My feedback

Put on the computer what the public asks for, not everything about the US.

I asked for a total medal count. I have been looking for 20 minutes and still cannot find it.

I also asked for a specific medal count for a specific country and got a history of when they first started to compete in the Olympics. I asked for a medal count for 2018, as of today,

not a history of that country.

You don't even accept what I have asked.

Description

The Afghan Hound is considered an aristocratic sighthound. Tall and slender with a long, narrow, refined head, silky topknot and powerful jaws, the back part of the head and skull are quite prominent. The muzzle is slightly convex and the nose is black. The Afghan has little or no stop, which is the transition area from backskull to muzzle. The teeth should meet in a level or scissors bite. The dark eyes are almond shaped. The ears lie flat to the head. The neck is long and strong. The height at the withers should be almost level and the abdomen well tucked up. The hipbones are quite prominent. The front legs are strong and straight and the feet are large and covered with long hair. The tail has a curl or ring at the tip, but is not carried over the back. The long, rich, silky coat is most often the color of sand with a darker face and ear fringes, though all colors are permitted. White markings, however, are discouraged.

Temperament

Courageous, dignified, spirited, very sweet, loyal, affectionate and sensitive, with a low dominance level, the Afghan can be somewhat aloof, but socialize well. They must be trained kindly yet in a calm and firm manner. The Afghan has been described as "a king of dogs"—noble, majestic and elegant. They tend to be suspicious of those they do not know, but not hostile. Although tough, they will pine if they are deprived of proper gentle leadership. They will do best with older, considerate children who understand how to be a gentle pack leader. Amenable to training and discipline, they can be disobedient if an owner does not give the dog clear guidelines and consistency with what is expected of their dog. This breed can be difficult to housebreak. It can also be timid and high-strung if it does not receive enough mental and physical exercise.

Height, Weight

Height: Males 27 - 29 inches (68.58 - 73.66 cm); slightly less for females.

Weight: 50 – 64 pounds (22 – 34 kg)

Health Problems

Living Conditions

The Afghan Hound is not recommended for apartment life. They are relatively inactive indoors and do best with acreage. This breed can live in or outdoors, although it would be happier sleeping indoors.

The Afghan Hound needs to be taken on a long daily walk or jog. While out on the walk the dog must be made to heel beside or behind the person holding the lead, as in a dog's mind the leader leads the way, and that leader needs to be the human. Dogs that do not get to go on daily walks are more likely to display behavior problems. Teach them to enter and exit door and gateways after the humans. They will also enjoy running free in an open, fenced, safe area.

Life Expectancy

About 12 to 14 years

Litter Size

1 - 15 puppies, average 8

The long, thick coat demands a great deal of attention. Bathe the dog when necessary. Do not brush in between baths in order to keep coat long and shiny. Brushing a dry coat will damage the coat and even make it more easily matted. Weekly baths are not as important if your Afghan is a pet and will not be shown, but doing so will make the coat less matted and will save you time in the end. Many wear snoods indoors to protect their ears from food bowls. Some owners like to use a special air-cushioned brush called a pinbrush. This breed is an average shedder.

This is a very elegant, ancient dog, native to Sinai, and mentioned several times in Egyptian papyruses as well as pictured in the caves of northern Afghanistan more than 4000 years ago. The breed was kept pure for centuries, and its exportation was always prohibited. It therefore only reached Europe as contraband early in the 1900s. An extremely fast and agile runner, the Afghan is a sighthound, which means it hunts by sight. It was used as a shepherd and as a hunter of many types of game including deer, wild goats, snow leopards and wolves. They were also used by shepherds as herders and watchdogs. Their thick coat protects against temperature extremes. In Europe and America they have become a luxurious pet and show dog because of their aristocratic beauty. Some of the Afghan's talents are hunting, sighting, tracking, herding, watchdog, racing and lure coursing.

Afghan Hound

Since ancient times, Afghan Hounds have been famous for their elegant beauty. But the thick, flowing coat that is the breed’s crowning glory isn’t just for show—it served as protection from the harsh climate in mountainous regions where Afghans originally earned their keep. Beneath the glamorous exterior is a powerful, agile hound—standing as high as 27 inches at the shoulder—built for a long day’s hunt. Their huge paw pads act as shock absorbers on their homeland’s punishing terrain.

General Appearance

The Afghan Hound is an aristocrat, his whole appearance one of dignity and aloofness with no trace of plainness or coarseness. He has a straight front, proudly carried head, eyes gazing into the distance as if in memory of ages past. The striking characteristics of the breed-exotic, or "Eastern," expression, long silky topknot, peculiar coat pattern, very prominent hipbones, large feet, and the impression of a somewhat exaggerated bend in the stifle due to profuse trouserings-stand out clearly, giving the Afghan Hound the appearance of what he is, a king of dogs, that has held true to tradition throughout the ages.

The head is of good length, showing much refinement, the skull evenly balanced with the foreface. There is a slight prominence of the nasal bone structure causing a slightly Roman appearance, the center line running up over the foreface with little or no stop, falling away in front of the eyes so there is an absolutely clear outlook with no interference; the underjaw showing great strength, the jaws long and punishing; the mouth level, meaning that the teeth from the upper jaw and lower jaw match evenly, neither overshot nor undershot. This is a difficult mouth to breed. A scissors bite is even more punishing and can be more easily bred into a dog than a level mouth, and a dog having a scissors bite, where the lower teeth slip inside and rest against the teeth of the upper jaw, should not be penalized. The occipital bone is very prominent. The head is surmounted by a topknot of long silky hair. Ears-The ears are long, set approximately on level with outer corners of the eyes, the leather of the ear reaching nearly to the end of the dog's nose, and covered with long silky hair. Eyes-The eyes are almond-shaped (almost triangular), never full or bulgy, and are dark in color. Nose-Nose is of good size, black in color. Faults-Coarseness; snipiness; overshot or undershot; eyes round or bulgy or light in color; exaggerated Roman nose; head not surmounted with topknot.

Neck: The neck is of good length, strong and arched, running in a curve to the shoulders which are long and sloping and well laid back. Faults-Neck too short or too thick; a ewe neck; a goose neck; a neck lacking in substance.

Body: The back line appearing practically level from the shoulders to the loin. Strong and powerful loin and slightly arched, falling away toward the stern, with the hipbones very pronounced; well ribbed and tucked up in flanks. The height at the shoulders equals the distance from the chest to the buttocks; the brisket well let down, and of medium width. Faults-Roach back, swayback, goose rump, slack loin; lack of prominence of hipbones; too much width of brisket, causing interference with elbows.

The tail set is not too high on the body, having a ring, or a curve on the end; should never be curled over, or rest on the back, or be carried sideways; and should never be bushy.

Forelegs are straight and strong with great length between elbow and pastern; elbows well held in; forefeet large in both length and width; toes well arched; feet covered with long thick hair; fine in texture; pasterns long and straight; pads of feet unusually large and well down on the ground. Shoulders have plenty of angulation so that the legs are well set underneath the dog. Too much straightness of shoulder causes the dog to break down in the pasterns, and this is a serious fault. All four feet of the Afghan Hound are in line with the body, turning either in nor out. The hind feet are broad and of good length; the toes arched, and covered with long thick hair; hindquarters powerful and well muscled, with great length between hip and hock; hocks are well let down; good angulation of both stifle and hock; slightly bowed from hock to crotch. Faults-Front or back feet thrown outward or inward; pads of feet not thick enough; or feet too small; or any other evidence of weakness in feet; weak or broken down pasterns; too straight in stifle; too long in hock.

