Czechoslovakian Vlcak Dog Information

2013-10-28T12:59:00.003-07:00

Czechoslovakian Vlcak Dog Information

This is a relatively new breed of dog, which can boast neither hundreds of years of tradition nor the names of famous rulers or eminent personalities who bred it or owned it. Nevertheless, it attracts attention wherever it appears. Nobody doubts, not for a moment, that these dogs are of the most distinguished origin. Their mother is Nature. It looks like a wolf. It is tall but light and strong. Its straight, thick hair is wolf-like gray with a typical white mask. It will size you up confidently, with its light eyes, set obliquely. It does not look at its owner; it knows exactly, at every moment, where its master is and what he is doing. It pays attention, rather, to its surroundings—it wants to have a good view. It can run 62 miles (100 kilometers) easily, has a great sense of direction, and reacts with lightning speed. No trail is too difficult for it to follow. No matter whether it is raining or freezing or whether it is day or night. There's nothing it could not manage if it wants to. Every year come the new puppies from two mother countries—Czech Republic and Slovak Republic. The first breedings were recorded in Austria, Slovenia and Hungary; animals were imported to a number of countries. The dogs are shown every year at the leading dog shows and exhibitions.

Both the build and the hair of the Czechoslovak Wolfdog are reminiscent of a wolf. The lowest dewlap height is 26 inches (65 cm) for a male and 24 inches (60 cm) for a female; there is no upper limit. The body frame is rectangular; ratio of the height to length is 9:10 or less. The expression of the head must indicate the sex. Amber eyes set obliquely and short, upright ears of a triangle shape are its characteristic features. The set of teeth is complete (42); very strong; both scissors-shaped and plier-shaped setting of the dentition is acceptable. The spine is straight, strong in movement, with a short loin. The chest is large, rather flat than barrel-shaped. The belly is strong and drawn in. The back is short, slightly sloped; the tail is high set; when freely lowered it reaches the tarsuses. The forelimbs are straight and narrow set, with the paws slightly turned out, with a long radius and metacarpus. The hind limbs are muscular with a long calf and instep. The color of the hair is from yellow-gray to silver-gray, with a light mask. The hair is straight, close and very thick. The Czechoslovak Wolfdog is a typical tenacious canterer; its movement is light and harmonious, its steps are long.

Temprament :

The Czechoslovak Wolfdog is lively, very active, capable of endurance, docile with quick reactions. It is fearless, courageous, suspicious, yet does not attack without cause. It shows tremendous loyalty towards its master. Resistant to weather conditions. Versatile in his use. The Czechoslovakian Wolfdog is very playful. Without proper leadership it can be temperamental. It learns easily. We can admire its all-around qualities rather than its specialization. However, we should not expect it should train spontaneously; the behavior of the CsV is strictly purposeful—it is necessary to find motivation for training. The most frequent cause of failure is usually the fact that the human is not as strong-minded as the dog, lacking leadership and/or the dog is tired out with long, useless repetitions of the same exercise, which results in the loss of motivation. These dogs have admirable senses and are very good at following trails. They are really independent and can cooperate in the pack with a special purposefulness. If required, they can easily shift their activity to the night hours. The independent work of the pack without the necessary control of a man was the reason for their use in the army. Sometimes problems can occur during their training when barking is required. Czechoslovakian Wolfdogs have a much wider range of means of expressing themselves and in some situations barking is unnatural for them; they try to communicate with their masters in other ways. Generally, to teach CsVs stable and reliable performance takes a bit more time than it does to teach traditional specialized breeds. The Czechoslovakian Wolfdog can be a bit dog aggressive if the humans are not displaying the proper authority. It is not generally trustworthy with other pets. It is usually good with children, but suspicious and watchful with strangers.

Height : Males at least 26 inches (65 cm) Females at least 24 inches (60 cm)

Weight : Males at least 54 pounds (26 kg) Females at least 44 pounds (20 kg)

Health Problems : Generally a healthy, hardy breed. Prone to hip dysplasia.

Living Conditions : The CzW will do okay in an apartment if it is sufficiently exercised. It is moderately active indoors and will do best with a large yard. Well-suited for cold climates.

