Perhaps the history of the breed dates back several centuries. By the end of XIX century in England rose sharply the problem of protecting large estates and parks from the raids of poachers. Punishment for them were brutal, but it turned out that poaching can not be stopped by law. Accordingly rangers life was hardly easy or safe. Poachers often preferred to engage in a gunfight with rangers than suffer the punishment which would follow if they are caught. It is therefore not surprising that hunters have decided to resort to using the most reliable defender, which nature has endowed man – to help the dog. Rangers did not care how it looks, if only dog ??served them faithfully. The test is passed, many of the breed. Brave and powerful mastiff lacked the speed and aggressiveness, a strong and active bulldog – that he was in those days – was too fierce and tall enough. Rangers wanted a dog that would not bark at the approach of poachers and fearlessly attacked them on command. Violators of forest boundaries should catch and fell to the ground, but not maim. To launch a new dog and bull mastiff crossed, so the breed bullmastiff was born for purely utilitarian purposes. Huntsman repeatedly argued about the quality of their dogs, while continuing dilution of the principle – “survival of the fittest.” For many years, bullmastiff used only as working dogs. The only person with whom they competed, was a man. In those days, bullmastiff often called “gamekeepers night dog”. Nowadays you can find interesting documents relating to the birth of rock. One of them appeared in the book “Taming the Dog,” published in 1885: “The bullmastiff good feel. I knew a mestizo – of the Bullmastiff and Mastiff – who could walk on the trail of a man no worse Bloodhound. The newspaper “Field” of 20 August 1901 we find the following: “Mr. Burton from the nursery Thorneywood led to the exhibition” night dog “(not rings) and offered one pound to anyone who could get away from it. A dog wearing a muzzle and one of the breeders, lovers volunteered to compete with it, much to posmeshil numerous audience, composed mostly of hunters and gamekeepers. When he ran, released the dog, which quickly overtook chased and knocked him to the ground from the first throw. Downcast bravely tried to fight with the animal, but it knocked him off his feet whenever he ascended, and in the end he remained lying pressed against the ground until the owner of the dogs are not pulled it. The man tried three times to escape, but to no avail – every time a dog poured it. ” For such work preferred dogs dark brindle, because it is less noticeable. The breed gained popularity after the cast-on blood mastiff and the emergence of a large number of light-deer dogs. With the disappearance of poaching Bullmastiff was used as a guard dog, and deer color became a major. Black mask and dark-colored ears bullmastiff inherited from the Mastiff. Finally, thanks to the increased popularity of the breed enthusiasts were on a scientific basis breeding purebred dogs. Rock type stabilized by 1924, when it recognized English Kennel Club. In those years separated M?tis and purebred bullmastiff. Purebred dog is considered to be three generations of which were free from the mastiff and bulldog. In several exhibitions were given separate breed ring, and in 1928 it became award of titles and issue a certificate of a candidate for champions. Over time, bullmastiff found in many countries because they were exported from Britain to Thailand, India, Federation of Malaysia, Africa and America.

The great naturalist Buffon (1707 – 1788) considered the main successor to the Irish wolfhound dog. French naturalist Cuvier (1769 – 1832) found evidence that the Irish wolfhound is derived from the English Mastiff. It is known that both the Irish and British breed carefully derived for over 1300 years. Today, most scientists believe that the Great Dane, or Deutsche Dogge, remember, and by crossing these two ancient rocks.

