Hungarian Short-haired Pointing Dog
history
The Hungarian Seaburn comes from ancient hunting dogs used
by the Magyars in hunting, it is a kind of Hungarian pointer. The ancestors of
these pets lived in Hungary more than 1000 years ago, and the modern hashed, of the course, is somewhat different from its predecessors, but similar traits are
much more than different.
In fact, it is difficult to say exactly how long ago these
dogs appeared in Hungary, as today experts draw conclusions only on the
available evidence. One of them is an engraving of the 10th century, where a
smooth-haired long-legged, thin dog is very similar to a hedge, depicted
together with a gamekeeper. Another very remarkable proof is the chapter in the
handwritten book on falconry, where the description depicts a dog
almost identical to the Hungarian seam age.
Hunters and dog breeders of those distant times in every way
developed the breed, in order to improve the main qualities, so that by the end
of the 18th, and early 20th centuries, she developed an amazing scent. Dogs were
highly valued by aristocrats, and each nobleman had a flock, or at least a few
individuals, which were constantly used in hunting. In addition, these animals
could develop a huge speed, so that during the First World War they were used
to deliver reports.
However, when the war ended, the breed was on the verge of
extinction, as the consequences for many European countries where these dogs
evolved were horrendous. Only by the great efforts of dog breeders, has the
Hungarian dog breed survived until today. Although, these dogs had to endure
another significant blow to their population - World War II.
Around the early fifties of the 20th century, the Hungarian
began her journey to the United States and then to the UK. The first breed club
in America was founded in 1954. It is worth noting that even in the fifties the
Hungarian squeezed had a slightly different appearance, in particular, they had
longer snouts, in addition, there were individuals with slightly elongated
ears. The breed is not very popular in the world, but! she was the first dog in
the world to be a five-time champion, in conformation, in the field, obedience, and agility.

So, if you're full-time and there's no one to stay with the
animal, it's better to have another breed of dog. This will not only
negatively affect the state of mind of the dog, but also create more serious
and, so to speak, tangible, difficulties for you - because the animal will
become destructive, will start to gnaw furniture, throw things, destroy your
shoes, and clothes, and generally behave extremely chaotic.
This behavior is directly related to high energy, not only
to the attachment to loved ones because it is a hunting dog that needs a variety
of activity. Active games, running, exercise, and long walks - all should
be carried out daily, otherwise, the animal will deteriorate not only in the emotional
state but also in well-being, as the body of such breeds, is initially predisposed
to high activity.
In the circle of his family, the dog usually shows great
love and affection, always trying to participate in family affairs and
generally be closer to his people. The Hungarian breed has sown well and kindly
treats children, not only because it sees them as a companion for various games
and entertainment, but also simply because these dogs in principle feel a
certain predisposition to children. Smart, understanding.
The ideal place to keep such a pet - is a private house with
its own yard and forest nearby, but due to its beautiful nature, can easily
live in a city apartment, with the right amount of activity and walking. It
should be noted that if you do live in a private house, these dogs are great
for watching functions, although they are friendly to people. But - not when
they are responsible for the house and the household.
With strangers, and friends in your home, you will probably
never have any problems as your pet after a very short period of acquaintance,
will try to make friends with your guest. Conflicts with other dogs are
rare, but Cats and in general any small animals will be of potential
interest as prey. Accordingly, if you plan to have a cat as well, it is better
to accustom your dog to a feline at a very early age.
Her excellent scent and skills make the burnt-out hunter.
They are used as guide dogs, for drug detection, for search and rescue
operations, and often take part in hunting tests (including falconry),
tracking, and fly ball. For the harmonious development of character, socialization is
necessary, otherwise, the dog can grow closed and timid. By the way, you need
toys, as she loves to nibble and chew.
