- Breed Information
Scottish Beranhunds (Canis ursidae) are apex predators originating in northern Scotland. They are mainly carnivores and mostly eat deer, fish, and seals. Depending on their location they sometimes come in to contact with cattle and will prey on them. All Beranhunds are wild until captured by their handler or it is a breeding. . The breed wears a Halti. the canine equivalent of a halter.
• Lifespan 1-20 years domesticated, 1-13 in the wild.
• Height ranges from 160 cm to 220 cm with an ideal weight ranging from 700-900 pounds.
• Average speed is 50mph when running, 75mph when sprinting, and a normal lope at 20mph.
Thick skull structure with a light frame. Thick double coat with a standard long tail or the uncommon bear tail. Ears stand on their own at three months of age. Well muscled and sloped backs that make them idea for riding. They have curved canines and short claws that help in hunting. Their pads are usually rough to the touch. Beranhund tongues are slightly similar to that of a cat's. Average gait similar to that of a wolf though they are not as light on their paws.
Beranhunds come in many different colors, some patterns altered through the years. Some patterns have never been seen in the species, such as brindling. Other newer patterns have occurred but are rare in the species as a whole. All berans are fluffy and show thick coats though there is a legend among of people of a short-haired variation of the species. Eye colors are generally normal in the of canines, generally speaking, only blind berans tend to have the washed out eyes. Berans do not have neon bright colorations.
Beranhunds have very unique personalities, they are goofy at times but mostly almost as docile as dogs once they have formed a bond with someone. Very rarely will you hear of an attack on humans from a domesticated Beranhund. Wild Beranhunds are not known to attack unless threatened or provoked.
Communication between one another is mostly whines, barks, and chuffing. Long distance communication is established through certain pitched howls that cannot be compared to with any other species in the canidae family. Up until a year old pups vocals are usually higher pitched and not as pleasing to the ears as adults.
Scottish Beranhunds breeding habits are very competitive with males. When there is more than one male around a female in season, these males will fight until one backs down or is killed. Once you have a male courting a female, behavior consists of rough playing and chasing that can sometimes lead to an altercation. The gestation period is 92 days. Litters usually consist of one or two pups that will stay with their mother until full maturity at two years of age. Pups are born with a smooth coat minus very fluffy ears and tails. Tail type is know by three weeks of age.
When it comes to tack, this species does not need a bit. All halters must fit properly and not hinder then beranhund from seeing, breathing, or hearing. Saddles must have at least two straps that secure it to the beranhund, underneath and the chest. Any and all designs are allowed as long as they will not hinder the animal in movement. Tack for pulling carts is also allowed. For showing purposes, the beranhund will have a thin chain collar connected to a lead. For other accessories, all are welcome.
