Dogs Domestication

Nowadays there exist around 330 officially breeds for the F.C.I., international organism in which most countries of the world are federated. Dog Kennels Among those that without a doubt have contributed decisively in the conservation of the breeds and their adaptation, the hunters are who have always wanted to have the appropriate companion for each work. Thousands of years of civilization have made what one-day was a vital and imperious necessity to subsist, to become hobby or whim of some; here are some aspects that we will see next. 

In ancient Egypt, dogs played a very important paper in the official acts and ceremonies of the court, in the religious rites they occupied outstanding places and it existed in them something of mystery that located at levels superiors to those of many humans, such it is the case of the god Anubis whose head is represented by what today we know as the Ibizan hound, autochthonous race of Ibiza, and that it comes undoubtedly from Egyptian dogs. If we observe in their context the relationship man-dog, we arrive to the conclusion that it has always been a faithful friend and companion, as example we have the passage of when Ulysses returns home after twenty years of absence and he was only recognized by their dog Argus. 

At the present time, races like the German shepherd, Collie, Boxer and many others, have been prepared to be able to help man in a series of services of a lot of utility and value. The Saint Bernard dog, with their perfect ability to rescue people lost in the snow, it has facilitated locating travelers during many years.

The German shepherd whose father was Max von Steplianitz, around the year 1890 began to appear copies with defined characteristics. The contribution to the improvement of possibilities for the relationship man-dog, it seems to be that it has arrived to a culminating point: the German Shepherd is used as police dog , narcotic dogs, specialist in following criminals' scents, of old men and lost children, etc. In the Red Cross around the world copies of this breed collaborate. The last prepared breed, elaborated by man, to achieve their collaboration in special works, it has been the Eurasier, obtained by the professor Konrad Lorenz, Nobel prize in medicine 1973 who has carried out some extraordinary studies on animal behavior. As it seems Type company dog. In this sector we could classify an enormous variety of crossbreed dogs to those that many breeds have transmitted some characteristic: from the Boxer to the Poodle, from the Dachshund to the Pinscher, from the Cocker to the Maltese. In each case the possible (or impossible) identification depends on the morphological data that it presents each animal. The short paws, the lengthened body, the reddish and flat coat, they mean a relationship with the Dachshund. A solid body, the short muzzle and the black face allow seeing the Boxer. A size thirty to thirty five centimeters and a weight of no more of six kilos, the short hair of reddish color, the vivacity and the happiness will suggest that that dog probably descends of a Pinscher or of the small German Terrier. Helping to achieve some series of works that had been impossible until today conceived by human mind. 

With this brief exhibition, its sought to make understood the transcendental importance that the dog can end up having inside our society, to which has always belonged and perhaps today that is when it is in an evolutionary but advanced phase and it collaborates inside our form institutions more effective, due to our scarce form of living, completely remote of nature and of their unalterable laws, we have forgotten, partly, to which has always aided us during so many millenniums; for that reason, now that we have decided to get one of them to become friend and companion, it is important to remember the mission that has been commended him during so many centuries and that from the time of the Bible when Job, had a dog cured him wounds, until the dog guide that is the only one able to remain all the time beside his master, until the death separates them, he has come carrying out admirably.
