[Coyhaique, Chile] [A todos nos gustaría tener un encantador de perros a la mano. Uno de los míos acaba de hacer un hoyo en el jardín, pese a la prohibición]. Lo leímos en Diario de Aysén:

Entrenador de Perros Busca Convertirlos en “Buenos Ciudadanos Caninos” en sólo cuatro semanas. Se trata de un programa de trabajo que apunta a modificar la conducta de estas mascotas –independiente de cual sea su raza- y convertirlo en un dócil y fiel compañero de casa.Modificar la conducta canina mediante técnicas especializadas de entrenamiento es la actividad que realizó en Coyhaique el adiestrador profesional canino, Gerardo Donoso del sitio www.educaperro.cl, quien desarrolló un trabajo con alrededor de 10 mascotas de diversas razas.
“Llevamos un mes de trabajo y es una capacitación que se está desarrollando en la zona, detectamos la necesidad de hacer educación en el tema canino en la región, ya que no hay especialistas en la zona y existía la inquietud de llevar esto a regiones”, expresó el experto.
El trabajo está enfocado en la educación y a generar un cambio de conducta y formar lo que se denomina “los buenos ciudadanos caninos” que conviven de manera apropiada al interior de la casa y que cumplen con ciertas reglas y normas, que poseen hábitos y que no constituyen una molestia dentro de la sociedad.
“Son perros que tienen un nivel de control suficiente para trabajar en la vía pública sin ningún problema y también poseen un nivel de educación y convivencia aceptable en casa”, expresó Gerardo Donoso.
Los primeros cursos comenzaron con alrededor de 10 personas, mientras que próximamente se espera impartir un tercer curso por dos meses de trabajo, en el que los propietarios de estas mascotas reciben capacitación teórica sobre la ciencia del manejo de un perro y capacitación práctica, esta última se desarrolla en una primera parte en ambientes sin distracción hasta llegar a espacios abiertos de alto movimiento como una plaza.

Una Cuestión de Vida y Edad
Razas como dogo argentino, akita inú, rottweiler, pastor alemán, golden retrievers y fox terrier, fueron los ejemplares que formaron parte de este curso, donde las dificultades que pueda haber al momento del entrenamiento pasa por la forma de vida que ha llevado el perro en la casa y la edad.
El proceso de capacitación de estas mascotas puede ser aplicado a partir de los dos meses en adelante, ya que esta instrucción se adapta a cada perro, dependiendo de sus condiciones, capacidades y manejo que tiene el guía.
“Son dos factores que van a influir en el resultado de esta capacitación pero que con un poco más de esfuerzo puede conseguir los mismos resultados que el resto. Puede que algún perro se demore algunas semanas más en conseguir algún objetivo, pero en general, los principios están diseñados para que cualquier perro los logre”, expresó el representante de www.educaperro.cl

“Todos los Perros Son Potencialmente Peligrosos”
Ante la discusión por la tenencia de razas “potencialmente peligrosas”, expresó que ha sido planteado el tema a los parlamentarios a fin de establecer si esto alude a perros que puedan provocar lesiones o que pueda ocasionar accidentes.
“Hoy en Chile todos los perros son potencialmente peligrosos y todos por naturaleza pueden morder, que no muerdan o que no hayan mordido, no significa que no lo vayan a hacer. Por tanto, si hay un nivel de peligrosidad en una mordida, va a depender de dónde, cómo y a quién muerdan, para que esa lesión afecte seria o menormente a una persona”, enfatizó el entrenador de perros.
En Coyhaique ha habido casos de personas que han sido atacadas por perros, por lo que a través de esta propuesta se busca inculcar entre las persona el tema de la educación canina, iniciativa que se pretende extender al resto de la ciudadanía y las empresas, expresó Marco Saldivia, encargado de este trabajo en la capital regional.
El año 2002 fue una fecha en que la raza rottweiler estuvo en la noticia, debido a las denuncias por mordeduras. Un estudio reveló que sólo se registraron 14 casos de mordidas al año ocasionadas por estos perros. Sólo en Santiago existen 25 mil mordidas al año, mientras que los ataques perpetrados por esta raza alcanzó a menos de un uno por ciento.

