A little history

The family of spaniels is extensive and of considerable antiquity. It is mention of spaniels in the fourteenth century. If we moved to the Middle Ages, when the crossbow was still prevalent and the network, and we find the spaniels that showed exceptional qualities in poultry, prevailing conditions of not straying too far from its owner during the raids, developing mutual cooperation in the hunt. The dog got up to his master pulled the arrow or drop the falcon on his arm in order to hunt the bird in flight. Because this is the first spaniels dogs were called the "Middle Ages", a crossbow and a hawk. Were characterized by slow dogs not strayed too far and always kept in touch with the hunter. While other races are reluctant to venture into areas rich in thick or spines, these spaniels, however get hurt, did not stop.

The first news we have of the existence of the Spaniel date back to 1300, described by Gaston Phebus. But until 500 years later the English Spaniels were not different differentiation in 7 races: the Clumber, the Sussex, the Welsh Springer, the English Springer, Field, the Irish Water Spaniel and the Cocker. The Anglo-Saxons say emphatically, sometimes exaggerated, this group of dogs born in the soft green land of England. However, the origin of his name causes confusion: apparently, the term dates back Spanyell, neither more nor less than the year 1100, during which they gave this name to a dog that apparently was imported from Spain to the UK

Only at the beginning of the nineteenth century, the term Cocker Spaniel or Cocker spaniel was applied to England, probably because of its great conditions for woodcock location (which means woodcock, a type of bird that is hunted with frequency) where it seems rise to the name. These spaniels were appreciated in Devon and Wales because of its small size, low vegetation suitable for prevailing in those areas. Only in 1892 the Cocker Spanel was recognized by the Kennel Club of England, appearing in the Stud Book under that name. Until 1901, the weight limit of these was of 11.34 kg but now allows 11 to 13 kg. Previously, a litter of cocker cocker could be classified as or springer. However, the Cocker Spaniel has increased its stature, seeking greater strength and weight to be able to collect large ducks or hares. Always looking to fill labor needs, as the English Cocker had become an all-purpose dog. But still remains the major physiological epagneul dwarf, big-eared and falls and which preserves the cephalic and psychological ways.

health

The Cocker is a dog used to be hard but many eye problems (progressive retinal atrophy, cataracts and glaucoma) and often become blind when it goes from 10 years. Ears are another big problem. To keep them long and falls, are dragging along the ground and this is leading to ear infections.

On the other hand, monitor their eating plan, it has a tendency to gain weight. Furthermore, it seems never satisfied and always ask for more food.

Care Hairdressing

The Cocker is one of the most expensive dog to the hairdresser, it is a mixture of hard hair, long hair, and their owners do not appreciate the work and cost that this entails, this breed needs a very laborious care at first sight unseen:

    1.Have hard hair on the back: you have to do stripping (boot dead hair with fingers or tools to stripping) and then pass the machine.

    2. He has long hair fringe: you have without wool (to remove dead hair), detangle, moisturize and cut with scissors.

    3. It has very thick hair, it takes much to dry.

mantle

His coat is smooth and silky texture, never curled, wavy or curly. Some units do not have a coat too populated, and the robe that was on top is really heavy other. Motifs are abundant in the front legs, trunk and hindquarters.

care

This is a breed that frequents the salons and whose mantle must be cut at intervals between 6 and 8 weeks. Although it is best to start cocker hand, as is done with copies of exposure, this practice is rarely done with cockers company and its owners often prefer to be left short by shaving the mantle. You can use thinning shears to reduce and flatten the coat. These are also used scissors to remove the crest of the head when it is not possible to apply the shearing machine. As for the Cocker show, read the breed standard for and listen to advice from an owner with experience in the most correct way to proceed before using a pair of scissors with the animal. If it is a cocker company, refer to the owner on the most favorable and that meets the various requirements (time to be spent on daily combing and brushing the dog's way of life or prices).

procedure

Materials: The choice of material depends on whether the cocker we serve is a pet carrier or a copy of exposure. This material should include a card or a metal bristle brush, a wide-tooth comb, two pairs of scissors (about currents and others for the starter), a shaver and a knife to the starter.

Tip: To make these dogs look their best look is recommended cutting the mantle leaving within eight weeks at most from cut to cut.