Hindquarters, flanks, ribs, forequarters, and legs well covered with thick, silky hair, very fine in texture; ears and all four feet well feathered; from in front of the shoulders; and also backwards from the shoulders along the saddle from the flanks and the ribs upwards, the hair is short and close, forming a smooth back in mature dogs - this is a traditional characteristic of the Afghan Hound. The Afghan Hound should be shown in its natural state; the coat is not clipped or trimmed; the head is surmounted (in the full sense of the word) with a topknot of long, silky hair - that is also an outstanding characteristic of the Afghan Hound. Showing of short hair on cuffs on either front or back legs is permissible. Fault-Lack of shorthaired saddle in mature dogs.

Afghan HoundCare

Good nutrition for Afghan Hounds is very important from puppyhood to their senior years.

This magnificent coat will require frequent baths and thorough grooming.

Afghan Hounds require a great deal of exercise.

Seek a veterinarian who is familiar with sighthounds and their specific needs such as sensitivities with anesthesia.

Hunde zur Vermittlung: Afghanen in Not

oder telefonisch unter 08721 / 508930

Afghanischer Windhund

CC ist geschoren, da er bisher immer mit der BegrГјndung, man wolle die viele Haarpflege nicht machen, nicht vermittelt werden konnte. Er hat immer schon ein Ohrenproblem, mal mehr mal weniger, und muss daher regelmГ¤Гџig sorgfГ¤ltig gepflegt werden.

Er eignet sich nicht zur Haltung in einer Etagenwohnung. Ideal wГ¤re der freie Zugang zu einem windhundsicheren Garten.

Wer vor hat, einen Afghanen frei laufen zu lassen, mГ¶ge von einer Bewerbung fГјr diese Hunde absehen.

If it is intended to let Booboo or any other of our Afghans run free and off the leash, please refrain from applying.

Afghanischer Windhund

Wir wГјnschen uns fГјr Shari einen afghanenerfahrenen Platz, wo er wieder die Zuneigung erfГ¤hrt, die er frГјher hatte. Er eignet sich nicht fГјr einen Haushalt mit mehreren Hunden und kennt auch keine Katzen.

Afghanischer Windhund

Remo braucht einen freien, direkten Zugang zu einem hundesicheren Garten. Wir vermitteln Remo nicht in Etagenwohnungen. Auch vom Futter her muss sich an eine genaue DiГ¤t gehalten werden.

Remo hat sehr viel Fell. Wir geben diesen Hund nur an Kenner dieser Rasse ab, die wissen, wie ein Afghane mit sehr viel Haar gepflegt werden muss (Trimmtisch und StandfГ¶n sind unerlГ¤sslich).

Remo bleibt gerne auch ein paar Stunden allein. Er versteht sich nicht mit anderen RГјden. Wir wГјnschen uns einen Haushalt ohne kleine Kinder und ohne Katzen.

Wer vor hat, Remo oder einen unserer sonstigen Afghanen jemals frei laufen zu lassen, mГ¶ge von einer Bewerbung fГјr diesen Hund absehen.

Afghanischer Windhund

Wir geben Amanda nur in einen ruhigen Haushalt ab, wo sie ungehinderten Zugang zu einem windhundesicher eingezГ¤unten Garten hat. Erfahrungen mit dieser Rasse sind Voraussetzung, Amanda eignet sich nicht fГјr AnfГ¤nger.

Afghanischer Windhund

Wir geben Cliff nur in einen Haushalt ohne kleine Kinder oder andere RГјden ab, allerdings mit der Ambition, diesen Hund in dem Pflegezustand zu halten, in dem er jetzt ist. Erfahrung mit dieser Rasse ist unerlГ¤sslich, ebenso ideale Haltungsvoraussetzungen, wie z.B. der freie Zugang zu einem windhundsicher eingezГ¤unten groГџen Garten. Wir vermitteln nicht an ganztags BerufstГ¤tige, Cliff ist auch kein BГјrohund.

Wer vor hat, diesen Hund jemals frei laufen zu lassen, mГ¶ge von einer Bewerbung absehen.

If it is intended to let Cliff or any other Afghans run free and off the leash, please refrain from applying.

Afghanischer Windhund

Calu, dafГјr werden wir sorgen, wird nie wieder irgend ein Leid geschehen. Sein Leben wird eines in Luxus werden, bei Menschen, die ihn lieben – so wie er ist.

Wer uns fГјr Calu helfen mГ¶chte, findet auf allen unseren Seiten die Kontonummer unseres Vereins bzw. Paypal MГ¶glichkeit.

Afghanischer Windhund

Dieser Hund wГ¤re in einem Monat so verfilzt und verdreckt, daГџ er mit keinem Mittel mehr durchzubГјrsten wГ¤re. Diese Disziplin gilt, will man so einem Hund seine SchГ¶nheit erhalten, auch fГјr die Auswahl der Spazierwege. Ein Hund wie Louis kann nicht durch's GebГјsch und hohes Gras (was er auch gar nicht will). Er spaziert genau so gerne auf sauberem Untergrund ohne Г„ste und PfГјtzen. Es gibt vielerlei MГ¶glichkeiten, ihn auch laufen zu lassen (z.B. beim Training auf einer der Rennbahnen der Rennvereine oder auf einem eingezГ¤unten Sportplatz usw.).

Das dГјmmste Argument ist dann, man wГјrde ihn halt einfach abscheren. Wozu dann eigentlich einen Langhaarhund? So viele zauberhafte Galgos, Greyhounds usw. suchen ein Zuhause. Da reicht ein feuchtes Handtuch und man ist in 5 Minuten fertig.

Louis macht mittlerweile seine Coursing-Lizenz und wurde auch zum ersten Mal auf einer Ausstellung des DWZRV, nachdem er eingetragen wurde, mit Erfolg ausgestellt. Er erhielt V 2 in der Offenen Klasse. Louis hat jederzeit Chancen, SchГ¶nheit und Leistung zu gewinnen.

Fazit: Wir suchen die echten, eingefleischten Afghanenleute, die wissen, welche Aufgaben und Verantwortung man mit diesen Hunden Гјbernimmt. Wer seinen ersten Afghanen sucht und somit AnfГ¤nger in dieser Rasse ist, fГјr den ist Louis nicht geeignet.

Grooming once a week is indispensible with professional equipment.

As Louis gets impressed deeply by things he is not aware of, there is no chance of letting him run free.

Afghanischer Windhund

There is no way to let Jeff and Filly run free.

Er ist komplett abgeschoren, da er total verwahrlost war. Dies hat aber auch den Vorteil, dass man mit der Pflege von Grund auf neu beginnen kann. Er wurde mit Sicherheit in dieser Hinsicht nicht richtig behandelt.

Wer vor hat, einen Afghanen frei laufen zu lassen, mГ¶ge von einer Bewerbung fГјr unsere Hunde absehen.

If it is intended to let Nino or any other of our Afghans run free and off the leash, please refrain from applying.

Wir suchen fГјr ihn einen 1-Hund-Haushalt. Keine kleinen Kinder, keine anderen Hunde, keine Katzen. Er allein muГџ jetzt im Mittelpunkt stehen. Es muГџ ein freier Zugang zu einem sicher eingezГ¤unten Garten vorhanden sein.

Wer vor hat, einen Afghanen frei laufen zu lassen, mГ¶ge von einer Bewerbung fГјr unsere Hunde absehen.

If it is intended to let James or any other Afghans run free and off the leash, please refrain from applying.

