Con il Bulldog inglese, è loro drooling non finisce mai. È vero che molti cani drool, ma bulldog sembra avere un po ' peggio rispetto la maggior parte dei cani. Molti proprietari di bulldogs vorrei sapere prima di tutto perché hanno questo problema, e in secondo luogo, se c'è qualcosa che possono fare per aiutare il problema.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Il motivo perché British Bulldogs drool è a causa delle dimensioni del loro viso e tutti la buccia che si blocca sul loro volto. Più sciolto appesi carne che hanno, più essi drool. Non c'è davvero abbastanza carne "robusto" per contenere il drool dentro la bocca. In qualsiasi momento bulldog ha qualcosa da bere, stanno andando drool e davvero non c'è alcun modo per impedire che. Molti proprietari asciugherà bocca del cane dopo essi drool per ridurre la loro possibilità di ottenere un rash foruncolosi, che è comune con Bulldogs.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Con tutto l'eccesso drooling bulldog fa, molti di loro finiscono per lo sviluppo di dermatite labbro-pieghevole, un disturbo inferiore e coerenza con i cani con un labbro superiore sporgente ascensore pieghe. È causata da dermatite, proposto un accumulo di saliva e cibo. I sintomi sono le labbra e la pelle intorno alla bocca, diventando puzzolente e avere uno sguardo marrone grasso a loro. Ancora una volta, se si secca la pelle sciolta spesso, può essere in grado di eliminare questo problema.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Alcuni proprietari di bulldog credono che non tutti i bulldogs drool, ma la maggior parte di essi. Alcuni di quelli che drool può effettivamente ottenere bagnato loro proprietario; alcuni hanno descritto come essendo come qualcuno aveva versato un bicchiere d'acqua su di essi. Un'altra abitudine "bagnato" bulldog inglese ha è venuta al suo proprietario e scuotendo la testa avanti e indietro. Il proprietario sarà spesso sento come qualcuno gettò un po' d'acqua su di lui! Altri sostengono che, quando loro bulldog passeggiate attraverso la cucina, egli lascia una scia di acqua dietro di lui da tutti i suoi drool. Questo è quanto male la drooling è con alcuni dei cani.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In breve, la pelle più sciolto un bulldog ha sul suo volto, più che stanno per drool. Breve di pulitutto il volto del cane fuori tutto il tempo, c'è ben poco che si può fare al riguardo il drool. Una possibilità consiste nel tentare di formare il tuo bulldog a non scuotere la testa mentre accanto a voi. Alcuni individui, da altro, trovano questo comportamento del loro bulldog abbastanza endearing. Non è mai un'altra cosa che può provare per nutrire il cane dal vostro tavolo o mentre si mangia. Ogni volta che egli apre la bocca per ottenere un ossequio o cibo, egli sta per drool. Un altro metodo utilizza uno di famiglia è di legare una bandana intorno al collo del cane con la parte del triangolo sul loro petto. Questo è abbastanza efficiente per catturare il drool.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/15704725-3266828430819446498?l=bulldoginglese.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://bulldoginglese.blogspot.com/feeds/3266828430819446498/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=15704725&amp;postID=3266828430819446498' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/15704725/posts/default/3266828430819446498'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/15704725/posts/default/3266828430819446498'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://bulldoginglese.blogspot.com/2010/09/bulldog-e-drooling.html' title='Bulldog e Drooling'/><author><name>bulldoginglesi</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07467680949767547390</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15704725.post-7134049070076838019</id><published>2010-09-04T01:20:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2010-09-04T01:22:08.472-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Bulldogs nella cultura popolare e come mascotte durante gli anni</title><content type='html'>Bulldog è stato intorno per molti anni ed è sempre stato un popolare, se il cane frainteso.

 Le iene hanno una forza di morso di 1.000 libbre, poco piu' del il 940 registrato per i leoni,&lt;br /&gt;       gli squali 330 libbre e un Cane Comune, il Labrador, 125 libbre di forza. &lt;br /&gt;       Gli esseri umani hanno sorprendentemente battuto il cane da compagnia, misurando 170 libbre. Brady Barr misurava la Forza del Morso di un Rotweiler con 338 libbre stabilendo la misura Record per un Cane, libbre di forza non libbre per pollice quadrato, psi, mentre il Pittbull ed il Pastore Tedesco hanno raggiunto le 235 libbre.

Una cosa è certa, appartiene al gruppo  dei molossoidi che derivano dal molosso del Tibet, all'origine di tutti  i cani brachicefali. Questo cane asiatico si è diffuso nel mondo  intero, generando vari tipi, frutto anche delle selezioni volute per  l'utilizzo del cane, per le condizioni di vita o della zona geografica  nella quale si è sviluppato. Ha generato cani come il Mastino Inglese  in Gran Bretagna, gli &amp;quot;Allan&amp;quot; del Medio Evo Francese (il cui  discendente più puro è il Dogue de Bordeax) in Francia, il Cane di  Burgos in Spagna e il Mastino Napoletano in Italia. Indicativamente  l'uomo ha selezionato molossoidi di grande taglia per il combattimento  e la guardia e, parallelamente dei soggetti più piccoli e leggeri si  sono sviluppati con diverse selezioni. Bisogna tornare al secolo  scorso, più precisamente verso gli anni 1850-1880, quando in Gran  Bretagna esistono dei piccoli &lt;a href="http://www.the-bulldog.com/"&gt;Bulldogs&lt;/a&gt;, che in realtà non hanno  somiglianza con il &lt;a href="http://www.the-bulldog.com/"&gt;Bulldog Inglese&lt;/a&gt; dei nostri giorni. Si tratta infatti  di cani più leggeri, a muso meno schiacciato e fronte piatta e larga.  Sono attivi e utilizzati per la caccia ai topi. Sono chiamati Toy  &lt;a href="http://www.the-bulldog.com/"&gt;Bulldogs&lt;/a&gt;. Parallelamente esiste, in Francia, un cane di dimensioni  simili al Toy &lt;a href="http://www.the-bulldog.com/"&gt;Bulldog&lt;/a&gt;, che si trova principalmente nei sobborghi di  Parigi, a Pantin e a La Villette. Somiglia ai Doguin, ai terrier e ai  piccoli &lt;a href="http://www.the-bulldog.com/"&gt;Bulldogs&lt;/a&gt;. Viene chiamato Terrier Boule o Ratier, senza dubbio a  causa del suo talento eccezionale per la caccia ai ratti. Il bouledogue  francese ha quindi origini molto umili, era infatti il compagno  principale dei mercanti di bestiame, dei macellai e dei mercanti di  vino. Molte di queste persone erano anche appassionati di combattimenti  tra cani, ed alcuni progenitori degli attuali Bouledogue, vennero  impiegati in queste cruente esibizioni. I suoi antenati erano molto  diversi come forma dagli attuali, ma pur sempre coraggiosi e  battaglieri. E' nel 1875, che qualche amatore, di origine modesta,  comincia a selezionare soggetti piccoli privilegiando quelli con gli  arti corti e muscolosi. Carles Petit, uno dei primi allevatori,  lavorando in Belgio, nel 1880 trova un piccolo Ratier maschio bringé.  E' LUOPI, piccolo Terrier Boule, del peso di 25 libbre e con le  orecchie dritte. Fù comprato per Mosieur Riviere. LOUPI fù progenitore  di numerosi discendenti tra cui RABOT DE BEUBOURG uno degli stalloni di  razza LOF 3004 e DICK DE LA MARE, con mantello bringé e di peso 10  libbre, selezionato per Monsieur Ruffier, ristoratore. Nel frattempo,  alcuni inglesi di Nottingham, attraversano la Manica e si stabiliscono  a Calais. Sono accompagnati dai loro Bulldogs di tipo leggero che  avevano lo stesso utilizzo in Gran Bretagna, dei Ratier francesi. Gli  incroci tra i Ratier e i piccoli Toy Bulldogs hanno certamente  contribuito alla nascita del &lt;a href="http://www.the-bulldog.com/"&gt;Bouledogue&lt;/a&gt; Francese. Qualche modesto  allevatore comincia a riunirsi, Monsieur Roger, conoscitore, buon  allevatore e giudice, crea, il 5 Aprile 1888 il primo &lt;a href="http://www.the-bulldog.com/"&gt;Bouledogue&lt;/a&gt; Club  in Francia, club non ancora riconosciuto dalla Société Centrale Canine;  questo club conta solo 47 iscritti, ma fissa uno standard che resterà  valido fino al 1989. I punti principali sono:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;        - il cane ha l'aspetto di un piccolo ercole;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;        - La sua   altezza deve essere uguale alla sua larghezza;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;        - La circonferenza della testa   può essere al massimo superiore di due centimetri; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;        - La gola è larga e   quadrata, il tartufo molto arretrato e rincagnato; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;        - Le orecchie sono corte,   arrotondate;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;        - Esistono dei soggetti a orecchie dritte, che formano una   categoria a parte nelle esposizioni;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;        - Il peso del cane   maschio non deve superare i 15 Kg, quello del cane femmina 12,5 Kg&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;      Ad ogni modo, l'emigrazione dall'Inghilterra alla Francia procuro' con  il passare del tempo quello che si potrebbe definire un innalzamento  sociale di questo cane e dei suoi progenitori. Se in terra inglese i  Toy &lt;a href="http://www.the-bulldog.com/"&gt;Bulldogs&lt;/a&gt; erano di fatto i compagni preferiti di cantinai,  cocchieri, mercanti e in genere dei bottegai in terra inglese, in  Francia conquistarono ben presto i salotti bene dell'aristocrazia  dell'epoca, apprezzati non piu' come indefessi lavoratori, ma come  compagni dal temperamento spiccato e diffidenti verso maggiordomi e  visitatori. Per intermediazione di cocchieri (Monsieur Bernard  Barasino), di certe case di tolleranza (come la maison di Madame  Palmyre), il piccolo &lt;a href="http://www.the-bulldog.com/"&gt;Bouledogue&lt;/a&gt; comincia ad interessare la piccola  borghesia. Il &lt;a href="http://www.the-bulldog.com/"&gt;Bouledogue&lt;/a&gt; divenne cosi' ben presto una delle muse  ispiratrici preferite della pittura della Belle Epoque e un gradito  ospite nelle case di personaggi famosi quali la scrittrice Colette e la  cantante Mistinguett (in Inghilterra occorre ricordarlo, il &lt;a href="http://www.the-bulldog.com/"&gt;Bouledogue&lt;/a&gt;  era il cane preferito del Principe di Galles , futuro Re con il nome di  Edoardo VII).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;      &lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;      &lt;h4 class="title"&gt;Bulldog Francese - Bouledogue &lt;/h4&gt;&lt;br /&gt;      &lt;h5 class="byline"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.the-bulldog.com/it/Razze-Bulldog/Bulldog-Francese/Bulldog-Francese-Standard.html"&gt;Standard FCI&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/h5&gt;&lt;br /&gt;      &lt;p&gt;Il &lt;a href="http://www.the-bulldog.com/"&gt;bouledogue&lt;/a&gt;   francese appartiene al gruppo 9, cani da compagnia, molossoidi di piccola   taglia.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;      &lt;p&gt;Aspetto   generale&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;      &lt;p&gt;Cane possente   nella sua piccola taglia, brevilineo, compatto in tutte le sue proporzioni, con   pelo raso, muso corto e schiacciato, orecchie diritte, coda naturalmente corta.   Deve apparire reattivo, intelligente, molto muscoloso, dalla struttura compatta   e dall'ossatura solida.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;      &lt;p&gt;Comportamento&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;      &lt;p&gt;Piacevole   cane da compagnia, da guardia. Particolarmente affettuoso con i suoi padroni e i   bambini.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;      &lt;p&gt;Taglia e peso &lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;      &lt;p&gt;II peso non   deve essere inferiore agli 8 kg e non superiore ai 14. La taglia deve essere   proporzionata al peso.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;      &lt;p&gt;Andatura&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;      &lt;p&gt;I movimenti   sono sciolti. Gli arti si spostano parallelamente al piano mediano del   corpo.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;      &lt;p&gt;Testa&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;      &lt;p&gt;Deve essere   molto grossa, larga e squadrata. La pelle che la ricopre forma pliche e rughe   quasi simmetriche.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;      &lt;p&gt;Tartufo -   Largo, molto corto, all'insù, con narici ben aperte e simmetriche, dirette   obliquamente all'indietro. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;      &lt;p&gt;Muso - Molto   corto, largo; presenta pliche concentriche, simmetriche, che discendono sul   labbro superiore (la lunghezza è pari a circa 1/6 di quella del cranio). &lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;      &lt;p&gt;Labbra -   Spesse, un po' rilassate e nere. Il labbro superiore si congiunge al centro con   il labbro inferiore in modo da nascondere completamente i denti, che non devono   mai essere visibili. Il profilo del labbro superiore e' ben disceso e   arrotondato. Non si deve vedere mai la lingua a bocca chiusa. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;      &lt;p&gt;Mascelle -   Larghe, squadrate, potenti. La mascella inferiore descrive un'ampia curva che   termina davanti alla mascella superiore cingendola. Quando la bocca e'chiusa, la   proiezione della mascella inferiore (prognatismo) e'moderata dalla curvatura   delle branche mandibolari.Questa curvatura è necessaria per evitare una   proiezione eccessiva della mascella inferiore (cane con denti scoperti). Gli   incisivi inferiori non devono mai essere dietro a quelli superiori (cane   enognato). L'arcata degli incisivi inferiori e' arrotondata. Le mascelle non   devono presentare deviazione laterale. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;      &lt;p&gt;Guance - I   muscoli delle guance sono ben sviluppati ma non sporgenti. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;      &lt;p&gt;Stop -   Profondo e accentuato.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;      &lt;p&gt;Cranio -   Largo, quasi piatto, con fronte molto convessa. Arcate sopraccigliari sporgenti,   separate da un solco particolarmente sviluppato fra gli occhi. Il solco non deve   prolungarsi sulla fronte come nel Bulldog inglese.Cresta occipitale molto poco   sviluppata. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;      &lt;p&gt;Occhi -   Espressione sveglia. Piazzati bassi, abbastanza lontani dal tartufo e   soprattutto dalle orecchie, di colore scuro, abbastanza grandi, ben rotondi,   leggermente sporgenti, non lasciano intravedere nessuna traccia di bianco   (sclerotica) quando il cane guarda dritto davanti di se'.