“El Rottweiler Es un Perro Especial”
“Hoy la gente piensa que el rottweiler es un perro asesino, cosa que no es así. Es un perro especial que necesita de un manejo especial pero que no tiene mayores problemas si se maneja de forma adecuada (…). En España por ejemplo hubo dos casos de niños que fueron mordidos y muertos por un cocker, y el cocker no aparece como perro potencialmente peligroso”, añadió Donoso, en su defensa hacia estos animales.
Una tercera visita a la región se efectuará entre la segunda o tercera semana del mes de diciembre. Los interesados en que sus mascotas adquieran una nueva conducta social, podrán tomar contacto a través del sitio www.educaperro.cl o con el encargado del tema en la zona –Marco Saldivia- a través del correo marco@educaperro.cl

[Rosario, Argentina] [Se exigirá correa corta para razas peligrosas y bozal para perros con antecedentes agresivos]. Lo leímos en Página 12:

Perros con Microchip. Lo aprobó el concejo. Desde la semana próxima, en Rosario, todos los perros deberán tener colocado un microchip subcutáneo, para las razas peligrosas será obligatorio el uso de correa corta, mientras que el bozal será exigido a aquellos canes que tuvieran antecedentes de ataques. Quienes saquen a pasear a sus mascotas y no recojan sus deposiciones serán sancionados con una multa que irá de los 150 a los 450 pesos. Son los aspectos más relevantes de la nueva regulación para la tenencia responsable de perros que aprobó ayer por amplia mayoría el Concejo Municipal.
Será obligatorio el uso de correa corta en las siguientes razas de animales: Pit Bull Terrier, Staffordshire Bull Terrier, American Staffordshire Terrier, Rottweiler, Dogo Argentino, Fila Brasileño; Rosa Inu, Akita Inu, y sus mestizos. El uso del bozal sólo tendrá carácter de recomendación. Su uso será obligatorio en los casos que existieren antecedentes de ataques a otros animales o personas.
En el ámbito del IMUSA se creará el Registro Unico de Mascotas en el cual deberán estar inscriptos los canes. La identificación se hará mediante la utilización del sistema electrónico de microchip a colocarse en forma subcutánea, sin anestesia ni ninguna otra preparación, de modo de posibilitarse su posterior lectura externa mediante lectora, cargándose los datos del can como del propietario. El costo del chip es de 3 euros. El IMUSA tendrá a su cargo y sin costo, la registración de los canes en los casos que hubieren sufrido accidentes en la vía pública y se les preste atención en sus dependencias, a los que se ofrezcan en adopción y los comunitarios.
“Los propietarios de todos los perros tendrán seis meses de plazo voluntario para colocar el chip, después entrarán a regir las sanciones de acuerdo a la reglamentación que se haga”, explicó a Rosario/12 uno de los impulsores de la ordenanza, el concejal socialista Aldo Gómez.
Los dueños de los canes deberán firmar una declaración jurada en la que deberán dejar constancia: a) si se ha realizado adiestramiento, indicando la tipología sea de defensa, ataque, guardia, caza, salvataje o cualesquiera otra; b) constancias expedidas por médicos veterinarios que en su caso informen sobre la conducta, c) antecedentes de ataques a otros animales, familiares o terceros.
El Imusa entregará al propietario una tarjeta identificatoria con sus datos, los de su can y código del microchip la que deberá portar siempre que el animal esté en la vía pública. Las infracciones leves serán sancionadas con multas que van desde $150 a $450; las graves desde $ 451 hasta $800 y las gravísimas desde $ 801 a $1500.

Dog breeds are groups of closely related and visibly similar domestic dogs, which are all of the subspecies Canis lupus familiaris, having characteristic traits that are selected and maintained by humans, bred from a known foundation stock.

The term dog breed may also be used to refer to natural breeds or landraces, which arose through time in response to a particular environment which included humans, with little or no selective breeding by humans. Such breeds are undocumented, and are identified by their appearance and often by a style of working. Ancient dog breeds are some of the modern (documented) descendants of such natural breeds.

Dog breeds are not scientifically defined biological classifications, but rather are groupings defined by clubs of hobbyists called breed clubs.