Abgemagert bis auf das Skelett und dehydriert haben er und seine Kollegen jetzt nur ein Ziel: essen, essen, essen, trinken, schlafen. Mitten unter dem Spaziergang will er sofort nach Hause.

My feedback

Put on the computer what the public asks for, not everything about the US.

I asked for a total medal count. I have been looking for 20 minutes and still cannot find it.

I also asked for a specific medal count for a specific country and got a history of when they first started to compete in the Olympics. I asked for a medal count for 2018, as of today,

not a history of that country.

You don't even accept what I have asked.

Afghanischer Windhund

Wesen und Charakter

Der Afghanische Windhund ist ein stolzer, mutiger und sensibler Hund, der sich ein hohes Maß an Selbstständigkeit bewahrt hat. Diese Eigenschaften machen seine Erziehung zuweilen etwas schwieriger, jedoch nicht unmöglich. Er zeichnet sich durch eine absolute innerliche Ruhe aus, ist aber trotzdem ein leidenschaftlicher Jagdhund. Dies sollte auch bei Spaziergängen in wildreichen Gebieten beachtet werden.

Wissenswertes über die Ernährung des Afghanischen Windhundes

Kennen Sie den Nährstoffbedarf Ihres Afghanischen Windhundes? Dieser hängt von 9 ernährungsrelevanten Faktoren ab. Dazu gehören unter anderem das Alter, Gewicht, die Größe und Aktivität, der Gesundheitszustand und Allergien.

Aktivitäten mit dem Afghanischen Windhund

In seiner Heimat wurde der Afghanische Windhund früher ausschließlich für die Jagd eingesetzt, um das Überleben der Nomaden zu sichern. Gelegentlich findet er auch heutzutage noch bei der Jagd Verwendung, aber die Funktion als Begleithund für Liebhaber der Rasse rückt immer mehr in den Vordergrund. Durch seinen ausgeprägten Jagdtrieb muss viel Arbeit investiert werden, um auch einen Afghanischen Windhund ohne Leine laufen lassen zu können. Es ist allerdings möglich, ihn mit gezieltem Lauftraining wie Hunderennen oder Coursing auszulasten, auch wenn man hierbei die mitunter hohe Verletzungsgefahr beachten muss. Ansonsten begleitet er seinen Besitzer auch gerne bei sportlichen Aktivitäten wie Joggen oder Radfahren.

Geeignete Sportarten für den Afghanischen Windhund

Herkunft & Geschichte

Der Afghanische Windhund ist eine sehr alte Rasse, die aus dem Hochland des Hindukusch stammt. Seine Vorfahren wurden bereits 4000 v. Chr. von afghanischen Nomaden gezüchtet. In ihrem Heimatland wurde diese Rasse hoch geschätzt und als eine Art Kostbarkeit angesehen, das beruht vor allem darauf, dass die Afghanischen Windhunde als Jagdhunde das Überleben der Nomaden in den kargen Berglandschaften sicherten. Erste Exemplare wurden von britischen Soldaten nach Europa geschmuggelt, wo der Typ des Bergafghanen 1925 als offizielle Rasse anerkannt wurde. Ab diesem Zeitpunkt zeichnete sich eine Entwicklung vom reinen Jagdhund zum Ausstellungstier ab, die sich auch in den Änderungen des Standards widerspiegelte.

Afghanischer Windhund Rassemerkmale

Der größte kynologische Dachverband FCI (Fédération Cynologique Internationale) kategorisiert den Afghanischen Windhund in der Gruppe 10 "Windhunde", Sektion 1 "Langhaarige oder befederte Windhunde". Gemäß diesen Standards liegt die ideale Widerristhöhe eines ausgewachsenen Rüden bei 68 bis 74 cm und die einer Hündin bei 63 bis 69 cm. Ein Idealgewicht wird vom Standard nicht vorgegeben, dies liegt aber in der Regel bei 15 bis 34 kg.

Die Vorderhand ist von der Schulter ab lang und schräg. Die Schultern sind gut bemuskelt, dürfen aber in keinster Weise überladen wirken. Der Ellenbogen steht von der Seite betrachtet direkt unter dem Widerrist und liegt dicht am Brustkorb an. Die Vorderpfoten sind stark ausgebildet und in der Länge sowie Breite sehr groß. Sie sind mit dichten, langen Haaren bedeckt und die Zehen weisen eine gute Wölbung auf.

FCI Gruppe 10, Sektion 1:langhaarige Windhunde

Geschichte

Die Geschichte des Afghanischen Windhundes ist nicht genau bekannt. Man vermutet, dass er von Salukis abstammt, die mit Kaufleuten vor über 2000 Jahren von Persien nach Afghanistan kamen. Das rauhe Klima in Afghanistan begünstigte die Herausbildung des dichten, langen Haarkleides.

Genutzt wurde der Windhund für die Jagd auf Schakale, Gazellen und anderes großes, schnelles Wild. Er folgt dem Wild eigenständig, ohne enge Zusammenarbeit mit den menschlichen Jägern. So zeichnen ihn große Ausdauer, viel Jagdtrieb auf Sicht und Robustheit aus.

In Afghanistan gibt es den kräftigeren, stärker behaarten Typ, der zur Jagd im Gebirge eingesetzt wurde und den schmaleren, schnelleren und weniger behaarten Typ, der mehr dem Saluki ähnelt, und zur Jagd in der Steppe genutzt wurde. Gezüchtet wurde nach Leistung, weniger nach dem Äußeren. Da der Windhund eine wichtige Rolle bei der Ernährung der Familie spielte, wurde er meist hoch geschätzt, im Gegensatz zu den im arabischen Raum eher verachteten restlichen Hunderassen.

Erst um 1900 kamen die ersten Afghanischen Windhunde mit britischen Soldaten nach Europa. Schnell fand der Afghane durch sein edles Aussehen Anhänger und wurde zum Statussymbol für Wohlhabende und den Adel. Einige Legenden trugen zu seinem Ansehen bei. So erzählt man, dass Afghanen auf Noah`s Arche die Sintflut überlebten. Zur Zucht in Europa wurde sowohl der Gebirgs- als auch der Flachlandtyp verwendet und miteinander gekreuzt. Zu Beginn der Zucht in England gab es nur wenige Vertreter der Rasse, so musste mit dem gezüchtet werden, was jeweils verfügbar war. Durchgesetzt hat sich schließlich der langhaarige Bergtyp. 1926 wurde die Rasse in England und in den USA offiziell anerkannt.

Noch heute ist der Afghane durch sein unabhängiges Wesen, seine Größe und seinen starken Jagdtrieb kein Hund für Jedermann. Dennoch ist er der beliebteste unter den Windhunden. Gehalten wird er hauptsächlich als Renn- oder Ausstellungshund, weniger als reiner Familienhund. Vor allem in den USA geht der Trend in Richtung immer üppigeren und längeren Fells, für Hunderennen sind diese Afghanen jedoch kaum noch geeignet.

Verhalten und Wesen

Durch seine ursprüngliche Verwendung als Einzeljäger, bringt der Afghane viel Eigenständigkeit mit, die eine Erziehung zum Gehorsam nicht immer einfach macht. Die Grundregeln des Zusammenlebens und ein gewisser Grundgehorsam können ihm durch viel liebevolle, geduldige Konsequenz dennoch beigebracht werden. Zumindest so lange sich die Wünsche seines Besitzers in etwa mit seinen eigenen decken und nichts wichtigeres seine Aufmerksamkeit einnimmt. In erster Linie ist dabei Wild zu nennen oder auch Nachbars Katze. Freilauf ist kaum möglich, da der Afghane bei Jagdreizen, oder auch aus reiner Lauflust, auf und davon ist. Er hat kein Problem damit, sich dabei über längere Zeit außer Sicht- und Rufweite seines Besitzers aufzuhalten. Mittels Gewalt wird man bei einem Afghanen nichts daran ändern können, es sei denn, man strebt einen gebrochenen Hund an, der nichts mehr von der Lebenslust und dem Stolz des Afghanen inne hat. Afghanen sind eher sensibel, so dass sie über Härte generell nicht ausbildbar sind, sondern eher misstrauisch und scheu werden.

