Spread the fruit is growing rapidly with a trip samakin Columbus who brought this fruit around the world.

Growing conditions
Climate

Wine is one of the plants that live in low lying areas. Unlike most other plants, the vines would require a long dry season range from 4-7 months to grow well and light intensity is high enough. Rainfall is needed by this plant is only 800 mm per year. Therefore, excessive watering can disrupt the process of conception. The temperature for maximum growth is 31 degrees Celsius and minimum temperature is 23 degrees centigrade with humidity ranging between 75-80%.

It is so like the Count that he was providing his meadow for similar events the townspeople with the condition that six weeks before Christmas, they will pick up the “Raging Bull”.
Anyone who has read about the bull-baiting dogs, can be concluded that the original Bulldog was a fierce dog. His appearance of absolutely no significance, the beauty and harmony of speech was not. It is hard to imagine what possessed the extraordinary courage of these dogs. Having a family for many generations of military ancestors, these dogs have become so bold and ferocious, as if did not feel pain. This was the bulldog of old England.

Male Shar-Pei puppy sitting

It is believed that the ancient and unique breed – a Chinese Shar-Pei – occurred from near the small village of Tai Li in Guangdong Province and has existed for centuries in the southern provinces of China, apparently since the Han Dynasty (200 BC. E .). Figurines were found, much like the shar-pei, who referred to this period. Recently was transferred to a Chinese manuscript of the XIII century, which mentions about a dog with pleats in their qualities are very reminiscent of shar-pei.
Title Shar Pei literally means “sand skin” or more loosely translated “rough as sandpaper, wool. This refers to two distinctive qualities of wool shar-pei – stiffness and short length that makes this dog unique in the canine world. In shar-pei is another feature which it shares with just one breed – chow-chow – a blue-black tongue, which may indicate a common ancestor of both breeds. However, the evidence of such a relationship is difficult to find.
History of Chinese Shar-Pei is full of blind spots. But we know that after China became a communist country, the number of dogs there has dropped significantly. Dogs became little in cities and in rural areas are almost gone. During this period, the Shar-Pei were bred in small numbers in Hong Kong and Taiwan.
Around 1968 the breed recognized and registered the Kennel Club of Hong Kong. Subsequently, the Kennel Association of Hong Kong and Kowloon (Kowloon) has established a registry of dogs and brought back shar-pei. This organization and to this day registers the breed, as well as other organizations in Taiwan, Japan, Korea, as well as in Canada, Britain and some European countries

In the United States-documented history of this breed dates back to 1966 when there were imported several dogs from breeding stock registered with the Kennel Club of Hong Kong. October 8, 1970 Association of American breeders registered Chinese Shar-Pei for JC Smith. Interest in the breed has increased significantly in 1973 when Metgo Lo from the nursery Down Homes in Hong Kong, appealed to dog lovers in the United States with the slogan “Save the Chinese Shar-pei!”. People enthusiastically responded to this appeal, and the fall of 1973 in the United States was brought a limited number of these dogs because they were rare. Their new owners to communicate with each other and decided to establish a national club and registry for these dogs. The American Club Chinese Shar-Pei (AKLKSH) held its first organizational meeting in 1974, and since then it exists constantly. The first national exhibition was held in 1978, since such exhibitions are held each year.
AKLKSH leading stud book and is actively promoting this unique, attractive and devoted dog. On May 1988, when the AKC accepted shar-pei in the mixed class, there were 29,263 registered dogs. In October 1991, the Shar-Pei received the full recognition of ACE and was listed at 6-th group: Unsportsmanlike dog. ”
Permissible length of coat Chinese Shar-pei range from very short “horse” coat to the hair, not exceeding 2.5 cm at the withers.
Each type has its own peculiarities. Since hard-coat – a distinctive feature, it is important that it has not been lost in the dogs with “horse” coat. Thanks to the popularity of the longer coat in some dogs after a few generations it can soften or lengthen. If every 2-3 generations to add the blood of dogs with a “horse” fur coat acquires rigidity and the length of the specified standard

