order that it is not dangerous when we are away from home, the best thing we can do is socialize it from a very young age, surround it with other dogs and people as soon as you have the first vaccines placed. In fact, It would not be a bad idea to visit a trainer soon, especially if we notice that he begins to want to dominate us or show aggressiveness at very early ages.   American bulldog health They have a very strong health, since we must not forget that since their appearance they were selected in order to be useful on farms and for hunting, so the specimens with tares and less agile were discarded. Now, breeders take into account health, much more than in other races, although As a large dog there are diseases that can be suffered, among which are hip dysplasia and elbow. Completely white animals suffer more allergies than usual and also deafness, which is a common disorder to the dogs of other races with this mantle. They usually snoring the shape of the head, although this is not a problem and the eyes are another of their weak points, especially if we choose a puppy of one of the lines that focus a lot on “creating” very striking heads, because that makes their eyes cry. They live between 12 and 14 years, almost a record in dogs of this weight and size, so that choosing a good breeder we have assured that health problems will be uncommon. Feeding As with all dogs, you always have to seek a feed of quality, better if it is of premium range, of those that do not carry grains and that are manufactured with flesh or fish suitable for human consumption. Yes indeed, We must know that they are quite tragons, so they have a tendency to gain weight and your weight will have to be controlled Throughout his life, for which we can take measures such as using a I think light. When choosing it we will always do it according to the veterinarian, who will be the one to pay for the amounts that he must eat in order to be healthy. Anyway, we can avoid obesity if we give it the recommended portions for its weight, with the exact amount, seeing how it affects their body because not all dogs have the same metabolism, so that we can go up or lowering the amount depending on whether it thinns or fattens. It is convenient that we give some of those snacks that they sell to clean the teeth, that they will be healthier while doing what this race like is to eat. What care do you need? His care is very simple, starting with his hair, very short and dense, that it is barely necessary to brush, because we do it once a week with a mituation or rubber comb. The bathrooms can also be spaced if you do not stain in mud areas or smells badly, and we will always wear a dog shampoo with this type of mantle, although it will not be necessary if we brush it every week. Yes you have to be a little more careful with eyes and ears. The former usually cry a lot, so we can clean them with gauze and physiological serum, at least once every two days or when we see that tears accumulate. As for the ears, like all the dogs that have the closed auditory pavilion, they have some tendency to otitis. We can clean them with the same serum and the gauze we use in the eyes or with a product for the cleaning of ears. We will go to the veterinarian if you have otitis, something we will know if you walk with your head tilted and shake it a lot, and also because of the bad smell that the inside of the ear gives off.   How much exercise does the American Bulldog need? The American bulldog is a dog that must exercise, but always with some moderation. You can run next to its owner and go to the bike side, although It is important that we avoid the days with very hot, because it can suffer a collapse due to the shape of its jaw, being an animal that breathes worse than other dogs. The physical constitution is what limits it, because it will not be the fastest dog or the first in Agility competitions, although it can practice various sports disciplines. Anyway, he will settle for the walks that we give daily like any other dog, because he will not leave them to run ten km every day. Summarizing, it is an animal that is formed with a moderate exercise And that you can do some of more intensity if we help you a little, although for this it is best to visit the veterinarian before in order to check how you have the hips and elbows. Can I have an American bulldog? This is a race that can live with us in the city if we have a wide floor, because it is a large dog that should not be locked in 30 square meters. You will have enough to leave several times to the park and we can release it so that we run whenever we have the opportunity, that is, when it does not bother, nor scare anyone and cannot fight with other dogs. The greatest limitation to have an American bulldog is experience, since as happens with all races of this type, it is not the best for those who have not had dogs before, since their character is usually very strong. It is true that we can take them to a trainer to help us, but It is better that if it is our first dog we opt for another race with less force and less territorial, which will not give us problems. When it comes to having a very strong race, it is not usually mentioned, but the truth is that we should have a certain physical strength to be able to get an American bulldog to the street, since if we lack it it is likely that we end up on the ground without the possibility of controlling it if it attacks, something that can happen. If it is well socialized, there is no problem in which you live with children, especially if you have raised with them from puppy. In fact, it is normal for protecting the children from their family to a point that it is advisable to comment to strangers not to approach the little ones when bulldog is with them. Finally, despite the fact that it is a rather stubborn dog and Cabazota, the truth is that training is not as complicated as it may seem to the naked eye. In fact, they usually learn tricks very quickly and do not take long to sit, shake hands, etc., although another thing is that we get well with other dogs.