Im Haus ist der Afghane windhundtypisch unaufdringlich, sanft und ruhig. Menschen gegenüber ist er eher zurückhaltend, bei Fremden mitunter auch wachsam, aber ohne Schutztrieb. Er prägt sich fest ein, wer es gut und wer es schlecht mit ihm meint. Bellen hört man ihn nur selten. Auf Spaziergängen ist der Afghane fröhlich, verspielt und neugierig und gerne überall mit dabei.

Haltung und Pflege

Der Afghane ist ein Liebhaberhund für Menschen, die sein unabhängiges, stolzes Wesen schätzen, ihm auch ohne Freilauf auf Spaziergängen genügend Bewegung verschaffen können und die sehr anspruchsvolle Fellpflege nicht scheuen. Ein „Anfängerhund“ ist er nicht. Trotz des starken Hetztriebes kann der Afghane an andere Haustiere, wie z.B. Wohnungs-Katzen, gewöhnt werden. Außerhalb des Hauses ist Freilauf mit Kleintieren dagegen kaum möglich. Mit vernünftigen Kindern kommt der Afghane in der Regel gut aus. Rückzugsorte sollten akzeptiert werden und selbstverständlich stellt ein Hund kein Kinderspielzeug dar. Da junge Afghanen sehr stürmisch sein können und die Rasse recht groß ist, muss auch dem Afghanen sorgsam beigebracht werden, welches Verhalten Kindern gegenüber angemessen ist.

Ausgesprochen aufwendig ist die Pflege des Haarkleides. Wenn man nicht bereit ist, mehrere Stunden pro Woche in die Fellpflege zu investieren, sollte man von der Anschaffung eines Afghanen absehen. Nach jedem Spaziergang müssen vorsichtig Blätter, kleine Fellknötchen und Ästchen aus dem Fell entfernt werden. Mindestens einmal die Woche sollte der Afghane gründlich durchgebürstet werden. Dies ist recht aufwendig, da das Fell lagenweise gebürstet wird und Knoten und Verfilzungen vorsichtig von Hand gelöst werden sollten. Etwa alle 3 Wochen steht ein Bad mit anschließender Spülung an. Dies erleichtert auch das anschließende Bürsten. Das Fell darf dabei keinesfalls trocken gerubbelt werden, ein Föhn ist hilfreich. Das Fell muss allgemein sehr vorsichtig gebürstet werden, sonst reißt man zu viele Haare aus. An diese Prozedur gewöhnt man am besten schon den ganz jungen Hund, damit er es später anstandslos hinnimmt. Das Fell an Hals und Rücken wird gezupft, nicht geschoren. Die Ohren sollten regelmäßig kontrolliert und bei Bedarf gesäubert werden. Beim Fressen empfiehlt es sich, die Ohren mit so genannten Snoots (Hauben) zu schützen. Die Ohren hängen sonst ins Futter, so dass das Fell schmutzig wird und verklebt. Bei unzureichender Pflege verfilzt das Fell rasch und ist dann kaum noch zu retten. Ein gut gepflegter Afghane dagegen hat, neben dem wunderschönen Fell, kaum Hundegeruch und verliert auch nur wenig Haare.

Collie

The Collie dog breed is a native of Scotland, mostly of the Highland regions but also bred in the Scottish Lowlands and northern England, where she was used primarily as a herding dog. She is a sensitive and intelligent dog, known for her undying loyalty and amazing ability to foresee her owner’s needs. She is a great family companion, and is still a capable herding dog.

See below for complete Collie characteristics!

Breed Characteristics:

Contrary to popular belief, small size doesn't necessarily an apartment dog make — plenty of small dogs are too high-energy and yappy for life in a high-rise. Being quiet, low energy, fairly calm indoors, and polite with the other residents, are all good qualities in an apartment dog.

Some dogs are simply easier than others: they take to training better and are fairly easygoing. They're also resilient enough to bounce back from your mistakes or inconsistencies. Dogs who are highly sensitive, independent thinking, or assertive may be harder for a first-time owner to manage. You'll get your best match if you take your dog-owning experience into account as you choose your new pooch.

Some dogs will let a stern reprimand roll off their backs, while others take even a dirty look to heart. Low-sensitivity dogs, also called "easygoing," "tolerant," "resilient," and even "thick-skinned," can better handle a noisy, chaotic household, a louder or more assertive owner, and an inconsistent or variable routine. Do you have young kids, throw lots of dinner parties, play in a garage band, or lead a hectic life? Go with a low-sensitivity dog.

Some breeds bond very closely with their family and are more prone to worry or even panic when left alone by their owner. An anxious dog can be very destructive, barking, whining, chewing, and otherwise causing mayhem. These breeds do best when a family member is home during the day or if you can take the dog to work.

Breeds with very short coats and little or no undercoat or body fat, such as Greyhounds, are vulnerable to the cold. Dogs with a low cold tolerance need to live inside in cool climates and should have a jacket or sweater for chilly walks.

Dogs with thick, double coats are more vulnerable to overheating. So are breeds with short noses, like Bulldogs or Pugs, since they can't pant as well to cool themselves off. If you want a heat-sensitive breed, the dog will need to stay indoors with you on warm or humid days, and you'll need to be extra cautious about exercising your dog in the heat.

Some breeds are independent and aloof, even if they've been raised by the same person since puppyhood; others bond closely to one person and are indifferent to everyone else; and some shower the whole family with affection. Breed isn't the only factor that goes into affection levels; dogs who were raised inside a home with people around feel more comfortable with humans and bond more easily.

Being gentle with children, sturdy enough to handle the heavy-handed pets and hugs they can dish out, and having a blasé attitude toward running, screaming children are all traits that make a kid-friendly dog. You may be surprised by who's on that list: Fierce-looking Boxers are considered good with children, as are American Staffordshire Terriers (aka pit bulls). Small, delicate, and potentially snappy dogs such as Chihuahuas aren't so family-friendly.

**All dogs are individuals. Our ratings are generalizations, and they're not a guarantee of how any breed or individual dog will behave. Dogs from any breed can be good with children based on their past experiences, training on how to get along with kids, and personality. No matter what the breed or breed type, all dogs have strong jaws, sharp pointy teeth, and may bite in stressful circumstances. Young children and dogs of any breed should always be supervised by an adult and never left alone together, period.

Friendliness toward dogs and friendliness toward humans are two completely different things. Some dogs may attack or try to dominate other dogs even if they're love-bugs with people; others would rather play than fight; and some will turn tail and run. Breed isn't the only factor; dogs who lived with their littermates and mother until at least 6 to 8 weeks of age, and who spent lots of time playing with other dogs during puppyhood, are more likely to have good canine social skills.

Stranger-friendly dogs will greet guests with a wagging tail and a nuzzle; others are shy, indifferent, or even aggressive. However, no matter what the breed, a dog who was exposed to lots of different types, ages, sizes, and shapes of people as a puppy will respond better to strangers as an adult.

