Dog Breed: American Hirsch Hound

Dog Entry Class: Realistic Breeds

Breed Creator: Cyan Jackson

History of the Breed: 
The American Hirsch Hound has been around only for a couple of years now, created by Cyan Jackson, owner and founder of Arketa kennels. The AHH descended from the American Staffordshire Terrier, American Pit Bull Terrier, Doberman Pinscher, and the Pharaoh Hound. These breeds were specifically chosen to produce a lean, muscular dog who is not afraid of a challenge while housing some serious intelligence, and a dog that is completely capable of being a lap dog. Sports for this dog to compete in is diverse but they are generally used as lure coursing dogs, Schutzhunde, Rally O, Flyball, and most of all: Tracking. Because this breed is hardy, complete maturation is earlier than some breeds at the age of eight months and can learn basic to moderate commands at 7 to 8 weeks of age. This breed is outstandingly healthy and can become immune to many illnesses at a young age, and after a year of the breed's existence, interbreeding this breed with past generations is forbidden.

Brief Standard:
General Appearance:
The appearance of the Hirsch Hound is that of a medium-sized dog with a graceful, smooth body, including a muscular, lean build. The Hirsch Hound ranges from 28-32 inches, bitches being considerably smaller or the same. The expression should be fierce and enthusiastic with piercing eyes.


Temperament:
The temperament of the Hirsch Hound should typically be energetic, alert, loyal, intelligent, and willing to listen. Hirsch Hounds are generally well mannered around children and small animals but adult supervision is advised because of how energetic this dog is.


Color:
Hirsch Hounds come in a variety of colors including: all doberman colorations, blue, red, fawn, sable, tan, chesnut, black, white, and brown. White markings allowed are: mantle, pied, color-headed white, and various other facial and foot markings. Brindle is also a possibility but is rarely genetic and happens randomly. The most desired coat color is any doberman coloration, fawn, and tan although having a color other than these do not deduct points. Dalmatian spots or ticking should never appear on the dog.

Dog Breed: Patagonian Dog

Dog Entry Class: Realistic Breeds

Breed Creator: Nahuel and Malinka Filu

History of the Breed:

The Patagonian Dog, referred to as the "Perro Patagonico" or "Perro de la Patagonia" in Spanish, originates in the namesake region in Argentina and was developed as a protector and guardian of herds of sheep. Due to the widespread activity of sheep farmers and problematic issue of wild dogs and pumas stalking and diminishing the herds, a man by the name of Nahuel Filu sought to breed a large, strong-boned dog, adaptable to the harsh, dry climate at the base of the Andes mountains that could protect his flock from predators and have the resistance and ability to herd his sheep over long distances. 

He started out with a stock of three Saint Bernards, which he bred to the Newfoundland, German Shepherd Dog, Bouvier des Flandres, Central Asian Shepherd, Greater Swiss Mountain Dog, Pointer and even the English Bulldog. It is believed that the influence of the Bulldog produced the characteristic bob tail of the breed.

Around the 1940's, these interesting and well-planned crosses produced a heavy-built, bear-like dog with a very gentle demeanor, which made it the focus of interest of Filu's sister, Malinka Filu. Malinka Filu had a daughter who refused to talk since she was born. One day Malinka visited Nahuel at his chacra with the little five-year-old Isabel and became shocked when she found her daughter hiding in the barn whispering to one of her brother's giant dogs. The developing breed was later crossed with Golden Retrievers, where the dogs' eagerness to please was accentuated.

With Malinka and Nahuel's work, the Patagonian Dog steadily grew in popularity among lifestock farmers, search and rescue groups, and organizations that looked to assist disabled persons, specially children. Their fluffy, bear-like appearance and high tolerance towards children made these dogs the "hug-able" object of children and earned them the nickname of "Nana Dogs", referencing the Saint Bernard that looked after the Darling children in J.M. Barrie's Peter Pan.

Today, the Patagonian Dog is still the sheep farmer's loyal companion, always following the herds. Their distinct coat colors enables the farmer to be able to spot the dog among so many livestock. Their versatility has made them the ideal all-around working breed, and you can still see them searching for lost skiers in the snow, walking by with a young child clinging to their thick fur and even standing regally besides Firefighters and Policemen.

Brief Standard:

The Patagonian Dog is a large dog with a strong bone structure. It is slightly longer than it is tall (about 10% more). It's massive build is exagerated by the dense fur. It is large but in now way stocky. The head is carried forward giving a hunched-over impression, specially when in a sitting position and the tail is always a bob tail, never cropped. It has a bear-like appearance due to prominent shoulder blades. There is no apparent sexual dimorphism, but males are usually taller than females.

