National Purebred Dog Day

3 hours ago

Back in the day, the Lion Hound’s ancestors had dalliances with dogs owned by the Khoekhoe, or Hottentot tribe. To this day, most dogs of the breed are “marked” with a visual reminder of that legacy. The Hottentots’ dogs, in addition to being incredibly courageous, had an identifying ridge of hair on their back which they passed along to their progeny (shattering the explanation that the presence of the ridge is where God sewed them up when he was done stuffing them). Because the ridge gene is a dominant mutation (classed as a dominant autosomal trait), and only one parent needed to carry the marker for offspring to inherit it, the ridge became widely established within the breed. It is possible for such dogs to be produced without the ridge if neither parent carries the gene, but this is rather rare and considered a fault…….and now we’ve wildly digressed. In the 1800s, Cornelius Van Rooyen, a big game hunter, needed a dog with the size, ability and courage to hold a lion at bay. He selectively bred these dogs which came to be known as Van Rooyen’s Lion Hounds. In 1922, these dogs were gathered together which helped Francis Barnes identify the best qualities of each dog. Based on them, the now renamed Rhodesian Ridgeback breed standard was written and remains virtually unchanged today.

National Purebred Dog Day

16 hours ago

In the spring of 2015, a Boston Terrier boarded a city bus and went on a 20-mile ride in Houston with some other passengers. He didn’t belong to any of them.Twenty miles later, he got off the bus with other passengers, one of whom escorted him to the transit authority police station. “He was a very friendly little guy. He was very sociable. But he was a gentleman,” one Metro Police Officer told a news station reporter. From there, the dog was taken to a Veterinary Hospital which agreed to care for the dog (by then nicknamed “Metro”) until an owner or foster family could be found. When no one called to claim “Metro,” a temporary home was found. Long story short, the person serving as his foster parent decided to adopt him.It should come as no surprise, then, a Superhero would own an unflappable Boston Terrier. A Boston named “Ace,” belonged to one of the following, and you’re challenged to name him or her: Was it Superman, the Green Arrow, the Green Lantern, Wonder Woman, or Batman? Answer below.When Dogster.com asked which Super Hero owned, “Ace,” the Boston Terrier, 7% of those polled answered “Superman,” 18% said “Green Arrow,” 31% thought it was the Green Lantern, 19% voted for Wonder Woman, and 26% were sure it was Batman.The correct answer is Batman.Image: “Elvis” by Francesca HudsonStockbridge Gallerywww.dogsinart.com/

An incorrect head on any breed changes expression, if not breed type, but in our view a "bad head" on a Bedlington changes the entire profile of the dog.

The Importance of Stop (or Lack Of)

Very few breeds have a standard that specifically calls for the head to have no stop (a reminder that “stop” on a dog’s head is the place where the muzzle meets the skull). The Bull Terrier, fam...
