The Armenian Gampr is a huge dog with a thick bone structure, a double coat, a muscular build, and a powerful pulling ability. The snout is longer than the head in the skull. The length of the body should be somewhat longer than the height of the shoulders. The coat can be any length and colour, but it is always the longest across the shoulders and chest, as well as in the flank feathering. Due to the fact that the Gampr is a landrace breed rather than a defined breed, there is a wide range of kinds, looks, and personalities. Shortly after birth, the ears are frequently cropped, and the tail is occasionally cropped as well.

Dog History

The Armenian Gampr is a huge to giant-sized landrace breed that originated in Armenia's historical region, the highlands. As breeding of the Gampr dogs was allowed unregulated, the evolution of the breed was more dependent on the secluded location where the dogs were located than on the preferences of the human population. Landrace breeds have more variation in look and structure than standardised breeds, but they are genetically healthier in many circumstances. Numerous dog carvings and engravings in the area enable to track the development of domesticated dogs in the area, and a substantial percentage of these petroglyphs appear to be Gampr dogs by 1,000 BC, showing that the breed was not only well established but also well known.

The Aralez, dog-like spirits who descend from on high to lick the wounds of slain heroes and restore them, are frequently acknowledged as their inspiration. The Ottoman Empire's invasion in the early twentieth century significantly diminished the number of these huge canines, but they were also used as foundation stock for a variety of Turkish breeds, allowing them to expand. Soon after, the Soviet Union gained control and mixed many of the best Gampr canines with other dog breeds, resulting in the Caucasian Ovcharka. Recent economic downturns in Armenia have resulted in a decrease in the population of Gamprs, but those who remained were typically malnourished and undeveloped.

Fortunately, when the economy improved, the health of the following generation of dogs improved as well. Although the Armenian Gampr population has not entirely recovered, attempts in the United States to conserve the breed have shown promise.

Health and Care

In general, Armenian Gampr dogs are in good health. However, they, like many other dog breeds, are prone to specific health issues. However, due of its size, this breed may suffer musculoskeletal problems in later life.

To avoid these issues, feed your Armenian Gampr a large-breed specialist puppy diet until he reaches around 80% of his maximum height, then move to a large-breed adult recipe. Also, maintain regular touch with a local veterinarian.

Dog Breed Care Tips and Important Instructions

The expense of caring for an armenian gampr dog on an annual basis, including food, vet bills, toys, and a licence, may be anywhere from $420 and $780. This does not cover the price of sterilisation, a collar and leash, a carrier, or a doggy kennel. Note: Before bringing your armenian gampr dog home for the first time, double-check that you have all of the necessary supplies.

Puppies of Armenian Gampr Dogs from 8 to 12 weeks require four bowls of food every 24 hours.

Feed three meals a day to armenian gampr dog pups aged three to six months.

Puppies should be fed twice a day from the age of six months to one year.

When the armenian gampr dog reaches the age of one, one meal per day is typically sufficient.

Adult armenian gampr dogs, on the other hand, may prefer two smaller bowls. It is your job to adjust the meal schedule of your armenian gampr dog.

Physical activity is necessary for Armenian Gampr Dogs to stay fit, engage their thoughts, and maintain their health. Daily activity also aids in the battle against boredom, which can contribute to nasty behaviour in armenian gampr dogs. Many of your armenian gampr dog's inherent needs to dig, chase, herd, chew, and retrieve may be satisfied with a little fun and games. The amount of activity required depends on your armenian gampr dog's health and age, but ten minutes outside and a daily stroll around the block will most likely not suffice. If your armenian gampr dog is between the ages of six and eighteen months, his needs will most likely be higher.

Feeding

• Around the age of eight weeks, an Armenian Gampr dog puppy is fully free of his mother's milk. As a result, we'll assume it's totally weaned when you adopt it.
• To begin with, you're not going to modify the puppy's nutrition all of a sudden. As a result, you'll need to speak with the previous owner or breeder about how to handle the first few weeks. And if the breeder used to feed him kibbles and you want to switch, you'll have to ease into it. You can gradually introduce and mix the new diet with the old over the course of two weeks or longer.
• You'll need to feed your Armenian Gampr puppy multiple times a day:
• 3 to 4 meals a day for animals aged 2 to 6 months, then 2 meals a day for up to a year (and for some Armenian Gampr dogs, you can continue in this manner even as an adult) to avoid stomach torsion.
• Rations will need to be adjusted according to his age, race, weight, and lifestyle...
• Remember to keep an eye on your puppy's development. Indeed, it will be required to convert to a "Armenian Gampr dog adult" diet after it has attained 90% of its ultimate weight.

Fun Facts

The current Armenian Gampr dog hasn't altered much during its history in the Armenian Highlands. It's one of the few natural breeds that hasn't been exposed to phenotypic selection. They kept the genetic diversity that other dog breeds had at the start.

Spontaneous and, in some cases, planned occasional matings with locally indigenous wolves enhanced genetic variety (still present). Gamprs are distinguished by their vital capacity, independence, intelligence, strong self-preservation instinct, ability to defend and guard animals in a reliable manner, and exclusive friendliness to people.

Armenian Gampr dogs are huge canines with a lovely look. They have a broad head with well-defined contours and robust cheeks but no prominent cheekbones. Their backs are broad, straight, muscular, and powerful.

They have a well-developed undercoat that protects them from the elements. There are two varieties of coats, depending on the length of the top hairs: long-haired with lengthy top hairs and short-haired with dense, relatively short hair. According to the breed standard, a brown or piebald coat is undesirable.

The adult Armenian Gampr dogs stand between 25 and 26 inches tall at the withers for males and 23 to 24 inches tall for females. The mature dog's average body weight is between 57 and 61 kg for males and 45 to 59 kg for females.

Home Training Tips and General Information

Your armenian gampr dog requires a warm, quiet spot away from any winds and off the ground or floor to relax. You might want to try purchasing a dog bed or constructing one from a wooden box. Cushion the bed with a clean comforter, sheet, blanket, or pillow. The bed covering of your armenian gampr dog should be washed often. If your armenian gampr dog will be spending a lot of time outside in the summer, make sure he has plenty of shade and cool water, and a covered, dry, warm shelter in the winter.

Make sure you adhere to your community's licencing requirements. Make sure your armenian gampr dog's collar has the licence attached. This, together with an ID tattoo or tag, may aid in the recovery of your armenian gampr dog if she goes lost.

A companion armenian gampr dog who is well-behaved can be a blessing. Your armenian gampr dog, on the other hand, may cause problems if not properly taught. The basics—"Sit," "Stay," "Come," "Down," "Heel," "Off," and "Leave it"—will strengthen your interaction with your armenian gampr dog and the rest of the family. If you have a puppy, begin teaching him appropriate reactions as soon as possible! Use doggy treats as a reward and encouragement. When puppies are fully vaccinated, they can begin obedience courses. For information on training sessions, contact your local humane organisation or SPCA. Even as a puppy, keep your armenian gampr dog on a leash when out in public. Simply trust that your dog will return to you whenever you call. An armenian who is violent or disobedient dog's can't play with children.
