Welsh corgi, either of two breeds of working dogs developed to handle cattle. They are similar in appearance but are of different origins. Their resemblance results from crosses between the two breeds. The Cardigan Welsh corgi (see photograph), named for Cardiganshire, can be traced back to dogs brought to Wales by the Celts about 1200 BC. The original type was known as the Bronant and was related to the progenitors of the dachshund. The Pembroke Welsh corgi (see photograph), of Pembrokeshire, is descended from dogs brought to Wales by Flemish weavers about AD 1100. The ancestors of the Pembroke belonged to the group that produced the Keeshond, Pomeranian, and Samoyed. The corgi gained exposure from its association with the royal family of Britain; Queen Elizabeth II has had corgis since her childhood.Post: 28 June 11:35

Do cloned pets actually look and act like the original? Cloning may sound like something out of a science fiction movie, but it’s already happening here in the United States. One company has the patented technology to clone cats, dogs and horses, and will do it for you right now – for a price. Viagen charges $35,000 to clone a cat. Cloning a dog will set you back $50,000, and a horse is $85,000. That’s clearly a huge investment. What exactly do you get for your money? First, Viagen needs a skin sample from a pet that’s either still alive, or just recently died. A lot of people turn to the company right after their pet dies, said spokesperson Melain Rodriguez, and it’s possible to do successfully if the death was within a few days ago and the body has been kept refrigerated. Then starts the real science. The sample is shipped to the company’s lab in Texas, where cells from the skin are cultured. It takes a few weeks for those cells to grow and multiply until there are about 1 milliPost: 15 May 20:26

Talarik Creek Lodge: Hunting for Trophy Rainbow Trout I answered him that it was not, and he shrugged off the 18-inch Arctic grayling on the end of my line like it was a piece of weed. My wife had sent us fishing that evening to catch some fresh grayling for dinner and our goal was now achieved, with four large, translucent-white-fleshed fish having been plucked from the cold waters of the Newhalen River. The author’s son Lucas with what he calls “a real fish” also defined as any rainbow trout over 20 inches caught on a fly rod. What is it about rainbow trout that incites such excitement? Why is it that when fishing guides congregate around a fire the conversation always finds its way to rainbows, not salmon, not char, not pike, but definitely rainbows? “Keep it in the water,” “Careful, don’t drop it,” and “Nice release,” are all phrases I’ve heard said and spoken myself. I have a personal admiration for the green-speckled creatures, and rainbow trout fishing has a cult following thaPost: 2 November 10:03

Meet Max, my loyal hunting companion. From the moment we set foot in the forest, Max’s excitement is palpable. His keen senses and unwavering loyalty make every hunting trip an adventure. 🐕✨ One crisp autumn morning, we ventured deep into the woods, the air filled with the scent of pine and the rustle of leaves. Max, with his nose to the ground, led the way. Suddenly, he froze, his ears perked up. I knew he had found something. 🦌🍂 Following his lead, we moved silently through the underbrush. Max’s instincts were spot on; we spotted a majestic deer grazing in a clearing. With a steady hand and a calm breath, I took the shot. Max’s tail wagged furiously as he retrieved our prize. 🏹🌿 But it’s not just about the hunt. It’s about the bond we share, the trust we build, and the memories we create. Max isn’t just a hunting dog; he’s my partner, my friend, and my greatest ally in the wild. 🐾❤️ Here’s to many more adventures with my best friend by my side. 🥂🌲 #HuntingCompanion #WiPost: 24 September 14:20

Shotguns, Bows & Fool Hens by E. Donnall Thomas Jr. Although the termination dust had yet to fall, it was the kind of September day that demands the acknowledgement of the seasons’ passage. Although fresh silvers were still entering the streams, the heart of the fishing season lay behind me. Bull moose were starting to round up their cows, and lines of migrating geese undulated against the crisp, azure sky. Since I’d been in Alaska long enough to know what lay just around the corner, I felt determined to wring as much experience as possible from the outdoors before the sun disappeared and winter seized the North Country in its icy grip. And on that particular day, I meant to do it with my shotgun. If I had nothing else with me as I walked out the door of our remote Kenai Peninsula home, I certainly enjoyed plenty of confidence in my dog. I regarded Skykomish as the best hunting Lab I’ve ever owned, and the passage of three more decades—and a number of very good retrievers—has yet toPost: 3 November 15:54

Fox Hunting in Britain Fox hunting has been occurring in different guises worldwide for hundreds of years. Indeed the practise of using dogs with a keen sense of smell to track prey has been traced back to ancient Egypt and many Greek and Roman influenced countries. However it is believed that the custom for a fox to be tracked, chased and often killed by trained hunting hounds (generally those with the keenest sense of smell known as ‘scent hounds’) and followed by the Master of the Foxhounds and his team on foot and horseback, originated from a Norfolk farmer’s attempt to catch a fox using farm dogs in 1534. Whilst foxes were widely regarded as vermin and farmers and other landowners had hunted the animals for many years as a form of pest control (both to curb their attacks on farm animals and for their highly prized fur) it wasn’t until the eighteenth century that fox hunting developed into it’s most modern incarnation and was considered a sport in its own right as a result of thePost: 26 May 12:32

What do modern European hunters wear and what hunting techniques are popular? Rule of thumb is: if you're invited and your party consists of more than 2, leave camo at home or in moderation (ie. only a cap or a mask). While loden and waxed cotton remains popular, modern hunting clothing is made to be comfortable, quiet, sturdy, warm and prefferably tick-proof. As for hunting techniques. -Hunting from a blind is the preferred method. Either low near the ground for birds or in a treestand or elevated blind for larger game. -Driven hunt is a popular second. Takes more people, is more expensive, but very spectacular. The driven hunt comes in many varieties, and is subject to many rules, traditions and rituals which vary by region. -Walking flushing hunt is popular in the wide open agricultural areas as well. Requires good dogs. -Stalking has quite a following as well. Although recently, I've heard a scientist say on a symposium: "95% of the hunters believe they belong to the 5% who can Post: 16 May 23:42

The Hanoverian Scenthound: A Tracker's Reliable Partner For serious hunters who prioritize accuracy and perseverance above all else, the Hanoverian Scenthound ( Hannoverscher Schweisshund) deserves a close look. This isn't a flashy, multi-purpose breed, but a highly specialized tracking dog bred for one thing: relentlessly pursuing wounded game.