Obtain evidence of an ancient origin of chow-chow, this majestic and proud dog, hard, and it is in no small measure due to that ruthlessness with which the Chinese emperors destroyed works of art and literature of their predecessors. Yet not so long ago has been found relief, referring to the Han Dynasty (150 BC. Er.), Where the chow is portrayed as a hunting dog at that time. Although this implies that the age of this breed is over 2000 years, many experts believe that the chow is much older, so this is really one of the oldest breeds of dogs.
Was put forward the theory that the chow is derived from the crossing of the old Tibetan Mastiff and Samoyed – from northern Siberia. Certainly, b chow manifest some of the qualities of both breeds. But this idea belies the fact that Chow has a blue-black tongue. From this some conclude that chow – an independent breed, and that
This breed could be among the ancestors of Samoyed, Norwegian huskies, kishonda and Spitz – they all have some similar type.
In our time, Chow became a fashionable pet dogs and guard, although there is ample evidence that in China it for centuries was the main hunting dog. Probably the most unusual and luxurious kennels throughout history has been one of the emperors of the Tang Dynasty about the VII century AD. er. It was so large that the emperor could not use and of what it had. In this kennel contained 2500 pairs of type chow hounds, and the service of the emperor consisted 10,000 rangers.
Apparently, Chow is an extremely gifted rock, because this dog is used for almost any job. Paying tribute to the beauty of this dog’s instinct, tenacity and ingenuity, it is often used in the hunt for the Mongolian pheasant and Yunnan francolin, the dog always been speed and endurance

There is no doubt that the birthplace of the chow-chow is much farther north, but these dogs have always been mostly in southern China, particularly in the area of ??Canton. In this area of ??China where this dog is considered a radical, it is usually called chernoyazykoy or chernorotoy. In the north, for example in Beijing, it is called the “Lang Kou (wolf dog),” hsiung Kou (bear dog) or a little more complicated: “Hey Shae-t’ou (chernoyazykoy) or kuantung kou” (Cantonese dog).
Name Chow has little to do with China is that this expression originated in the late XVII century, the Anglo-Chinese hybrid word referring to the goods brought from any part of the Eastern Empire. It means all sorts of gadgets, including such antique gizmos like figurines made of porcelain and ivory, what we today call “different difference”. The ship’s captain was much easier to write a “chow-chow, we describe their cargo in detail. Over time, this expression was turned on and the dog.
For the first time made the West a description of Chow was written by Reverend Gilbert White, a priest of Selborne, England. It was later published in “Natural History and Antiquities of Selborne.” This description is very complete and indicates that dogs are not too different from modern specimens. A neighbor of the priest in 1780 brought a pair of chow from Canton on board East India Company.
However, the import of chow-chow in England began only in 1880, and the popularity of this breed began to take after she became interested in Queen Victoria. The first specialized club was founded in England in 1895. This dog is the first time took part in an exhibition in the United States in 1890, when it belonged to Miss A. Derby bitch named Takiyeh recorded as chow-chow, took third place in the “mixed class” at the Westminster Kennel Club in New York.
AKC officially recognized the breed in 1903. American club chow was adopted by the AKC in 1906. Today it is one of the most deep-rooted in America rocks

With regard to this ancient breed, the researchers strongly agree that it is no change took place over many centuries.
Based on the available prints, sculptures, paintings and written evidence developed different views – this spotted dog first appeared in Europe, Asia and Africa. These differences can be explained by the fact that these dogs are often found in the gypsy camp and they, like their owners, the Gypsies are not tied to one place. Reputable dog breeders consider their homeland of Dalmatia, the region in the west near the Adriatic coast of Yugoslavia, which had (from 1815 to 1919) was a province of Austria. Although this dog is credited with a dozen nationalities and as many local names – the English called it “an English Karetnaya dog”, “pudding with prunes”, “Fire
dog “and” calico dog “- its proper name Dalmatian, it is connected with its first documented by home. Mention of this breed as a dalmatian, we find in the documents the middle of XVII century. There is no doubt that the origin of rocks as old as that of other breeds

No matter how he worked, he does it with all my heart, with skill, which ensured him the reputation as the only dog ??in the world, accompanying the crew. Dedication – its most recognized feature.
There is no more beautiful a dog than a mottled animal with a smooth white hair, painted clearly defined round spots of jet-black or dark brown.
