Utonagan

[Večernica]

Rada by som založila tému venovanú tomuto plemenu, i keď príspevkov bude asi pomenej.
Dostupné informácie na internete sú väčšinou v cudzom jazyku.

V skratke - Utonagan je plemeno psa silne pripomínajúce vlka, ale v skutočnosti nemá z vlka vôbec nič, je šľachtené z troch plemien domácich psov: Aljašský malamut, Nemecký ovčiak a Sibírsky husky. Pochádza z Anglicka.

Je často opisovaný ako vynikajúci temperamentný pes a je tiež často spomínaný ako skvelý rodinný pes a spoločník. Miluje spoločnosť ľudí a vychádza dobre s mačkami a psami menších plemien, ak im boli predstavené v rannom veku. Utonagan nie je strážny pes a bude lízať cudzieho človeka skôr ako na neho štekať. Utonagan občas vyje.

Potrebuje spoločnosť a pozornosť, môže sa uňho vyvinúť deštruktívne správanie, ak zostane sám po dlhú dobu. Utonagan sa výborne cvičí a dychtivo vyžaduje aby s ním jeho majiteľ pracoval.

The Utonagan is medium/large in size and well-muscled, but possesses a slender build that lends to its wolflike resemblance. The breed has a thick double coat that appears quite different in winter and summer. The guard hair is straight and slightly coarse to the touch. The pelage can be silver grey, cream, or brown with black overlay and a characteristic wolf mask. It also comes in all white, all black and Ink Marked, meaning white with markings of brown, silver or black which look like ink spilled on blotting paper.

Temperament

The Utonagan is a dog with a superb temperament; this in turn makes for a wonderful family dog and companion. They love the company of people and also socialize well with cats and smaller dogs. They are not a dog that likes to be left alone and problems may arise if they are, such as destructive behaviour and escaping. They have a high "pack" mentality, and it is best they have the company of another dog(s), unless you are able to give them your full time companionship. If trained incorrectly, the dog may suffer same-sex dog aggression during its "teenage" years. They are very intelligent, are boisterous in play, and can do well at many activities.

Care

Unlike some of their ancestors, Utonagans will return to their owner when called, if they are trained to do so from a young age. Utonagans enjoy being trained and they are exceptionally quick learners and are always eager to please their owners. They need firm, but fair training starting at a young age.The Utonagan's coat is very easy to manage and (roughly) only requires a twice weekly brush. However, when the dog is moulting, its coat will require more attention.

Health

Some have thick coats that keep them warm in cool conditions but they have great difficulty staying cool in summer. This becomes a problem when walking the dog during hot weather, so owners must be careful not to over-exercise the dog and to keep water available when playing.Utonagan can live up to 10–15 years of age.Generally the Utonagan is an active agile and healthy dog, they should not be overly exercised until their bones are fully mature.Prior to breeding all breeding stock should be KC/BVA hip scored and eye tested clear.

History

The Utonagan and Northern Inuit were created from 5 rescue dogs of unknown origin imported to the UK from America in 1987. Siberian Husky, Alaskan Malamute and German Shepherd were added. The original dogs were bred by Edwina Harrison, who advertised them as wolf-dog hybrid.[2] Buck, the founding father, looked like an Alaskan Malamute. His more wolf-like pups were prized for breeding.The Utonagan and the Northern Inuit originally came from the same stock, but the Utonagan Society further developed its lines by returning to stock from the conceptual breeder. They are now considered two separate breeds.

The name Utonagan was found in a book of Native American mythology by one of the original breeders, Lyn Barraclough. It was then suggested by Brian Jenkins, her partner, as the breed name. It is originally from a Chinook tale where Utonagan is interpreted as "Spirit of the Wolf".

tu uz bol Utonagan spominany aj ostatne plemena podobne vlkom

[fiore]

Zamilovala som sa.

Raz keď budem veľká a budem mať dom s obrovskou záhradou a budeme bývať v Škótsku alebo inej studenej riti, určite si tohto krásavca zoženiem

[Saarly]

tie oci... nadherny

[Večernica]

Spomenutych bolo vela, ale nech ma aj vlastnu temu, doprajme mu to Su krasne, ale osobne by som ho asi nechcela, ja som na SAV a CSV, popripade SH

[kkamkak]

sú úplne úžasní!!!
pohľadala som pár fotiek...










sú fakt úžasní!!! a si predstavte, že ho máte doma a ujde vám cez noc.. najlepšie v zime... ísť okolo hentakého cudzieho psa a pritom eše si myslieť, že je to vlk... nepriala by som..

[Nanda]

Ten dlhosrstý vyzerá naozaj ňuňu

[Mia..]

Wau, krajšieho psíka som ešte nevidela..

[Ell]

Zas jedna "genialna" myslienka, skrizit dve absolutne rozdielne plemena. Len by ma zaujimalo, co tym chcel basnik povedat.
Extrerierovo to vyzera stale ako severan (plus-minus), takze naco tam bol pridavany NO?

Co sa tyka povahy a schopnosti:
-ak chcem psa s vysoko vyvinutym obranarskym a terietorialnym instinktom, chcem ho na sluzobnu kynologiu (obrany, stopy, zachranarcina, atd), alebo ak chcem psa - ovciaka, povodne slachteneho na pracu s ovcami, ak chcem psa, ktory ma bude pocuvat na 200% kedykolvek a kdekolvek, kupim si NO

-ak chcem psa na sportove vyuzitie v zaprahu (dogtreking, canicross, bikejoring, scootering, skijoring, zapriahanie do sani a pod.), ktroy bol slachteny k samostatnosti a istej davky nezavislosti k majitelovi, ktory si v sebe nosi velku davku divej prirody, a ktory pre svoj vrodeny a dlho cielene slachteny lovecky pud sa nebude dat nikdy na 100% vycvicit, a nemoze byt nikdy pusteny z voditka, ktory je vyborny rodinny mazlicek a absolutne neagresivny na ludi (aj figurantov, zlodejov, vrahov, fetakov atd), tak si kupim severana (SH, AM)

Ak si niekto mysli, ze po skrizeni dostane NO, ktory bude tahat v zaprahu, alebo huskyho, s ktorym bude robit obrany, tak ho caka asi velke sklamanie. Pravdepodobne to budu psy, ktore sa nebudu dat pouzit ani do zaprahu, ani na vycik, a ani k praci so zvieratami.

účel vlčí výzor bez pridania vlka do kríženia. ani jedno im nevyšlo. vlka moc nepripomínajú, len skôr severanov a druhé, použili do chovu aj čsv a iné plemená, aj také, ktoré toho vlka v sebe majú. tuším aj SAV a tak. takže plemeno made in USA je len ďalší americký pokus mať niečo "extra".

[LenkaLeo]

Wau, prave som zistila, ze v Dolnom Kubine sa stratil (tulal sa) psik, teraz je na karantennej stanici mestskej policie. Podla mna je to "cistokrvny Utonagan"

tá variabilita plemena je na jednu stranu pekná, ale na stranu druhú, sú v nich rozdiely ako trepnem u šeryho... brutálne rozdiely... preto je pre mňa Utonagan a Tamaskan kríženec a nie plemeno. Niečo v začiatkoch, niečo, čo za plemeno ešte považovať nemôžeme... i keď sú zaujímaví, ale príde mi to ako u šeryho zbieranie všetkých čiernych NO a tomu podobných, plus bradáče, tak u utonagana - všetko čo vypadá ako severan alebo trolinku pripomína vlka...