Exercise : This breed needs a lot of daily exercise and adequate space. It needs to be taken on a daily, long, brisk walk where the dog is made to heel beside or behind the human holding the lead, as in a dog's mind the leader leads the way, and that leader needs to be the human.

Life Expectancy : Interbreeding dog and wolf has brought very long life expectancy—wolfdogs live about 12-16 years.

Grooming : This breed sheds heavily twice a year. Bathing is most unnecessary, as the coat sheds dirt readily. Dry shampoo occasionally. This dog is clean and odorless.

Origin : In the year 1955, a biological experiment took place in the USSR of that time, namely, the crossing of a German Shepherd Dog with a Carpathian Wolf. The experiment established that the progeny of the mating of a male dog to a female wolf as well as that of male wolf to female dog, could be reared. The overwhelming majority of the products of these mating possessed the genetic requirements for continuation of breeding. In the year 1965, after the ending of the experiment, a plan for the breeding of this new breed was worked out. This was to combine the usable qualities of the wolf with the favorable qualities of the dog. In the year 1982, the Czechoslovakian Wolfdog, through the general committee of the breeder's associations of the USSR of that time, was recognized as a national breed.

Kai Ken History : The Kai Ken originated with several other variations of his type: the Shika Inu, meaning "medium-sized dog". Shika Inus contain several breeds of Japanese dogs, including the Kai, Kishu, and Shikoku. Other breeds similar to the Kai are the Ainu and Shiba Inu, from which this breed could have descended or been an ancestor. The Kai Ken was originally used as a wild boar or deer hunter's assistant, called a matagi, in the province of Kai, on the island of Honshu in Japan. Matagi greatly appreciated their hunting dogs, and would speak highly of their courage and spirit. It was said that one of these Shika Inus "would not concede a step before danger." They were once used as fisherman's helpers, hunter's aides, and as watch and herding dogs. All of the breeds in this category, however, have been used more often as households pets these days. In the beginning of the Kai's days, they were thought to be too rough for a household pet, being more wild than his cousins. But the Kai has been bred down to have a more comfortable temperament, although they are still the least responsive of all the Shika Inus. Kai Kens are thought to have existed since medieval times in the Yamanashi Prefecture mountains. The breed stayed pure because of isolation over the years. In 1934, the Kai Ken was designated a National Monument, thanks in part to a breeder named Mr. Haruo Isogai. Mr. Isogai is also classified and categorized all of the Japanese breeds in the 1930s, and helped distinguish the Kai Ken from the other Shika Inus. In 1934 the breed was recognized by the Japanese Kennel Club. Some Kai Kens were imported into the U.S. in the 1950s, and spread from there. Still rare today, the Kai Ken is considered a "national treasure" in Japan.

Angora Rabbit Is Cute Animals As Pets At Home

Angora Rabbit Is Cute Animals As Pets At Home

Do you like the Angora cat ? Long soft fur and thick make you fall in love ? If so, then you probably will love the Angora rabbit. Variants of this one also has a long feather, soft and heavy like Angora cat. The feathers grow in all parts of the body of the rabbit. Even in some types, hair grows even meet face and eyes. Angora rabbit, just like its name, derived from the city of Ankara ( formerly known as Angora ), Turkey. In the mid 18th century, Angora rabbits are very popular as pets of the royal family of France. And at the end of the 18th century, the tame rabbits spread to other parts of Europe. In the United States alone, the new Angora rabbits are known at the beginning of the 20th century. They farmed extensively for bulnya taken as industrial raw materials. Currently Angora rabbit has spread to all corners of the world, including Indonesia. Angora rabbit breed is quite varied. The type that is recognized by the ARBA or the American Rabbit Breeders Association is the English Angora Rabbit, French Angora Rabbit, Angora Satin Angora Rabbit Rabbit and Giant.