A dog breed is represented by a sufficient number of individuals to stably transfer its specific characteristics over generations. Dogs of same breed have similar characteristics of appearance and behavior, primarily because they come from a select set of ancestors who had the same characteristics. Dogs of a specific breed breed true, producing young closely similar to the parents. An individual dog is identified as a member of a breed through proof of ancestry, using genetic analysis or written records of ancestry. Without such proof , identification of a specific breed is not reliable. Such records, called stud books, may be maintained by individuals, clubs, or other organizations.

Classification

In biology, subspecies, race and breed are equivalent terms. Breed is usually applied to domestic animals; species and subspecies, to wild animals and to plants; and race, to humans. Colloquial use of the term Dog breed, however, does not conform to scientific standards of taxonomic classification. Breeds do not meet the criteria for subspecies since they are all considered a subspecies of the gray wolf, an interbreeding group of individuals who pass on characteristic traits and would likely merge back into a single homogeneous group if external barriers were removed. The recognition of distinct dog breeds is not maintained by a scientific organization; they are maintained by a number of independent kennel clubs that need not apply to scientific standards and are often inconsistent. For instance, the Belgian Shepherd Dog is separated into four distinct breeds by some clubs, but not in others. Further, some groups of dogs which clearly share a persistent set of characteristics and documented descent from a known foundation stock may still not be recognized by some clubs as breeds. For instance, the feist is a hunting dog raised in the Southern United States for hunting small game. Feists have a consistent set of characteristics that reliably differentiate them from other dog type and breeds. However, the United Kennel Club recognizes one breed of feist, the Treeing Feist, but the American Kennel Club, does not recognize any feist breed.

A dog is said to be purebred if its parents were purebred and it meets the standards of the breed. Purebred dog breeders of today “have inherited a breeding paradigm that is, at the very least, a bit anachronistic in light of modern genetic knowledge, and that first arose out of a pretty blatant misinterpretation of Darwin and an enthusiasm for social theories that have long been discredited as scientifically insupportable and morally questionable.” Morally questionable policies regarding purity of breed include obligatory surgical procedures to spay or neuter animals in numerous contexts. The American Kennel Club, for instance, allows mixed-breed dogs to be shown but requires these animals to be altered. It does not make such requirements for purebred dogs. California Assembly Act AB 1634 was a bill introduced in 2007 that would require all non-working dogs of mixed breed over the age of 6 months to be neutered or spayed. The bill was morally controversial, leading the American Kennel Club to fight the bill.

The clear genetic distinction between breeds of dog has made dogs of specific breeds good subjects for genetic and human medical research. “Using the dog as a discovery tool” in studying how cancer affects specific breeds may lead to identifying “susceptibility genes that have proved intractable in human families and populations.”

History of Dog Breeds

Pariah dogs originally established themselves near human populations^[10], developing and maintaining themselves without further selection. They do not carry any specialized working dog functions. Working, hunting and other functional breeds most likely appeared when there was a demand for certain traits and humans were able to devote time and resources to perfect those traits.

Initial dog selections centered on helpful behavior such as barking at unfamiliar creatures and people, guarding livestock, or hunting game. Some dog breeds, such as Saluki or New Guinea Singing Dogs , have been bred for thousands of years. Some working dog breeds such as German Shepherd or Labrador Retriever were established in the last few hundred years. More recently, dogs have been selected for attractiveness and distinctive features, resulting in a vast variety of different breeds. Similar dog breeds are classified by dog registries in Dog Breed Groups.

Groups of individuals that have dogs of the same breed often unite into national breed clubs, describing their dogs in specific language by writing a breed standard. Breed standards prescribe the most desirable specimen attributes and working abilities for purebred dogs of that breed as well as undesirable traits. National breed clubs promote their breeds via the local breed registry and international organizations. Dogs recognized by the main breed registries are said to be “purebred”.

Development of dog breeds

For the history and development of the dog, see Origin of the domestic dog, Ancient dog breeds, and Dog type.

There is much speculation but little evidence about why canids came to live with or near humans, possibly as long as 100,000 years ago. With the beginnings of agriculture around 12,000 years ago, humans began making use of dogs in various ways, resulting in physical differences between dogs and their wolf ancestors. In earlier times, little was written about dogs, although there were known dog types or landrace dogs, which developed over time with minimal human intervention, to fit in with the environment (including human culture) in which the dogs lived or live. Dog breeds in the modern sense date only to the accurate documenting of pedigrees with the establishment of the English Kennel Club in 1873, in imitation of other stud book registries for cattle and horses.