If you're going to share your home with a dog, you'll need to deal with some level of dog hair on your clothes and in your house. However, shedding does vary greatly among the breeds: Some dogs shed year-round, some "blow" seasonally -- produce a snowstorm of loose hair -- some do both, and some shed hardly at all. If you're a neatnik you'll need to either pick a low-shedding breed, or relax your standards.

Drool-prone dogs may drape ropes of slobber on your arm and leave big, wet spots on your clothes when they come over to say hello. If you've got a laid-back attitude toward slobber, fine; but if you're a neatnik, you may want to choose a dog who rates low in the drool department.

Some breeds are brush-and-go dogs; others require regular bathing, clipping, and other grooming just to stay clean and healthy. Consider whether you have the time and patience for a dog that needs a lot of grooming, or the money to pay someone else to do it.

Due to poor breeding practices, some breeds are prone to certain genetic health problems, such as hip dysplasia. This doesn't mean that every dog of that breed will develop those diseases; it just means that they're at an increased risk. If you're buying a puppy, it's a good idea to find out which genetic illnesses are common to the breed you're interested in, so you can ask the breeder about the physical health of your potential pup's parents and other relatives.

Some breeds have hearty appetites and tend to put on weight easily. As in humans, being overweight can cause health problems in dogs. If you pick a breed that's prone to packing on pounds, you'll need to limit treats, make sure he gets enough exercise, and measure out his daily kibble in regular meals rather than leaving food out all the time.

Dogs come in all sizes, from the world's smallest pooch, the Chihuahua, to the towering Great Dane, how much space a dog takes up is a key factor in deciding if he is compatible with you and your living space. Large dog breeds might seem overpowering and intimidating but some of them are incredibly sweet! Take a look and find the right large dog for you!

Easy to train dogs are more adept at forming an association between a prompt (such as the word "sit"), an action (sitting), and a consequence (getting a treat) very quickly. Other dogs need more time, patience, and repetition during training. Many breeds are intelligent but approach training with a "What's in it for me?" attitude, in which case you'll need to use rewards and games to teach them to want to comply with your requests.

Dogs who were bred for jobs that require decision making, intelligence, and concentration, such as herding livestock, need to exercise their brains, just as dogs who were bred to run all day need to exercise their bodies. If they don't get the mental stimulation they need, they'll make their own work -- usually with projects you won't like, such as digging and chewing. Obedience training and interactive dog toys are good ways to give a dog a brain workout, as are dog sports and careers, such as agility and search and rescue.

Common in most breeds during puppyhood and in retriever breeds at all ages, mouthiness means a tendency to nip, chew, and play-bite (a soft, fairly painless bite that doesn't puncture the skin). Mouthy dogs are more likely to use their mouths to hold or "herd" their human family members, and they need training to learn that it's fine to gnaw on chew toys, but not on people. Mouthy breeds tend to really enjoy a game of fetch, as well as a good chew on a chew toy that's been stuffed with kibble and treats.

Some breeds sound off more often than others. When choosing a breed, think about how the dog vocalizes — with barks or howls — and how often. If you're considering a hound, would you find their trademark howls musical or maddening? If you're considering a watchdog, will a city full of suspicious "strangers" put him on permanent alert? Will the local wildlife literally drive your dog wild? Do you live in housing with noise restrictions? Do you have neighbors nearby?

Some breeds are more free-spirited than others. Nordic dogs such as Siberian Huskies were bred to range long distances, and given the chance, they'll take off after anything that catches their interest. And many hounds simply must follow their noses, or that bunny that just ran across the path, even if it means leaving you behind.

High-energy dogs are always ready and waiting for action. Originally bred to perform a canine job of some sort, such as retrieving game for hunters or herding livestock, they have the stamina to put in a full workday. They need a significant amount of exercise and mental stimulation, and they're more likely to spend time jumping, playing, and investigating any new sights and smells. Low-energy dogs are the canine equivalent of a couch potato, content to doze the day away. When picking a breed, consider your own activity level and lifestyle, and think about whether you'll find a frisky, energetic dog invigorating or annoying.

A vigorous dog may or may not be high-energy, but everything he does, he does with vigor: he strains on the leash (until you train him not to), tries to plow through obstacles, and even eats and drinks with great big gulps. These dynamos need lots of training to learn good manners, and may not be the best fit for a home with young kids or someone who's elderly or frail. A low-vigor dog, on the other hand, has a more subdued approach to life.

Some breeds do fine with a slow evening stroll around the block. Others need daily, vigorous exercise -- especially those that were originally bred for physically demanding jobs, such as herding or hunting. Without enough exercise, these breeds may put on weight and vent their pent-up energy in ways you don't like, such as barking, chewing, and digging. Breeds that need a lot of exercise are good for outdoorsy, active people, or those interested in training their dog to compete in a high-energy dog sport, such as agility.

Some dogs are perpetual puppies -- always begging for a game -- while others are more serious and sedate. Although a playful pup sounds endearing, consider how many games of fetch or tag you want to play each day, and whether you have kids or other dogs who can stand in as playmates for the dog.

In the 1950s television series Lassie, you knew that the Collie would come to the rescue, whether Timmy was trapped in an abandoned mine or had fallen into a well. After all, the star of this long-running show wasn't just any dog. She was Lassie, a Collie dog.

To be sure, the adventures of Timmy and Lassie are fun to watch. But they're fiction — aren't they?

Well, according to those who know and love the Collie breed, the fictional accounts of television Lassie aren't too far off the mark. The real-life Collie is an extremely intelligent, sensitive dog who is known for her uncanny ability to know when something is wrong. True stories abound about this breed coming to the rescue of people and animals.

Heroics aside, the Collie is a medium-size (50 to 70 pounds) dog, easy to train, devoted to and protective of her family, and friendly with people outside the family circle as well. Known for being playful and gentle, she makes an excellent companion for children.

Although the Collie is good-natured and friendly, she can be suspicious of strangers, especially if they approach the children in her family. She's a good watchdog — she will bark — but she is not aggressive.

The beautiful Collie has two distinct looks: full coat (known as the Rough variety) and short coat (known as the Smooth variety). The television star was a Rough Collie, as was the star of the 1943 movie Lassie Come Home, which inspired the television series.

Today, the Collie is more likely to be a pampered pet than an all-around farm dog. She adapts well to a variety of home environments, as long as she has plenty of daily exercise. She enjoys relaxing around the house with her family, as well as running and playing outside with the kids. Her herding instincts are still strong, so it's not unusual for the Collie to gather children and pets, chase cars, and bark.

In addition to her herding ability, the loyal Collie excels as an assistance or therapy dog. She also does well at such canine sports as herding trials, agility, obedience, and lure coursing.

The movie and the television series made the Collie a popular dog in the United States. Unfortunately, her extreme popularity leaves her open to the bane of all favorite breeds: unscrupulous people who breed with no regard for temperament, health, or conformation.

As a result, some Collies have serious health and temperament problems. If you are considering a Collie, you must be extremely careful from whom you purchase or adopt a puppy. Buy only from a reputable breeder. Never buy a puppy from an irresponsible breeder, puppy mill, or pet store. Reputable breeders breed with temperament in mind and perform various health tests to ensure that their breeding dogs don't pass on a predisposition to genetic diseases.

Highlights

The Collie is usually quiet unless she has a reason to bark. However, if she is left alone too often or if she is bored, she will bark excessively.
Both varieties need grooming, but the Rough Collie especially needs regular brushing to keep her coat clean and free of tangles.
Many Collies are sensitive to medications including ivermectin, the drug used in heartworm preventives. Be sure to talk with your veterinarian before giving your Collie a heartworm preventive or any other drug.
Be careful from whom you acquire a Collie. The Collie's popularity has given rise to unethical breeders acting with no regard for temperament, health, or conformation. To get a healthy dog, never buy a puppy from an irresponsible breeder, puppy mill, or pet store. Look for a reputable breeder who tests her breeding dogs to make sure they're free of genetic diseases that they might pass onto the puppies, and that they have sound temperaments.

