1. The historical origin of the rough-coated Italian Hound

The history of rough-coated Italian hounds is quite old, and they have been around as early as the 14th century. Their sense of smell and vision are very sensitive, and their legs are very long. They are particularly outstanding in hunting and have very superb and powerful hunting abilities. Therefore, they were extremely loved by hunters at the time and were bred in large numbers. By the Italian Renaissance, rough-coated Italian hounds were loved by most ordinary people, who pampered them as family companions. Even some of the oil paintings left behind can prove that they were once really common. . But when the World War broke out, the rough-coated Italian Hound was greatly harmed and almost extinct. So now the number of rough-coated Italian hounds has been greatly reduced, far less than before.

3. How to raise rough-coated Italian hounds

1. Feeding

The activity level of rough-coated Italian hounds is actually quite large, because they are relatively lean and easy to move around, so they should have sufficient food intake. The amount of meat fed every day is about 300 grams to 500 grams, and the amount of vegetarian food is equal to the amount of meat. Prepare enough drinking water every day so that they can be replenished in time when they are thirsty. Don’t choose the kind of food bowl used for puppies. That kind of dog bowl is too short, and rough-haired Italian dogs will lower their heads for a long time when eating, which is very bad for their spine and cervical vertebrae. Food and water basins, including other utensils, must be disinfected regularly to keep food hygienic and clean.

2. Training

Rough-haired Italian Hounds have been very powerful hunting dogs in the past, so their body genes have always had a strong ability to "obey". Their smart brains can accurately and promptly determine what their owners are going to say and what they need them to do. This is not difficult. Therefore, training a rough-coated Italian retriever is a relatively easy job. You just have to figure out what you want them to be and go at their pace. Provide material rewards in a timely manner after completing the actions. If they are not completed, you must wait until they are completed before giving food, otherwise the effect will not be achieved.