The expression should reflect intelligence and alertness. The sturdy and powerful yet compact frame is characteristically stockier and heavier boned in the males and more refined in the females. Some aloofness with strangers and assertiveness towards other dogs is accepted. However, an American Bulldog should not be excessively timid, shy or aggressive towards man and preferably not overly aggressive with other dogs. Due to its distinctive physical and mental characteristics along with its natural desire to be the total companion and working dog, an American Bulldog should never be confused with uniquely different breeds such as the American Staffordshire Terrier or the American Pit Bull Terrier.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;      &lt;p&gt;Size-General: Males should range from 24 to 27 inches at the withers and weigh between 90 and 110 pounds. Females should range from 22 to 25 inches at the withers and weigh between 70 and 90 pounds. Weight should be proportional to height and body type. A dog should be well conditioned and not overweight or underweight. &lt;br /&gt;        Standard: A leaner and more athletic dog in appearance. &lt;br /&gt;        Classic: A larger and more powerful dog in appearance. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;      &lt;p&gt;Color: Solid or varying degrees of white, all shades of brindle, brown, red, or tan are acceptable. Solid black, black and tan, and/or any degree of merle is unacceptable. A full black mask is not acceptable. **Merle is a dilution of overall body color (black or red) with splotches of darker color giving the effect of "merling" or "marbling" not to be confused with Brindle that gives the effect of "striping". &lt;br /&gt;        &lt;br /&gt;        Coat: Short, less than one inch in length varying from soft to stiff. Long, feathering, or fuzzy coats are unacceptable. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;      &lt;p&gt;Head: The head should be relatively large and broad in proportion to the size and overall structure of the dog. It should be flat on top giving a squared appearance. There is a defined furrow between the eyes with a distinct, deep stop. The head is well-muscled throughout with prominent cheeks. An excessively narrow head is unacceptable in both types. &lt;br /&gt;        &lt;br /&gt;        Standard: Generally box shaped to wedge in appearance with a slightly shallower stop and less wrinkles.&lt;br /&gt;        &lt;br /&gt;        Classic: Generally box shaped to round in appearance with a more definitive stop and heavier wrinkles. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;      &lt;p&gt;Eyes: The eyes should be round or almond shape, medium sized, and wide set. Black or dark brown is the preferred color. Other colors are accepted. Black eye rim pigment preferred. Crossed and/or nonsymmetrical eyes are unacceptable. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;      &lt;p&gt;Muzzle: The muzzle should be relatively broad and square. The large jaws are well-muscled, displaying great strength. Lips are full but not pendulous. Black pigment lining lips preferred. An excessively narrow muzzle is unacceptable in both types. &lt;br /&gt;        &lt;br /&gt;        Standard: muzzle should be 30% to 40% of the overall length of head. &lt;br /&gt;        &lt;br /&gt;        Classic: muzzle should be 25% to 35% of the overall length of head. &lt;br /&gt;        &lt;br /&gt;        Teeth: The teeth should number 42 to 44 and large in size is preferred. Working dogs should not be penalized for broken teeth. Should medical removal of teeth be needed, documentation and verification by a veterinarian is requested. &lt;br /&gt;        &lt;br /&gt;        Bite:&lt;br /&gt;        &lt;br /&gt;        Standard: Reverse scissors is preferred. Moderate underbite, scissors or even bite is acceptable.&lt;br /&gt;        &lt;br /&gt;        Classic: Undershot 1/4 to ½ inch preferred. Even bite is not preferred. Scissors bite is unacceptable.&lt;br /&gt;        &lt;br /&gt;        Both types: Teeth should not be visible when the mouth is closed.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/15704725-6457768404558454435?l=bulldoginglese.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://bulldoginglese.blogspot.com/feeds/6457768404558454435/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=15704725&amp;postID=6457768404558454435' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/15704725/posts/default/6457768404558454435'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/15704725/posts/default/6457768404558454435'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://bulldoginglese.blogspot.com/2010/08/american-bulldog_14.html' title='American Bulldog'/><author><name>bulldoginglesi</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07467680949767547390</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15704725.post-4572173011103014606</id><published>2010-08-03T14:15:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2010-08-03T14:16:25.607-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Dorso di Carpa</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://www.the-bulldog.com/"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.the-bulldog.com/colpo-di-reni103.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block;

