More breeds!

4/23/2019

0 Comments

 
I've been continuing to post about various breeds of dogs and cats throughout April, along with some of the health issues experienced by these breeds.  Here are the breeds I've discussed:

The Black and Tan Coonhound originates in the US, originally bred to hunt raccoons (as the name suggests). The are black and tan (again, as the name suggests) with a smooth and short coat.
*
These guys probably originated from crosses of Bloodhounds and Foxhounds. They are mellow, amiable and calm indoors. Outdoors, their hunting instincts take over! They can run for miles, but are also content with a moderate jog or long walk daily.
*
Health concerns include hip dysplasia and ectropion.
Picture
The Japanese Bobtail is an ancient breed indigenous to Japan. They were brought to the US at the end of World War II by returning American soldiers.
*
They are medium in overall size, large, upright and expressive ears that are wide set, large, oval eyes in colours that harmonize with their coat. The tail is curved and "bobbed" (as per the name), the coat can be medium (shorthairs) in length or longhair, often with a front ruff. They tend to come in tricolours (black, red and white), bicolour, solid, dilutes (tabby and particoloured).
*
There are no particular health problems associated with Japanese Bobtails, besides the usual "Feline-wide" issues like kidney disease and potential dental problems.
Picture
Bloodhounds are originally from Belgium and England with the original job of trailing. They are black and tan, liver and tan, and red. Males can weigh up to 110 pounds(females up to 100 pounds)!
*
The roots of the Bloodhound trace back to ancient times, with the earliest ancestors being the black Saint Hubert hounds documented in Europe by the 8th century. They are quiet at home, but tireless trailers. They need long daily walks and drool a great deal, so their facial wrinkles require daily cleaning.
*
Health concerns include eyelid problems, gastric torsion, ear problems, skin fold dermatitis, hip dysplasia and elbow dysplasia.