The Collie is a native of Scotland, primarily from the Highland regions. She has been called Collis, Colley, Coally, and Coaly, names that probably derive from col or coll, the Anglo-Saxon word for black. Some historians think, however, that the name comes from the colley, the Scottish black-faced sheep, that the Collie dog used to guard.

Original Collies were closer in size and shape to today's Border Collies, and they were predominantly black. Herding ability was more important than appearance, so the dogs varied a great deal in looks.

Stone Age nomads brought dogs to what is now Southern England, and from these came a hardy, intelligent dog used to herd sheep, cattle, goats, and pigs. Some historians say that the Collie's particular ancestors were brought to the British Isles by Roman conquerors, some two thousand years ago.

Queen Victoria is credited with saving Collies from obscurity. In 1860, she visited her Scotland estate and fell in love with the good looks and gentle temperament of the Collies she saw. She brought some back to England, and thus began the first Collie fad.

It wasn't long before the dogs were shown and bred for good looks rather than working ability. They first were exhibited in 1860 at a dog show in Birmingham, England, in the generic class known as "Scotch Sheep-Dogs."

One Collie, named Old Cockie, who was born in 1867, is credited with the characteristic type of the Rough Collie known today, and she is believed to be responsible for introducing sable coat color to the breed.

In 1879, the first Collie was imported to the United States. The Collie Club of America was formed on August 26, 1886, which makes it one of the oldest canine specialty clubs.

Males stand 24 to 26 inches tall; females are 22 to 24 inches tall. Collies weigh 50 to 70 pounds.

Personality

The well-bred Collie is sweet, friendly, and gentle. She is a family dog and enjoys being part of all household activities. Especially fond of kids, she enjoys playing with them and protectively watching over them.

If those qualities weren't positive enough, the Collie tops them with her intelligence and loyalty. This dog is smart and learns quickly.

And her devotion? She would probably swim through shark-infested waters to save her owner (just like Lassie).

Temperament is affected by a number of factors, including heredity, training, and socialization. Puppies with nice temperaments are curious and playful, willing to approach people and be held by them. Choose the middle-of-the-road puppy, not the one who's beating up his littermates or the one who's hiding in the corner.

Always meet at least one of the parents — usually the mother is the one who's available — to ensure that they have nice temperaments that you're comfortable with. Meeting siblings or other relatives of the parents is also helpful for evaluating what a puppy will be like when he grows up.

Like every dog, the Collie needs early socialization — exposure to many different people, sights, sounds, and experiences — when they're young. Socialization helps ensure that your Collie puppy grows up to be a well-rounded dog.

Enrolling him in a puppy kindergarten class is a great start. Inviting visitors over regularly, and taking him to busy parks, stores that allow dogs, and on leisurely strolls to meet neighbors will also help him polish his social skills.

Collies are generally healthy, but like all breeds, they're prone to certain health conditions. Not all Collies will get any or all of these diseases, but it's important to be aware of them if you're considering this breed.

If you're buying a puppy, find a good breeder who will show you health clearances for both your puppy's parents. Health clearances prove that a dog has been tested for and cleared of a particular condition. In Collies, you should expect to see health clearances from the Orthopedic Foundation for Animals (OFA) for hip dysplasia (with a score of fair or better), elbow dysplasia, hypothyroidism, and von Willebrand's disease; from Auburn University for thrombopathia; and from the Canine Eye Registry Foundation (CERF) certifying that eyes are normal. You can confirm health clearances by checking the OFA web site (offa.org).

Dermatomyositis: An inherited autoimmune skin disorder, this malady causes lesions and muscle problems. Studies indicate that perhaps 70 percent of Collies (both Rough and Smooth) could be carriers. Research currently is being conducted to identify the genes that carry this disease.
Collie Nose: Also known as nasal solar dermatitis, this is a condition in which the skin of nose peels, oozes, and may lose color. If left untreated, it can be painful or develop into cancer. Collie nose is managed by limiting exposure to sunlight, using sunscreen, or tattooing with black ink to protect against harmful rays.
Collie Eye Anomaly: This inherited condition can sometimes lead to blindness. The condition causes changes and abnormalities in the eye. These changes can include choroidal hypoplasia, an abnormal development of the choroid (an inner coat of the eyeball); coloboma, a defect in the optic disc; staphyloma, a thinning of the sclera (the white outer coat of the eyeball); and retinal detachment. Collie eye anomaly usually occurs by the time the dog is two years old. There is no treatment for the condition.
Progressive Retinal atrophy (PRA): This is a family of eye diseases that involves the gradual deterioration of the retina. Early in the disease, dogs become night-blind. As the disease progresses, they also lose their daytime vision. Many dogs adapt well to limited or complete vision loss, as long as their surroundings remain the same.
Nodular Granulomatous Episclerokeratitis (NGE): Also called nodular fascitis, fibrous histiocytoma, or Collie granuloma, this condition is thought to be an immune disorder. It eventually causes damage to the cornea. Many Collies with Collie nose also have NGE. Treatment includes anti-inflammatory and/or immunosuppressive medications.
Hip Dysplasia: This is an abnormal formation of the hip socket that can cause pain and lameness. Dogs with hip dysplasia should not be bred. If you're buying a puppy, ask the breeder for proof that the parents have been tested for hip dysplasia and are free of problems.
Allergies: Quite common is dogs, there are three main types of allergies: food allergies, which are treated by eliminating certain foods from the dog's diet; contact allergies, which are caused by a reaction to a topical substance such as bedding, flea powders, dog shampoos, and other chemicals; and inhalant allergies, which are caused by airborne allergens such as pollen, dust, and mildew. Treatment varies according to the cause and may include dietary restrictions, medications, and environmental changes.
Drug Sensitivity: The Collie is known to react to such drugs as ivermectin (found in heartworm control medication), anesthesia, and insecticides. Consult with your veterinarian before giving your Collie any medication or using flea or tick control products.

The Collie lives comfortably in the city or the country, as long as she has enough exercise. A brisk, daily walk and yard play are sufficient. Mostly, she wants to be with her family, meaning she is not a candidate for a backyard lifestyle.

If left alone for too long, she tends to bark excessively. While some barking is normal in this herding breed — that's how she warned the shepherd of wolves — she will bark her head off when she's bored, lonely, or otherwise frustrated. Excessive barking can be avoided by letting the Collie join in all family activities, and by keeping her mentally challenged with ongoing obedience training or dog sports.

Training the Collie is a breeze, but — like any dog — she needs early socialization to prevent her from becoming timid. She also benefits from obedience training; a "Quiet" command should be a part of every Collie's training program.

Recommended daily amount: 2 to 3 cups of high-quality dry food a day, divided into two meals.

NOTE: How much your adult dog eats depends on his size, age, build, metabolism, and activity level. Dogs are individuals, just like people, and they don't all need the same amount of food. It almost goes without saying that a highly active dog will need more than a couch potato dog. The quality of dog food you buy also makes a difference — the better the dog food, the further it will go toward nourishing your dog and the less of it you'll need to shake into your dog's bowl.

