Dachshund

“The dachshund is a short-legged, elongated dog breed of the hound family. The breed’s name is German and literally means “badger dog,” from (der) Dachs, badger, and (der) Hund, dog. While classified as a hound in English speaking countries, some consider the classification to be in error, speculating that it arose from the fact that the German word hund is similar to the English word hound. In fact many dachshunds, especially the wire haired sub type, exhibit behavior and appearance that is far more similar to the terrier group of dogs. The standard size was developed to scent, chase, and flush badgers and other burrow-dwelling animals, while the miniature was to hunt rabbits. Due to the long, narrow build, they are sometimes referred to as a wiener dog. Not withstanding the German origin of the dachshund’s name, within German-speaking countries the breed is known—both formally and informally—as the Dackel or Teckel.

History
———-

Some have theorized that the early roots of the dachshund go back to Ancient Egypt, where engravings were made featuring short-legged hunting dogs. Recent discoveries by the American University in Cairo of mummified dachshund-like dogs from ancient Egyptian burial urns may lend credibility to this theory. But in its modern incarnation, the dachshund is a creation of European breeders, and includes elements of German, French, and English hounds and terriers. Dachshunds have been kept by royal courts all over Europe, including that of Queen Victoria, who was particularly enamored of the breed. They were originally bred for hunting badgers by trailing them.

The first verifiable references to the dachshund, originally named the “Dachs Kriecher” (badger crawler) or “Dachs Krieger” (badger warrior), came from books written in the early 1700s. Prior to that, there exist references to “badger dogs” and “hole dogs”, but these likely refer to purposes rather than to specific breeds. The original German dachshunds were larger than the modern full-size variety, weighing between 30 and 40 lb. (14 to 18 kg), and originally came in straight-legged and crook-legged varieties (the modern dachshund is descended from the latter). Though the breed is famous for its use in exterminating badgers and badger-baiting, dachshunds were also commonly used for rabbit and fox hunting, for locating wounded deer, and in packs were known to hunt game as large as wild boar and as fierce as the wolverine.

Double-dapple dachshunds are prone to eye disease and therefore are rare. It is generally believed that the breed was introduced to the United States between 1879 and 1885

The flap-down ears and famous curved tail of the dachshund have deliberately been bred into the dog. In the case of the ears, this is so that grass seeds, dirt and other matter do not enter into the ear canal. The curved tail is dual-purposed: to be seen more easily in long grass and, in the case of burrowing dachshunds, to help haul the dog out if it becomes stuck in a burrow.[citation needed] The Smooth-haired Dachshund is a cross between the German Shorthaired Pinscher, and the Bracke. The Long-haired Dachshund is a cross between all the small dog breeds in the spaniel group, the German Stoberhund, and the Smooth-haired Dachshund. The Wirehaired Dachshund is a cross between the Smooth-haired Dachshund the Dandie Dinmont Terrier, and the German Wirehaired Pinscher.”

Warm up your pitching arm and be patient—you might just be playing “Throw” for a while before your dog catches on.

To complete this How-To you will need:

A dog
Somewhere big enough to play in
A tennis ball or favorite dog toy to throw
And dog treats
A t-shirt or dishtowel with a knot tied in the middle
A leash
A helper

Step 1: Pick something to throw

Pick something for your dog to fetch. A favorite toy works great, but a tennis ball works well too.

Tip: Don’t use a stick as a throw toy. Besides being dangerous to throw near other people, a stick can hurt your dog’s mouth and may contain parasites.

Step 2: Carry treats

Stash a handful of dog treats in your pocket, so you’ll have them handy.

Tip: A clean t-shirt or dishtowel makes a great throw toy if you tie a knot in the middle. It’s floppy, the knot makes it easy to pick up, and it’s machine-washable.

Step 3: Make sure you have room

If you’re playing with your dog inside, make sure you have enough space to throw a toy or ball without breaking anything. A hallway works great.

Step 4: Avoid dangerous areas

If you’re playing outside, make sure the dog can’t stray into traffic or other dangerous areas. A fenced backyard is best.

Tip: Many public outdoor spaces require dogs to be leashed, so don’t turn your pooch loose in a park without checking the rules.

Step 5: Get your dog’s attention

Shake the toy or tennis ball in front of your dog. Make a big fuss over it and hold it just out of reach.

Step 6: Throw the toy

When you’ve got the dog’s attention, throw the toy or ball a short distance. This will make it easier for the dog to keep her eye on it.

Step 7: Praise the dog

When the dog runs after the toy, pile on the praise. If she picks it up, be even more positive.

Step 8: Bring your dog to the toy

Most likely your dog will chase the toy. But if she dog doesn’t seem to understand about fetching after you’ve thrown the object a few times, clip a leash to her collar and walk her over to it. Praise her for arriving at the right spot.

