Darbo pavadinimas: Rekreacija su šunimi. Vipetų veislės panaudojimo lenktynių sporte galimybių tyrimas. Darbo tikslas: ištirti vipetų veislės šunų tinkamumą lenktynėms. Darbo uţdaviniai: 1. Greičio varţybose išmatuoti vipetų ir kitų jiems giminingų bei negiminingų veislių greitį bėgant 200 m distanciją. 2. Išmatuoti vipetų bei jiems eksterjeriškai artimų veislių iš FCI X ir FCI V grupių – levrečių bei Ibizos šunų - anatomines kūno dalis. 3. Apskaičiuoti vipetų veislės šunų kūno dalių indeksus ir palyginti juos su greičio bėgimo varţybose rezultatais. Tyrimo metodika: Darbas buvo atliekamas 2019 – 2020 m. vipetų šunų veislyne „Mano Šansonetė― bei Vilniaus ţirgyno hipodrome. Tyrimo greičio bandymuose dalyvavo 31 šunys – 10 vipetų veislės šunų, 5 Ibizos šunys, 5 levretės, 2 Faraonų veislės šunys, po vieną saliukį, Kanarų podenką, Rodezijos ridţbeką, Lietuvių skaliką, Sibiro haskį, Korsikos šunį, Ispanų kurtą, greihaundą ir basendţį. Visi šunys yra ne vieną sykį dalyvavę bėgimuose, todėl jų greičio rezultatai yra stabilūs. Išvados: 1. Vipetai pasiţymėjo labai dideliu greičiu. Bandymuose patinai 200 m distanciją nubėgo per 15,04 s, patelės 0,95 s lėčiau (p>0,05). Vidutinis vipetų greitis šio ilgio distancijoje yra 15,42 s, (46,69 km/h). 2. Vipetų patinai vidutiniškai aukštesni, sunkesni, turi platesnius klubus ir didesnę krūtinės apimtį lyginant su vipetų patelėmis (p<0,05). Lyginant su saliukais (FCI X) vipetai yra vidutiniškai lengvesni, ţemesni, turi maţiau gilią krūtinę, trumpesnį įstriţinį liemens ilgį, maţesnes krūtinės ir plaštakos apimtis (p<0,05). Vipetai lyginant su Ibizos šunimis (FCI V) yra lengvesni, turi maţiau plačią krūtinę, trumpesnį įstriţinį juosmens ilgį, maţesnę plaštakos apimtį (p<0,05). Šie duomenys parodo, kad bėgimo greitis nėra įtakojamas vien šuns svorio bei aukščio, o priklauso ir nuo individualių šuns savybių. 3. Tyrimo metu nenustatyta statistiškai reikšmingo ryšio tarp kūno indeksų ir vipetų greičio. Raktiniai ţodţiai: vipetai, šunų lenktynės, šunų greitis. 3 SUMMARY Master’s thesis by: Greta Trepėnaitytė. Title: Recreation with dogs. Study on the possibilities of using whippets in dog racing sports The aim of this study was to determine the suitability of whippets participation in dog racing. Objects of this study: 1. To measure the speed of whippets, other related and unrelated dog breeds over a distance of 200 m. 2. To measure anatomical parts of the body of whippets and externally close dog breeds (Italian Greyhound and Ibizian Hound) from FCI X and V groups. 3. To evaluate body part indeces of anatomical parts of whippets and to compare the measurements with results of speed running competition. Research methodology: Data for this study was collected during 2019-2020 period in kennel ―Mano Šansonetė‖ and in ―Vilniaus ţirgyno hipodromas‖. 31 dogs were tested during speed trials: 10 whippets, 5 Ibizian hounds, 5 Italian greyhounds, 2 Pharaoh hounds, 1 Saluki dog, 1 Podenco Canario, 1 Rhodesian ridgeback, 1 Lithuanian hound, 1 Siberian husky, 1 Cane Corso, 1 Galgo Español, 1 Greyhound and 1 Basenji. All dogs in this study have stable speed results since all of them have past history of dog racing Results: 1. During the speed test the whippets were characterized by very high speed. On average male whippets finished 200 m distance in 15,04 secondes, female whippets on average came 0,95 secondes slower (p>0,05). Average whippet speed during for this the test was 15,42 seconds (46,69 km/h). 2. Male whippets were moderately taller, heavier, had wider hips, and had larger chest circumference compared to female whippets (p<0.05). Compared to saluki dogs (FCI X), whippets are on average lighter, lower, have less deep chest, shorter diagonal waist length, smaller chest and hand circumference (p<0.05). Whippets are lighter compared to Ibizan dogs (FCI V), have less broad chest, shorter diagonal waist length, smaller hand circumference (p<0.05). These data show that running speed is not only influenced by the dog's weight and height, but also depends on the individual characteristics of the dog. 3. The study did not find a statistically significant relationship between body indices and whippet speed. Keywords: whippets, dogs racing, dogs speed. 4 SANTRUMPOS AKC – American Kennel Club, UKC - United kennel club, CKC - Canadian kennel club, FCI - Federation cynologique international, LKD – Lietuvos kinologų draugija, CACL - Certificats d‘Aptitude au Championnat de Lévriers‖, CACIL - „Certificats d‘Aptitude au Championnat International de Lévriers‖, LŠVK – Lietuvos šunų veislių knyga, DEA – Dog Erythrocyte Antigen, VP – vipetai, SL – saliūkiai, IB – Ibizos šunys, LV – levretės, KP – Kanarų podenkas, RR – Rodezijos ridţbekas, LS – Lietuvos skalikas, SH – Sibiro haskis, KS – Korsikos šuo, IK – ispanų kurtas, GH – greihaundas, BS – basendţis, FS – Faraonų šuo, 5 ĮVADAS Šuo yra pirmasis prijaukintas gyvūnas, šalia ţmogaus esantis jau daugiau kaip 15000 metų [1].

