  • Illustrated Guide Prepared by the American Lhasa Apso Club Breed Standard Committee the American Lhasa Apso Club Illustrated Guide to the Standard
    TheAmerican Lhasa Apso Club The Lhasa Apso Illustrated Guide Prepared by The American Lhasa Apso Club Breed Standard Committee The American Lhasa Apso Club Illustrated Guide to the Standard The Lhasa Apso standard is an attempt to define an ideal specimen and is a descriptive guide by which a Lhasa Apso should be judged. The standard is not designed for the person who has never seen a Lhasa Apso but is meant as a description for those who are familiar with the breed and dogs in general. It is important, therefore, to offer this guide as a more in-depth study of the unique qualities that set the Lhasa Apso apart from other breeds and, at the same time, emphasize the characteristics that cause the Lhasa Apso to be representative of the breed. CHARACTER - GAY AND ASSERTIVE, BUT CHARY OF STRANGERS. Originating in the lonely and isolated reaches of the Himalayan mountains, Lhasa Apsos reflect their Tibetan heritage in many characteristic ways. Relatively unchanged for hundreds of years, these sturdy little mountain dogs are fastidious by nature and are guardians, especially within their domain. When looking his best, the Lhasa Apso exhibits a regal attitude. He is seldom a pet but rather a companion, often a clown, but never a fool. Lhasa exhibiting its regal attitude Lhasa playing in the snow Historically in Tibet, his primary function was that of a guardian inside Buddhist monasteries and homes of Tibetan nobility, where his intelligence, acute hearing and natural instinct for being able to identify friend from stranger made him well-suited for this role.

    SCIENTIFIC COLLECTION «INTERCONF» | № 44 ZOOLOGY AND VETERINARY MEDICINE Mkrtchyan G.V. Candidate of Agricultural Sciences, Associate Professor of the Department of Genetics and Divorces of Animal Names V.F. Krasoty, FGBO in the The Moscow State Academy of Veterinary Medicine and Biotechnology named after K.I. Skryabin, Russian Federation EXTERIOR AND CONSTITUTIONAL FEATURES AND COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF LIVING WEIGHT IN DOGS OF DECORATIVE BREEDS Abstract. The creation of dogs of the desired type is possible only when taking into account the patterns of individual development, as well as factors that influence the rearing of puppies. Ontogeny is a set of quantitative and qualitative changes that occur after fertilization of the egg and the formation of a zygote, throughout the life of an individual in accordance with the genotype inherited by it and the reaction rate. The individual development of a dog can be defined otherwise than as a set of age-related, morphological, biochemical and physiological changes that take place in the body throughout life. In ontogeny, the organism undergoes changes in growth and development. Every organism reaches maturity after a more or less long period of growth and development, the first of these terms means only an increase in size, while the term development means a change in structure. Both of these processes are interconnected. Constitution and exterior are important indicators of economically useful qualities of dogs. The constitutional characteristics of organisms are formed in the process of ontogenesis under the influence of the hereditary inclinations of the parents. An important factor in the formation of the constitution together with heredity are environmental conditions, especially feeding.

  • Brachycephalic Airway Syndrome
    Brachycephalic Airway Syndrome Providing excellence in patient care… © 2018 Veterinary Specialist Services Pty Ltd | ABN 29 093 815 359 Website: www.vss.net.au Brachycephalic Airway Syndrome Some breeds of dogs and cats are prone to difficult, obstructive breathing because of the shape of their head, nose and upper airways. The most common dogs affected are the “brachycephalic” breeds. Brachycephalic means “short- headed.” Some common brachycephalic dog breeds include the English bulldog, French bulldog, Pug, Pekingese, and Boston terrier. These dogs have been bred to have relatively short muzzles and noses and, because of this, the upper airways are compressed and there is obstruction of airflow through the upper airways. The condition worsens with age and may lead to secondary changes. Some cat breeds such as the Persian have similar brachycephalic problems. The primary problems seen in brachycephalic dogs include: 1. Stenotic nares – where the nostrils are too small to allow adequate passage of air making breathing through the nose difficult. 2. Elongated soft palate – where the soft palate is too long. In these cases the soft palate is excessively long allowing it to sit within the opening of the trachea (windpipe) and thus obstructs normal airflow. The elongated soft palate creates turbulent airflow resulting in the increased respiratory noise we hear in brachycephalic dogs, including snoring. 3. Tracheal hypoplasia – where the trachea (windpipe) is too small. This condition cannot be treated however addressing the other airway issues may be of benefit. 4. Tonsillar hyperplasia or enlarged tonsils. This is common in brachycephalic breeds due to chronic inflammation. Some surgeons advise tonsillectomy at the time of airway surgery.

  • Is There a Difference Between Fawn and Black Pugs? Aside from the Color, There Is No Difference Between the Two
    What is the origin of the Pug? The Pug is considered an Oriental breed with ancestral ties to the Pekingese and perhaps the Shih Tzu. There is no clear date of introduction of the Pug and many people disagree due to the lack of records available. The Pug was introduced to America just after the Civil War and was recognized by the American Kennel Club in the mid-1880’s. Is there a difference between fawn and black Pugs? Aside from the color, there is no difference between the two. On average, Pugs live about 12 years, but they’ve been known to live well beyond their average life span with proper care, nutrition and of course some good luck. Are Pugs easy to train? Pugs are moderately easy to train, making them neither easy to train, nor difficult. They maintain a stubborn streak, which can present occasional problems. Fortunately, though, a Pug is a people dog who is eager to please and receive attention. And they’re lovers of all things edible with the possible exception of lettuce and thus can be bribed to do what you want them to do rather easily. Are Pugs good apartment dogs? Absolutely! Pugs are small indoor dogs who don’t require a lot of room to run inside or outside, making them ideal for apartment dwellers. An apartment Pug needs consistent outdoor time in order to thrive in that setting. Are Pugs good with children? Yes, yes. A thousand times yes! Pugs are among the most gentle and passive breeds of all.