Tip: If the dog doesn’t pick up the toy, it’s helpful to have a friend actually put it into her mouth. Of course, the instant the dog is carrying the toy, more praise is in order.

Step 9: Call her back

When the dog has the fetch toy in her mouth, call her back to you. Yell “Bring it here! Bring it here!” Praise her as soon as she starts to move toward you.

Step 10: Give her a treat

As soon as the dog arrives with the toy, praise her and give her a treat. When she sees the treat, she should drop the toy automatically. Say “Drop it!” immediately, as soon as you see her starting to drop the toy. That way, she’ll associate the command with what she’s already doing.

Tip: Never try to take the fetch toy away from the dog. You don’t want her to think tug-of-war is part of this game! And if she runs, don’t encourage her by chasing after—run the other way, and offer a treat when she follows you instead.

Step 11: Reduce treat levels

As your dog gets to understand the rules of this game, you can gradually stop giving her treats for performing her part of the routine. Taper them off to once every other time she brings the toy back, then once every third time, and so on.

Step 12: Vary the routine

Once your dog has learned the “Fetch!” basics, feel free to vary the routine. Try tossing a flying disk for a change. Throw the toy for longer distances, or over different terrains—even into the water, if you’re at a beach. Before long, your dog will be bringing you her special toy and begging you to play!

Doberman Pinscher

“The Doberman Pinscher (alternatively spelled Dobermann in many countries) or Doberman is a breed of domestic dog. Doberman Pinschers are among the most common of pet breeds, and the breed is well known as an intelligent, alert, and loyal companion dog. Although once commonly used as guard dogs, watch dogs, or police dogs, this is less common today. In many countries, Doberman Pinschers are one of the most recognizable breeds, in part because of their actual roles in society, and in part because of media attention (see temperament). Careful breeding has improved the disposition of this breed, and the modern Doberman Pinscher is an energetic and lively breed ideally suited for companionship and family life.

History
———-

Doberman Pinschers were first bred in Germany around 1890 by Karl Friedrich Louis Dobermann. After his death in 1894, the Germans named the breed Dobermann-pinscher in his honor, but a half century later dropped the pinscher on the grounds that this German word for terrier was no longer appropriate. The British did the same thing a few years later. Dobermann was a tax collector who frequently traveled through many bandit-infested areas, and needed a protection dog to guard him in any situation that might arise. He set out to breed a new type of dog that, in his opinion, would be the perfect combination of strength, loyalty, intelligence, and ferocity. (He also worked with dogs in his second job as local dog-impounder, giving him access to dogs for breeding.) Later, Otto Goeller and Philip Gruening continued to develop the breed to become the dog that is seen today.

The breed is believed to have been created from several different breeds of dogs that had the characteristics that Dobermann was looking for, including the Pinscher, the Beauceron, the Rottweiler, the Thuringian Shepherd Dog, the black Greyhound, the Great Dane, the Weimaraner, the German Shorthaired Pointer, the Manchester Terrier and the old German Shepherd Dog-now extinct. The exact ratios of mixing, and even the exact breeds that were used, remains uncertain to this day, although many experts believe that the Doberman Pinscher is a combination of at least four of these breeds. The single exception is the documented cross with the Greyhound. It is also widely believed that the old German Shepherd (now extinct)gene pool, was the single largest contributor to the Doberman breed. The book entiled, “The Dobermann Pinscher,” written by Philip Greunig (first printing in 1939), is considered the foremost study of the development of the breed, by the most ardent students of the breed. It describes the early development of the breed by Otto Goeller whose hand allowed the Doberman to become the dog we recognize today.”

Cocker Spaniel

“The American Cocker Spaniel is a breed of dog that originated in the United Kingdom and was brought to Canada and then Spain and the United States in the late 1800s. American Cocker Spaniels were given their own AKC Stud Book in the early 1900s. By 1946, the English Cocker Spaniel was distinct enough in type from the “American” variety, that the American Kennel Club established it as a breed separate from the English Cocker Spaniel. It was given its own Stud Book and that left the “American” type to be known as the Cocker Spaniel in the United States. They are in the sporting breed group of dogs and are the smallest of their group. American Cocker Spaniels were used to flush out birds and prey from the brush so their masters could shoot them.

The English Cocker Spaniel is a breed of gun dog. There are 2 varieties of English Cocker Spaniels, the “field” or “working” cocker and “show” cocker. It is one of several varieties of spaniel and somewhat resembles its American cousin, the American Cocker Spaniel, although it’s closer to the working-dog form of the Field Spaniel and the Springer Spaniel. Outside the US, the breed is usually known simply as the Cocker Spaniel, as is the American Cocker Spaniel within the US. Due to the breed’s happy disposition and continuously wagging tail, it has been given the nickname “merry cocker”.”