- Coat and appearance

Angoras are bred mainly for their wool because it is silky and soft. At only 11 microns in diameter it is finer and softer than cashmere. They have a humorous appearance, as they oddly resemble a fur ball with a face. Most are calm and docile, but should be handled carefully. Grooming is necessary to prevent the fiber from matting and felting on the rabbit. A condition, wool block, is common in Angora rabbits, and should be treated quickly. These rabbits are shorn every three to four months throughout the year.

- Diet and wool block

As with all rabbits, abundant and unlimited hay should be provided. The fiber the rabbit gains from the hay helps prevent wool block (also referred to as intestinal impaction). It is also recommended particularly for Angora and other long-haired rabbit species that any pellet diets have at least 13% fiber. Fiber content can be found in the nutritional analysis on the food bag. Additionally fecal impaction can be caused by dehydration, which can be prevented by providing unlimited water as well as a salt lick to encourage drinking water.

- Medical considerations

Rabbits do not possess the same allergy-causing qualities as many other animals. The average rabbit can live for about 7–12 years when kept indoors and well-cared for. However, many outdoor rabbits have a shorter lifespan. Maintenance is a must. The Satin Angora has a much lower guard hair count and their wool becomes easily tangled. Regardless of breed, all Angoras must be monitored to prevent wool block, a potentially lethal condition where their digestive tracts become clogged with hair. Proper diet is also crucial in lowering their susceptibility to the block.

Pomeranian Husky (Pomsky)

2013-10-07T01:21:00.001-07:00

Pomeranian Husky (Pomsky)

Do you know what kind of dog is this one ? Yes , he is Pomerian Husky. The Pomeranian (often known as a Pom or Pom Pom) is a breed of dog of the Spitz type, named for the Pomerania region in Central Europe (today part of northern Poland and eastern Germany). Classed as a toy dog breed because of its small size, the Pomeranian is descended from the larger Spitz type dogs, specifically the German Spitz. It has been determined by the Fédération Cynologique Internationale to be part of the German Spitz breed, and in many countries, they are known as the Zwergspitz (Dwarf Spitz).

The breed has been made popular by a number of royal owners since the 17th century. Queen Victoria owned a particularly small Pomeranian and consequently the smaller variety became universally popular. During Queen Victoria's lifetime alone, the size of the breed decreased by 50%. Overall, the Pomeranian is a sturdy, healthy dog. The most common health issue is Luxating patella. Tracheal collapse can also be an issue. More rarely, the breed can suffer from a skin condition colloquially known as "black skin disease", or alopecia ex. This is a genetic disease which causes the dog's skin to turn black and lose all or most of its hair.[1] The breed is currently among the top 15 most popular in the USA, and the current fashion for small dogs has increased their popularity worldwide.

Pomeranians are small dogs weighing 1.9–3.5 kilograms (4.2–7.7 lb) and standing 5.0–11 inches (13–28 cm) high at the withers. They are compact but sturdy dogs with an abundant textured coat with a highly plumed tail set high and flat. The top coat forms a ruff of hair on the neck and back, and they also have a fringe of feathery hair on the hindquarters.

The earliest examples of the breed were white or occasionally brown or black. Queen Victoria adopted a small red Pomeranian in 1888, which caused that color to become fashionable by the end of the 19th century. In modern times, the Pomeranian comes in the widest variety of colors of any dog breed, including white, black, brown, red, orange, cream, blue, sable, black and tan, brown and tan, spotted, brindle, plus combinations of those colors. The most common colors are orange, black or cream/white.

The merle Pomeranian is a recent color developed by breeders. It is a combination of a solid base color with lighter blue/grey patch which gives a mottled effect. The most common base colors for the effect are red/brown or black, although it can also appear with other colors. Combinations such as brindle merle or liver merle are not accepted in the breed standard. In addition, the eye, nose and paw pad are marshmallow color, changing parts of the eye to blue and the color on the nose and paw pads to become mottled pink and black.

Pomeranians have a thick double coat, and while grooming is not difficult, breeders recommend that it be done daily because of the thickness of the coat and the constant shedding, with trimming every 1–2 months. The outer coat is long, straight, and harsh in texture while the undercoat is soft, thick and short. The coat knots and tangles easily, particularly when the undercoat is being shed, which happens twice a year.