Coat Color And Grooming

The Collie has two coat types: Rough (long hair) and Smooth (short hair). The Rough Collie has an abundant, straight outer coat that is harsh to the touch, and a soft, furry undercoat that is so thick it's difficult to see the skin when you part the hair. The Smooth Collie has a short, dense, flat outer coat with a thick undercoat. Both varieties shed moderately.

The Collie comes in four colors: sable (think Lassie), tricolor (black with white markings and tan shadings), blue merle (silvery blue and black), and white (predominately white with markings).

The amount of grooming necessary for the Collie depends on the variety. Overall, the Collie is a clean dog, with minimal doggie odor. The long, full coat of the Rough Collie needs thorough brushing twice a week (even more frequently to keep her looking Lassie-like). Brushing once a week is sufficient for the Smooth Collie.

Bathe as needed, usually every six to eight weeks. Many owners opt to pay a professional groomer to brush and bathe their Collie, especially the Rough variety, because the coat is so thick. Novice owners may find brushing challenging, though practice and instruction from a Collie breeder or skilled groomer can keep this from becoming a discouraging chore.

Trim the Collie's nails once a month, and check the ears once a week for dirt, redness, or a bad odor that can indicate an infection. Also wipe them out weekly with a cotton ball dampened with gentle, pH-balanced ear cleaner to prevent problems.

Brush your Collie's teeth at least two or three times a week to remove tartar buildup and the bacteria that lurk inside it. Daily brushing is even better if you want to prevent gum disease and bad breath.

Begin accustoming your Collie to being brushed and examined when he's a puppy. Handle his paws frequently — dogs are touchy about their feet — and look inside his mouth. Make grooming a positive experience filled with praise and rewards, and you'll lay the groundwork for easy veterinary exams and other handling when he's an adult.

As you groom, check for sores, rashes, or signs of infection such as redness, tenderness, or inflammation on the skin, in the nose, mouth, and eyes, and on the feet. Eyes should be clear, with no redness or discharge. Your careful weekly exam will help you spot potential health problems early.

Children And Other Pets

The playful Collie is known for her love of children, even those she wasn't raised with. She's highly protective of the kids in her family, watching over them and keeping them safe from danger, just like Lassie did for Timmy.

As with every breed, you should always teach children how to approach and touch dogs, and always supervise any interactions between dogs and young children to prevent any biting or ear or tail pulling on the part of either party. Teach your child never to approach any dog while he's eating or sleeping or to try to take the dog's food away. No dog, no matter how friendly, should ever be left unsupervised with a child.

The Collie is also protective of and gentle with other pets in her family. She's an affectionate, tender guardian, willing to watch over baby rabbits, chicks, or goats.

Rescue Groups

Collies are often purchased without any clear understanding of what goes into owning one. There are many Collies in need of adoption and or fostering. There are a number of rescues that we have not listed. If you don't see a rescue listed for your area, contact the national breed club or a local breed club and they can point you toward a Collie rescue.

CITY OF FORT WORTH PUBLIC HEALTH DEPARTMENT

Epidemiology and Assessment Division

ANIMAL BITE PREVENTION PROGRAM:

The Animal Care and Control Division of the City of Fort Worth Public Health Department investigated 1,105 reported bite incidents between July 1, 2000 and June 30, 2001. Injury ranged in severity from minimal (26.3%) to requiring surgical treatment (1.4%). Most bite injuries were treated with first aid (54.2%), but 106 individuals (9.6%) required stitches. The majority of injuries from animal bites involved the extremities including the arms, legs and hands (72.5%), though 197 individuals (17.8%) received bite injuries to the head and 83 (7.5%) received bite injuries to the trunk.

Slightly more bite victims were male (54.6%) than female (45.4%). Most were between the ages of 31 and 60, though the next two largest age groups were 8 to 17 and 1 to 7 years old. Over sixty percent of bite victims were White, although Whites comprise only 45.8% of the Fort Worth population. Other racial/ethnic groups were represented proportionately or in lesser proportions compared to the 2000 Fort Worth population 1 . Age adjustment will be possible with the release of more detailed Census data later in the year.

Almost forty-percent (38.5%) of victims had at least a high school education. More than 45% of bite victims were either the owner or acquainted with the owner of the animal as either family, friend or neighbor. However, in most cases (73.7%), the owner was not present at the time of the incident. The majority of victims (78.6%) did not provoke the animal. Of those individuals who did, the most commonly cited situation was startling or awaking an animal (8.9%).

Most of the animals involved in bite incidents were dogs (82.4%). Cats were indicated in 16.2% of cases and other animals were cited in the remaining 1.4% of cases. Over twice as many male animals were involved in bite cases as females, 51.3% and 22.1% respectively, but animal gender was unknown for 26.6% of reported cases. The age of animal was unknown for the majority of bite incidents (63.3%). For those in which age was known, 32% of animals were 6 or more years old. Owned animals were involved in the majority of cases reported (75.3%), with stray and wild animals accounting for the remaining 24.7%.

Nearly ninety percent (89.2%) of animals involved in bite incidents were not vaccinated against rabies and over ninety-five percent (95.6%) were not licensed with the city. Domestic short haired cats made up the majority of cats involved in bite incidents, while Rottweilers, Shepherds, Retrievers, Chows, and Pit Bulls (as well as mixes of these breeds) were among the top five breeds of dog involved in bite incidents.

Analysis of bite frequency by day of the week indicates that Saturdays had the highest occurrence of animal bites (195), followed by Tuesdays and Fridays with 180 and 162 bites respectively. The graph of bite frequency by month shows an increase in animal bites during the early spring months, peaking in April.

Severe animal bites (resulting in either surgery or stitches) account for 121 of the 1105 reported incidents (11%). The majority of these victims (53.7%) were under 18 years of age and most were male (61.2%). Proportionately, more Whites (66.9%) were the victims of severe animal bites than Hispanics and African Americans, 18.2% and 11.6% respectively. At the time of the incident, the most commonly cited known activities of the victim were playing (15.7%) and walking (10.7%). Other activities identified by victims at the time of the incident included petting and teasing, but the majority (66.1%) of respondents reported engaging in "other" activities. Although the majority of severe bite victims (63.6%) did not report provoking the animal, over one third (36.4%) reported the animal was provoked compared to 19.7% for victims of less serious bites. The most common provocation cited was startling or awakening the animal (13.6%). Though 52.9% of severe bites were sustained to the extremities (hands, arms, legs), 40.5% of these incidents involved a bite to the head.

Most animals involved in severe bite incidents were dogs (96.7%). Of the four cats implicated in severe incidents, three were strays. Almost all of the dogs (94.9%) involved were owned. The two breeds of dog indicated in the most severe bite incidents were Rottweilers and Retrievers. The majority of animals involved in severe bites were male (71.1%). Age of animal was unknown in the majority of cases (52.9%). For the cases where age was known, 61.4% of animals were three years or younger. Again, a very high percentage of animals involved in severe bites were not vaccinated against rabies (84.3%) nor were they licensed with the city (95%).

Information regarding the animal owners is limited due to the owner’s reluctance to participate in the survey activity. However, where gender is known, owners of animals involved in severe bites are almost equally divided between the genders with males accounting for 51.7% of animal owners. Gender was unknown in 50.4% of the cases. Similarly, age was unknown in 58.6% of the cases. In cases where age is known, the majority (74%) of owners were between the ages of 31 and 60. Educational attainment is known in 52% of cases. Owners having completed high school and those completing college each account for 25.4% of the sample, while 4.8% report a grade school education and 44.4% of the sample report "other" educational experience.