The allowed colors are black and any other shade between dark brown and light fawn; in a piebald pattern or with other white markings including but not limited to Irish or flashy markings like the ones seen in Boxers and Border Collies, and plain white markings (includes little white in some areas like the neck, chest and toes). All Patagonian Dogs must have either a black, tan, brown or red mask that contrasts with the base color. The only exception to this is when a black mask appears on a black dog. In this case the mask is camouflaged by the base color. Ticking is allowed. 

Rarely seen: sable coat color with the above mentioned markings.

Dog Breed: Terrier Pampeano

Dog Entry Class: Realistic Breeds

Breed Creator: Juan Manuel Victoriano

History of the Breed:

It's origin lies in the vast Pampa region of Argentina where the expanse of the land allows for farming and cattle ranches among other agricultural practices. The founding family, the Victorianos, owned farmland in this region for generations and had used sighthounds and guard dogs for years as companions and working dogs to aid in the daily chores. Juan Manuel Victoriano looked to combine the sighthounds' speed with terriers' tenacity to produce a fast dog capable of tracing and chasing rabbits deep into their burrows and fending off foxes, wild dogs and other small predators from the Victoriano's livestock and chickens. The breeds involved in the crosses that made up the Pampa Terrier were the Greyhound and Irish Wolfhound for speed, the Airedale Terrier and Staffordshire Bull Terrier for tenacity and chasing instict (as well herding instict associated sometimes with the Airedale), the Weimaraner for it's depenedency and loyalty towards its owner (and to outbreed in some degree the independent manner, influeneced by the Airedale), the Doberman Pinscher and Standard Schnauzer for their protective insticts and so that the cross breeding would eradicate some health issues that had begun to arise. It is a very recent breed, with its development beginnning in the early 1970's, reaching refinement in the 80's and finally being accepted by the FCA (Federacion de Cinofilia Argentina) in 1994.

Brief Standard:

The Terrier Pampeano resembles a sighthound of medium size with a wiry or smooth terrier coat. It is proportionate in all aspects with the head tending only slightly towards a bigger size. Despite its sighthound influence it is mesocephalic with a barely perceptible stop separating the muzzle from the craneal region. It's build should favor small predator hunting, including the chase and following it to its burrow.

As a terrier, this dog is unusually dependant of its master, alert with an eagerness to please that is more characteristic of a gun-dog. Howeverit proves challenging to train as they are very energetic dogs with low attention spans. As their appearance suggests, they are of a calm and quiet nature within the home. On the hunt they should show the typical tenacity and hunting instict of a terrier.

Accepted colors include black, red, fawn, fallow, grey, white, blue, isabella, black and tan, red and tan, blue and tan and isabella and tan. All with varying degrees of white. Maybe range from plain white markings to piebald, although the latter is least preffered. Rarely seen: sable. Not acceptable: brindle.

Dog Breed: Himalayan Alpine Terrier (a.k.a Sihna Tusara, a.k.a Hattie, a.k.a HAT)

