  • History of the Pomeranian
    THE HISTORY OF THE POMERANIAN by Cathy Driggers & Kelly D. Reimschiissel With more coat than body, Pomeranians have quite an interesting history behind them. The Pomeranian, as we know it today, descended originally from the Spitz family of dogs in the frozen Arctic region of Iceland. These Spitz dogs were much larger than the modern Pom as evidenced by their primary purpose of herding, pulling sleds, and guarding. In Italy they were used to watch over their owner’s items. The Pomeranians would alert their owner of someone coming or attempting to steal their valuables. Spitz breeds mean a type of dog that has several wolf- like characteristics. For instance, small ears to help reduce the risk of frostbite. The insulating undercoat that is denser than the guard hairs to trap the warmth and protect them from the heat. At some point in time, the Spitz was transported into Europe, most commonly along the southern coast of the Baltic Sea. This particular Baltic region was called Pomerania, which now includes parts of present day Poland and Germany, and is where the Pomeranian name came from. Pommore or Pommern means “on the sea.” Canine historians also believe that this is the location that the breed was first downsized to about 30-40 lbs. More specifically Pomeranians are part of the German Spitzen group, a subgroup of the Spitz type, which is comprised of five different sizes of dogs. FCI and German historians consider the German Spitz to be the oldest breed of dog in Central Europe from which other breeds have been produced.

  • Hip Dysplasia Scheme Breed Specific Statistics 2019
    Hip Dysplasia Scheme Breed Specific Statistics 2019 The below table outlines the median hip score for each breed screened under the CHS Hip Dysplasia Scheme. The breed median score is the ‘middle’ score for all dogs’ in that breed (i.e. an equal number of dogs in that breed have scored higher or lower than the median score). Hip scores should be considered along with other criteria as part of responsible breeding programme. It is recommended that breeders choose breeding stock with hips scores around, and ideally below, the 5-year breed median score. By representing dogs scored in the last 15 years, a more accurate reflection of each breed’s current state of health and improvement is given. The 5-year median here refers to dogs scored between 1st January 2015 and 31st December 2019. Hip dysplasia status of the parents, siblings and progeny for Kennel Club registered dogs should also be considered, and these together with a three generation Health Test Pedigree may be downloaded via the Health Test Results Finder, available on the Kennel Club's online health tool Mate Select. In addition, estimated breeding values (EBVs) are available for breeds in which a significant number of breeds have been scored, via the same link.

  • History of the Alaskan Malamute
    History of the Alaskan Malamute by Barbara Brooks and Sherry Wallis from the book "The Alaskan Malamute ‐ Yesterday and Today" published by Alpine Books) Origins The Malamute today is a product of his historical origins. His ancestors came across the Bering Strait from Siberia to Alaska during the last Ice Age with the ancestors of the Inuit people who today inhabit the Arctic regions of North America and Greenland. The People of the Arctic The prehistory of these Arctic natives stretches back through many millennia and is largely a reflection of their adaptations to varying climatic conditions. Because they had no written language and virtually no contact with outside historians until the 18th century, their past is an ever shifting puzzle defined by pieces provided by archeologist, linguists, paleontologists, and anthropologists. The resulting picture of pre‐Inuit de,·elopment is one of successive waves of immigration from Asia over the Bering Strait land bridge, through Arctic North America to Greenland. During long cycles over the millennia, the weather warmed and then cooled, forcing the natives to change their lifestyle as their environment changed. Continued existence depended on their ability to adapt. Their success resulted from technological developments such as harpoons and kayaks, which allowed them to expand their food base, as well as their use of dogs in a partnership for mutual survival. The ancestors of modern sled dogs, the northern‐type dog that accompanied the prelnuit​ on their travels, represent an ancient dog strain with a long history of working for man. The pre‐lnuit's migratory lifestyle varied with the seasons.