Many dog breeds today have names of original landrace types, such as the Border Collie. Other landrace types, such as retrievers, have been made more uniform in appearance through selective breeding, and developed into a variety of distinctive breeds. Varieties of purebred dogs kept for working purposes can vary in appearance from purebred dogs of the same breed kept as showdogs and pets.

New dog breeds are being continually created. They are either accidentally or purposely crossbred from existing breeds, developed for a specific style of work, or created just for marketing purposes. Recently discovered semi-feral and landrace types such as the New Guinea Singing Dog have been documented and registered as breeds for purposes of preservation. The Canadian department of agriculture has strict standards for the documenting of what it calls “emerging breeds”. Many registries which require minimal documentation are available for registering new and existing breeds of dog. In general, a dog can only be guaranteed to be of a specific breed if it is documented in the stud book of a major dog registry or breed registry.

Genetics

Dog breeds can now be analyzed through genetics. Genetic markers (microsatellite markers and single-nucleotide polymorphisms) have been analyzed and a representative sample of 85 breeds were placed into four clusters, each cluster having shared ancestors. Cluster 1 is thought to be the oldest, including African and Asian dogs. Cluster 2 is mastiff type dogs; cluster 3 is herding dogs, and cluster 4 modern hunting type dogs (mostly developed in Europe in the 1800s.)

• Note: Relationships uncovered through genetics may not match “official” breed histories. The following breed lists are based on genetic research, not traditional beliefs about dog breeds.

• Cluster 1 (Thought to be older lineages): Afghan Hound, Akita Inu, Alaskan Malamute, Basenji, Chow Chow, Irish Wolfhound, Lhasa Apso, Pekingese, Saluki, Samoyed, Shar Pei, Shiba Inu, Shih Tzu, Siberian Husky, Tibetan Terrier.

• Cluster 2 (Mastiff-type): Bernese Mountain Dog, Boxer, Bulldog, Bullmastiff, French Bulldog, German Shepherd Dog, Greater Swiss Mountain Dog, Labrador Retriever, Mastiff, Miniature Bull Terrier, Newfoundland, Pomeranian, Presa Canario, Rottweiler.

• Cluster 3 (Herding): Belgian Sheepdog, Belgian Tervuren, Borzoi, Collie, Greyhound, Pug, St. Bernard, Shetland Sheepdog.

• Cluster 4 (Modern/hunting dogs): Airedale Terrier, American Cocker Spaniel, American Hairless Terrier, American Water Spaniel, Australian Shepherd, Australian Terrier, Basset Hound, Beagle, Bedlington Terrier, Bichon Frise, Bloodhound, Border Collie, Cairn Terrier, Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, Chesapeake Bay Retriever, Chihuahua, Clumber Spaniel, Dachshund, Doberman Pinscher, English Cocker Spaniel, Flat Coated Retriever, German Shorthaired Pointer, Giant Schnauzer, Golden Retriever, Great Dane, Ibizan Hound, Irish Setter, Irish Terrier, Italian Greyhound, Keeshond, Kerry Blue Terrier, Komondor, Kuvasz, Manchester Terrier, Miniature Schnauzer, Norwegian Elkhound, Old English Sheepdog, Pharaoh Hound, Pointer, Portuguese Water Dog, Rhodesian Ridgeback, Schipperke, Soft Coated Wheaten Terrier, Standard Poodle, Standard Schnauzer, Welsh Springer Spaniel, West Highland White Terrier, Whippet.

Dog Breed documentation

Stud Books

Dog breeds are documented in lists of antecedents called a stud book.

Dog breeds that have been documented may be accepted into one or more of the major registries (kennel clubs) of dog breeds, including the Fédération Cynologique Internationale (covering 84 countries), The Kennel Club (UK), the Canadian Kennel Club, the American Kennel Club, the Australian National Kennel Council and the New Zealand Kennel Club, and other national registries. The registry places the breed into the appropriate category, called a Group. Some Groups may be further subdivided by some registries. When the breed is fully accepted, the stud book is closed and only dogs bred from dogs in the stud book will be accepted for registration. These dogs are referred to as purebred.

Dog breed clubs, especially of dogs bred for a particular kind of work, may maintain an open stud book and so may not be included in major registries. The dogs are still considered a breed. An example of this would be the Jack Russell Terrier Club of America.