That means deer (primarily red deer, roe deer, and fallow deer), wild boar, and, in some regions, elk or moose. They are not typically used for birds, small game, or predators. Their focus is solely on following the scent trail of blood or disturbed ground left by injured animals.

Training hunting dog puppies is an essential step in cultivating their natural instincts and preparing them for a successful future in the field. The key to effective training lies in starting early, as puppies are most receptive to learning during their first few months of life. Begin with basic obedience commands such as "sit," "stay," and "come," which lay the foundation for more advanced skills. Incorporating play into training is crucial, as puppies learn best when they are engaged and having fun. Use interactive games that mimic hunting scenarios, such as fetch or hide and seek, to encourage their instinctual behaviors. Gradually introduce them to scents and tracking exercises, allowing them to explore their extraordinary olfactory capabilities. Socialization is another fundamental aspect of training hunting puppies. Expose them to various environments, people, and other animals to build their confidence and adaptability. A well-socialized puppy will be more comfortable in the Post: 21 October 09:00

Blood-thirsty dogs attack defenceless chained bear in ‘shameless baiting station’ A disturbing video of two dogs attacking a chained bear near Moscow, Russia, has sparked fresh calls for President Vladimir Putin to crack down on 'baiting stations' Two blood-thirsty dogs attacked a chained brown bear over the course of several heartbreaking minutes during a hunting training drill. The shocking footage was recorded by animal rights activists in Russia at a suspected “baiting station”. One of the dogs can be seen biting into the bear’s leg from behind. The animal desperately tries to fight back but is held back by its chain. This is despite it being illegal in Russia to use wild-caught animals to train dogs for hunting. The Russian parliament passed a bill in December 2017 to ban baiting but the upper house refused to ratify it. One senator, Sergey Kalashnikov, bizarrely compared it to the extension of LGBT rights in the West.Post: 3 November 20:17

An Inuit hunter stands over a dead polar bear. November 26, 1924, USA The Inuit are an ethnic group of indigenous peoples of North America living in the vast northern territories of Canada from the Labrador Peninsula to the mouth of the Mackenzie River, as well as in Alaska. One of the main activities of the Inuit is hunting wild animals. Inuit have made a living from hunting on land, on the sea, on the ice. Through time, marine mammals, terrestrial mammals, fish and birds have been the basis of food and clothing, light and heat, tools and means of transportation, such as dog sleds, kayaks and large skin boats. That way all Inuit live was evolved with the hunting culture. The sustenance of families and settlements has relied heavily on favourable hunting conditions and successful catches. Hunting has therefore traditionally been a key focal point in the organisation of Arctic communities, where roles and responsibilities have been defined by hunting activities.

Scientists clone first Arctic wolf What if scientists could bring back extinct or endangered species? Well, that’s exactly what these Chinese researchers are trying to do with the first cloned Arctic wolf. The pup, dubbed Maya 2.0, is now 100 days old and thriving, according to FreeThink. “After two years of painstaking efforts, the Arctic wolf was cloned successfully,” said Mi Jidong, Sinogene Biotechnology’s general manager, during a press conference in Beijing. “It is the first case of its kind in the world.” The project is a collaboration between Sinogene Biotechnology, a Beijing-based biotech, and the polar theme park Harbin Polarland. Researchers used skin cells donated by Maya, an Arctic wolf at Harbin Polarland. From those cells, 136 embryos were created using female dog eggs. Out of those, 85 were transferred into seven beagle surrogates, according to FreeThink. In July, a healthy cloned Arctic wolf was born. While animal cloning isn’t new, it’s not easy.

Hunting with cormorants. China 1949. Mankind has learned to attract animals to its hunting a long time ago. Falconry existed in the Middle Ages, and greyhounds, hounds, terriers, and other hunting dog breeds were traditionally used in Europe. But the people of East Asia managed to surprise everyone. They not only decided to improve the ancient fishing process, but also attracted waterfowl for this purpose — the well-known cormorants. Cormorant hunting is an ancient tradition that has been around for thousands of years. Its essence is that the cormorant hunts fish not for itself, but for the person who taught it. It was the one who taught them, because all the cormorants involved in this process are trained birds. They know their owner very well, navigate well among the boats on the water and obediently give the caught fish. However, there is a small subtlety here. It is very difficult to convince a bird of prey not to eat its prey. No amount of training will be able to kill the Post: 5 January 16:26
When is the right time to restrict your aging hunting dog from the field? With shaking hands and nervous anticipation, I slipped the GPS collar around Winchester’s neck and felt the subtle trembling always present prior to launch. For a moment, I considered leaving the collar in the truck, knowing my big running partner wouldn’t be running strong enough for me to fear him going over the edge of nowhere, one of the defining characteristics of our 12-year relationship. He sat quietly, except for the gentle thumping of his tail on the seat, while I assembled the Winchester 101, 12-gauge, I had also considered leaving in the truck. But, Winchester knew that the gun and the collar meant a hunt, and their absence meant the outing was only a walk. The March morning had dawned clear and cold, suggesting the snow cover in the mountains would present a crust that would support Winchester’s weight.
