HISTORY:
Under the name American Staffordshire Terrier is this breed since January 1, 1972 international recognition. Previously, there was no consistent naming. The dogs were known as "Pit Bull Terrier", "American Bull Terrier", "Yankee Terrier ' or ' Stafford Terrier". This resulted in many confusion, what should be excluded with the current name.
The father who, as colloquially as "on the staffs" is the "Bull and Terrier", which was used for dog fighting in the UK and around 1860 with British immigrants in the United States. In England, formerly were entirely forbidden since 1835, thus they left the area of the legal prohibition of dog fighting. Particularly in the northeast of the United States, dog fighting was from approximately 1880 professionally operated.
in 1898, the United Kennel Club (UKC) in Michigan was founded. The Club had the task of the "Pit Bull Terrier", as he was known at the time to maintain and promote. This included the adoption of binding rules for dog fighting, to which the members of the UKC were tied. Already at that time there were magazines, in which almost exclusively about dog fighting was reported. These were called "The Dog Facier" or also "blood lines", for example.
In the other breeders began to come off of the orientation of the breed to dog fighting and make the American Staffordshire terrier for exhibitions. in 1936 the American Staffordshire breed standard has been officially Club (AKC) Terrier by the American Kennel. Then, a dispute about the proper name of the breed there arose the name Yankee was quite widespread terrier for this dog breed. The word pit, the name for a dog fight Center, was - according to Todd Fenstermacher may be political correctness (dog fighting have been officially banned) - dropped, the name part but keep Staffordshire as a recollection of the last days of the great in England.
This resulted terrier and American Staffordshire then split the race in American Pit Bull Terrier, because the AKC tolerated no dog fights and thus which remained American Pit Bull Terrier in the UKC.
Hi zusammen,
ich kenne mehrere Hündinnen, die bei Scheinschwangerschaften schwer zu kämpfen hatten und deswegen vom Tierarzt mit Hormonen behandelt werden mußten. Noch schlimmer sind die Scheinschwangerschaften bei Hündinnen, die dann Tumore im Brustbereich bekommen haben und darauf eingeschläfert werden mußten.
Nach Studien sinkt das Risiko von Brustkrebs um über 75% bei seiner Hündin mit einer Kastration zwischen der 1. und 2. Läufigkeit. Hündinnen ohne Kastration erkranken also zu 75% im Alter an Brustkrebs. Meine eigenen 2 kastrierten Hündinnen sind 13 und 14 Jahre alt und haben bisher keinen Verdacht auf Krebs.