The most obvious difference, and what is recognized at first glance is the dog's fur, the Gorbeiakoa has a more silky mantle, soft and, in general, well attached to the body while the iletsua, of lighter tones, has a more rough and slightly curly fur, which looks bulky. Although the RSCE recognizes two varieties of the same race, the two associations that represent it in Spain (on the one hand Eate (official and that acts nationwide) and, on the other eata (friendly association and acting at the regional level), they have, among their main objectives, to achieve that they are recognized as what they are, that is, two different races, as confirmed by the ancestral knowledge of the people of the Basque country scope of the university, where a doctoral thesis that opened the route to the admission of the breeding in the RSCE was defended in 1995. Life, you can choose a Basque pastor with the assurance of choosing well. Gos d´Atura or the Berger des pyrénées. The iletsua can be distinguished by the following characteristics: The iletsua is among those who are considered woolly dogs, its fur is longer and funder than that of Gorbeiakoa. His fur is grinding blonde or cinnamon. Their ears are located behind the head. They can measure between 47 and 61 centimeters. Its weight, according to the standard, ideal varies between 17 and 29 kilos the females and between 18 and 36 kilos the males. His snout is shorter than that of Gorbeiakoa. Its tail is a little shorter than that of Gorbeiakoa, but it is not a difference too pronounced. For its part, Euskal Artzain Txakurra Gorbeiakoa or Basque Pastor is a dog of stylized lines. If we want to make comparisons, we can find similarities between this grazing dog with races such as German shepherd, he Belgian shepherd and the Border Collie inter alia. As a curiosity, it is well documented that the Australian shepherd It is an heiress breed of the Gorbeiakoa who traveled with the Basque families that emigrated to Australia. The Basque pastor can be distinguished by the following characteristics: His face is clearer with hair. Its color, according to the RSCE is the Fuego red, known as redness with frequent darkening in snout. Its tail is long and very leafy fur. It is a race of medium dog, it can measure up to 60 centimeters tall to the cross (the union of the scapulae with the neck). It has an athletic and muscular contexture Basque pastor dog puppies The most important stage are the first months of life of the puppy. First, you have to make sure the dog's origins. Choosing a breeder but and responsible will make the difference between a healthy and balanced dog of one that is not. You have to have very Puppies They should not leave the nest until they turn at least two months of age, this period in which they will learn to relate to their mother, their brothers and the people who live in the environment. The first three months of the puppy's life will determine the degree of socialization they will have during the rest of their life. To all of the above, of course it is essential to ensure that the dog has been administered by the vaccines that correspond to him according to his age, that the microchip has been placed. Finally, it is very important to ask the breeder for the puppy's parents to prevent mixture between consanguineous dogs to be the cause of genetic diseases in the animal. For the latter there is the pedigree that is not more than a canine family tree. All of the above is only the previous period before the puppy arrives home, only then will begin the real work which requires time, patience and love although as everyone knows, the rewards are much greater than the sacrifices. Keep in mind that there are precious copies of this race that have been abandoned and that they need a family, so, it is always necessary to consider the possibility of going to one of them (even outside the Basque Country) and rescuing an animal from one of the many protectors. If you opt for this option, you must keep in mind that there are several requirements that you must meet. Among these are of legal age, demonstrate responsibility for the care of your pet and sign a contract where it is certified that you will not use it for breeding. The process also verifies whether you can adopt any specimen that has been previously abandoned, before being able to access a puppy with little birth. Likewise, in this case, once the puppy is acquired, you must take it to your local veterinarian to administer the corresponding deworming and vaccines plan. On the other hand, there is the option to go to a breeder specialized in the race. At present there are hardly any breeders dedicated to Basque shepherds. It must be remembered that a responsible breeder is not a person who is dedicated to selling dogs, but a person who loves animals, opts for a particular breed and