Bite incidents were geocoded for use in a geographic information system. Initial geocoding was accomplished utilizing a street file that covers all of Tarrant County since the Animal Control service area extends outside of the city borders. Addresses that were not matched in this file were geocoded against an updated map of streets in the City of Fort Worth. Of the 1105 reported bite incidents, twenty-two addresses could not be mapped. This accounts for only 2% of bite cases.

Thematic mapping of bite frequency by different geographic strata indicates a higher concentration of incidents in the areas immediately south and northwest of the central city in the 76106, 76110, 76119, and 76133 ZIP codes. The second highest frequency stratum of bite incidents contains six ZIP codes: 76105, 76107, 76111, 76112, 76116, and 76137. This is largely consistent with results from the first nine months of the project. Thematic mapping of bites rates calculated by Census tract using 2000 population figures reveals a similar pattern as seen when frequency of bites is mapped by ZIP code. Two of the three high bite rate tracts are within the boundaries of the 76107 and 76119 ZIP codes. Both of these are among the top two strata of ZIP code areas by bite frequency. The third tract identified with a high rate of bites lies mainly within the 76104 ZIP code boundary, though seven of the eight bites reported in this tract are within the 76103 boundary. All of these bites occurred along East Lancaster Avenue and four were reported from the same address. Upon further investigation, this address was found to be that of the Humane Society of North Texas.

Spatial analyses to determine the distributions of more detailed characteristics of bite incidents is ongoing. Maps of bite distributions in two ZIP code areas from the highest frequency stratum (76110 and 76119) have been utilized in the planning of educational interventions targeting potential victims and animal owners. Analyses of bites by species and confinement status have directed the deployment of media resources to address the bite prevention education needs of the area. Post-intervention evaluation of animal bite distribution will be conducted to assess the effectiveness of the program.

Mapping of animal bite incidents has proven useful in presenting data to different segments of the population. Neighborhood associations who have historically been resistant to join in collaborative efforts have supported intervention activities as a result of the visual representation of bite occurrences. Additionally, the local news media has publicized and promotes the project based on the compelling nature of maps displaying the distribution of bites in the community. The capacity to represent spatial data in the medium of a map has proven itself an invaluable tool in visualizing data and making results understandable to the general public.

Tierschutzvorschriften fьr die Hundehaltung. Diese lцsen die "Verordnung

ьber das Halten von Hunden im Freien" von 1974 ab. Unser Mitarbeiter Eric

Sayer sprach mit Anita Hollinger vom Kuseler Tierschutzverein welche

Дnderungen diese neue Vorschriften beinhalten.

Gesetzgebung wurde nicht beachtet, dass ein Hund Zuwendung braucht, um nicht

verhaltensgestцrt und krank zu werden. Wenn jemand frьher sein Tier an einer

Kette hielt, ihm genьgend Futter gab, es aber sonst vernachlдssigte, konnte

nicht belangt werden. Einem Hund ist nach der neuen Verordnung ausreichend

Auslauf im Freien und ausreichend Umgang mit seiner Betreuungsperson zu

gewдhren. Welpen dьrfen erst im Alter von acht Wochen vom Muttertier

getrennt werden. Auch fьr die gewerbsmдЯige Zьchtung wurden stдrkere

Anforderungen vorausgesetzt. Es muss sichergestellt werden, dass jeweils bis

zu zehn Zuchthunde und ihren Welpen eine Betreuungsperson zur Verfьgung

steht, die dafьr notwendigen Kenntnisse und Fдhigkeiten gegenьber der

zustдndigen Behцrde nachgewiesen hat. Auch wurden die Anforderung an das

Halten im Freien, in Rдumen und in Zwingern erhцht. Wie kann ьberprьft und

durchgesetzt werden, dass diese neue Richtlinien auch eingehalten werden ?

In erster Linie ist das Veterinдramt mit Sitz in der Kreisverwaltung

Ansprechpartner. Wir als Tierschutzverein kцnnen nur in leichten Fдllen

beratend den Bьrgern zur Seite stehen. Hдufig geschieht der VerstoЯ auch

einfach aus Unwissenheit, wie ein Tier richtig gehalten werden soll. Manche

reagieren aber auf unsere Einmischung recht barsch und sagen, dies gehe uns

nichts an und sie kцnnten mit ihrem Hund machen, was sie wollten. Welche

Strafen erwarten die Hundehalter, die ihre Tier nicht ordnungsgemдЯ

behandeln? Bei leichteren Vergehen werden BuЯgelder verhдngt. Hдrtere

Strafen gibt es bei schwerer Tierquдlerei. Den Haltern kцnnen auch die Tier

abgenommen werden. Die dabei entstehenden Kosten fьr die Pflege und

Unterbringung mьssen die Besitzer ebenfalls tragen. (Foto: wes)

Ein Bernhardiner-Hund wurde am Mittwoch gegen 15.30 Uhr schwer verletzt auf

einem Acker in Amlach liegend gefunden und zu einem Tierarzt gebracht.

Dieser stellte drei Einschьsse am Hund fest - vermutlich von einem

Kleinkalibergewehr - und erstattete bei der Gendarmerie Lienz Anzeige. Das

Tier verendete trotz einer Notoperation. Die Ermittlungen ergaben, dass der

Bernhardiner am Dienstag gegen 22 Uhr seinem Halter in Amlach entlaufen war.

Wer auf das Tier geschossen hat, ist nicht bekannt. Hinweise erbeten.

AW-Kommentar: das stimmt - die Bдrbel mag keine Hunde - nicht nur sie da oben - und dann schaut wie zerknittert die immer schaut - richjt bцsartig - nix freundlich - garnichts!

Fьr alle Hunde soll gleiches Recht gelten

Nordrhein-Westfalen wohl doch noch einen Erfolg haben: Ein Gesetz soll die

heftig umstrittene Hundeverordnung des Landes ersetzen - und verдndern.

Umweltministerin Bдrbel Hцhn (Grьne) und Innenminister Fritz Behrens (SPD)

reagierten mit ihrer Ankьndigung am Donnerstag auf den Beschluss der

Innenministerkonferenz, die bundesweit unterschiedlichen Regelungen zum

Umgang mit gefдhrlichen Hunden zu harmonisieren, wie in Dьsseldorf

mitgeteilt wurde. Die Innenminister hatten sich auf ihrer am Donnerstag

beendeten Herbsttagung fьr eine Harmonisierung der Lдnderregelungen

ausgesprochen. Das Landesgesetz soll auf Grundlage von Empfehlungen einer

Arbeitsgruppe von Bund und Lдndern entwickelt werden. Danach kцnnten die in

Nordrhein-Westfalen umstrittenen beiden Rasselisten den Angaben des

Innenministeriums zufolge deutlich von 42 auf 14 Hundearten reduziert

werden. Allein die erste Liste der als besonders gefдhrlich geltenden Hunde

wьrde von bisher 13 auf vier Rassen gekьrzt - Pit- bull Terrier, American

dass es um den Schutz von Menschen und nicht um die Aus- grenzung von

Haltern bestimmter Hunderassen gehe. Dies erhцhe die Akzeptanz der Halter,

auf deren Einsicht und Mithilfe es bei allen SchutzmaЯnahmen ankomme. Gegen

die Landeshundeverordnung hatte es in den vergangenen Monaten immer wieder

heftige Proteste gegeben. Zahlreiche Hundehalter waren vor allem gegen die

beiden Rasse-Listen Sturm gelaufen. (ddp)

Deren Bundesgeschдftsfьhrer Wolfgang Dicke hatte in der NP Innenminister Heiner Bartling (SPD) aufgefordert “sofort die seit langem zur Verfьgung stehende Munition einzusetzenі.