Some dog breeds fit the definition of breed, especially breeds that develop naturally on islands or in isolated areas, but are few in number or have not been sufficiently documented to be registered with one of the major registries. An example of this would be the Kintamani Dog and other rare or independent breeds.

Breeds of dogs can be deliberately created in a relatively short period of time. When they breed true and have been sufficiently documented, they can be accepted by major registries. An example of this is the Cesky Terrier.

Breed Standards

Each dog breed has a written Breed Standard, a list of attributes that standardises the appearance of the breed, written by the breed’s founder or breed club. Dog are judged in Conformation Dog Shows on the basis of how closely the individual dog conforms to the breed standard. As the breed standard only covers external aspects of the dog’s appearance, breeding working dogs for show competition may cause appearance to be emphasised to the detriment of working ability.

Groups of dogs mistaken for breeds

Groups of dogs that may be mistaken for breeds include working dogs that are categorized by working style rather than appearance, although they may be of various ancestry and may not breed true. The difference between a named group of working dogs and a breed of dogs can be unclear. Examples would be the huntaway and other livestock dogs of New Zealand, the feist dogs of the southern United States, and the Patagonian sheepdogs of Argentina, which are collies mixed with other working dogs.

Landrace dogs are another grouping that often have been named but are not considered breeds. “Landrace” is a term used for early types domesticated animals, including dogs, where isolated populations of dogs are selected according to human goals; developing over time rather than through modern breeding techniques. An example of a landrace dog would be the dog described as ‘Basset’ as early as 1585. The landrace Basset was developed into the modern breeds of Dachshund and Basset Hound, as well as modern day terrier breeds.

Another group of dogs that may be mistaken for breeds are first-generation crossbreds, bred for hybrid vigor (heterosis) from two purebred dogs. An example of this would be the Labradoodle.

Mixed breed dogs may be offered a form of registration to allow them to participate in organized dog events. Often given the name All-American or AMBOR dog, the name does not signify that dogs so registered are a breed. Dogs must be spayed or neutered to be registered.

Individual dogs or small groups of dogs may use an existing breed name or be given an invented breed name and listed with little or no documentation for a fee with “registry” companies with minimal verification requirements. The dogs are then bred and marketed as a “registered” breed, sometimes as a “rare” or new breed of dogs.

And it’s based upon a true story.

Si piqueu a la foto es fa més gran!,... Les imatges tenen diferents origens i no identifiquen als individus com a perillosos, únicament les fem servir per il·lustrar les races de gossos potencialment perillosos.

Les races de gossos (i els seus encreuaments) que apareixen a les fotografies són les que segons l’article 45 de l’Ordenança del Civisme i la Convivència Ciutadana a l’Hospitalet de Llobregat es consideren com a potencialment perilloses (GPP).

També entraria qualsevol altre gos que es pugui determinar legalment (amb l’informe previ d’un/una veterinari/ria habilitat/ada per a aquesta tasca), els gossos que han estat ensinistrats per a l’atac i la defensa, o els gossos que manifestin un caràcter marcadament agressiu, hagin agredit persones o altres animals o les seves característiques es corresponguin amb totes o la majoria de les esmentades a l’annex II del Reial decret 287/2002, de 22 de març. (veure també modificació del 2007).

Aquest Reial decret diu que també entren a la llista dels GPP els que tenen moltes o la majoria de les següents característiques:
a) Fuerte musculatura, aspecto poderoso, robusto, configuración atlética, agilidad, vigor y resistencia.
b) Marcado carácter y gran valor.
c) Pelo corto.
d) Perímetro torácico comprendido entre 60 y 80 cms., altura a la cruz entre 50 y 70 cms. y peso superior a 20 kg.
e) Cabeza voluminosa, cuboide, robusta, con cráneo ancho y grande y mejillas musculosas y abombadas. Mandíbulas grandes y fuertes, boca robusta, ancha y profunda.
f) Cuello ancho, musculoso y corto.
g) Pecho macizo, ancho, grande, profundo, costillas arqueadas y lomo musculado y corto.
h) Extremidades anteriores paralelas, rectas y robustas y extremidades posteriores muy musculosas, con patas relativamente largas formando un ángulo moderado.