allows you to have one of his puppies, in return, you help breeding paying a amount of money. A responsible breeder will make you sign a contract, think that not only do you choose a puppy but that the breeder also chooses you, because he hopes that you can seek a healthy and happy home to the animal. Confirm a lot about puppy's feeding during your first months of life, supplying the special food for your age and weight, you will avoid allergies, indigestions and make sure you grow strong and healthy. Also avoid giving your puppy sweets, chocolates, seasoned foods ... for example, chocolate is a toxic food that does a lot of damage to dogs. The Euskal Artzain Txakurra, like all dogs, need to be educated and the earlier education, the better habits will acquire for the rest of their life. He thinks that the puppy will do almost everything that does not prohibit him, it is important to teach him (with positive reinforcements and never mistreat him) what is the space in which he can be at all times, which is the place where he must do his needs etc. There are very good publications in this regard but keep in mind that you will receive thousands of different advice from different people so it is best to trust experts. Think that when they see you with the puppy, everyone will want to tell you what you should do, as in football or in politics in which everyone believes to be a better coach or president than the coach or the president, in the world of dogs, the coach and the president is you for what at the end, it is you responsible and you should avoid being confused with bad advice. To help you, here you can find specialized trainers tutorials. When the puppy arrives home, on more than one occasion (perhaps in more than 100 occasions) they will behave inappropriately, remember that you are the one who must educate them, therefore, a bad behavior that extends over time is the cause of not having been corrected in time for you. If they misbehave, which is the most common during their puppies, since they are beginning to know their surroundings and everything is new, attractive and interesting for them and, in addition, they will want to explore everything with their sharp teeth, it is normal that if you leave it within their reach, break shoes, furniture or any other object that they can catch with their mouth. Tell them when they are doing a behavior that you do not like with a strong and firm tone, the dogs are very good to capture the different tones of voice. Remember that it is not necessary to be abrupt or mistreat them. Finally, not to confuse them with contradictory messages, remember not to consent for a while after reprimanding it. Like all dogs (and we would say that like all living beings), the Basque pastor likes to receive affection. We are sure that you will enjoy miming this beautiful dog. So caress it, give your friendship, show it that you want it and that it is a member of your family nucleus. Veterinarians usually recommend not letting the puppies out of 3 months of age, for this reason it is important to remember here what we said before. If a puppy is separated from its mother and brothers very young and you do not get it from home until 3 months, the puppy will lose a very important period for its socialization which will largely determine its future behavior.   [embed] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=itinffv8m28[/embed] Basque pastor dog education As previously referred to the best stage to educate a Basque pastor dog, it is in the era of puppies. Keep in addition to the professional training techniques that you put into practice, it is necessary to take care of the emotional needs of the dog, for example, it is vital that you feel loved and that it is identified as one more member of the family, or in its terms, of the pack. Likewise, it is important to understand that a dog that is not physically and mentally stimulated will be bored and can seek entertainment breaking things or, in general, lting it at home. With this we do not mean that we have to tire the dog until the exhaustion which is a mistake, in the puppies stage the dogs need rest in the same way to play and experience, in fact, an excessive exercise will be harmful to its growth. As in everything in life, the key will be found by a dog that is being done looking for an intermediate point. The Basque pastor is factory a Very smart dog, therefore you will easily learn things like: where should your needs do, what objects you can take and which are not, and even some tricks. The Euskal Artzain Txakurra have natural characteristics that make them suitable for grazing, after all, the race has been dedicating themselves to it for several years; However, if you want your Basque pastor to help you in your pastor's work, it is very important that you start teaching him from puppy.