There are owners who are completely shave your pet cocker.

As copies of exposure is recommended to start by hand (stripping) as well as the layer will be maintained in good condition. Rotate the skin between the thumb and forefinger pulling each pull those hairs in as little long desired.

Review all the cloak with a card or a metal bristle brush.

To unravel the cloak, passing a medium-toothed comb and use a cortanudos if necessary. Unfortunately it is not always possible to remove the matted hair using only the comb. And if you do not want to spoil the hair will have to untangle the knots. Therefore, you should meet regularly to the mantle at a given time, we do not have to face that problem.

When Cocker company was usually shave with a blade under the Oster 10. We work behind the elbows, navel, the inner side of the hips and the area under the tail.

Never shave this way a cocker exposure.

The line of the skirt should not be as straight as the Cocker Spaniel. The bottom line is more like a moon would be inverted from the breastbone to the lowest point of the pelvis. In the event that a show dog has a heavy mantle, we can reduce the line below the ribs.

Comb the hair so that the skin off and remove the hair below the fringe until fall naturally from the ribs and do not appear to swell when the dog is moving.

The outer layer should be started, reduced and shave. Remember that, unless absolutely necessary, shaving is not desirable since it will make thicker mantle, thereby acquiring a spongy texture and is also full of curls.

However, many owners go to the hairdresser every six weeks to shave his cocker company and maintain the mantle under control. A copies of exhibition and also removed can have this type of cut.

The head can be gleaned, tearing or shaving, according to the wishes or needs of the owner. From the eye reaches the top then moving the neck and incorporating also the top of the ears in order to accentuate the elegance characteristic of the head. To give you a stylish finish, we will remove the excess hair, ie, that longer and shaggy coat.

Cocker exposure to it should do this by hand (stripping), thus the mantle is thicker and less smooth. Also very common is the coat thinning below the ears and near the neck. This will help air out the ears.

With the shaver advance through the cheeks and nose, down the neck to the sternum. With copies of exposure are frequently used thinning shears.
Remove those long hairs on the front and sides of the front legs.

Many homeowners choose to go to reduce the volume of fur to the claw. If we take off the legs should not see any plume protruding from his backside. It should fall back from the elbow and naturally.

Eliminate excess fur. The plumes at the base of the leg should not touch the ground, so trim them if necessary For the hind legs, the locks are molded around the knees of copies of exposure. Is recommended to start the area before cutting with scissors, an easier way to give the area a natural look.

These locks should come right up to the hock. Now, we must reduce the coat gradually, without the feeling that the dog wears baggy pants. Shaping the fur between the knuckle and claw not to rush too

The tail should be well furred and go at the base tapering to the tip. Brush thoroughly and start any unwanted hair. The plumes of the tail must be as thick as the legs, pretending to be a balance throughout the mantle.

Bathing the cocker with a suitable shampoo and apply conditioner to enhance the appearance of the mantle and stimulate growth parallel to the skin. Apply hot air to the mantle at the same time it passes over a metal wire brush in the direction of hair growth. Cut the coat clean between the knuckle and claw. Trim the claw, giving it a rounded appearance and eliminating the hair between the pads and matted in the bottom.

This coat should be started over and neglected, but without overdoing it, since it can create an undesired effect in an exhibition. Make the fur claws look a stylish finish, regular and adhered to the skin. The copies of company's fur between the toes usually extremely dirty and matted, which can cause skin problems. It is therefore advisable to remove all the hair that has not been spotless after bathing. Passing a comb through the plumes.

When finished, the garment should look like a clean look.

Start, thinning, without wool or shaving: all these practices should be carried out in the direction of hair growth, whether it be a show dog or a copy of the company. For best results and provide a beautiful, healthy extra sparkle to the mantle, can be reviewed with a soft cloth.

All dogs are doing hairdressing annexes, which are:

Ear canal: Remove hairs. Clean with liquid.
LACRIMAL: Clean.
PLANTAR: Cut the hair between the pads.
NAILS: Short nails with nail clippers. Hemostatic powder: to stop bleeding.

A little history

The Chinese Crested dog is said to have originated in China and was brought to America on ships of this country for many centuries.