El problema de la poca definició d’algunes d’aquestes característiques és que no queda clarmolts si entren o no gossos, com el pastor alemany, el bull terrier anglès, el alano espanyol, siberian husky… llavors es important que aneu a l’Ajuntament a demanar una resposta para evitar problemes amb la policia o els veïns

Els GPP, a les vies públiques, a les parts comunes dels immobles col·lectius, en els transports públics i en els llocs i espais d’ús públic en general han d’anar lligats amb cadena o corretja, no extensible de menys de dos metres; han d’anar proveïts del corresponent morrió homologat i adequat per a la seva raça, sense que en cap cas puguin ser conduïts per menors de 16 anys, ni es pugui portar més d’un gos potencialment perillós per persona. El no complient d’aquestes condicions suposa una infracció greu amb una sanció que pot anar de 600 a 1500 euros.

La llicència per a la tinença de gossos potencialment perillosos tindrà una vigència de cinc anys, comptats a partir de la data de notificació de la corresponent resolució administrativa, i podrà ser renovada per períodes iguals successius.

The Keeshond.
One day (SOONER than LATER I hope) I might buy a Keeshond puppy – the dog looks big & rather fierce but in reality it is a very sweet companion that doesn’t really shed that much and barks less than other spitzes! And Keeshonden’s personality isn’t as headstrong and complicated as of Akita Inus and they don’t need 50km a day of run like Malamutes…and yet they belong to Nordic spitz breedes and they can protect my butt. Lovely. ^^

Now off to the annual report, today or never!!! >_< Srsly. But before that I will make you die of cuteness:

Awwww, right? ^^

Hachiko: A Dog’s Story not only caters to my fondness of Akita Inus, it also caters to my non-gay fondness of Richard Gere.  Normally I’d complain about the lack of originality within Hollywood but I think I’ll give them a pass for this one.  The story of Hachiko is a touching and inspiring story.  For some reason, this is a dog’s story so maybe dogs will be able to relate to this movie more than humans?  Are dogs allowed in screenings for this film?  Will this movie do for canines that Marley & Me did for nobody at all?

Seriously, how come nobody told me Marley & Me ended like that?  What the fuck, people?

pulce e morta nell'ultimo attacco

It was around eight pm on the 24 of february, the Akita inu that once devoured my puppy two years ago, attacked and killed my one year old “pulce” who was the inseparable companion of my seven year old’ daughter.

Pulce died almost immediately leaving a sense of emptiness around, as she was deeply loved by everyone in the neighbour.

I sued the scumbags that own the Akita. The law here is not so good on terms of dog’s attacks, so it will all end up with a fine, and my nightmare to go on and on.

Be careful Akita Inu are not so good as they seem, they can turn into wild beasts… I have seen one of them as on the first attack I was trying to help one of my little dogs who was being bitten by one of them, to release her. I pounded the akita on the back as if it were the fight for my life, with a garden chair.

Moments later, the chair was destroyed on the dog’s back but he did not let it go  these my friends are the true and real stories I had to put up with by dealing with such dogs.

They are indeed the stronger dogs we know of. But without any doubts they are  the most dangerous I have seen alive. 

Gli Akita del vicino mi hanno sbranato (per la seconda volta ) il piccolo meticcio di famiglia. Anche se due anni fa era stata presentata regolare denuncia ai carabinieri  per la morte di un altro cagnolino di famiglia dell’età di undici anni, i vicini sono stati multati con un’ammenda di pochi euro….ed eccoli riapparire come un incubo infinito dopo due anni a sbranare Pulce un simpatico meticcio di poco più di un anno, gioia di tutti i bimbi che lo incontravano grrazie al suo carattere dolce e giocherellone, e alla sua piccola stazza che lo faceva assomigliare più ad un peluche che ad un cagnolino vero.

Quella che vado a combattere ora è la battaglia della mia vita, fosse anche l’ultima, per ottenere l’abbattimento o perlomeno l’isolamento dei due cani che continuano a seminare morte e terrore nel piccolo borgo del paesino del veneto dove vivo. Nella mia vita ho affrontato bombe, proiettili, alligatori. Le situazioni rischiose erano il mio pane quotidiano, quando ero un giovane fotoreporter freelance in cerca di stabilire un contatto con agenzie stampa e magazines.