Il The Original Bulldog Club, consiglia, per numerose ragioni, di non acquistare cuccioli che siano stati allontanati dalla madre prima dei 4 mesi ( 120 giorni ) di eta'. Infatti, gli studi effettuati dal The Original Bulldog Club, riguardanti i piu' conosciuti allevamenti ungheresi, hanno rivelato una elevata qualita' di questi ultimi, di conseguenza i numerosi problemi riscontrati          nei cuccioli giunti in Italia sembrerebbero dipendere principalmente dal precoce          allontanamento dalla madre ed all' eta' del cucciolo in relazione alle condizioni          del viaggio ed alle condizioni del luogo di accoglienza. Considerando che il trasporto          di grandi quantita' di cuccioli, a prezzi molto bassi, e' possibile proprio per          la tenerissima eta' di questi ultimi, si ritiene che, vietando o sconsigliando l'          acquisto dei cuccioli prima dei 4 mesi di vita, eviteremmo, in ogni caso, l' allontanamento          precoce dalla madre e dai fratelli, i cuccioli potrebbero gia' usufruire di una          buona protezione anticorpale e sarebbe, inoltre, molto piu' difficoltosa e meno          redditizia , per molte ragioni oggettive, la loro importazione da paesi stranieri.          In ogni caso la normativa esistente indica che l' eta' minima dei cani importati          in Italia, sia da paesi comunitari che extracomunitari, dovrebbe essere non inferiore          ai tre mesi e ventun giorni a causa della vaccinazione obbligatoria da effettuare          dopo i tre mesi di età ed al relativo vaccino che diviene efficace solo dopo ventun          giorni dalla somministrazione.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;h1 align="center"&gt; &lt;a href="http://www.the-bulldog.com/" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span style="background-color:#990000; border: dotted  3px; padding: 0px; color: #000000;"&gt;ORIGINAL BULLDOG CLUB&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/h1&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/15704725-8758375308263546928?l=bulldoginglese.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://bulldoginglese.blogspot.com/feeds/8758375308263546928/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=15704725&amp;postID=8758375308263546928' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/15704725/posts/default/8758375308263546928'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/15704725/posts/default/8758375308263546928'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://bulldoginglese.blogspot.com/2010/08/cuccioli-bulldog-est-europa.html' title='Cuccioli Bulldog -

In preventive veterinary medicine genetic counceling is of gaining importance. In the offsprings of eight British Bulldog stud dogs the prevalance of generalized edema was studied (Figure 1 and 2). As a result of test matings with randomly selected bitches only two males were declared free of the inborn disorder (Table 2). In one male (number7) a high grade affectedness (48% anasarca, 24% palatoschisis) was found. In the Hungarian Bulldog population the ratio of animals with genetic disorders is high. Among the offsprings of the studied males 42 puppies were subjected to pathological examination. Out of 42 puppies 35 died of anasarca including 27 females and 8 males. The body weight of the puppies varied between 250–710 g. The combined weight of lungs and heart was 4.4–14.2 g, while kidneys weighted 1.9–4.4 g (Table 3). Autopsy and histopathological examination showed multiple factors in developing anasarca. In the hearts muscle hypoplasia and inborn defects, ventricular stenosis, aorta stenosis, truncus pulmonalis stenosis, Fallot tetralogy, valve defects were found. In the lungs and the kidneys hypoplasia was diagnosed (Figure 3). In some cases of anasarca hypofunction of thyroid gland was also diagnosed (Figure 4). Apart from the above mentioned developmental abnormalities in 14 cases other developmental disorders were seen in the puppies (8 palatoschisis, 4 laryngal hypoplasia, 2 hypoplasia of the epiglottis). The similar phenotypic (as general edema) expression of different organ (heart and kidneys) defects and organ systems support the heterogenetic nature of anasarca. The general edema might be a result of more recessive gene mutations or structural chromosomal abberations. The reults support the inborn nature of anasarca, but further studies (karyotype and DNA analysis) are needed to find the mode of inheritance.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.univet.hu/mal/2001/06e.htm"&gt;http://www.univet.hu/mal/2001/06e.htm&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/15704725-1923048588864862236?l=bulldoginglese.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://bulldoginglese.blogspot.com/feeds/1923048588864862236/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=15704725&amp;postID=1923048588864862236' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/15704725/posts/default/1923048588864862236'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/15704725/posts/default/1923048588864862236'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://bulldoginglese.blogspot.com/2007/07/anasarca.html' title='ANASARCA'/><author><name>bulldoginglesi</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07467680949767547390</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15704725.post-6704043354838467905</id><published>2007-07-12T13:41:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2007-07-12T13:43:10.667-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Swimmer syndrome'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='bulldog'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='clinical studies'/><title type='text'>Swimmer syndrome</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Swimmer syndrome&lt;/strong&gt; in a Devon rex kitten and an English bulldog puppy.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Verhoeven G, de Rooster H, Risselada M, Wiemer P, Scheire L, van Bree H.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Department of Medical Imaging, Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, University of Ghent, Salisburrylaan 133, 9130 Merelbeke, Belgium.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;A three-week-old Devon rex kitten and a four-week-old English bulldog puppy were presented with "swimmer syndrome".

The mean ventricular volume was 14.8 ml. with a range of 8.6 m1.-38.1 ml. The mean ventricular volume of two beagles was 2.2 ml with a range of 0.7 m1.3.7 ml. The percent of intracranial volume occupied by ventricle was found to be significantly larger in bulldogs (14.0%; S.D. = 7.9%) than in beagles (Range = 1.048%). The relationship between the percent of intracranial volume occupied by ventricle and measurements of body weight, age, sex, and various measures of skull anatomy of the bulldog was also determined. The relationship between ventricular volume and neurologic dysfunction was examined. There was a possible trend between high percent of intracranial volume occupied by ventricle and low body weight.

Their muzzles are usually short and broad, and they often have wide, fleshy lips that may have folds or creases. Many have a distinctive pad over their noses; this pad is often endowed with odd bristles with spatulate tips. Most free-tailed bats have relatively short but broad ears. The tragus is tiny, but opposite it, an antitragus is unusually well developed. All species have &lt;a class="wiki" href="http://animaldiversity.ummz.umich.edu/site/resources/anatomical_images/family_pages/chiroptera/molossidae2.jpg/view.html"&gt;long, narrow wings&lt;/a&gt;, apparently adapted for fast but relatively unmanueverable flight in open places. Their &lt;a class="wiki" href="http://animaldiversity.ummz.umich.edu/site/topics/mammal_anatomy/bat_wings.html"&gt;wing and tail membranes&lt;/a&gt; are unusually tough and leathery. Molossids also have &lt;a class="wiki" href="http://animaldiversity.ummz.umich.edu/site/resources/anatomical_images/family_pages/chiroptera/molossidae2.jpg/view.html"&gt;short, strong legs and broad feet&lt;/a&gt;. Like their nose pads, molossids' feet are well endowed with sensory bristles (also with spatulate tips). They are excellent climbers, perhaps because they launch themselves for flight from a considerable height above the ground. Because of their long, narrow wings, they must attain considerable speed before they can develop enough lift to fly. They accomplish this by falling some distance from their roost or take-off point.&lt;br /&gt;Molossids generally have short, even velvety fur. Most are black or brown, and many species have distinctive reddish and brownish or blackish color phases.Molossids are found in the New World from the central United States south to southern Argentina. In the Old World, they occur in southern Europe and Africa, eastward through tropical and subtropical Asia to Australia. All members of the family are insectivorous, catching their prey on the wing. Their roosting habits range from solitary to living in immense colonies of millions of bats, usually in caves. In the neighborhood of these large colonies, molossids may consume enormous numbers of insects. Approximately 85 species of molossids are placed in around 12 genera.&lt;br /&gt;Technically, molossids can be recognized by a combination of the following characters:&lt;br /&gt;long tail, tip of tail free of uropatagium&lt;br /&gt;tragus tiny, antitragus conspicuous&lt;br /&gt;no noseleaf&lt;br /&gt;3rd phalanx of the 3rd finger is cartilaginous for most of its length&lt;br /&gt;no &lt;a class="wiki" href="http://animaldiversity.ummz.umich.edu/site/resources/anatomical_images/family_pages/chiroptera/molossidae.jpg/view.html"&gt;postorbital processes&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a class="wiki" href="http://animaldiversity.ummz.umich.edu/site/topics/mammal_anatomy/premaxillae_of_bats.html"&gt;premaxillae&lt;/a&gt; with or without palatal branches&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a class="wiki" href="http://animaldiversity.ummz.umich.edu/site/resources/anatomical_images/family_pages/chiroptera/molossidae.jpg/view.html"&gt;dilambdodont&lt;/a&gt; teeth&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a class="wiki" href="http://animaldiversity.ummz.umich.edu/site/topics/mammal_anatomy/kinds_of_teeth.html"&gt;dental formula&lt;/a&gt; 1/1-3, 1/1, 1-2/2, 2-3/3&lt;br /&gt;The fossil record of the Molossidae extends to the late Eocene.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a class="wiki" href="http://animaldiversity.ummz.umich.edu/site/resources/anatomical_images/family_pages/chiroptera/molossidae.jpg/view.html"&gt;Technical characters (skull)&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a class="wiki" href="http://animaldiversity.ummz.umich.edu/site/resources/anatomical_images/family_pages/chiroptera/molossidae2.jpg/view.html"&gt;Technical characters (body)&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://animaldiversity.ummz.umich.edu/site/accounts/information/Molossidae.html"&gt;http://animaldiversity.ummz.umich.edu/site/accounts/information/Molossidae.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/15704725-7678386546987376219?l=bulldoginglese.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://bulldoginglese.blogspot.com/feeds/7678386546987376219/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=15704725&amp;postID=7678386546987376219' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/15704725/posts/default/7678386546987376219'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/15704725/posts/default/7678386546987376219'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://bulldoginglese.blogspot.com/2007/06/family-molossidae-free-tailed-bats.html' title='Family Molossidae - free-tailed bats'/><author><name>bulldoginglesi</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07467680949767547390</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15704725.post-1030385389237604433</id><published>2007-06-04T17:56:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2007-06-04T18:00:12.919-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Family Noctilionidae - bulldog bats</title><content type='html'>Two species (placed in a single genus) make up this family, the members of which are called bull-dog or mastiff bats. Noctilionids are medium-sized bats, often brightly colored (varying from bright rufous in males to drab gray-brown in females). The region around the mouth is distinctive. The lips are full and form cheek pouches, in which the bats store food as they feed while flying. A &lt;a class="wiki" href="http://animaldiversity.ummz.umich.edu/site/topics/mammal_anatomy/bat_wings.html"&gt;uropatagium&lt;/a&gt; extends somewhat beyond the knees. The tail of bulldog bats runs through the uropatagium for about half the length of the membrane, then exits dorsally, and the terminal part of the tail is free. The feet and claws range from relatively large (Noctilio albiventris) to relatively enormous (Noctilio leporinus) in size, and the legs are proportionately longer than in most other bats. The ears are moderately large and a tragus is present.&lt;br /&gt;Bulldog bats have a pungent odor, described by some investigators as "fishy."&lt;br /&gt;In the skull, the &lt;a class="wiki" href="http://animaldiversity.ummz.umich.edu/site/resources/anatomical_images/family_pages/chiroptera/noctilionidae.jpg/view.html"&gt;premaxillae&lt;/a&gt; are fused with each other and with the maxillae, and both &lt;a class="wiki" href="http://animaldiversity.ummz.umich.edu/site/resources/anatomical_images/family_pages/chiroptera/noctilionidae.jpg/view.html"&gt;nasal and palatal branches&lt;/a&gt; of the premaxillae are present (the latter very small and indistinct in adults). The auditory bullae are small. &lt;a class="wiki" href="http://animaldiversity.ummz.umich.edu/site/resources/anatomical_images/family_pages/chiroptera/noctilionidae.jpg/view.html"&gt;Postorbital processes&lt;/a&gt;, found in many other kinds of bats, are completely lacking. The &lt;a class="wiki" href="http://animaldiversity.ummz.umich.edu/site/topics/mammal_anatomy/kinds_of_teeth.html"&gt;dental formula&lt;/a&gt; of noctilionids is 2/2, 1/1, 1/2, 3/3 = 34; and &lt;a class="wiki" href="http://animaldiversity.ummz.umich.edu/site/resources/anatomical_images/family_pages/chiroptera/noctilionidae.jpg/view.html"&gt;the molars&lt;/a&gt; are &lt;a class="wiki" href="http://animaldiversity.ummz.umich.edu/site/topics/mammal_anatomy/tooth_diversity.html"&gt;dilambdodont&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;Both species of noctilionids feed on insects, and N. leporinus takes fish, frogs, and crustaceans as well. To capture fish, these bats use their echolocation to locate exposed fins or ripples made by fish swimming near the surface. They then drag their claws through these ripples. Their hind claws are unusually large and sharp and serve as efficient gaffs. Once out of the water, the fish is carried to a perch, where it is eaten by the bat. Noctilio leporinus may also capture insects and crustaceans on the surface of the water.&lt;br /&gt;These bats usually roost near water, often in hollow trees or in deep cracks in rocks.&lt;br /&gt;Bulldog bats are a Neotropical group, found from northern Mexico, through Central America, south to Paraguay and northern Argentina. Few fossils are available, and those that are known are from the Pleistocene. Bulldog bats may be related to two other New World families, &lt;a class="taxon_link" href="http://animaldiversity.ummz.umich.edu/site/accounts/information/Phyllostomidae.html"&gt;Phyllostomidae&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a class="taxon_link" href="http://animaldiversity.ummz.umich.edu/site/accounts/information/Mormoopidae.html"&gt;Mormoopidae&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://animaldiversity.ummz.umich.edu/site/accounts/information/Noctilionidae.html"&gt;http://animaldiversity.ummz.umich.edu/site/accounts/information/Noctilionidae.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/15704725-1030385389237604433?l=bulldoginglese.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://bulldoginglese.blogspot.com/feeds/1030385389237604433/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=15704725&amp;postID=1030385389237604433' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/15704725/posts/default/1030385389237604433'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/15704725/posts/default/1030385389237604433'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://bulldoginglese.blogspot.com/2007/06/family-noctilionidae-bulldog-bats.html' title='Family Noctilionidae - bulldog bats'/><author><name>bulldoginglesi</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07467680949767547390</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15704725.post-1421333041782598222</id><published>2007-05-29T06:25:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2007-05-29T06:30:17.274-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Bulldog Types</title><content type='html'>Molti Allevatori hanno cercato di ricostituire l' Original Purebred Bulldog, con risultati scientificamente discutibili, partendo, infatti, dal presupposto che questo fosse geneticamente estinto in UK.