However, there have been hairless dogs in many countries, including Africa and Turkey, and some think that the Chinese Crested may be the result of mating between Mexican Hairless Dog (Xoloitzcuintli) with a Chihuahua. Certainly the pairing of the Chihuahua Chinese Crested can produce a hairless dog. Until 1966, an elderly woman in the U.S. had the only remaining copies of chinese crested dog in the world.

Bichon Havanese

2011-08-14T03:38:00.001-07:00

A little history

The beginning of Spanish colonization in Cuba, from the fifteenth century, the island has two types of settlers, farmers, mainly from the island of Tenerife, and the latter so named for the second sons of aristocratic families who left in search new businesses to increase their fortunes. Tenerife remains one of the only ports open to Cuba for trade, due to restrictions imposed by Spain in their colonies.

The logbooks of ships that arrived in Cuba in the early sixteenth century reveal that these early settlers brought their dogs, logic leads us to believe the dogs were popular in Europe: the Maltese, the Barbet or variety Spanish, the dog of Tenerife (common ancestors of the Bichon family), which were quickly accepted by the wealthiest families in the country. The poodle was considered a sign of refinement, and quickly invade the family of the colony.

As a natural result, the dog, like many other things taken by the Cuban also acquires a particular label, becoming, in response to weather conditions, food and a different dog inbreeding determining their European cousins. This new dog was named Blanquito Havana, because of their color entirely white. It is difficult to be absolutely certain how it could be Blanquito of Havana, from the viewpoint of its external morphology, but testimonies of the time describe him as the dog "....... Habanero (Canis vellerosus) that exists in Havana is smaller than the previous (referring to the Maltese) and is covered with a fleece type of long, curly, white, satin or silk. Individuals who have been brought from Europe could not resist for long the climate change. "

Already in the nineteenth century were the bases of a trading system that led to contact with different cultures. New races come to Cuba, including the Poodle or Poodle, accompanying the new wave of French immigrants. This is where the story really begins in the Havanese. With the entry of various foreign breeds a new stage in the design of the poodle in Cuba. By crossing the Poodle, the white boy from Havana takes color and size increases, but does not lose its wonderful character. These crosses were performed under certain principles of control, which allowed the speedy establishment of a uniform kind enough to be considered as a new race. Thus arises the Havanese, carrying the best features of their parents, keeps the character alive, happy and intelligent Whitey and acquires strength and size by Poodle.

The Habanero was the dog of the colonial aristocracy until the early twentieth century, when U.S. intervention imposes its fashion, being replaced by the Chihuahua, Pomeranian or Pekingese, and became the favorite toy of the Cuban family, almost unconsciously, helped to keep alive the race. It begins during the twentieth century a wide taste for dog breeding in Cuba, made the first dog shows on the island, where the prevailing majority of imported breeds, only a few breeders dedicated to the Havanese. With the triumph of the revolution in 1959, the breeding of dogs suffer a blow as it becomes a sign of bourgeois mentality, not in accordance with the popular principles of the new changes. Economic reconstruction makes people forget their dogs, but the race goes from U.S. to Europe, starting from a reduced number of emigrants, mainly Sweden, Finland, Holland and Germany. Meanwhile in Cuba in the early eighties began to appreciate the rebirth of love and founded the first club race. Still, the Havanese was submerged into oblivion, so far of the general public recognition, even though the FCI (FCI) had approved a standard for the breed since 1963.

In 1987, the FCI was created in Cuba, entering new associate member of the FCI, it is precisely in that year when he removed the assets of the Havanese in Cuba, it now appears in the technical literature as originating in the Western Mediterranean. This is when awareness and breed lovers meet after a careful search, found almost all Havanese who remained in the country and begin to work with them in the rescue of the breed. In 1991 he founded the Cuban Havanese Club performing work of selection and improvement of the race, having already several champions Cuba, the first winner of the Puppy Expocanina 1993.

Today, the Cuban Club works the true essence of the type of Havanese, somewhat distorted in the European continent by the free interpretation of the FCI standard, little descriptive and therefore prone to deviations from the original type. In 1999, Cuba becomes a full member of the FCI and still waits to be returned that the heritage of the race, a race that is a faithful representative of his idiosyncrasies and belongs to the country's cultural heritage, unmistakable symbol of their identity.