Dog Entry Class: Realistic Breeds

Breed Creator: Conchobhar Ryan

History of the Breed:
Conchobhar (con+r) Ryan, an adventurer from Ireland, was born January 2nd, 1880, and started travelling around the world at the age of 15 in 1895. He traveled from his own country's Mount Carrauntoohil to Japan's Mount Fuji. He loved the mountain air as it was crisp, clear, and cold and he found peace in the mountains. But alas, he decided to venture Mount Everest in the Himalayas in 1910 at the age of 30 where he was struck in the face by a medium-sized boulder which propelled him down the rocky mountainside. Fortunately, he made it out himself, injured, and was taken to the hospital where he undergone surgery on his face, left arm, and left hip. Ligaments had to be removed which shortened his arm and his dream of climbing Everest- or any mountain- crumbled.
Many people visited him and praised him for his bravery and he allowed a visitor from Germany's service dog in his room. He was astounded: it was a glossy, black giant schnauzer. He was informed that that same dog has sired puppies out of a great Dane dam. He acquired one when the little pup was eleven weeks old to keep him company in the hospital and he named the pup Ghearmain.
Three years after Ryan left the hospital with now older Ghearmain, Ryan bred the schnauzer/great Dane mix with a dog that looked like today's Ibizan hound on one of his travels. Nearly all of the puppies turned out flat coated, but one caught Ryan's eye: a silkier, rough-coated pup with wavy strands of puppy fur around the behind. He was amazed by the beautiful pup and claimed him. He was white and glossy just like Ghearmain. He grew to be a large, lean, and muscular dog with upright ears and the most amazing coat ever seen on a dog, Ryan's opinion. The undercoat of the dog was wavy and glossy while the outer coat was long and silky. and paws on the thing were enormous! Ryan took Ghearmain and the pup, now almost a year old and named Alo, everywhere with him. Alo was quick in the heavy snow and his powerful hindquarters allowed him to leap effortlessly. His nose was small, but was turned downwards to avoid frostbite and to funnel in any warm air in the atmosphere. His muscular build and thick double-coat allowed him to keep in warmth and he almost never stopped to catch a breath in the throat-burning cold air. Ryan attempted climbing the great Mount Everest once more. He took Alo along with him on the dangerous hike, but left Ghearmain in the cabin to avoid freezing. During the trek, Alo sniffed and spotted a more hollow spot in the snow that could have caused a small avalanche or another boulder-fall. Alo turned Ryan around and was a trusty spotter in the bright, white snow. Now 2016, Alo has passed on, but his legacy continued when Ghearmain's younger brother was bred to a hound-like/Great Dane and Alo was bred to the the pup that looked most similar to him, making the breed grow larger.

Brief Standard:
General Appearance:
The Himalayan Alpine Terrier is that of a large breed with a rustic, built structure, partially covered by a glossy, silky, and long double-coat that coats the dog like a lion's mane. Dogs are generally 28-30 inches while bitches range from 23-29 inches at the shoulder and can be distributed by their identifiable black points as they have less body fat to keep them warm, they must have black legs, tail tip, and ear tips to be desirable and of course to be warm. Females may also have a black saddle of any size but they must never extend to the face. 

Temperament:
HAT's have a willing-to-please, energetic, playful, and attentive attitude and don't mind welcoming new pets into the household. They learn commands very easily but depending on the command's level of difficulty, you may need to take it slow for your HAT to fully understand what you want from him. HAT's are also very hyper dogs and since they're very large, they are not recommended for younger children or a very small animals, especially birds and mice/rats/rodents in general. Because these dogs are very attentive and smart, be sure to smartly big-dog proof your house if he is indoors (not recommended).

Color:
HAT's come in every color and marking except black, merle, rust markings, and genetic darker points and masks. Females, since they have less body fat to keep them warm, automatically have darker points (tail tip, paws, ear tips, and optionally back) which aren't visible at birth, but begin to show up near the end of the nursing period, a.k.a the weaning period. This is NOT genetic and cannot be bred for as it will happen. If females are born and grow with no darker points, they will be faulted and will not able to keep their temperature stable as well in cold climates like males. NOTE: Males CAN have a black saddle but it is always genetic.

Dog Breed: Cusquito

Dog Entry Class: Realistic Breeds

Breed Creator: Darian Harlequin

History of the Breed:

The Cusquito is described as "a dog of the world" due to its development taking place in many countries all over the world. In 18th century Southeastern Europe, little Spitz-like dogs would accompany farmers in their daily chores, participating in diverse roles such as vermin hunting, herding and guarding. It is believed that a plague that devastaded one-fourth of the population in Turkey forced some of these little dogs to survive in the wild, breeding among themselves and with native golden jackals, producing packs of these wild hybrids. These wild dogs were hardy and tenacious, but lacked the "fear of man", which resulted in intrusion on their part on other farmers' properties seeking food, even approaching bigger towns and small cities on some occasions. 

It was in the 19th century when the Amusant Pour Tous travelling circus happened to stop by at Ankara, the Turkish capital, that a dog trainer and performer known as Darian Harlequin took interest in them. Harlequin saw the performing potential in these little canids and acquired two jackal-dog pups, Jana and Commodin. Their small size facilitated travelling, but they were still too wild to be trained as circus dogs. 

As the circus travelled all over Europe Harlequin bred his dogs to local dogs of each city they passed, never losing sight of the ideal little performer he sought to create. In Belgium he crossed Jana and to a male short-haired Schipperke, producing two pups, one of which looked like a jackal pup and the other like the sire, all black. The latter, a male named Pitre, was crossed with another short-haired Schipperke, obtaining three pups. Two looked like the parents; the third, a female, resembled Jana. This female was subsequently crossed with Commodin. Of the three pups born out of this litter one looked like Commodin, an agouti wild dog, one resembled more a Schipperke, and the third a small sable fox. Harlequin kept the third pup and from him the Cusquito breed developed. 

