Youll find that under all of that long, coarse fur is an incredibly sturdy dog that seems like a bundle of energy.As a highly intelligent breed, Westies can be easy to train, especially if you provide the right positive reinforcements. They are a great example of why you should only use positive reinforcement when you try to use negative reinforcement, they tend to get a lot more stubborn.

They want to play and have a great time, making them quite the entertaining addition to the family. Once theyve gotten all of that energy out of their system, they make great lounging companions.

Wer sich fur die Wolfhunde interessiert, fand bisher nur auerst sparlich Bucher uber diese faszinierenden Tiere. So entstand die Idee, selbst ein Buch zu schreiben. Nach monatelanger Recherche und nach Sichtung vieler Bucher, Zeitschriftenartikel und Vereinsinformationen wagte ich mich an dieses Projekt. Dabei ist kein allgemeingultiges Regelwerk entstanden. Ein solches Buch wird noch zu schreiben sein und dann gewiss von einem Zuchter. Die Informationen wurden sorgfaltig recherchiert. Ich habe mir dabei durchaus ein eigenes Bild von der Situation gemacht. Gerade bei den Wolfhunden treffen unterschiedliche Interessengruppen aufeinander. Die faszinierenden Wolfhunde sind bisher nur relativ wenigen Hundefreunden vorbehalten. Sie verspruhen einen Hauch von Wildnis, ohne dabei selbst wirklich wild zu sein. Sie bestechen durch ihr naturnahes Aussehen und ihr doch noch teilweise wolfisches Wesen. Aufgrund dieses wolfischen Wesens sind sie jedoch bis heute Hunde fur Spezialisten geblieben. Neben Geschichte, Standards und Wesensbeschreibungen informiert das Buch auch uber Genetik, Erziehung, Futterung und viele weitere interessante Themen rund um diese auergewohnlichen Hunde. Die vorliegende, vierte Auflage wurde aktualisiert und um einige Bilder erweitert.ANMERKUNG DER AUTORIN ZU IHREM BUCH:Aufgrund der Vermutungen einiger Leser muss ich an dieser Stelle etwas richtig stellen. Falsch ist die Vermutung, dass ich Informationen abgeschrieben oder kopiert hatte. Falsch ist ebenfalls, dass Fehler in dem Buch zu finden sind. Das Buch ist fur Rasseinteressenten gedacht, die sich erstmals mit den Wolfhunden beschaftigen, nicht fur Wolfhunde-Experten oder -Zuchter, die auf jahrelange Erfahrungen mit diesen Hunden zuruck blicken konnen. Das Buch dient lediglich dem Zweck, einen kleinen Uberblick uber diese Hunde zu bekommen und ungeeignete Interessenten vor diesen herrlichen Tieren zu schutzen. Keinesfalls erhebt das Buch den Anspruch, als allgemeingultiges Regelwerk uber die Wolfshunde zu gelten. Es soll sachlich uber die Wolfhunde informieren und dem Halter eine kleine Hilfe im Alltag sein. Das Buch geht ausfuhrlich auf die teilweise auerst unbequemen Eigenschaften dieser Hunde ein und bietet Hilfe und Losungsvorschlage an. Wer sich fur einen Wolfhund entscheidet, sollte Hilfs- und Beratungsangebote von Vereinen und Zuchtern auf alle Falle in Anspruch nehmen, denn diese Hunde sind faszinierende, aber auch auerst spezielle Gefahrten.
