We learn interesting: what are the breeds of dogs

Who among us, walking along the street, was not touched by the sight of a little funny puppy in someone's arms? Or noticing how a small doggie is dressed in a specially tailored doggie for him? Who did not have fear (or at least a little apprehension), at the sight of a huge and evil sentry dog in the yard of someone's private house?

Someone of us himself owns the man's best friend . And different people prefer to start different breeds of dogs, giving preferences to one or another breed, guided by the choice of their criteria.

For today in the world it is deduced more than thousand varieties of breeds of dogs. And only about five hundred of them are officially registered. And until the middle of the XIX century. Almost 80% of the currently existing rocks did not exist at all.

And only in the second half of the XIX century. Purebred breeding of dogs was observed. This is evidenced by the records that began to be kept, and the fact that various dog organizations began to appear in which these records were kept.

In addition, at this time the first breed standards (descriptions of characteristics) for different breeds were determined and the first dog shows were held.

Then the science of heredity began to develop, and purebred breeding acquired its modern appearance. The leap in this process occurred quickly and seriously. The man began to change this animal, as if "doing" for himself. The variety of dog breeds is very large at the present time and they differ according to the most diverse features: size, color, character features, temperament and even purpose. In this article, we will not touch any particular species of these animals, but consider what kinds of dogs there are in general.

There are several signs that distinguish dogs. Dogs can be:

• Hunting;
• Service;
• Decorative.

And such:

• Small;
• Average;
• Large;
• Dwarfish.

There is also a more specific division. Here are some kinds of dogs:

• for children;
• Hypoallergenic;
• Fighting;
• for hunting;
• For protection;
• for guard;
• Guides;
• Watchdogs;
• Driving;
• Northerly;
• Tibetan;
• Hounds;
• Pocket;
• Room;
• Home;
• Rare breeds;
• Expensive breeds;
• Clever breeds.

But it's important not so much what breeds of dogs there are, but how much that each of them requires a certain, suitable only for her care. And what is suitable for one breed, is not suitable for another.

Therefore, if you decide to choose a dog for yourself or, perhaps, as a gift to someone from your relatives or friends, carefully think about what kind of breed will be the most suitable option. And in order to make a choice more competently, take a few tips on yourself.

First, when choosing a dog, remember that it is equally important for a dog what conditions for life you can give it to. For example, if you live in a one-room apartment, then it is not recommended to get an Irish wolfhound or a Moscow watchdog in it. These are very large for a dog's apartment. Also, you should not put a dachshund or Pekingese in the booth to protect a private house. These breeds of dogs are small, and there will be no sense from such protection. Think about what kind of lifestyle you lead, where you live and where the dog will live, what you are going to do with it and for what purposes it will serve you. When choosing, be guided by this.

Secondly, assess your physical capabilities and the size of the dog. A fragile girl will experience many difficulties with a huge and heavy dog. Especially at that time, while the puppy does not know where to spend excess energy, and is torn in all directions. Strong same man such a dog will be able to, and a miniature dog is not very suitable.

Thirdly, this is the quality of the wool. There are long and short-haired dogs. It all depends on your desire and interests. If you like to tinker with wool, and you will enjoy combing your dog, then the first option is right for you. Well, if you do not have a lot of zeal to collect the tatters of a dog's "fluff" around the house, and you like short furrows, then for you - the second option.

Another important point is the temperament of the dog. Try to choose a pet so that its character suits yours. This will bring harmony and understanding into the relationship with the dog. Probably, and you have often noticed that often a dog and its owner are somewhat similar in character and even similar in appearance.

Summarizing the article, it should be noted that after you have learned and figured out what kind of dog breeds are, the choice will be much easier. With a good scenario, having made the so-called "drop-out", you will have 3-5 choices that suit you. And it's much easier to choose from them, than from a hundred.

The main thing is to approach the choice with the mind, and treat the animal with love.