  • MBDCA Versatility Title Requirements
    MBDCA Versatility Title Requirements Section I. The Mixed Breed Versatility Titles The Mixed Breed Versatility Titles are designed to showcase the breadth of activities that MBDCA-registered dogs participate and excel in. There are three levels of Mixed Breed Versatility Titles available: Mixed Breed Versatility (MB- V), Mixed Breed Versatility Excellent (MB-VX), and Mixed Breed Versatility Master (MB-VM). Each level of title is based primarily on the number of different categories a dog has earned titles in. Each category represents related activities such as Obedience, Conformation, or Draft Work, so dogs must show they are versatile by working and/or earning titles from many different types of activities. Versatility titles are earned in the following manner: Mixed Breed Versatility (MB-V) The dog who earns 5 points in at least 3 different categories 1-12, or 4 points in 3 categories 1-12 plus 1 point in Category X shall be designated a Mixed Breed Versatility dog and may place the letters “MB-V” after its name. For each additional 5 points earned after the first 5 points, the title designation shall become MB-V2, MB-V3, MB-V4, etc. Mixed Breed Versatility Excellent (MB-VX) The dog who earns 10 points in at least 5 different categories 1-12, or 9 points in 5 categories 1-12 plus 1 point in Category X shall be designated a Mixed Breed Versatility Excellent dog and may place the letters “MB-VX” after its name. For each additional 10 points earned after the first 10 points, the title designation shall become MB-VX2, MB-VX3, MB-VX4, etc.

  • De Border Collie, Australian Shepherd En Australian Cattle Dog
    De Border Collie, Australian Shepherd en Australian Cattle Dog. Achtergrond en ontstaan van hun gedrag. Elian Hattinga van ’t Sant Dit keer drie herdershondenrassen van drie verschillende continenten. Drie - ja, u leest het goed - want de Australian Shepherd is een Amerikaan en geen Australiër. En het grappige is dat – ondanks dat men de Aussie pas na de tweede Wereldoorlog als rashond is gaan fokken - niemand schijnt te weten hoe hij precies aan zijn Australische naam is gekomen. Bouw Uiterlijk lijken de Border Collie en de Australian Shepherd op het eerste gezicht nogal op elkaar. Maar wie goed kijkt, ziet dat ze qua bouw totaal verschillen. De Aussie is een vrij stevige, wat vierkantere hond die de langgerekte soepelheid van de Border mist. Genetisch staat de Aussie volgens het onderzoek van Parker (2012) dan ook dichter bij de Schotse Collie en de Shetland Sheepdog dan bij de Border Collie. De Aussie mist ook het voor de Border Collie zo typische eye en het bijbehorende (sluip)gedrag. De verklaring voor dit verschil ligt in de ecologische en sociaal-economische omstandigheden waaronder de rassen tot bloei kwamen. Wol Al in de middeleeuwen vormde de wolhandel de ruggegraat van de Britse economie. Tot op heden zit de voorzitter van het Britse Hogerhuis op de ‘wolzak’, letterlijk een vierkante zak gevuld met wol, die de herinnering aan Engelands ooit voornaamste bron van inkomsten levend houdt. Het landschap van Noord-Engeland, Wales en Schotland met enorme uitgestrekte moorlands en heidevelden leende zich uitstekend voor de schapenteelt. Er viel zoveel geld mee te verdienen dat dit tussen globaal 1750 en 1850 leidde tot de zogenaamde Highland Clearances, een zwarte bladzijde uit de Schotse geschiedenis.

Closer and closer she slinks. T The sheep skitter nervously back and forth, but the dog only mirrors their movements, and draws closer yet. A heartbeat before the sheep bolt, a woman’s voice rings out: “Lie down!” The dog drops immediately, but her eyes remain pinned on the flock as she tensely waits for the next command. This time, the woman makes a series of whistles. Each new tone causes the dog to move left, right, push ahead, draw back—instantly. “If we didn’t have a Border Collie,” says sheep farmer Sarah Nettleton, “we wouldn’t have sheep.” She laughs: “You want to hear the air turn blue around here?

  • British Sheepdog Trials, 1873–
    Rural History (2006) 17, 1, 65–82. C 2006 Cambridge University Press 65 doi:10.1017/S0956793305001603 Printed in the United Kingdom The Rationalisation of Rural Sport: British Sheepdog Trials, 1873–1946 ALBION M. URDANK Department of History, University of California, Los Angeles Abstract The article analyses the evolution in both the forms and changing social content of British Sheepdog trials, from the first recorded event at Bala, Wales in 1873 to the advent of their revival following the Second World War (during which they had been suspended). Contrary to popular myth, early trials were gentry sponsored and therefore heavily freighted with elite values concerning the nature of the shepherds’ craft. Early trials accented speed, agility and obedience in the dog, as well as sheer entertainment value, arising often from debacles that might ensue in any given run. The trials, too, remained adjuncts to elite, Kennel-club style dog-shows, with their focus on conformation and the physical beauty of the animal. As the social prominence of the aristocracy and gentry receded after 1880, so too did their role in defining the nature of the sheepdog trial. With the founding of the International Sheepdog Society in 1906 by shepherds and farmers, the rules for such trials became transformed, reflecting more the actual work of the shepherd, and indirectly the larger shift within agriculture toward more specialised sheep production. These new rules gave the trial a rigorous aspect at once more modern than earlier prototypes, yet rooted in the craft traditions of rural artisans. At the same time, the shepherds and farmers, who made practical use of sheepdogs, assumed direction of the sport.