Origins and History of the Borzoi The word Borzoi It is a generic term that serves to categorize all visual tracking dogs born in Russia. In Russia there are different variants of Lebre them (group of dog breeds with particular characteristics to move with speed) on which the term has been used "Borzoi”, Like the Chortai, he Tasy and the Taigán, among others. In the West we know this breed as the descendants of the crossing between Saluki dogs and other sheep dogs. Another probable origin of this breed states that it is the result of the crossing between the Arab Lebrus with a roller breast of coarse fur. He Borzoi boom It happened in the last years of the Russian Empire, where they were mainly used for wolves. Historically, they have been very identified and linked to the Russian aristocracy and culture. There is evidence of his presence in Russia dating from the eleventh century. In the years before the Russian revolution, some Borzoi were taken to the rest of Europe and America by breeders who were simply delighted by the aristocratic image of these dogs. There they were awarded the name of Russian Wolfhound. However, in 1936 and following an intense debate between breeders, his name was finally determined as Borzoi, derived from the Russian Borzyi which means "fast." They were very close to becoming extinct as a result of the bad conditions in Russia after the revolution. Fortunately they managed to save themselves, although the number of specimens is reduced compared to other times. Physical characteristics of the Borzoi Also known for the names of Russian greyhound or lebrel, they are usually high dogs, with an elongated body and a decent and aristocratic embellished by harmonious and elegant lines. It is a thin dog, but do not think that its thinness is a sign of weakness. Moreover, we are talking about An extremely strong greyhound. The specimens of this breed reach a height that ranges between 70 and 85 centimeters. They can also weigh between 35 and 50 kilograms. They have a sexual dippormism that can be very evident. Generally, females are shorter in height than males, but their body is usually more elongated. For the rest, both sexes enjoy strong bones, although not thick, and a not very developed musculature compared to other dogs. Its complexion is very fine, natural characteristic of greyhounds. His head is long, sharp, and slender. His eyes have a very interesting sweet-supecha dichotomy, which is accentuated by their oblique shape and almond and dark colors. Their ears are small and are generally fallen back. The back of his body is bony and gently arched, being more noticeable in males than in females. Its tail is long, curved, and fine. The fur of this lebrel is of medium and variable length depending on the area of ​​the body where it is located. The chest and thighs are the sites in which its fur is more abundant. Its color varies, being able to be white, gold, gray or cinnamon, and can occur evenly or combined with each other. As the name implies, They are very fast dogs, but they also have a very acute visual sense. Borzoi character Throughout its history, the Borzoi race has become accustomed to being raised by its owner and by the companions of this. Because of this, it is a very confident and affectionate dog with those who know, but not very receptive to strangers, this is not prepared to receive new people in their lives. It may even have a tendency to bite strangers, so you must take precautions. However, they can get used to the presence of others in due time. The dog will be the one who decides at what time to approach and in which one does not, so you should not force him to be pampered by strangers. As for children, El Borzoi is not an ideal dog for children under no circumstances. His character is not exactly playful, and despite being a very patient greyhound, he will not like to be overwhelmed by the child's child behavior, nor will he allow them to rise on top. His hunter tradition has turned this race into very delicate and stealthy dogs when moving. He will not pounce on you when you get home, that is not his style. The gestures of joy of Borzoi are, if the expression fits, reverential. Recall that it is a dog raised in the nobility. As They are accustomed to hunting, they will feel especially comfortable in open places where they can move easily. Compared to other dogs, we could not say that this in particular is aggressive, although it can sin arrogant, so certain situations can act aggressively. To address this problem, and also its interaction with strangers, We recommend that you adopt a Borzoi puppy and incentives its socialization With others from an early age. Borzoi personal care Exits and walks As we anticipate, this is a greyhound who likes open and natural spaces. He likes to exercise, so we can say that It is a dog that best suits rural areas than urban, where it is more likely to run free. If you are an active person and who enjoy doing outdoor activities very frequently, Borzoi can become your great ally. The Borzoi worship outdoor outputs in such a way that, if they are locked at home by extensive periods of time, they are susceptible to developing aggressive and nervous behaviors, in addition to becoming excessively barking. They do not have a very good tolerance when it comes to excessive heat, so you should avoid taking them out in full summer. The best thing for the Borzoi dog, even if you don't like it, is to be inside your home. Be careful with high temperatures. Cleaning The brushing of the fur of the specimens of this breed has to be regular, every two days. When it is a time of mute, It is necessary for brushing to be daily In order to prevent your dog from letting down the whole house.

