English Bulldog Posted: 28 Mar 2011 12:13 PM PDT Small cute English Bulldog puppy As far as we know, the bulldog is happening to the British Isles, and his name (literally “bull dog”) is associated with the use of dogs for baiting bulls. One can hardly say with certainty when it is born old English pastime, but in “Stemfordskom review” about its possible origin says: “The Count of William Warren, who ruled this city during the reign of King John (1209), standing on the walls of his castle in Stamford , saw two bulls, which are in the meadow in front of the castle fighting over a cow as long as the dog did not pursue one of them and drove him mad by barking through the city. 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. Funny English Bulldog male Sleeping on the kitchen floor But since 1835 dog fighting in Britain were banned. Thus, the English bulldog was not needed, and his days were numbered. However, found fans who did not like this situation, they wanted to preserve this wonderful breed. Moreover, the aggressiveness was unnecessary and undesirable, they sought to preserve all the other wonderful qualities of the breed. With this calculation breeders began to eliminate undesirable traits and retain the best quality. Purposeful breeding yielded results: after a few generations of an English bulldog has become one of the nicest dogs, losing the his original ferocity. This is the bulldog we know today.

Chinese Shar-Pei Posted: 28 Mar 2011 11:34 AM PDT 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.

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.

Chow-Chow Posted: 28 Mar 2011 11:13 AM PDT Three Adult chow chow dogs on the kitchen floor 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.

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.