Questa ipotesi piacerebbe molto a Gianni Rodari e ad Edmondo de Amicis, ma si dimostra molto superficiale e poco supportata dai fatti:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1) Il Bulldog era considerato un cane coraggioso almeno fino a quando io ero bambino e questo posso testimoniarlo, i Bulldog erano rarissimi e incutavano molto timore.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2 ) Ritengo che gli allevatori inglesi siano sempre stati , chi lo possedeva, orgogliosi del loro bulldog.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3) Gli ultimi studi hanno dimostrato che sono proprio i cani di piccola taglia quelli potenzialmente piu aggressivi ( Carlino).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4)Allo stesso tempo il Dogue de Bordeaux e il Mastiff, hanno una Storia secolare nei Combattimenti e hanno spiccate propensioni alla Guardia, di certo non sono i cani indicati per ottenere un Cane da Compagnia.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;5) I cani sono tutti cani e obbediscono agli stessi istinti all' interno di un comportamento influenzato dall' indole, ma non secondariamente da fattori ambientali come le dinamiche che si determinano all' interno della Cucciolata, lo Stile di vita del cane, il Comportamento del padrone,l'esempio degli altri cani, come la madre, etc .&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;6) Un cane a cui e stato assegnato il compito di proteggere il branco dalle aggressioni esterne non puo non andare incontro al pericolo per aggredire il potenziale aggressore ( ad esempio un altro maschio ).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;7) Nessuno volle ottenere un Cane da Compagnia con una struttura fisica come il Bulldog, sarebbe stato un controsenso, vietati i combattimenti il Bulldog venne evidentemente utilizzato per la Guardia.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;8 ) Nell' Ottocento l' Inghilterra era un paese prevalentemente rurale e non esisteva ancora la figura del Milanese col Porsche Cayenne e il Bulldoghino, i cani venivano utilizzati per scopi precisi secondo la taglia e le attitudini, infatti in Inghilterra il Bulldog e classificato come un Utility Dog.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;9) Il Bulldog aveva fama di essere il Cane migliore del Mondo, veniva venduto a caro prezzo e fu per questo sottoposto a notevoli esportazioni proprio nella seconda meta dell' Ottocento, di conseguenza chi lo incrocio con altre razze non disse niente a nessuno, almeno in un primo momento.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;10 ) Il Bulldog divenne il simbolo dell'Inghilterra e raggiunse una grande popolarita durante un periodo bellico, la seconda guerra mondiale, come simbolo di quelle qualita che sono evidentemente necessarie per vincere una guerra, quasi cento anni dopo queste ormai leggendarie selezioni effettuate per addolcirne il carattere.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;11) Il Bulldog era classificato come cane da Combattimento fino a qualche anno fa e solo adesso viene classificato come cane da Guardia e da Compagnia.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;12 ) I cani da Compagnia di solito sono di piccola taglia non sono dei molossoidi che possono arrivare al peso di 40 kilogrammi, ben difficili da gestire, quindi, anche i questo caso non ci sono prove che avvalorino la tesi delle selezioni mirate per ottenere un cane da Compagnia.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;13) Il Bulldog incute, tuttora, molto timore, in particolare nelle donne, le persone tendenzialmente si spostano quando passa un Bulldog, anche questa non e una caratteristica da Cane da Compagnia o da Salotto.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;14 ) La mia esperienza personale indica che io lascio i miei cuccioli da soli con il Bulldog Originale, mentre non li lascio da soli con il Bulldog Classico, quindi non credo che ci siano voluti 150 anni di selezioni mirate da parte dei migliori allevatori del mondo e l' estinzione di una razza per arrivare a questo.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;15 ) Gli Inglesi rispettano gli animali e nell' ottocento era realmente di moda in Inghilterra possedere gli animali più strani provenienti dalle regioni più disparate del mondo, non penso che in questo clima di apertura e rispetto, quasi sacro, verso tutto il mondo animale, insetti e rettili, acquisito direttamente dall' India, la colonia più importante e conosciuta in quel periodo, se la andassero a prendere, a livello da deciderne pubblicamente la estinzione, contro il povero Bulldog Inglese, razza autoctona, il migliore amico dell'uomo.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;16) Concludendo, compiendo una valutazione oggettiva, dovremmo dire che il carattere del Bulldog Inglese è rimasto, in fin dei conti, nel 2006, quasi immutato e che queste mitiche opere di selezione cosi drasticamente supermirate, anche a costo di estinzioni o di incroci con altre razze sono iniziate quasi duecento anni orsono e, di questo passo, potranno, tra qualche secolo essere definite Eterne, o, quanto meno, La Opera Umana più Lunga della Storia dell' Uomo, più delle Piramidi, della Fabbrica del Duomo di Milano o del cantiere per la costruzione della Basilica di San Pietro, forse perchè in Inghilterra chi l' ha posseduto è stato sempre contento e orgoglioso del suo Bulldog Inglese e non ha mai pensato di cambiarlo.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a

