Introduction

Elegant, proud, beautiful, cat-like and surprisingly gorgeous, porcelain is never shy or timid and is always eager to pat or hug her head. His nature makes him an excellent candidate for medical medicine, medical alert, medical service, police public relations and search and rescue. Porcelain is primarily a Hunting Dog breed, originating from a mixture of highly intelligent French and English scent hounds. That said, you must remember that any breed with a high prey drive will require careful consideration in habitat and handling. Another attractive aspect of the breed is that they live in a quiet house or in their kennel, but they have a pretty sweet binge call. They are not barking nuisances.

History

Porcelain is a medium-sized French scent hound. They were developed for flushing and hunting, hunting of deer and wild boar. It is considered the oldest French scent hound breed in existence. He is also known as Chien de French-Comte, a French region referring to the border of Switzerland.

In the 1700s, there are records showing this breed in France and Switzerland. It is known that the porcelain bacround may include the English harrier, the Loughhounds, the Montambaugh and the Talbot Hound. Most of the breeding took place in the abbey of Vaud, Savoy and Luxuil, and Clooney, especially with Choisul’s family. During the French Revolution, the breed was almost lost, but has since been rebuilt using French hounds such as Somerset, Gescon Santongoise and Billy. These outcrosses gave porcelain the zeal, size and strength to hunt wild boar and stag. Described as strong and austere, it is a hunter capable of walking long distances and working in steep, rugged terrains. The Club du Porcelain in France was founded in 1971 to protect the breed and is currently moderate in France and Italy. A low number of breeds are found throughout Europe and the United Kingdom. The breed was recognized by the FCI in 1975.

Porcelain can arrive in the United States as a gift from the King of France to President George Washington. There are records suggesting that porcelain was imported through the port of New Orleans in the late 1800s, but were lost to crossbreeding with local wounds. More recently, porcelain was imported into the United States in 2009 and currently, the U.S. And fewer than 300 are believed to be in Canada.

Breeding

The gestation period in lasts for 60-64 days The primary period of the reproductive cycle of the female is called Proestrus and goes on for around 9 days. During this time the females begin to draw in males. The subsequent part is the Estrus when the bitch is receptive to the male. It goes on for around 3 to 11 days. The third part is the Diestrus. Usually, it happens around day 14. In this period the bitch’s discharge changes for distinctive red and reaching its end. The vulva gets back to average, and she will no longer allow mating. The fourth part called the Anestrus. The time span between heat periods ordinarily keeps going around a half year. The litter size ranges between 6 to 8 puppies at a time’

Grooming

Beyond regular weekly grooming, occasional bathing will keep your porcelain clean and look its best. Grooming can be a wonderful bonding experience for you and your dog. Strong, fast-growing nails should be trimmed regularly with a nail clipper or grinder to prevent overgrowth, splitting, and breakage. Their ears should be checked regularly to avoid a buildup of wax and debris, which can lead to infection. The teeth should be brushed regularly.

Training

Porcelain likes to be the sole object of your affection. If there is a disagreement between other dogs or an authority behavior develops, then you should fix your dog immediately and not be allowed to maintain this behavior. This breed is easily crate-trained and housebrook and makes great indoor pets.

Nutrition

Despite being fierce predators, they are benign and relatively easy. Due to their strong drive to run their nose, they must have a fenced yard to run. On the walk, use a GPS parking collar when you are going out or working on a lease. Very active dogs, porcelain, require a lot of exercise, and are therefore not recommended for those who live in apartments. Exercise options include playing time in the backyard or taking a walk several times a day. Exercise can also come in the form of indoor activities, such as sneaking around, chasing a rolled ball on the floor, or learning new tricks. Some outdoor activities such as swimming, hiking, and retrieving balls or flying discs can provide a good outlet for spending energy. Training for dog sports such as agility, obedience and rally can also be a great way to give your dog exercise.

Exercise

Porcelain should perform well on high quality dog ​​food, whether it is commercially manufactured or prepared with the supervision and approval of your vet. Any diet should be appropriate for the age of the dog (puppy, adult, or senior). Some dogs are at risk of being overweight, so watch your dog’s calorie consumption and weight level. Treatment training can be an important aid, but giving too much can lead to obesity. Know which human foods are safe for dogs, and which are not. If you have any concerns about your dog’s weight or diet, check with your vet. Clean, fresh water must be available at all times.

Health

Porcelain is free from common health conditions seen in most dogs today. For most medium to large dogs, hip dysplasia can be a concern. Working with responsible breeders, prospective owners can receive the education they need to know about specific health concerns within the breed.