In general terms, This is a very healthy breed of dogs, there are no diseases that are associated with exception to hyperthyroidism, which is a hereditary condition, but that does not occur in all cases. However, like all dogs, there are certain ailments that can affect him, so we emphasize the veterinarian's visits again. Some usual ailments are metabolic bone diseases, stomach torsion and hip dysplasia. The last one is normally linked to the enormous intensity of the exercise. Borzoi are a race that can develop a certain sensitivity to chemicals, such as antiparasites, anesthesia, and so on. Nutrition El Borzoi is a big race dog. In addition to having a great appetite, they need to have a balance in the proportion of nutrients they consume, including vitamins and minerals. Remember that they are prone to stomach disters and other stomach problems. Reduced and frequent meals can minimize the risk of suffering from these ailments. If possible, the food rations that Russian greyhound should consume range between 600 and 700 grams. Puppies consume more food than adults given that they are in full growth stage. As they develop, you will notice that the necessary consumption of food will decrease progressively and according to the age and size they are acquiring. Conclusion It is time to review some fundamental points: El Borzoi is a breed of dogs native to Russia that had its peak in the final years of the Russian Empire. Unfortunately, the Russian revolution caused its population to decrease. They are one race closely linked to the Russian aristocracy, therefore, their behavior and care tend to be somewhat specialized if compared to more conventional dogs. It is a very quiet and obedient dog With its owner and acquaintances of this, but it can react aggressively with the strangers, so it is recommended discretion at the time of addressing them. It is not an indicated dog for children and their approach due to their behavior. They are patients, but they are not very playful.

The ideal food ration that they must consume ranges from 600-700 grams per food. Its diet must be balanced in nutrients, vitamins, and minerals. As you have noticed, the Borzoi constitute a race to which you cannot address in the same way that you do it with other best -known dog breeds. Its aristocratic and noble past demands special requirements for its correct and efficient care.

He Wolf Dog from Saarloos It is a breed whose strong and balanced character is complemented with an appearance and behavior that directly links it to the wolf, being considered a shepherd dog. Size: Big. Weight: Between 36 and 41kg. Hair type: Abundant and dense. Character: Proud, reliable, devout, energy, vivacious, independent Health: Unknown Life expectancy: Between 12 and 14 years.

Origin of the Wolf Dog of Saarloos In spite of the similarities that this race maintains with the wolf in terms of primitive appearance and behavior, there is little time that has passed since the existence of the Wolf dog of Saarloos took place. The responsibility of this fact It is attributed to the Dutchman Leender Saarloos, Who was an avid entity of the raising of the German pastor dog, whose practice considered that the excess had been reached, causing a weakening in the body of these dogs. This is how Leender, with the purpose of obtaining improvements in the physical characteristics of the German shepherd, carried out the cross between a male of this race, Gerard van Der Fransenum, with a female of Siberian wolf, which was given the name of Fleuri. In the crosses that were subsequently produced between the offspring of these two races, specimens were obtained whose genetic load was constituted by 25% of wolf's blood, which gave way to the creation of a race called as European wolf dog. Saarloos began to take advantage of the qualities of this breed, using it as a guide for the orientation of blind people, but over time it was determined that the cautious and introverted temperament of the wolf dogs did not have what necessary to be considered as a work dog, much less to serve as a Lazarillo dog. They had to spend 6 years after the death of Leender Saarloos, in 1975, so that the race he had developed obtained the recognition of the recognition of the Kennel Club Dutchman, officially designating it with the name of Lobo de Saarloos dog as a tribute to Leender. Currently this breed is still considered an exotic canine species that is not known outside the Holland in which it is even an unknown species. Physical characteristics of the Wolf Dog from Saarloos Regarding The physical characteristics of the Wolf Dog of Saarloos, this presents a thin context in which the length over the height predominates, with a straight back and a relatively wide chest, this being an indicator feature about the capacity that the Wolf dog of Saarloos as an ideal species for jogging. Its legs have a muscular and long composition. The appearance of his head is formed by the same bone structure as that of the wolf, presenting wedge shape, flattened skull and a light frontal naso depression. Their eyes have an almond appearance, arranged obliquely on the face for a better vision, reflecting a look that makes them appear as if they were in a constant state of alert and caution, to which their yellow eyes help create this perception. Speaking of their ears, these are medium size arranged vertically, with triangular shape and round appearance on