Poi mi sono ritirato, come un centurione stanco di tante battaglie, alcune vinte, altre perdute, ma sempre in ogni caso combattute fino in fondo.

Adesso negli anni della maturita’ vivo la mia piccola famiglia con tutta l’intensità che merita una figlia che adoro ed una moglie che sopporta i miei alti e bassi….

Usando una terminologia dei Nativi Americani “ho dissotterrato l’ascia di guerra” e non avro’ pace fino a che questi cani verranno messi in condizione di non nuocere più ne a me, ne ai miei cagnolini, ne a nessun membro della comunità dove vivo.

Ho presentato una regolare denuncia ai carabinieri, ho assunto un avvocato che intenterà una causa civile con una richiesta di danni per svariate migliaia di euro..no, non mi interessa il risarcimento, ma penso che quando le persone non hanno ne cuore ne cervello bisogna andare a toccarle dove fa più male…in tasca.

Ho scritto una lettera al sindaco di Codognè(il paese dove vivo e sono avvenuti i fatti) affinchè si attivi ed emani un decreto ad hoc, dove nel territorio comunale i cani di grossa taglia e soprattutto quelli che hanno dimostrato di essere pericolosi ed aggressivi come questi, vengano tenuti in appositi recinti e quando econo vengano muniti di museruola.

Ho fatto pubblicare  articoli sui giornali locali, sto provando con quelli  nazionali radio e televisioni,striscia la notizia, il programma di Licia Colo’ che si occupa di animali eccetera….non lascerò niente di intentato; ogni giorno dovra’ scandire una nuova iniziativa affinchè a tutto questo venga messa la parola fine.

Ho bisogno dell’aiuto di tutti coloro che sanno cosa voglia dire l’amore per un cagnolino o un gattino, che gli animali sono come degli amici di famiglia che ci aiutano e ci insegnano, a volte,  a vivere meglio.

Hallo, hier ist wieder eure Alessa. Ich feiere heute einen kleinen Geburtstag, denn ich bin jetzt schon einen ganzen Monat auf dieser Welt – Cool,was ? – Trotzdem sind alle um mich herum noch ein wenig mit Trauer erfüllt. Am Montag ist ein vierbeiniges Familienmitglied leider von uns gegangen: Januk war der Hund meiner Großeltern und auch Mama und Papa trauerten über den Verlust des liebenswerten Akita-Inu’s…

Januk wurde 13 Jahre alt. Papa weiss noch genau, wie sie ihn damals bekommen haben – Da war der Kopf noch größer als der Rest des Hundes und er hatte noch knuffige Schlappohren. Er war unglaublich gutmütig und treu, akzeptierte auch unsere Katzen als Familienmitglieder und freundete sich mit jeder Hündin sofort an.
Wie es das Schickal so wollte, bekam er letztes Jahr die Diagnose: Leukämie, in seinem Fall leider unheilbar. Dank der Tabletten konnte er noch einige schöne Monate  schmerzfrei mit uns erleben, und auch ich durfte ihn in meinem noch so jungen Leben kennen lernen. Doch vergangenen Montag, den 23.02.09 hieß es schließlich doch Abschied nehmen.

Januk, du warst der treuste und liebenswerteste Vierbeiner weit und breit,
wir danken dir für die schöne Zeit,

Machs gut!

“Temperamento do cão Akita:

Protetor, prudente, afetuoso e corajoso. Excelente para crianças por ser muito paciente. Late pouco, nunca late desnecessariamente, e é muito seguro de si. É possessivo com seu território, o que faz desta raça excelente guardiã, tanto de propriedades quanto pessoal.

É muito apegado ao dono, sendo considerado “cão de um dono só”, sofre muito quando abandonado e às vezes não consegue se adaptar aos novos donos. Entretanto, uma vez conquistado será um excelente guardião e companheiro por toda a vida.”

Informação do Wikipédia…mas como para toda regra tem exceção, Tommy foi a exceção.¬¬.

Chegou em casa com 20 dias de vida e cresceu achando que era um Poodle; só pode ser isso, pois Sendy (nossa Poodle) ensinou-o a latir como um.

Desde pequeno já demonstrava seu temperamento forte. Nos primeiros dias em casa, meu quarto ficou todo forrado de jornal e eu o alimentava direto na boca com papinha de ração com leite.