Great Pyrenee Posted: 10 Apr 2011 03:57 AM PDT This is Great Pyrenee dog with white coat, great hunting dog, dog perfect for guard. Long haired dog. No other breed can boast such a colorful and long history in the service of man, as big Pyrenean dog, Le Grande Chien des Montagnes, Le Chien des Pyrenees, or, as she is known in England and on the European continent, the Pyrenean mountain dog. This is a breed of French nobility and royal court, the breed of peasant shepherds who worked on the high slopes of the Pyrenees. Her remains are found in archaeological strata belonging to the Bronze Age, which dates back about her appearance in Europe 1800 – 1000 years BC. er., although there is speculation that a large Pyrenean came here much earlier – along with the migration of Aryan tribes into Europe from Central Asia or Siberia. I also think that a big Pyrenean dog – a descendant of the mastiff, whose remains are found in the oldest archaeological layers of the Baltic and North Seas, indicating the existence of the domestic dog. Images like the dog is in the works of Babylonian art relating to the end of the third millennium BC. er. Appearing in Europe, most Pyrenean dog, staying in the seclusion of the highlands before the onset of the Middle Ages, under the influence of climatic conditions has evolved to the modern type. Her images have been found near the Royal Arms in relief of Carcassonne, made 500 years before in the XVII century the breed was recognized in the royal court. Back in 1407 historian Burde, describing the security lock of Lords, wrote that along with armed soldiers guard suffered heavy Pyrenean dogs, which have a special place in the sentry boxes, and they are also accompanied by prison guards of the castle during their daily rounds. Their use for these purposes has become widespread in every big castle could be seen Pyrenean mountain dogs. In 1675 while visiting the city Barrezha young heir to the throne of France, accompanied by Madame de Maintenon, fell in love with the beautiful Patou (common name for a shepherd dogs) and insisted to take him to the Louvre, where they succumbed to the charms of the Marquis de Luvua. Thus assistants shepherds from the Pyrenees were domestic dogs the French nobility. As soon as one big Pyrenean appeared at court, all court immediately wanted to be like a dog and the breed became popular. However, an innate sense of loyalty, protective instinct and ability to understand the man developed a great Pyrenees dog on an isolated mountain valleys. Where many predators roamed the hillsides, she guarded the herds of sheep. Most Pyrenean had acute instincts and vision have been indispensable shepherd – it was believed that the protection is worth two people Great Pyrenee baby dog with his father dog Nature defended her long, thick hair, so it almost invulnerable to attack, except for two points – the chin, and skull base. A man armed its broad iron collar with spikes chetyrehsantimetrovymi and Pyrenean dog became invincible enemy of wolves and bears, won deserved fame. She even began to call the Iberian wolfhound, the Iberian wolf hound and Pyrenean bear hound. The first settlers – the fishermen of Newfoundland – have made the best choice, taking this particular breed. By 1662, when the first permanent settlement, a large Pyrenean dog was named a reliable defender and a true friend. Here it crossed the black English retriever, brought by British settlers, and the result was a Newfoundland. Starotipny Landseer with black and white fur was closer to the Pyrenees dog, than the modern black Newfoundland dog, although both are very similar to each other. With the disappearance of predators in the Pyrenees breed, it seemed, was doomed to extinction. But it became so popular in Europe, that the dogs in large quantities were exported from France. Also thanks to the efforts of some French breeders and the fact that in winter this species used on the farm (when there was no grazing on the slopes), the number of dogs has increased so much that today they are again obzhili their native habitats. Most of the Pyrenees, is often called “Matt» (mat-dogs) – «dog-pad” for her habit of lying under doors, farm house, when she’s not busy at work, for example, carries no truck with the cargo. Most Pyrenean dog was generally recognized only after in 1933 it recognized the American Kennel Club. Hard to believe that even in 1824, General Lafayette had brought a couple of dogs as a gift to his friend JC Skinner. “He said that they have established themselves as invaluable assistants sheep in all areas where the sheep attacked by wolves and feral dogs,” – says Mr. Skinner, in his book “The Dog and Hunter. After that, in America several times brought some dogs, but only after 1933 began their current breeding. Today, most Pyrenean dog is one of the first places in the AKC stud book. The more this dog looks like a brown bear, except the white color and hanging ears, the closer it is to the preferred type. It is unlikely that will be found a more vivid and colorful species, and its aptly nicknamed “revived snowbank Pyrenees. First of all, guard and companion, pireneets can be a great hunter. She was pleased to pull carts loaded with, and knowledge of the dangerous places in the deep snow, making it an ideal pet for a pack work and guide to the ski trips. During the First World War it was used specifically as a beast of burden, for many years in the same way she bore smuggled goods on the Franco-Spanish border, by choosing the path that has not passed a man, and successfully avoiding customs.
