At the same time, people living in cottages and private houses with garden plots choose dogs, capable of protecting the territory and possessions of the owner.
IN general view The top 10 popular dog breeds look like this:
10th place: Chow-chow
There are many versions of the origin of this breed, but most experts are still inclined to believe that chow chow- a distant relative of the Shar Pei. These dogs, both of which originated in China, are distinguished by their purple tongue.
Chow-chow – working dog and a companion dog. In ancient times, Chow Chows helped reindeer herders, fearlessly driving away packs of wolves from herds, guarding houses, hunting and being used as draft animals.
However, Chow Chows feel quite comfortable in the small apartments of modern Russians. Chow chows will not require long walks or jogging from the owner. These animals only need a short walk and a minimum of attention.
They are tolerant of children and animals in the house, although they do not express much joy in their presence. But if the owner “gives slack” in some matter, the chow chow will instantly feel it and will certainly try to establish dominance over the household. Therefore, dogs of this breed need a domineering owner.
IMPORTANT: The dog’s thick, dense coat requires special regular care.
Chow chow 9th place: Shar Pei
Shar Pei considered a descendant of the Chow Chow. Back in 1978, the breed was noted by the Guinness Book of Records as the rarest breed in the world. But the cute, funny appearance of the plush dogs and the funny folds on their body quickly did the trick. The 21st century can safely be called the era of the Shar-Pei, because today every 60 Russian families have a Shar-Pei.

It's no secret that fashion is a fickle lady. Trends change literally every day. And this applies not only to clothing and decor, but also to the breed of dog.
Fifteen years ago, large dogs were popular in Russia - Central Asian and German shepherds, collies, Newfoundlands and St. Bernards. Now Russians, especially residents big cities, tend to give preference to small and decorative breeds of dogs.
There may be many reasons why small dog breeds have become the most popular dog breeds in Russia. In the mid-90s, there was tension and even fear in society. People tried to get large guard dogs, for example, shepherds, or fighting dogs - bull terriers, American Staffordshire terriers.
In the 2000s, society “breathed out”, and the dog became more of a companion than a protector. In addition, it is much cheaper and more convenient to keep a small dog in a city apartment.
Fashion also plays an important role in choosing a dog breed when buying a puppy - for example, the corgis of the British Queen Elizabeth II attracted everyone's attention to this breed, and the black Labrador Koni of Vladimir Putin stirred up interest in these large dogs. We offer you a selection of the most popular dog breeds.
Its ancestors were herding dogs, so the German Shepherd is usually very attached to its owner. With good training, these are balanced dogs, calm and obedient. You could say that this is a good choice even for an inexperienced dog breeder.
Labradors were bred in Newfoundland in the last third of the 19th century; the first representatives of the breed appeared in Russia in the middle of the 20th century. It is large, energetic and strong dog With an easy-going nature, in the past they were mainly used as guide dogs, rescuers and simply as labor. Labradors are practically never aggressive and are well suited to living in a large house, in a family with children.
Presidential gift
In Russia, Shar Peis are loved for their unusual, “folded” appearance and devotion to their owners. Adult Shar-Peis are very wary of strangers, but they jealously guard “their own.”
However, the husky requires a lot of attention. This breed has been developing for centuries in the north as a sledding and working breed, and in the metropolis the Husky simply has nowhere to put his energy. She needs to spend a lot of time, walk and exercise, do training, play with a ball or Frisbee. Experienced breeders advise changing walking routes so that the dog’s intelligence and sense of smell do not “stagnate.”
Breeders say that Chow Chow dogs are very loving, but reserved. They show their affection only to the most important people. The Chow Chow is wary of strangers and sometimes aggressive if provoked into contact.
Spaniels - very energetic dogs who behave like puppies most of their lives. This can be corrected by training, long walks and physical activity, but a dog breeder who decides to get a cocker spaniel should keep this in mind.
In addition, the Cocker Spaniel requires careful grooming. Their long hair needs to be combed and trimmed regularly, and the dog needs to be washed at least once a week. By the way, spaniels are excellent swimmers.
Today, beagles are kept mainly for their small size and cheerful, affectionate nature. Difficulties in his upbringing are created by the innate instinct of the explorer: during a walk, the beagle loves to run away in an unknown direction in search of adventure, so you should not let him off the leash.
Beagles have a sociable character and will feel good in a large family, especially if there are children in it.
The most difficult thing is caring for an English Bulldog. It is important to monitor his diet so as not to overfeed the dog. The bulldog also has certain health difficulties. Centuries of selection have led to the fact that these dogs depend on their owners more than others - they cannot even scratch themselves due to their short legs, and also need regular massage.
In the city, you will have to walk a lot with a Jack Russell Terrier; they are brave and hardy explorers of the world around them. In an apartment, the Jack Russell Terrier will get bored and start gnawing on everything he can get his hands on, so the breeder should play with him more often and take him for walks.
These are life-loving small dogs with a friendly character, easy to train, very fond of children. Corgis love games and long walks. They do better in the cold than in the warm, so they are better adapted to life in a temperate region.