type='text'>THE EXTINCTION OF THE ORIGINAL BULLDOG.</title><content type='html'>Premetto che questa è un' analisi storica ed in quanto tale cerca di essere aderente ai fatti.Premetto che, con ogni probabilità, l' unico che conosce realmente la &lt;a href="http://www.the-bulldog.com/storia.html" target="_blank"&gt;Storia dell' Original Pure Breed Bulldog&lt;/a&gt; sia il grandissimo &lt;a href="http://www.the-bulldog.com/thorpe.html" target="_blank"&gt;Mr. Les Thorpe&lt;/a&gt; e che le mie sono, comunque, solo supposizioni. Tra i fattori che potrebbero averne causato l' estinzione, a mio avviso, possiamo ravvisare: la persecuzione scatenata nei suoi confronti durante il 19° secolo, le oggettive difficoltà prodotte dal suo allevamento, le richieste del mercato di bulldog ipertipici,la necessità di ottenere un maggior numero di cuccioli, anche se non purissimi. Purtroppo anche in questo caso le informazioni che giungono sopra il Bulldog Inglese sono piuttosto contradditorie. Più profondamente non credo che movimenti di opinione sicuramente circoscritti riguardanti la eccessiva aggressività del Bulldog ( la tendenza a colpire la faccia, ad attaccare altri cani e la sua nota abilità nel prendere e uccidere i gatti, anche quelli del vicino di casa ), oppure le sue antiche origine asiatiche ( fermenti nazionalisti di fine '800), possano giustificarne la scomparsa anche perchè il Bulldog Classico del 20° secolo cerca , senza riuscirci, di colpire in faccia, cerca, senza riuscirci, di prendere il gatto, e spesso il maschio è litigioso con altri maschi. Inoltre il Bulldog, osservando i dipinti dell' epoca, non sembra un cane di per sè incontrollabile o troppo aggressivo, ad esempio quando non è raffigurato con l'uomo. Infatti, in molti disegni dei combattimenti possiamo notare che l'uomo è il vero protagonista, con la sua eccitazione, del dipinto e del combattimento. Era quindi necessario portare il Bulldog in uno stato di eccitazione assolutamente esasperata per costringerlo a combattere. Il Bulldog, di conseguenza, non doveva essere un cane cattivo, insensibile o incontrollabile, anzi..., però doveva essere facilmente eccitabile e soprattutto doveva essere molto sensibile alla eccitazione del suo padrone. Quindi non direi che ci sia stato un reale sforzo di trasformazione dell' Original Purebred Bulldog da parte degli eccezionali Allevatori Inglesi, che, di solito , raggiungono rapidamente e scientificamente i loro obiettivi. Invece, il Bulldog era classificato come razza da combattimento fino a pochissimi anni or sono. Effettuando una ipotesi molto personale possiamo dire, per certo, che nel 1835 divennero illegali i combattimenti e che l' evoluzione della razza verso un cane sempre più performante subì una brusca interruzione. Sappiamo che Philo Kuon preoccupato per questa rapida involuzione, anche numerica, cercò di fissare le caratteristiche del Bulldog Originale di Razza Pura utilizzando due famosi dipinti antecedenti il 1835. Sappiamo, inoltre, che, al contrario, il Bulldog era un cane leggendario e che era richiesto in tutto il mondo proprio per la sua abilità nel combattimento e nel lavoro, a tal punto che formando nuove razze, per essere sicuri del risultato veniva quasi sempre introdotto il migliore sangue Bulldog, come ad esempio nel Boxer. A questo punto risulta più plausibile cercare di comprendere le ragioni che portarono, in una tale situazione di mercato, con intense esportazioni, a rimanere, infine, con pochi Riproduttori di valore ( questi non dovevano più superare il probante esame del combattimento dove veniva realmente misurata la capacità di performance così come le medicine introdotte da Philo Kuon: lo Standard di Razza, le Esposizioni Canine e i Giudizi dei Giudici, troppo mutevoli, inadeguate o addirittura inattuabili, si rivelarono, invece, una lama a doppio taglio ) e, soprattutto, ad avere troppo poche femmine che assomigliassero a Rosa. In questa condizione critica potrebbe, a mio giudizio, essersi reso necessario, utilizzare altre fattrici, meno pure oppure di Carlino, Dogue de Bordeuax o Mastiff non con l'obiettivo di trasformare l' antico combattente ( considerato il migliore cane del mondo ), ma al contrario nel tentativo di modificarlo il meno possibile riuscendo a produrre un numero adeguato di cuccioli. Anche per questa per tendenza, a mio avviso, degli abilissimi Allevatori Inglesi il Bulldog Classico non è così differente dal Bulldog Originale come sembrerebbe, nonostante siano passati due secoli. Riassumendo: questa ipotesi di ragionamento individua nel mercato dei Riproduttori e , soprattutto, nelle Esposizioni Canine le principali cause della apparente scomparsa dell' Original Pure Breed Bulldog. Le ipotesi sul perchè e sul per come potrebbero essere infinite, però, l' unico dato storicamente accertabile, purtroppo, è che dopo 700 anni di Storia con combattimenti, invasioni barbariche, carestie, guerre e malattie furono sufficienti 20 anni di Esposizioni Canine, durante i quali non ci furono nè guerre e nè malattie, per determinarne la estinzione. Magari a Londra qualcuno voleva sottolineare il potere della capitale sul resto dell' Impero, oppure si resero semplicemente conto che il Bulldog rappresentava un ottimo business, ma avendo già venduto i riproduttori di qualità e le fattrici simili a Rosa, non rinunciarono al facile guadagno, a discapito degli allevatori delle contee rurali e dei cinofili, strumentalizzando le Esposizioni Canine e lo Standard di Razza, introducendo rapidamente quello che definirei il Bulldog di Londra, esteticamente un bellissimo cane( teoricamente avrebbe dovuto essere nei limiti del possibile assomigliante al Bulldog Originale, per batterlo in Esposizione senza destare sospetti, e, poi, modificare lievemente lo Standard, ma i due cani diventavano sempre più diversi), però era un Bulldog sostitutivo, con un futuro incerto, frutto di una selezione improvvisata o forzatamente affrettata, in definitiva, non abbastanza testato ( perchè dar credito ad un cane poco testato se si possiede il cane più testato del mondo? ), e con un carattere simile. Non a caso il Bulldog di Londra si è vantato fino a pochi anni fa di essere l'unico cane ad avere mantenuto lo stesso spirito e coraggio del Bulldog Originale. Quest' ultimo, battuto e offeso( le Esposizione Canine sancirono la ineluttabile vittoria del Bulldog di Londra e conclusero la Storia del Cane Migliore del Mondo per il quale le stesse erano state create, unitamente allo Standard di Razza), dalla sua stessa brutta copia, essendo colpevole di appartenere agli allevatori delle contee rurali o a qualche cinofilo, si rifugiò nel Lincolnshire ( una regione pianeggiante e molto ventilata), dove la Tradizione ne garantiva la sopravvivenza, dove era incominciata la sua lunga Storia, nel 13° secolo, lontano da Londra, dal Business e dalle Esposizioni Canine.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.the-bulldog.com/"&gt;http://www.the-bulldog.com/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/15704725-116324836943216501?l=bulldoginglese.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://bulldoginglese.blogspot.com/feeds/116324836943216501/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=15704725&amp;postID=116324836943216501' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/15704725/posts/default/116324836943216501'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/15704725/posts/default/116324836943216501'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://bulldoginglese.blogspot.com/2006/11/extinction-of-original-bulldog.html' title='THE EXTINCTION OF THE ORIGINAL BULLDOG.'/><author><name>bulldoginglesi</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07467680949767547390</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15704725.post-115936015955145299</id><published>2006-09-27T05:27:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2006-11-12T18:02:55.550-08:00</updated><title type='text'>INBREEDING</title><content type='html'>Per inbreeding si intende l' accoppiamento tra riproduttori legati da rapporti di parentela diretta: genitori e figli o fratelli. Premetto che vi sono casi in cui non sono state riscontrate conseguenze negative con l'uso prolungato dell' inbreeding. Questo esercita comunque un effetto sulle frequenze genotipiche portando alla progressiva eliminazione dei soggetti eterozigoti, riduce, inoltre la variabilità genetica entro la popolazione che quindi può risultare meno suscettibile ad una azione di miglioramento genetico. Ad esempio la cucciolata realmente eccezionale prodotta da Tuffnuts Snow Angel con Ch Ocobo Pearly Boy, era perfettamente eterogenea: aveva prodotto quattro Campioni tutti profondamente diversi (fenotipo) l'uno dall' altro ma con un eccezionale numero di qualità equamente ripartite, era, quindi molto facile ottenere un miglioramento genetico nella direzione desiderata. L' eccessivo utilizzo dell' inbreeding viene segnalato da un fenomeno chiamato depressione da inbreeding che potrebbe essere evidenziata dal declino della fertilità, dall' aumento della mortalità neonatale e giovanile o da un alto grado di cancri o malattie.Comunque gli animali “inbred” tollerano i trapianti reciproci di tessuto e sono fondamentali per lo studio dell’immunologia dei trapianti, questa tecnica è utile anche nelle sperimentazioni per ottenere una popolazione omogenea. Le razze canine sono state create con questo strumento ed, in ogni caso, un certo grado di consanguineità è necessario per poter fissare i caratteri al punto che l'incrocio tra due cani della stessa razza dovrebbe essere comunque considerato un inbreeding, avendo evidentemente un patrimonio genetico comune oltre che fenotipicamente simile: la razza stessa per mantenere se stessa opera costantemente sulla omozigosi dei soggetti. L' importante, a mio avviso è controllare il grado di questa omozigosi e cercare cucciolate in cui siano presenti il maggior numero di qualità o caratteristiche omogeneamente suddivise; potrebbe, inoltre, essere prudente effettuare qualche cucciolata in inbreeding, ogni tanto, per verificare lo stato del proprio allevamento e dei riproduttori.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.the-bulldog.com"&gt;http://www.the-bulldog.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/15704725-115936015955145299?l=bulldoginglese.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://bulldoginglese.blogspot.com/feeds/115936015955145299/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=15704725&amp;postID=115936015955145299' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/15704725/posts/default/115936015955145299'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/15704725/posts/default/115936015955145299'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://bulldoginglese.blogspot.com/2006/09/inbreeding.html' title='INBREEDING'/><author><name>bulldoginglesi</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07467680949767547390</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15704725.post-114725670118713984</id><published>2006-05-10T03:16:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2006-05-10T03:50:37.000-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Code of Ethics of The Bulldog Club of America</title><content type='html'>It is in this spirit that the &lt;strong&gt;Bulldog Club of America&lt;/strong&gt; expects adherence to the &lt;strong&gt;Code of Ethics&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Members of the BCA have an obligation to protect the welfare and the best interests of their breed by conducting themselves in a manner designed to reflect credit to themselves, their breed and the BCA.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Members who exhibit are expected to observe the highest standards of sportsmanship; conduct themselves in such a manner as to reflect positively on the sport of showing dogs; and exhibit goodwill at all shows and obedience trials.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Members who contemplate breeding a litter, or who allow the use of their stud dog for the same purpose shall direct their efforts toward producing dogs of quality, of even temperament, vigorous and free of health problems.