In England Harlequin used the Jack Russell Terrier's influence, while in The Netherlands the Keeshond contributed with the long-haired gene. In Germany the German Pinscher was used to produce a more stylized dog and the Shiba Inu in Japan reinforced some wild-dog habits like scarce barking and an independent and confident nature without losing the trainability gained from the other breeds. 

Harlequin's "little mixed dogs" gained so much popularity as performing dogs that they soon became the Amusant's main attraction, luring thousands of spectators from all over. Unfortunately, Darian Harlequin's failing health led to a wean on his dogs' newly acquired attention, as other dog trainers without the passion he transmitted to the canids only failed to recreate Harlequin's performances. 

In 1886, a decade after Harlequin's death and his little dogs becoming forgotten, his daughter, Araceli Harlequin decided to relive his father's legacy, joining the Amusant Pour Tous circus herself. People returned to see the little "fox-dogs" do their tricks. 

The name name of the breed came from Darian Harlequin's best friend, an acrobat by the name of Clemente Arenas. He once teased Araceli about her little "cusquitos", meaning "little mixed-breed dogs" in Spanish. The name stuck and became the breed's official name. In August of 1891, Araceli wrote the first breed standard, which was published in a French magazine. Fiver years later, the Cusquito was accepted by the UKC in the non-sporting group and Araceli retired from the circus along with the dogs to become active in the dog showing and breeding community. However, she remained performing on her own to liven the little Cusquito's performing origin. 

​

Brief Standard:
Small and light, the Cusquito has a foxy appearance, accentuaded by the large triangular ears. It is square in build with a lean figure, a small tapering muzzle, sloping topline and tucked-in belly. They display a naturally calm and quiet disposition in the ring, but are extremely active and lively in their home. They come in three varieties: short or smooth, long and wire coated. Average height ranges between 36-40cm at the withers.
The accepted colors vary greatly: from solid white, fawn, red, blue, liver, isabella, chocolate and black to brindle, black sable, red sable, liver sable, chocolate sable, isabella sable, blue sable and black sable on a brindle base. An additional color seen in these little dog is the bicolor: this denotes a combination of two colors in which the second color may be present in the muzzle, neck, chest and legs. It may cover areas greater than tan points and the coloration is not always tan. Markings include white on the face, chest, belly and legs, masks, tan points and brindle points. A typical trait of this breed is the dark ears and dark-tipped tail, a characteristic that comes from their wild ancestors.

Dog Breed: Krahviik Dog
Dog Entry Class: Fantasy Breed
Breed Creator: Mekrinn Asgerson
History of the Breed:
The Krahviik Zahnd, as they call it in their language has been founded about 100 years ago in the beautiful area of Akaraho (eng. Acaraho by SLS). The person how gets connected with this significant breed is Mekrinn Asgerson. He was the first person who breed the primal version of the modern shorthair Krahviik.

As said, the primal version of the Krahviik was shorthaired. The name "Krahviik" is a Dovahzul word (eng. Dragontongue). It is the cobination of the two words, "kaviir" which means "rabbit" and "grohiik" which means "wolf". The name was later introduced to the breed.
It was a crossbreed between the Kelb tal-fenek (Pharao Hound) and the Podenco Ibicenco (Ibizan Hound). Both breeds are strong-willed but have great abilities to preform presistence hunting. The primal Krahviik was described as willful, intelligent, independent, active but also playful.
The people though, were not happy with this disobey behaviour and they started to interbreed the borzoi to the Krahviik. It should make the dogs, faster and also easier to obey. The Krahviiks became more gentle.

After Asgerson died and they had the idea to improve them further, their sens of smell to be exact. And so they crossbreed them with Ethiopian Wolves.
They succeeded but the breed became stubborn again and the new breeders ignored it.
The Krahviik Dog became more and more popular and the rich also had a covetous eye on them due their exotic look. The higher degree wanted to make them "more beautiful", as they called it and they interbreed the South American Maned Wolf into the Krahviik. From then on they actually called them
"Krahviik Zahnd". Their fur grew very long but the Maned Wolfes are very shy and in the selection for the long fur, ears, legs and tail, they didn't pay attention to their character and also not to their hunting instinct. The breed became useless and the breeding program got ceased.