Incrível como meu instinto materno foi se reaflorando; ficava dia e noite cuidando daquela coisa pequenina que em tão pouco tempo se transformou numa coisa imensa, que latia como um tenor!

Era engraçado ver aquele super cão tremendo seu corpo inteiro quando sentia que a chuva se aproximava. Por um tempo, foi a nossa “Previsão do Tempo”. Ele ficava inquieto, com o rabo baixo e colocava a cabeça embaixo da cama e em pouco tempo, víamos o tempo mudando no horizonte.

O medo e o instinto de defesa, somados à hereditariedade, fez com que se tornasse um cão bravo, desconfiado, mas no fundo era um bebezão.

Mudou completamente a nossa vida. Assim como Marley, foi expulso da escola de adestramento e frequentemente cavava buracos em meu jardim, saindo de lá com 1 par de botas de terra nas patas dianteiras. Foi um cachorro impossível, mas deixou um vazio quando se foi. Foi um alento para meu coração, quando li Marley & eu, pois constatei que Tommy não foi o “pior” cachorro do mundo…tinha o Marley na primeira posição.

Tommy veio com uma missão muito importante: Fazer renascer em mim o instinto materno que estava adormecido. Cumpriu sua missão com louvor!

Enquanto esteve conosco, apesar dos atropelos e tropeços, foi companheiro, guardião e muito amado.

Sendy e Tommy

i love them akita inu, the japanese breed…..inu means dog…inu yasha means dog spirit…wow life is an anime….more info about thoses cuties in german can be found here

As I said in this post (click here), Hollywood has remade many Japanese movies.

Well, it seems that the American actor, Richard Gere is starring in another Hollywood remake of a Japanese movie. As I mention in this post (click here), Richard Gere was in the U.S. remake of the Japanese movie titled “Shall We Dance?“…and now he’s in a remake of the Japanese movie 「ハチ公物語」　(Hachiko’s Story).

The Hollywood version is called “Hachiko: A Dog’s Story“.

The Japanese movie, 「ハチ公物語」　(Hachiko’s Story), is a true story.

One difference in the U.S. version is that the real ハチ公 (Hachiko) was an 秋田犬 (Akita-inu dog)…

But the dog is the Richard Gere movie, “Hachiko: A Dog’s Story“, is a 柴犬 (Shiba-inu dog).

They look similar…but not the same.

Have you seen either “Hachiko: A Dog’s Story” or the original 「ハチ公物語」　(Hachiko’s Story)? If not, are you planning to? If you have watched them, what was your impression?

Do you know the story of 「ハチ公」　(Hachiko)?

「ハチ公」 (Hachiko), or 「忠犬ハチ公」 (“Faithful dog Hachiko“), is a famous statue near 渋谷駅 (Shibuya train station) in Tokyo. It’s in honor of a dog named 「ハチ公」 (Hachiko) that waited at that train station everyday for his master…and after his master died, he still waited for him at the station everyday for about ten years (until the dog died)!

「ハチ公」 (Hachiko) is considered a symbol of loyalty and faithfulness to loved ones.

By the way, when Helen Keller visited Japan in the 1930’s, she was so inspired by the story of 「ハチ公」 (Hachiko) that she got an 秋田犬 (Akita-inu dog) for herself.

A raça é originária do Japão. Sua função original era a caça e posteriormente chegou a ser usado para rinhas. Hoje o governo proíbe sua utilização em rinhas e procura manter a sua integridade.

Trata-se de um excelente cão de guarda e um ótimo companheiro, de caráter dócil e afetuoso com a sua família. No entanto, é bastante reservado com estranhos e não faz novas amizades com facilidade.

O Akita é um cão muito inteligente, tem um andar enérgico e é bastante imponente.

Possui pêlo duro, nem longo e nem curto. A pelagem exterior é dura e reta, e possui um sub-pêlo macio e abundante. A garupa e a cernelha são revestidas com um pêlo ligeiramente mais longo que o do resto do corpo. As cores são o vermelho fulvo, o sésamo (pêlos vermelhos com pontas pretas), o tigrado e o branco.

O tamanho dos machos é de 67 cm, e das fêmeas é de 61 cm na altura da cernelha, com tolerância de 3 cm para mais, ou para menos, desde que o exemplar tenha uma boa forma geral.