In full accordance with its status, the Pekingese demands attention and respect. Pekingese love to be pampered and treat others kindly, but with a bit of arrogance. If you don't pay enough attention to these dogs, they can start playing pranks in the house, gnawing and throwing things around, and getting into exactly those places where they shouldn't.
Despite his innate devotion to his owner, the Spitz can prove to be very stubborn, so you should not neglect his training. Without the confident, strong hand of the breeder, the Pomeranian Spitz will quickly “sit on its head” and try to subjugate the owner.
With a healthy approach from an experienced breeder, an energetic, cheerful and loyal Dachshund can live a long and prosperous life. Dog breeders are advised to carefully train the dachshund: despite its small size and generally non-scandalous character, the dachshund can show serious aggression.
Compared to other dwarf breeds (for example, pinschers), the Chihuahua has a very stable psyche and peaceful character. These kids have an almost human character: they are affectionate, touchy and vulnerable. Chihuahuas can often be jealous and offended if the owner forgets about the pet.
Celebrities introduced the fashion for dwarf dogs
Of course, Western and Russian celebrities did the most to popularize this breed. Celebrities often appear in public with Yorkshire Terrier under the arm. Anfisa Chekhova, for example, does not part with her Yorkie named Coffee, and Ksenia Borodina named her pet Strudya.

Vasily 07/06/2015 01:59I quote Elena:
Why devote all the time to a dog if I can devote it to my child? And the dog’s intelligence lies precisely in the fact that it understands the commands and rules of life in the family right away, and there is no need to study with it for years. You know, if I devote a couple of years exclusively to a dog, I’ll turn a dachshund into the smartest dog.
It is immediately obvious that an amateur is writing.
You will never make a dachshund the smartest dog, don't write funny things. This will happen on a bench with grandmothers, but not here.
One of the smartest collies remembered more than 1 thousand words; your dachshund will never remember so many.
And I didn’t say that you need to devote all your time to a shepherd dog. You are twisting my words. I said that most people don’t work with dogs at all. What will smart dogs do with such owners? Howl from boredom? Go crazy? By the way, some working dogs can, if they don't have a job, get mental illness.
Therefore, they are not needed for people who have neither experience nor desire to work with dogs.
And anyway, what is the point of my posts here? Write a response to a woman who will make a dachshund the smartest dog. Ha-ha-ha, it’s immediately obvious that the person has never seen truly smart dogs, and has never worked with them. And it’s good that such people get show dogs.
The more popular the breed, the worse it becomes, because when Stefanitz (the founding father of the breed) was engaged in the German Shepherd, he bred super-dogs. But when Germans are hired by lazy people and those who don’t work with dogs at all, then they don’t need the same qualities that experts like Stefanitz respect. But lazy people want to brag to their friends that they have a German. Thanks to millions of such lazy people, the show German Shepherd appeared.
But a real German Shepherd, a working German Shepherd (this is already two years ago) different breeds), remained. And if Stefanitz were alive today, he would be horrified by the modern show German shepherd. This is the result of the influence of fashion. Millions of lazy people want Germans, but they don’t want to deal with Germans. For such people there is a show German: it seems to be called a German, he seems to look beautiful, but he is stupid, cowardly, but you don’t need to do anything with him.
And those who understand dogs, they have other Germans. It’s funny, of course, to read amateurs who claim that they will make the smartest dog out of a dachshund. But this is forgivable, because people have never seen the smartest dogs.
Well, try Elena, make your dachshund obey like the dog from the following video (you can find it on YouTube): Jozef Adamuscin 97 FCI IPO 2013. You will never teach your dachshund like this, you can only say this to grandmothers on a bench in the garden ( and this working German Shepherd also perfectly protects the owner, and is amazing at following the scent, and the dog is tough, a real German, what Stefanitz wanted to get when he started breeding dogs).
And your dachshund will never remember 1 thousand words like a border dog, or even a couple hundred.
You just say such things because you have never seen smart dogs, and what you saw on the benches are not dogs at all, but a parody of dogs. I'm not talking about decorative dogs, because they are not supposed to be smart, but about Germans and other serious service dogs.
It's a pity for dogs that so many of them end up with amateurs and lazy people. The fate of the German is unenviable, who is forced to walk for 5 minutes a day in the morning and evening, and sleep the rest of the time. But this happens all the time. That's why we have such Germans.
| |In our article we will present you the top 10 most expensive dog breeds. It should be noted that the concept of “valuable breed” itself does not exist. As a rule, the external exclusivity of animals is assessed. However, a question that often comes up is, “What is the most expensive dog breed?”
Despite the general recognition that the Akina Inu is a dog classical forms, her appearance is very original. A large head with a powerful forehead, heavy, massive paws and unusually shaped ears that make it look like a bear cub. The dog is harmoniously built and belongs to large breeds. It is noteworthy that man did not take part in the creation of this beauty; nature worked entirely here.
Akita's ancestor was ancient dog matagiina, who lived in the Odate Mountains in the 8th century. She helped the man hunt wild boar and bear. “For special merits” in this matter, the dogs began to be called Akina Inu, which translated means “respected hunter.”
The breed began to actively develop in the 18th century. It received its name from Akito Prefecture, which is considered its homeland. Beautiful and intelligent dogs at the imperial court received special status. Only representatives of high society could have such an animal.