A few admires of the primal Krahviik and also for the longhaired ones, consolidated, to make the breed and their pedigree clean again. A strict selection happened, so that the animals were no longer shy or stubborn. There hunting instinct came back and they were made to be loyal with their masters.
Of course, the aristocrats wanted their longhaired Krahviiks. Together with the breeders the conformation type of the Krahviik dog was born and can be seen today in the ring of many dog shows.
The wild coloration of the wolf form was noticed in some litters and the Krahviik breeders tried everything to select it out of the breed.
But, as always, there were a few admires for wolf coloured Krahviiks and they started breeding them with the same terms, that the animals were not shy.
The people started to accept the wolf like Krahviiks and the colour got approved.

After a short period, more and more puppies were born with a white back, which no one could explain. This color however went not through selection, since some people called it the colour/pattern of innocence, due the the fact that the Krahviiks nearly extinced because of human failure.
This colour we call "kaviir" today, which means "Rabbit" which should repressend the innocence.
Brief Standard:
Good proportions with smooth outlining which shows quality, gracefulness and harmony.
Together with another substance, which leads to impression, that the dog does persistent work.
Any tendency to ungainliness or deficiency is unwanted. The rich amount of fur, colour and in particular the long bosky tail, which gives this dogs elegance and mythical look. It should remind of its ancestors the Borzoi, Ibizan Hound, the manned and Ethiopian wolf.
Males move wolf like. Head is faces down and they walk massive but still looking effortless and supple. Female walk gracefully, supple and lifting. The neck is placed high and the head again faces more down but not as much as the males.For both genders, the tail should be carried raised in movement, but not above the level of the back.For working purpose, both genders move the same way. Hound-like running moves for persistent hunting.
Males stand sturdy with a low pose, wolfe like. Females keep their neck and head raised high and the front legs are standing close together. The tail again for both genders is carried raised.
Silky, soft and supple. Not wavy or any kinds of curls. On the ears and limbs, the hair is satiny (silky but heavier), short, close lying. On the rest of the body the hair is long. On the skull between the ears the hair is longer and grows longer from their till the of the neck. Cheeks also have longer hair to look uniform to the necks hair. Chest hair is as long as the neck hair but grows shorter to the belly. Under arm and upper thighs have slightly longer hair then the rest of the body. The feathering of the tail is as long as the hair around the neck.

Dog Breed: Alaskan Bear Dog
Dog Entry Class: Realistic
Breed Creator: James Kent

History of the Breed:
The Alaskan Bear Dog was created out of the dogs that were brought to Alaska back in the early 1900s. Settlers moved there on the promise of wealth and good fortune. With them, they brought an assortment of dogs, including Dalmatians and Doberman Pinschers. Naturally, in such a small community, the dogs bred together and produced a line of Dalmatian and Doberman crosses. During these crossbreedings, the trait for longhair was selectively bred and introduced into the line for more natural warmth that the dogs would have.

The community started to grow and with this, the population of dogs increased as some were being imported to widen the gene pool. Among these dogs were Rhodesian Ridgebacks who were then added to the cross for a hunting and protection element. Rhodesians are known to hunt large predatory animals and this is a very useful characteristic to him in a selectively bred breed located in remote parts of Alaska.

This breed is used by the local community to assist in hunting and protecting more remote communities that are susceptible to bear or large predator attacks. It can even be used to scare off moose or deer and deter them from populated areas. They are able to track for a limited distance but their primary objective is to be used to scare away or, if absolutely necessary, attack the predator.

Brief Standard:
The Alaskan Bear Dog stands approximately 65cm in height. Females can be 60-66cm and males about 63-69cm. Dogs larger than this should not be penalized however dogs shorter than this should be as they will not be as effective for their purpose of hunting large predators. The Alaskan Bear Dog, despite deriving part of its heritage from the Rhodesian Ridgeback, should not have a ridge in their back. This is a defect and should be bred away from. Forehead wrinkles, however, should not be penalized.

The Alaskan Bear Dog's temperament should be that of a loyal hunting companion. The Alaskan Bear Dog is an incredibly focused animal with a very clear on/off switch. Reactivity and aggression should not be tolerated in this breed and puppies should be well socialized to avoid this. They are able to work for long periods of time and travel long distances due to their larger paw size and deep chest. They should be relatively quiet dogs, the only time they should be making noise is when they have encountered a large predator animal and are trying to scare or distract it.

Any and all colouring is permitted. This includes dilutes, extreme white markings. Albinism is a disqualifying fault. Ticking is allowed. The most common colouring is black & tan with varying degrees of ticked white, due to the genetics of the Doberman and Dalmatian heritage.