Così Harvey, un bulldog di pochi anni, ha pensato di darsela a gambe non appena il padrone, Johnny Vaughan, divo della televisione britannica, si fosse distratto. L'occasione per svignarsela è giunta proprio quando Vaughan è sceso dall'auto per far scendere il proprio cucciolone e portarlo alla visita medica di routine.&lt;br /&gt;"Ero in macchina con Harvey - ha spiegato il presentatore Tv - e lui era seduto al mio fianco. Ho lasciato il motore acceso e sono sceso, passando dal lato del passeggero per aprire la portiera e farlo scendere. Ma lui si è lanciato al posto di guida, ha spostato il cambio in marcia, ha girato il volante e poi ha schiacciato l'acceleratore".&lt;br /&gt;La fuga del cane è stata però molto breve. La sua tipica guida da cane gli è stata infatti fatale. Harvey, a bordo di una Maserati 3200GT da 100mila sterline, si è schiantato contro un furgone parcheggiato poco distante. "Non è colpa mia - ha detto Vaughan ai poliziotti giunti sul luogo dell'incidente - è stato il mio cane a guidare l'automobile e a provocare l'incidente".&lt;br /&gt;Gli agenti, compresa l'insolita situazione, si sono limitati a constatare l'incidente e a fare un piccolo verbale al proprietario del cane. Per quanto riguarda la Maserati, secondo la perizia dell'assicuratore, avrebbe riportato danni per un totale di 11mila sterline che Vaughan però dovrà sborsare di propria tasca.&lt;br /&gt;La compagnia assicurativa, infatti, ha risposto picche alla richiesta di risarcimento. Il motivo? "Harvey non ha la patente", pertanto l'assicurazione non pagherà una sola sterlina.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;a href="http://notizie2.tiscali.it/stranomavero/articoli/2005/cane_scappa_con_auto.html"&gt;http://notizie2.tiscali.it/stranomavero/articoli/2005/cane_scappa_con_auto.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/15704725-114132876494946507?l=bulldoginglese.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://bulldoginglese.blogspot.com/feeds/114132876494946507/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=15704725&amp;postID=114132876494946507' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/15704725/posts/default/114132876494946507'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/15704725/posts/default/114132876494946507'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://bulldoginglese.blogspot.com/2006/03/bulldog-scappa-con-lauto-del-padrone.html' title='Bulldog scappa con l&apos;auto del padrone ma si schianta contro un furgone'/><author><name>bulldoginglesi</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07467680949767547390</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15704725.post-113458114703373780</id><published>2005-12-14T09:24:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2005-12-18T09:34:18.313-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Video:skate boarding bulldog</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=6046597119197756715"&gt;&lt;img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/2514/1755/400/bulldog.0.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/15704725-113458114703373780?l=bulldoginglese.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://bulldoginglese.blogspot.com/feeds/113458114703373780/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=15704725&amp;postID=113458114703373780' title='7 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/15704725/posts/default/113458114703373780'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/15704725/posts/default/113458114703373780'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://bulldoginglese.blogspot.com/2005/12/videoskate-boarding-bulldog.html' title='Video:skate boarding bulldog'/><author><name>bulldoginglesi</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07467680949767547390</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>7</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15704725.post-113453757162418257</id><published>2005-12-13T21:13:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2005-12-13T21:29:29.066-08:00</updated><title type='text'>The Canadian Kennel Club</title><content type='html'>· The Canadian Kennel Club supports dangerous and vicious dog legislation in order to provide the most appropriate protection for the general public and the innocent dog owner.

Around the world, communities (and even whole governments) are enacting laws based on the misguided belief that a dog’s breed is responsible for its behaviour.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Experts know that dog breeds are identical to human races. When we assume negative things about all members of a race, we call that racism. Breed Specific Legislation is the canine version of racism. It is discrimination based on ignorance.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What we do know about dog breeds is this: some are favoured over others for specific purposes. People wanting a herding dog, for example, will usually look at the herding breeds, even though it is entirely possible to find good herding dogs amongst other breeds. Similarly, those who hope their dogs will be “good guard dogs” are more likely to buy larger dogs with guarding or fighting histories. They’re also more likely to encourage behaviours which lead to aggression, under the spurious assumption that an aggressive dog is the same as a protection-trained dog.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;No reputable agencies support breed bans.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Any dog can be encouraged to be aggressive. No breed of dog is without its fair share of biting incidents. Even fatal dog attacks include a member from every group of dog breeds. (Yes. Even Toy breeds.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.goodpooch.com/BSL/governments.htm"&gt;http://www.goodpooch.com/BSL/governments.htm&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/15704725-113453664367213107?l=bulldoginglese.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://bulldoginglese.blogspot.com/feeds/113453664367213107/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=15704725&amp;postID=113453664367213107' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/15704725/posts/default/113453664367213107'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/15704725/posts/default/113453664367213107'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://bulldoginglese.blogspot.com/2005/12/breed-specific-legislation-around.html' title='Breed Specific Legislation Around The World'/><author><name>bulldoginglesi</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07467680949767547390</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15704725.post-113453353022518035</id><published>2005-12-13T20:07:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2005-12-13T20:18:23.653-08:00</updated><title type='text'>14 Breeds Recognized as "Ancient"</title><content type='html'>New Breakthrough in Dog Genetics&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When reading about the new research published in May 2004 on the "genetic fingerprints" of 85 popular purebred dogs, I decided to update the material that I posted on Sibernet-L on April 5, 2004, responding to a question about whether Siberian Huskies are "&lt;span&gt;closer to wolves&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.workingdogweb.com/RSH-2004-1.htm"&gt;"&lt;/a&gt; than any other breed of dog. The article below is important to breeders and fanciers of all 14 breeds listed as "ancient," given the worldwide publicity this new study is receiving.&lt;br /&gt;An important breakthrough in understanding purebred dogs occurred this month with researchers announcing that what are essentially “genetic fingerprints” for 85 pure breeds of dogs have been determined with a high level of accuracy, thus establishing pure breeds of dogs as “distinct genetic units.”&lt;br /&gt;The research, supported in part by the AKC Canine Health Foundation, was done by analyzing various distinctive elements of the nuclear DNA of the dog genome.&lt;br /&gt;This article is of special interest to owners of these breeds: · Afghan Hound· Akita· Alaskan Malamute· Basenji· Chow Chow· Lhasa Apso· Pekingese· Saluki· Samoyed· Shar-pei· Shiba Inu· Shih Tzu· Siberian Husky· Tibetian Terrier.&lt;br /&gt;Researchers reported their findings in the article “Genetic Structure of the Purebred Domestic Dog” in the journal Science, Volume 304, on May 21, 2004.&lt;br /&gt;The findings are expected to be valuable for further research on both canine and human health, the researchers say, since different breeds of dogs experience many of the same diseases that people do.&lt;br /&gt;One aspect of the study is especially fascinating for those who breed and own any of the 14 breeds determined to be in an "ancient" group. The so-called genetic fingerprints of these breeds show considerable similarity to those of the wolves included in the study. These 14 breeds now believed to be very old range from the Pekingese to the Saluki to the Siberian Husky.&lt;br /&gt;On the one hand, this outcome supports the theories that the dog was domesticated in East Asia and spread out from there across Eurasia and into Africa and the Americas.&lt;br /&gt;Of the 14 breeds grouped as "ancient" in the new study, 10 have homelands in Asia, including China, for the Chow Chow, for example; in Japan, for the Akita; or in Siberia, for the Samoyed and Siberian Husky. In addition, the Alaskan Malamute is shown to be very closely related to the Siberian Husky, and its place of origin is far western Alaska, across the Bering Strait from the homeland of the Siberian Husky’s ancestors. Finally, several breeds in the group of 14 are associated with Africa, namely the Basenji, or with western Asia, namely the Afghan Hound and Saluki.&lt;br /&gt;Seeing these ancestral relations among these breeds provides breakthough insights for those doing breed histories based on scientific as well as traditional historical research, including myself.&lt;br /&gt;The 14 dog breeds with "genetic fingerprints" said to be  similar to those of wolves are: · Afghan Hound · Akita · Alaskan Malamute · Basenji · Chow Chow · Lhasa Apso · Pekingese&lt;br /&gt;· Saluki· Samoyed· Shar-pei· Shiba Inu· Shih Tzu· Siberian Husky· Tibetian Terrier&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.workingdogweb.com/RSH-2004-2.htm"&gt;http://www.workingdogweb.com/RSH-2004-2.htm&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/15704725-113453353022518035?l=bulldoginglese.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://bulldoginglese.blogspot.com/feeds/113453353022518035/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=15704725&amp;postID=113453353022518035' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/15704725/posts/default/113453353022518035'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/15704725/posts/default/113453353022518035'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://bulldoginglese.blogspot.com/2005/12/14-breeds-recognized-as-ancient.html' title='14 Breeds Recognized as &quot;Ancient&quot;'/><author><name>bulldoginglesi</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07467680949767547390</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15704725.post-113453198377397882</id><published>2005-12-13T19:44:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2005-12-13T19:50:45.143-08:00</updated><title type='text'>'Ugly dog' Sam dies at 14</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/3736/1462/1600/samuglydog.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="FLOAT: right;

