Portrait of the breed

History of spicu

Spicove are a very wide group of breeds of significant exterior and constructed. In addition to the German flak is FCI recognized, more than forty other spicu, alphabetically speaking from Akita inu via bye bye, Peruvian stolen or Sicilian CHRT after the promulgation of the Thai redgebacka.

Despite the significant differences in size, proportions, the quality of the fur, barevnostech and spicove are some of the common nature of the typical characters: tail curled over the back, with the Wolf-face, short and high wearing high, rectangular shape of the body and a distinctive hair protruding from the skin on the neck with a collar with a denser fur.

Spicove is one of the oldest types of domestic dogs and the remains of their possible ancestor, dog raselinneho (sometimes preklano Marsh), are found in the premises of the Central and the younger stone age in Europe and in Asia.

All lovers of spicu like to be credited to the breed as the oldest and rarest origin,so bring the meaning of the words respect dog (Canis Familiaris Palustris) to the top of the raselinnemu. At least it says h. Raeber, who gave (i) spicum in my two-piece encyclopedia breeds considerable attention and space.

Yet he is one of the pinnacles of the oldest forms of the domestic dog, originating in the days when one could almost certainly to breeds in today's terms would not interfere. Xenophon's at the end of 3. and 4. century BC. Kr. He described the lisciho dog, which might be the Middle spicovite breed with reddish hair, and similar dogs are to be seen, for example. the Mycenaean terakotach from 1200 BC, at a later date the image on the jar of Attica (about Rs. 400 BC), or on the headstones of the graves of the stele Street in Athens (56 BC). Display of dogs that have at least three of the basic characters of the nose, pointy face, upright ears and curled up tail.

In the earlier epochs times, when Europe was largely zalednena, moving people in a more favorable climate in Asia and Siberia,and from Cukotky and Over the North American continent. So the original types of spicu in South-East Asia (batacky Spitz), China (HI-HI), Korea (e.g. giljacka laika), as far as Kamchatka (korjacka laika) and from Siberia again in North-West Europe. On the British Isles while, oddly enough, these dogs came and the English is not your own tip. In Central Europe, found the remains? predecessors keeshonda, siperky, etc. Some time later, the spicove get from China to Japan, where they formed the local Oriental variety.

It is now some called spicove the words "indicating that the space (Spitz Finnish, Japanese, norbotensky, vaestgoetlandsky, or German), does not indicate the place of origin of the spicu as a group, but only the local jurisdiction, or later, the country of origin of a particular breed.

Indeed, as are the spike of the breeds which directly Word spokes in its name: Alaskan malamute, have an Italian volpino, podenco Canario, Sicilian Greyhound, go West-or vychodosibirska laika.

Long was the assumption that spicove came from Pomerania, from the territory of the Baltic Sea, which today falls under the Poland and Germany. Certainly there were and are likely to be in abundance, so when the spread in Europe, they were automatically called Pomerian (in England), Loulou de Pomeranie (in France), Pommerska Spet-zen (in Sweden) and even in the southern parts of Germany were calling him as Pommerle, because they had their Mannheimmerny.

The result of a deliberate interbreeding became the large breeds spicu designed to haul loads, to the North of Germany again helped spicove as escort of cargo carriages, to guard the cargo and hunted rats in the stables. Earned the designation of the povoznicky Spitz, and even at that time it was claimed that the supervised cargo is more than his master. There probably is a false characterization of Pomeranian dog, missing loyalty. The opposite is true,because according to the account of the originating in 1872 (f. Specht quoted in Raeberove of the encyclopedia) were spicove enough to rely on their masters-Coachman and formany-he slept only when man was awake and on his lap, and when the Lord as he fell asleep, Spitz, not only but also horses and finding them easiest places on the way.

The proverbial vigilance spicu used elsewhere. For example, in the vicinity of Stuttgardu guard vineyards, not only from human thieves, but said the dog into the country and the birds, and, for example, for Bochumi to help the animals of the bovine herds, which prove the Memorial at the square. At one time even the differences between spicem and Shepherd, draperies, which is demonstrated by the old designation Huetespitz-pastoral Shepherd-and already mentioned f. Specht in its time, claimed that the Shepherd is in the first instance to the spicum. it is therefore not surprising that the first Association, which straddle the apex,He was the League for the shepherds and the Pomeranian.

The development of the German Pomeranian

The most common variety points in Germany appeared in the vicinity of Cologne, Cach and Duesseldorfu and a large nose, usually the color of the gray wolf. They were probably the most common dog, but the point was owned by the family, for example, Mozartu and, later, the last emperor, Wilhelm II wuerttembersky.

However, to the end of the 19th century. century, the popularity of spicu in Germany dwindled and they began to be replaced by other breeds. German breeders because in 1899 from the Elbersfeldu into a separate Association for German flak, at the same time was also the Frankfurt Club spicu.

According to the size, distinguish only two spokes-big impacts (with kohoutkovou a height of 30 to 35 centimetres, which corresponds to today's middle type) and a small dwarf Spitz (where the neudavala height, but weight: max 4 kilograms--which would correspond to 25 cm high dog, who would today fit into the type of small, rather than the dwarf Spitz. When in 1906 established the so-called.The Conference delegates at the height of the small points to 26 inches). In 1910, the two existing societies merged, and since then, there is one association, with the name of the Club for the German flak.

In chromaticity, were all the colors that the dog may have. The oldest form of was considered to be the vlkosedy Spitz, to the North of Germany, which was predominantly white, on the lower Rhine gray and black spicove to the South. The breeders had tried to avoid the blue colour, because it has the defects of the coat (the so-called Blue syndrome a Doberman). Honor the figure with the kvadratickym the framework of the body and richness of fur, in particular full curling around his neck and tail shape of generously laid across the spine.

The Association decided at its first General Assembly on the establishment of herd-books for points and provides a description of the breed. Recognised were two sizes in the colours black, white, Brown, rysava, gray and strakata, and following discussions between advocates of round versus flat skulls won fans of Wolf heads.

Since 1905, they were Wolf-spicove kept their size, with a height of at least 45 centimetres, and other colors were laid down 40 centimetres; Nothing in between. In 1955, was rejected by the medium size.