the tip. Its tail is low, long, wide and covered with an abundant fur, generally keeping in almost vertical position or with a slight saber -shaped curvature. As for the fur, its growth can vary depending on the time of the year in which it is. During winter the inner layer is predominant, especially in the area around the neck, which combined with the outer layer offers the dog the necessary protection to support the extreme cold. Upon summer the external fur takes prominence but, regardless of the climatic station in which the Wolf dog of Saarloos is located, its body will continue to maintain an abundant fur, covering even the belly, the inside of the thighs and the scrotum. In relation to the color of the fur, this can present a clear hue at the bottom of the body, as well as in the internal area of ​​the limbs and the back of the thighs. Being characteristic to observe specimens of this shaded brown race, shaded black and white variations ranging from pure white to cream color degradations. The height to the cross of the Lobo Saarloos male ranges between 65 and 75 centimeters, much greater than the height to Cruz de la Female, which is between 60 and 70 centimeters, with a weight between 36 and 41 kilograms. Character and behavior Wolf Dog from Saarloos Taking into account that in the creation of the Wolf Dog of Saarloos it was not contemplated to use copies of this breed for the execution of a specific work as a purpose, Its temperament does not correspond to the traditional character present in shepherd dogs. On the contrary, in their behavior they lie very rooted primitive habits that allow it to directly link it with the wolf, which makes this an energetic, independent, active and intelligent race but that can be a challenge if it is intended to train. Due to its Lobuna genetic load, the Wolf dog of Saarloos is prone to introversion. This causes a reserved position with strangers, showing shyness and reaching the point of fleeing when being in this type of situation, even being able to react aggressively if they feel threatened or cornered. However, this does not happen with unknown dogs, with whom they can have a more accessible treatment, as well as with dogs that have been part of their surroundings throughout their different stages of growth. But, despite this, the Wolf Dog from Saarloos It does not represent a good company to be incorporated into the domestic environment if you must share space with other pets or be surrounded by children, since they would run the risk of being attacked due to the strong influence that your instinct hunter exerts on your behavior. In order to achieve this, it is necessary to submit to Wolf Dog from Saarloos to a socialization process from the puppy stage, since its socialization threshold is lower with respect to other dog breeds. Care of the Wolf Dog of Saarloos There are no special standards to apply to carry out the care of the Wolf dog of Saarloos, only some basic indications. To keep your fur, only a regular hairstyle and brushing will be required, being recommended to bathe it only when you really need it, since it is not appropriate to do it very frequently. Due to the level of energy it has, Saarloos requires a lot of exercise to stay active Before which it is not enough just get it to take a short walk every day. In this sense, the physical activity of Saarloos demands long walks that, if possible, include running in areas that are wide enough so that they can explore them to their free will. For this reason, Saarloos is not an appropriate dog for life in an apartment or a small house. Together with this, the Saarloos also demands great attention, a motivated need for the social structure of clan in which he was raised, which generates that he needs to spend a large part of his family time, either surrounded by humans or alternating this presence with that of other dogs. Health Since the Wolf Dog of Saarlos is a relatively unknown breed, there is no detailed documentation about the different pathological manifestations that can affect their health. On the other hand, taking into account the large size of the Wolf Dog from Saarloos And the direct link that this has as a descendant of the German shepherd, is prudent as the owner of this breed taking the relevant measures to avoid the appearance of hip problems caused by dysplasia. In this sense, it is advisable to submit them to saar them to a hip x -ray session when he turned two years old or when the veterinarian indicates it.

Education and training If you are thinking about traditional canine training to apply it in the education of the Wolf Dog from Saarloos, you must know that all your efforts will be in vain, since This breed has an autonomous way of thinking and behaving. This does not mean that they cannot assimilate and learn instructions, but that this will never have an effect under the standards of classical obedience exercised in other canine species, nor in the traditional application of dog sports. For this reason, at the time of training the Wolf Dog of Saarlos, it is advisable to use the training with click. This consists of a mechanical device that generates a type sound "click " (Hence his name), which will serve to control the behavior of Saarloos.

Among the instructions taught in the education of the Wolf Dog of Saarlos, one of those who represents a real challenge is to make that they can remain calm in their travel cages.