Annual expenses like food, regular vet care, grooming, pet sitting, toys and treats, are about $2,489, the group said.&lt;br /&gt;A $2 goldfish, which won't require a walk in mid-January when it's two degrees outside and snowing, costs just $35 in the first year, the ASPCA estimates. The cost of a 3-gallon tank brings the total to about $70. To be fair, though, Nemo's a lot harder to hug than Lassie.&lt;br /&gt;Purebred pooches usually have the steepest start-up fees, and, like the latest Birkin bag, trendy, in-demand dog breeds can fetch sky-high prices. The squat, bat-eared, so-ugly-it's-cute French Bulldog - the current "It Dog" of Manhattan's canine set - can cost from $1,500 to $3,000, said American Kennel Club spokeswoman Gina Lash.&lt;br /&gt;A puppy's pedigree helps set the price. The offspring of, say, "Ch. Kan-Point's VJK Autumn Roses," the German Shorthaired Pointer (nicknamed "Carlee") who won the top award at this year's Westminster Kennel Club show, will cost more than a dog whose parents are any random "Buddy" or "Fifi," Lash said.&lt;br /&gt;If you're thinking that a smaller dog will come with a smaller price tag, think again. Mini-dogs like Chihuahuas, Pugs and Pomeranians may only have two to three puppies each time. Big dogs, like Great Danes, Dobermans and Golden Retrievers can have eight to 10 puppies per litter.&lt;br /&gt;That smaller supply of puppies means breeders can jack up prices.&lt;br /&gt;Per pound of lovable fluff, a French bulldog on average will cost you at least $75 per pound, and a Chihuahua, often priced at $1,000 or more, can easily cost $300 per pound (not that you'd buy them the same way you would cold cuts).&lt;br /&gt;A Golden Retriever, a breed that starts at around $1,000 for a "pet-quality" purebred pup, will cost only about $15 per pound.&lt;br /&gt;"If there are fewer out there, and they're harder to find, they're more expensive," Lash said. "Just like a rare car is more expensive than a regular car."&lt;br /&gt;Besides the initial cost of purchasing exclusive breeds, they can cost more to maintain.&lt;br /&gt;The long locks of a Maltese, a Shih Tzu or an Old English Sheepdog can cost plenty of time and money. At Le Chien Pet Salon on the upper East Side, getting your Maltese groomed (which includes a hot oil treatment) will set you back $120. With monthly visits, you could rack up a bill of $1,440 a year.&lt;br /&gt;Short-haired dogs may not be as low-maintenance as they look. "People make the mistake of thinking they don't have to wash Bulldogs as much," said Edward Alva, Le Chien's business manager. Because of their wrinkles, Bulldogs without regular cleaning are prone to irritation and bacterial infections in their skin folds, he said.&lt;br /&gt;Another cost to consider is doggie day care.&lt;br /&gt;Keeping two medium-sized dogs at the New York Dog Spa &amp; Hotel five days a week will total more than $20,000 annually - nearing the $26,680 a year it could cost to send your Kindergartner to the tony private school Dalton.&lt;br /&gt;Joel Limenes bought Poncho for $700 through an advertisement on Craig's List. Just four months later, the Pug needed a $1,600 operation for an ulcer on his cornea. "We knew these dogs have trouble with their eyes sometimes," the 37-year-old trade consultant said. Limenes' $29-a-month pet insurance covered only about a quarter of the vet fees. "He has cost more than I ever expected."&lt;br /&gt;But investing in a dog may yield a return that's more than financial. In 1999, a researcher at the State University of New York in Buffalo studying hypertensive New York stockbrokers found that those with dogs were more likely to keep their blood pressure down in stressful situations than their petless peers.&lt;br /&gt;And dog owners say you can't put a price tag on what their pets give back.&lt;br /&gt;Restaurant owner Galila Huff said she spends thousands of dollars a month on Chi, her $1,500 Chihuahua, buying things like $69 gumball-sized booties. "It's a lot of money, but who cares?" Huff said as Chi raced around her in an upper West Side dog run. "It's love."&lt;br /&gt;Hot dogs&lt;br /&gt;Prices for most popular canine companions.&lt;br /&gt;1. Dachshund: Standard (12-32 pounds) - $900 to $1,000; Miniature (under 11 pounds) - $1,200 to $1,500.&lt;br /&gt;2. Labrador Retriever: $1,000 to $1,500.&lt;br /&gt;3.

A dare la notizia Nick Jeffery della University of Cambridge sul magazine New Scientist. E mentre l'esperto e' fiducioso che la stessa pratica possa funzionare sull'uomo e conta di iniziare delle sperimentazioni cliniche nel giro di due anni, dall'Australia giunge la notizia che altri ricercatori ci stanno gia' provando e pubblicheranno i loro risultati clinici entro il 2007.Le cellule trasferite nella porzione di midollo lesionata sono parte della glia di rivestimento olfattorio, si trovano alla base del naso e sono le uniche cellule nervose in continua rigenerazione. I ricercatori le hanno estratte aprendo il cranio degli animali e poi le hanno moltiplicate in laboratorio, infine le hanno iniettate nel midollo spinale dei loro pazienti a quattro zampe.Alcuni dei cani hanno mostrato di riacquistare una sia pure parziale capacita' di movimento, almeno tre cani sembravano aver riacquistato coscienza della loro necessita' di urinare.Anche se sono solo piccoli passi, ha riferito Jeffery, questo esperimento e' molto pertinente alla situazione umana. Certo, ha ammesso l'esperto, e' necessario trovare una fonte alternativa di queste cellule nervose per evitare l'intervento di estrazione eseguito in questo lavoro, che potrebbe avere effetti collaterali. A tal proposito i ricercatori stanno studiando al momento un nuovo tipo di cellule staminali individuate nella mucosa nasale che potrebbero fare al caso loro, ovvero potrebbero essere trasformate in laboratorio nelle cellule di cui loro hanno bisogno per riparare il midollo spinale.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://staminali.aduc.it/php_newsshow_0_4319.html"&gt;http://staminali.aduc.it/php_newsshow_0_4319.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/15704725-113422970528478870?l=bulldoginglese.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://bulldoginglese.blogspot.com/feeds/113422970528478870/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=15704725&amp;postID=113422970528478870' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/15704725/posts/default/113422970528478870'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/15704725/posts/default/113422970528478870'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://bulldoginglese.blogspot.com/2005/12/trapiantati-neuroni-sul-midollo.html' title='Trapiantati neuroni sul midollo lesionato di cani'/><author><name>bulldoginglesi</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07467680949767547390</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15704725.post-113412098295413234</id><published>2005-12-09T01:35:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2005-12-09T01:42:58.566-08:00</updated><title type='text'>La scelta del cucciolo del Bulldog Inglese/ English Bulldog: how to choice a puppy.</title><content type='html'>Secondo il mio punto di vista, valutando che l' allevamento Tuffnuts Snow Angel, in fin dei conti, è l' espressione di un esperto giudice, il migliore, Mr. Les Thorpe, il Presidente del British Bulldog Club, sembra ovvio, dare priorità assoluta nella selezione al dinamismo, al movimento e allo stato di salute, senza trascurare l' importanza della testa e delle proporzioni. In questo senso, oltre a selezionare il classico bulldog ipertipico, ricerco, nelle mie cucciolate, il vero bulldog inglese con tipo normale, in grado di muoversi, di accoppiarsi, di partorire e di vivere normalmente. Inoltre, secondo me, un cane con un eccezionale dinamismo dotato di un movimento eccezionale è un cane in piena salute ed è, morfologicamente, molto corretto. A mio avviso, quindi, non essendo, o non essendo stato, un eccezionale allevatore, non potendo effettuare una scelta per "riconoscimento", esperienza, scegliendo il cucciolo dotato del miglior movimento non si sbaglia, quasi, mai. Se poi consideriamo che nella razza Bulldog sono frequenti i disturbi articolari la scelta rimane, pressochè, obbligata.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tuffnuts Snow Angel Bulldogs&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/15704725-113412098295413234?l=bulldoginglese.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://bulldoginglese.blogspot.com/feeds/113412098295413234/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=15704725&amp;postID=113412098295413234' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/15704725/posts/default/113412098295413234'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/15704725/posts/default/113412098295413234'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://bulldoginglese.blogspot.com/2005/12/la-scelta-del-cucciolo-del-bulldog_09.html' title='La scelta del cucciolo del Bulldog Inglese/ English Bulldog: how to choice a puppy.'/><author><name>bulldoginglesi</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07467680949767547390</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15704725.post-113394719310102321</id><published>2005-12-07T01:18:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2005-12-07T01:31:35.946-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Plight of scorched puppies touches dog lovers' hearts</title><content type='html'>Monday's story in The News-Times about the two 11-week-old male puppies who survived a fire and needed homes had the Brookfield High School teacher reaching for the phone.&lt;br /&gt;The English teacher even told her class about it and showed the story to the students.&lt;br /&gt;"They're very excited," Bonavita said Thursday. "I'd love to be considered. We already have two pugs and a retired Labrador retriever guiding eye dog, but my son has always wanted a bulldog."&lt;br /&gt;The Bonavitas aren't alone.&lt;br /&gt;In all, more than 100 prospective owners have called in since the Plumtrees Animal Hospital in Danbury first reported the puppies' plight.&lt;br /&gt;The pups, one a boxer and the other an English bulldog, were taken to the hospital for treatment last month and are still recovering from surgery to repair skin damaged by the fire.&lt;br /&gt;"We're not going to release either dog until we know for sure whether any further surgery is required," said hospital owner and veterinarian Dr. Fred Baff. "We're talking about 10 days to two weeks. We want to be sure all the skin is going to heal."&lt;br /&gt;Still, in spite of their injuries, Baff said both dogs have been eating and sleeping well and his prognosis remains favorable.&lt;br /&gt;Baff's staff has aptly named the boxer Barbecue and the bulldog A-1.&lt;br /&gt;Barbecue and A-1 were among 59 puppies and five kittens inside the American Breeders pet store in Mohegan Lake, N.Y., when the building caught fire Nov.14.&lt;br /&gt;They, and 46 other puppies and kittens, survived after being rescued by firefighters.

