Polish Lowland Sheepdog

By adminpuppy Posted in Dog Breeds / No Comments »

Description.

The Polish lowland sheepdog is a medium to large size with the male dogs measuring 16-20 inches in height and weighing 30-35 pounds, and the female bitch being some 42-47cms high and 13-18kgs in weight. They have a double coat which is shiny on the outside, with the undercoat being downy, for warmth and weather resistance. Whereas they can be any colour the most common are, brown, white, and grey with grey, black or brown markings, these colours can fade as the dog ages. These are large boned with a strong skeleton supporting a fairly impressive musculature.

History.

As the name suggests these dogs originated in Poland, where they are still quite common. However, in Poland they are known by their correct name, which is the Polish Owczarek Nizinny often shortened to PONS (and with a name like that you can see why). Whilst bred originally as a sheepdog the vast majority are now kept as pets, although in their native Poland some are still kept as working dogs. This breed, as with many others, nearly reached extinction during World War II, but was revived by Polish breeders after the end of the war.

Temperament.

These are generally happy dogs, which are quite animated and boisterous, while also being affectionate and intelligent with a good level of obedience. They can be wary and watchful of people they do not know, and will announce the arrival of any of your visitors, in no uncertain terms, at very high-volume. You need to assert yourself over your pet as early as possible, they are bred to look after sheep and have a strong instinct to be in charge, if you do not show this dog that they are number two and you are, in fact, in charge then problems may arise. As long as they are socialised early they will be a faithful friendly household pet, however there herding instinct can surface and you may find that the dog starts to nip at ankles, trying to herd the family. Whilst this can be annoying; you have to admit it is quite funny. If being raised in a family with young children, this trait could be quite handy, if you send your dog out they will be able the round of your children and bring them home (providing great entertainment to their friends, I am sure).
Health issues.

As with most medium to large dogs the Polish lowland sheepdog can sufferer from hip dysplasia. Other problems include a possibility of epilepsy, and a risk of congenital deafness. Although overall they are a healthy breed with a life expectancy of 12 to 15 years.
Grooming. Because of their very long shaggy coat, they require grooming at least once a week with a stiff brush and comb, to prevent knots and matting of their fur. They will require bathing fairly regularly, to eliminate the risk of tics and other skin parasites, which tend to like living in this type of fur and can be difficult to remove. Dependent on the surfaces they walk, they will require their nails to be clipped regularly.
Living conditions.

This breed will require a good amount of exercise; however, as long as they receive this they are reasonably happy with living in either an apartment or house. They prefer cooler weather, but during summer they can cope providing the area they are in is well ventilated, they could be kept in the garden, if you have one, during the summer daytimes. They are friendly and can easily be accommodated in a house with children, as with all large dogs care must be taken of small children as whilst playing it is easy for them to be accidentally knocked over, especially if the dog gets a little overexcited.

The Great Dane Common Health Problems

By adminpuppy Posted in Dog Health / No Comments »

Great Danes are one of the most beautiful breeds of dogs, and frequently win people over with their good natures, but, like many breeds of large dogs, they live only 7-10 years. Several health problems are common to a Great Dane.

Bloat is the most dangerous common health problem in Great Danes. In large dogs with deep chests, for some reason the stomach can become enlarged and rotate, so that it is twisted at the ends like a Tootsie Roll. This does not allow the stomach contents to move along the digestive tract. This is extremely painful and a life-threatening emergency that must be treated surgically within a few hours to save the dog’s life.

Dilated Cardiomyopathy (DCM) is a disease thought to be inherited in Great Danes. The muscle of the heart expands, making it difficult for the enlarged heart to generate the pressure to pump blood throughout the large body. Unfortunately, it is progressive. Other heart defects include malformed valves, holes in the partition dividing the right and left sides of the heart, and narrowing of a large artery called the aorta as it leaves the heart.

Bone cancer and cancer of the immune system are also problems that frequently end Great Danes’ lives. They are believed to be hereditary, although the type of inheritance has yet to be worked out.

Hip Dysphasia is another malformation frequently afflicting large dogs, and the Great Dane is no exception. Dogs can become crippled due to defective hips, and can have difficulty having normal bowel movements.

Autoimmune thyroiditis afflicts some Great Danes when the immune system makes antibodies that attack the thyroid gland. The thyroid gland is responsible for making a hormone that helps the dog to be energetic and burn calories to make heat. Without a normal thyroid hormone level the dog can be lethargic. Fortunately, the condition is easily treated with thyroid hormone pills.

Wobblers is a condition caused by malformed neck bones. This can cause the dog to walk in a “drunken” manner. Some Great Danes inherit the disorder and some get it from accidents.

When Great Dane puppies are growing rapidly, they can have bone problems that can cause them to be lame or fatigued. Some bone conditions clear up with maturity and some do not.

When shopping for a Great Dane, one of the most gorgeous dog breeds, look for one with a healthy family history, and have your puppy checked for possible health problems.
