Dogs for any hunting

After a brief review of the origin and the social role of dogs in human life we consider in more detail the mental and physical ability of dogs, in particular for hunting. Not all approvingly refer to this hobby, but we will not deal with this dispute. We note only that the man and the dog found a full understanding and even love it on the grounds of hunting. If there were no hunting, there would have been this connection that has lasted for many centuries.

There are many different ways to hunt wild animals. There are predatory and feathered, run fast and live in caves, fearful and aggressive, those who are hiding in shelters, and those who escaped. It is believed that the dog since ancient times has the same hunting instincts as a person. Biologically and genetically dog is better than other mammals, manageable. They are not only able to listen and learn, but each new generation of offspring and transmit their knowledge, and new physical possibilities. They can be compared with a piece of clay in the hands of the sculptor, gradually yielding material which imparts any form. The process of mental and physical formation of breeds of dogs has lasted for centuries.

Initially calling the dogs were hunting. They are instinctively able to find prey, raise it from the underbrush and put out to open space where the hunter is easier to shoot her. However, these abilities were not enough, and the dogs began to train and for other purposes. Thus, dogs were removed, making the stand with a prey. Obeying instinct and dog training, this dog becomes immobile as a statue, with a strained muscles to shiver, and one raised arm. This stance is a signal of the hunter, that mining is close in direction, which indicates elongated snout. Among the dogs with this ability can be called nark, Spaniels and Griffon, in England were put pointer and setter.

Man also taught the dogs to bring a wounded prey. This is necessary when a shot with an arrow (as in our days - bullet) the animal runs away and hides somewhere in a secluded spot. It is for this case and were withdrawn retrievers. These dogs can bring the extraction of water, bush or swamp.

Terriers also have the ability to chase prey from the burrow. Many forest and mountain animals (foxes, badgers, marten and ermine) live in burrows, hollow trees and in crevices between the stones. Ambitious and aggressive, short-legged terriers, have very sharp teeth, get into the refuge of these animals, take precedence over them in a terrible fight and kicked out of the hole.

At the time of the French monarchy, when hunting for foxes and deer became secular entertainment, differ luxury and magnificence, were derived such noble breed, like blue Gascon hound puatven and artesian hound. On the hunt out the whole pack of dogs, accompanied by huntsmen, beaters and horsemen.

During the reign of French King Charles the Great was established seventeen forests and about eight parks for breeding and training of the royal dogs. And the King Louis XI was such a passionate hunter and punctual man, for each class singled out his time of year: the war waged in the summer and winter, hunting for bear and deer - in the winter, hawking - in the spring. He is so fond of hunting, which, even when near death, no longer able to move, the last hours of his life, watching the dogs catch the mice in the royal bedroom.

Among the kings, mad lovers hunt, we should also mention I Knud the Great, King of Denmark and England. In 1016, he issued a decree according to which all dogs not belonging to the nobles and found in the royal hunting grounds, ought to smash their limbs.

Effect of stress on dogs

Stress is one of the main causes of many human diseases. But is man? It turns out that animals are suffering from the negative impact of stress on the body no less people. This causes leading to the development of stress in pets, especially dogs similar to the causes of stress in humans.

One of the common causes of stress in dogs is the lack of communication with people like dogs. Many employers mistakenly believe that if the dog stayed outside for quite a long time, her health did not threaten, because she "walked". However, it is not. The dog must "walk" not one, but in good company four-legged friends, but in this case, it will have the opportunity to behave as it is prescribed by nature, and thus avoid the development of stress.

Stress caused by lack of communication can be two basic types. In the first case, a dog, usually adults, just bored with the result that she develops giperdinamiya, it becomes too mobile, begins to run circles and catch its own tail.

In the second case, the stress arises as a consequence of lack of communication in the puppy age. If the puppy is never in my life was not confronted with older dogs, then, upon becoming an adult, but not acquired the necessary skills to communicate with peers, he literally falls into a panic from any contact with the tribe.

In addition to the lack of communication to the development of stress in dogs is wrong behavior hosts connected with the fact that they load your pet is too big responsibility. In this case, is once again reminded that dogs are very similar to humans. And so, just like a man under stress in the event that its load beyond the strength of his work, the dog is experiencing stress, when it was forced to be a leader if the leader is by its nature can not be.

Kuzya any dog pack there is only one leader. The majority of the dogs - it is ordinary members of the pack. Owners also often want to just their pet became the winner of various exhibitions, that is, become a leader. But he can not. It can not, even if the shape of its tail and meets all standards but the psyche, the psyche does not match.

In dogs suffering from unbearable to them responsibility, often develop phobias. U.S. scientists have proved that the most common dog phobia, phobia of storms, strikes, usually purebred dogs, played exhibitions. As purebred dogs, living in a fun, suffer from phobias are many times less.

The result of the effects of stress on the dog's body is the same as on the human body: reduction of immunity, in violation of the internal organs, until the development of malignant tumors.