Sturkey)</title><content type='html'>Thanks to the German Army, the U.S. Marine Corps has an unofficial mascot. During World War I many German reports had called the attacking Marines "teufel-hunden," meaning Devil-Dogs. Teufel-hunden were the vicious, wild, and ferocious mountain dogs of Bavarian folklore.&lt;br /&gt;Soon afterward a U.S. Marine recruiting poster depicted a snarling English Bulldog wearing a Marine Corps helmet. Because of the tenacity and demeanor of the breed, the image took root with both the Marines and the public. The Marines soon unofficially adopted the English Bulldog as their mascot.&lt;br /&gt;At the Marine base at Quantico, Virginia, the Marines obtained a registered English Bulldog, King Bulwark. In a formal ceremony on 14 October 1922, BGen. Smedley D. Butler signed documents enlisting the bulldog, renamed Jiggs, for the "term of life." Pvt. Jiggs then began his official duties in the U.S. Marine Corps.&lt;br /&gt;A hard-charging Marine, Pvt. Jiggs did not remain a private for long. Within three months he was wearing corporal chevrons on his custom-made uniform. On New Years Day 1924, Jiggs was promoted to Sergeant. And in a meteoric rise, he got promoted again -- this time to Sergeant Major -- seven months later.&lt;br /&gt;SgtMaj. Jiggs' death on 9 January 1927 was mourned throughout the Corps. His satin-lined coffin lay in state in a hangar at Quantico, surrounded by flowers from hundreds of Corps admirers. He was interred with full military honors.&lt;br /&gt;But, a replacement was on the way. Former heavyweight boxing champion, James J. "Gene" Tunney, who had fought with the Marines in France, donated his English Bulldog. Renamed as Jiggs II, he stepped into the role of his predecessor.&lt;br /&gt;Big problem! No discipline! Jiggs chased people, he bit people. He showed a total lack of respect for authority. The new Jiggs would have likely made an outstanding combat Marine, but barracks life did not suit him. After one of his many rampages, he died of heat exhaustion on 1928. Nonetheless, other bulldogs followed. During the 1930s, 1940s, and early 1950s they were all named Smedley, a tribute to Gen. Butler.&lt;br /&gt;In the late 1950s the Marine Barracks in Washington, the oldest post in the Corps, became the new home for the Corps' mascot. Renamed Chesty to honor the legendary LtGen. Lewis B. "Chesty" Puller Jr., the mascot made his first formal public appearance at the Evening Parade on 5 July 1957. In his canine Dress Blues, Chesty became an immediate media darling, a smash hit!&lt;br /&gt;After the demise of the original Chesty, the replacement was named Chesty II. He became an instant renegade. You name it, he did it. He even escaped and went AWOL once. Two days later he was returned in a police paddy wagon. About the only thing he ever managed to do correctly was to sire a replacement.&lt;br /&gt;In contrast to his father, Chesty III proved to be a model Marine. He even became a favorite of neighborhood children, for which he was awarded a Good Conduct Medal. Other bulldogs would follow Chesty III (bulldogs don't live long). When Chesty VI died after an Evening Parade, a Marine detachment in Tennessee called Washington. Their local bulldog mascot, LCpl. Bodacious Little, was standing by for PCS orders to Washington, they reported.&lt;br /&gt;Upon arrival at the Marine Barracks in Washington, LCpl. Little got ceremoniously renamed Chesty VII. He and the English Bulldogs who followed him epitomize the fighting spirit of the U.S. Marines. Tough, muscular, aggressive, fearless, and often arrogant, they are the ultimate canine warriors.&lt;br /&gt;English Bulldogs. Teufel-hunden. Devil Dogs. They symbolize the ethos of the Warrior Culture of the U.S. Marines.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.usmcpress.com/heritage/marine_corps_mascot.htm"&gt;http://www.usmcpress.com/heritage/marine_corps_mascot.htm&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/15704725-113394391043148501?l=bulldoginglese.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://bulldoginglese.blogspot.com/feeds/113394391043148501/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=15704725&amp;postID=113394391043148501' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/15704725/posts/default/113394391043148501'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/15704725/posts/default/113394391043148501'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://bulldoginglese.blogspot.com/2005/12/bulldog-marine-corps-mascot-excerpt.html' title='Bulldog Marine Corps Mascot:  (excerpt from Warrior Culture of the U.S. Marines, copyright 2001 Marion F.

chief veterinary officer of Crufts and a vet with 40 years' experience - told the inquest it was probable Missy was suffering from a phantom pregnancy at the time of the attack and wrongly believed she had puppies.&lt;br /&gt;He said: "The approach of Liam crawling towards her would be perceived as a threat and there would be a natural reaction.&lt;br /&gt;"The dog behaved in the only way it could and guarded its personal space."&lt;br /&gt;Powerful jaws&lt;br /&gt;Mr Turner stressed Missy was an American Bulldog, not an American Pit Bull, and therefore not subject to the controls outlined in the Dangerous Dogs Act.&lt;br /&gt;He said Missy had extremely powerful jaws with a bite pressure eight to 10 times that of a human.&lt;br /&gt;Mr Turner said he would not advise any family to take in a large rescue dog without fully checking its history, and also giving it at least a year to settle in before introducing another dog.&lt;br /&gt;West Yorkshire Coroner David Hinchliff told the court: "This is the time of the year people will acquire pets.&lt;br /&gt;"I think the advice is that, though it's laudable to get rescue animals, it may be the younger the better so the child and the dog grow up together."&lt;br /&gt;Mr Hinchliff said parents should also get as much information as possible about rescue dogs' backgrounds before buying them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/west_yorkshire/4500566.stm"&gt;http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/west_yorkshire/4500566.stm&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/15704725-113394218370148479?l=bulldoginglese.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://bulldoginglese.blogspot.com/feeds/113394218370148479/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=15704725&amp;postID=113394218370148479' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/15704725/posts/default/113394218370148479'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/15704725/posts/default/113394218370148479'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://bulldoginglese.blogspot.com/2005/12/child-killed-by-familys-pet-dog-bbc.html' title='Child killed by family&apos;s pet dog / BBC news'/><author><name>bulldoginglesi</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07467680949767547390</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15704725.post-113393095298156291</id><published>2005-12-06T20:45:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2005-12-06T20:49:13.173-08:00</updated><title type='text'>CANI AGGRESSIVI: SCENDONO A 17 LE RAZZE PERICOLOSE</title><content type='html'>(ANSA) - ROMA, 2 dic - Scendono a 17, rispetto alle 18 indicate lo scorso anno, le razze di cani ritenuti pericolosi e per i quali si conferma il divieto di addestramento al fine di esaltarne l'aggressivita'. Dalla categoria dei cani pericolosi e' infatti stato escluso il mastino napoletano. Lo stabilisce la nuova ordinanza in materia firmata dal ministro della Salute Francesco Storace.Dell'elenco delle razze canine e dei loro incroci a rischio di maggiore aggressivita' fanno parte: american bulldog, cane da pastore di Charplanina, cane da pastore dell'Anatolia, cane da pastore dell'Asia centrale, cane da pastore del Caucaso, canme da Serra da Estreilla, dogo argentino, fila brazileiro, perro da canapo majoero, perro da presa canario, perro da presa Mallorquin, pit bull, pitt bull mastiff, pit bull terrier, rafeiro do alentejo, rottweiler, tosa inu.L'ordinanza, che avra' valore di un anno, vieta l'addestramento teso ad esaltare il rischio di maggiore aggressivita' dei cani pitbull e delle altre razze indicate, oltre che pratiche di doping e qualsiasi operazione di selezione o di incrocio tra razze di cani con lo scopo di svilupparne l'aggresivita'. Nel provvedimento si specifica, inoltre, che i proprietari hanno l'obbligo di applicare la museruola o il guinzaglio ai cani quando si trovano nelle vie o in altri luoghi aperti al pubblico, nei locali pubblici e nei pubblici mezzi di trasporto. E' tra l'altro fatto divieto di possedere cani a chi e' sottoposto a misura di prevenzione o di sicurezza personale, a chi abbia riportato condanna per delitto non colposo contro la persona o contro il patrimonio, ai minori di 18 anni e agli interdetti per infermita'. Chiunque possegga cani ha poi l'obbligo di stipulare una polizza di assicurazione di responsabilita' civile per danni causati dal proprio cane contro terzi. Da tali obblighi, si precisa infine nell'ordinanza, sono esclusi i cani in dotazione alle Forze armate, di Polizia, di Protezione civile e dei Vigili del fuoco.
