Dog breeders – My Virtual Content many aspects of a person's life Mon, 19 Nov 2018 20:00:39 +0000 en-US hourly 1 100882458 Breeders: Bracco Italiano Sun, 29 May 2016 19:45:00 +0000 The Bracco Italiano is a classic pointer with an elegant, loping gait and a strong instinct for game. The breed’s origins can be traced back centuries. The Bracco developed in Italy, descending from Molossus and Egyptian Hounds.

By the Middle Ages, it was a recognized breed, and the dogs’ popularity spread during the Renaissance. Today, Bracci Italiani are uncommon in Europe but even rarer in the United States: Fewer than 200 live here, and just a few males are registered as studs for breeding. Intelligent and devoted to their sporting duty, Bracci also crave human companionship.


The Bracco – or Italian Pointer- should be athletic and powerful in appearance, most resembling a cross between a German Shorthaired Pointer and a Bloodhound, although it is nothing like them in character. It has pendulous upper lips and long ears that create a serious expression. It should be “almost square”, meaning that its height at the withers should be almost the same as the length of its body. It should not however be actually square as this would render its famous rear driving push off and front/rear extension to be compromised, thus losing much of its powerful grace.

The Bracco’s short, dense, shiny coat can be white; white with orange or dark amber markings; white with chestnut markings; white with speckled pale orange markings; or white with roan-chestnut markings. A weekly once-over with a grooming mitt is all that’s needed to keep him looking sharp.

Belles chiots Border Collie

Les Border Collie exigent un exercice physique quotidien considérable et la stimulation mentale. Le Border Collie est une race de chien intelligent; en fait, il est largement considéré comme la race du chien le plus intelligent. Bien que le rôle principal du Border Collie est d’être un chien de troupeau de bétail, ce type de race est de plus en plus populaire comme un animal de compagnie.

S’il y a un côté sombre à l’énergie du Border Collie et l’attitude de bourreau de travail, il sort quand il est entré dans une famille qui ne le comprend pas. Il est pas un câlin, chien canapé-pomme de terre. Il ne veut pas être dorlotés. Il veut – et doit – un emploi.

Il doit avoir une tâche, que ce soit en fait paître des moutons ou en compétition dans les sports de chien. Une marche rapide ou un jeu de chercher tous les jours ne sont pas suffisamment d’activité pour le Border Collie.


Cela dit, pour le titulaire du droit, un Border Collie est un chien merveilleux à vivre avec. Son intelligence et la nature traitable rendaient faciles à former. Il est sensible et, selon ceux qui le connaissent bien, il a une étrange capacité à savoir ce que vous allez lui demander avant de la poser.

Pomeranians are typically friendly, playful and lively but are often aggressive to other dogs. Pomeranians are alert and aware of changes in their environment and barking at new stimuli can develop into a habit of barking excessively in any situation. They are somewhat defensive of their territory and will thus bark a lot when they encounter any outside noises. Pomeranians are intelligent dogs, respond well to training, and can be very successful in getting what they want from their owners. They are extroverted and enjoy being the center of attention but can become quite aggressive and dominant if not well trained. The use of toys can be an effective tool in encouraging pomeranians to spend time alone.

]]> 0 5843 Breeders: Samoyed Mon, 29 Feb 2016 17:49:11 +0000 A medium-sized white dog with the “smiling” face, the Samoyed was brought out of Siberia at the end of the last century and the early part of this century to pull sledges on Arctic and Antarctic expeditions. These valiant dogs endured terrible hardships serving man in his quest for the Poles, with only a few returning. The Samoyed was originally used to hunt, herd reindeer, and haul sledges for the Samoyed people in the northwest of Siberia.

Samoyed family


The Samoyed combines strength, agility, dignity and grace in a general spitz outline. Slightly longer than it is tall, it is nonetheless compact. It has a strong, muscular body that is able to combine power, speed, agility and endurance. It has a quick, agile stride with good reach and drive. Its double coat is heavy and weather resistant. The undercoat is soft and thick, whereas the outer coat is straight and harsh, standing straight out from the body, and glistening with a silver sheen. Its expression is animated, with the characteristic “Samoyed smile” created by the upturned corners of its mouth.

Samoyed puppies

Gentle and playful, the Samoyed makes a good companion for a child or person of any age. It is a closely bonded family dog. It is amiable with strangers, other pets and usually, other dogs. It is calm indoors, but this clever, sometimes mischievous breed needs daily physical and mental exercise. If allowed to become bored, it will dig and bark. It is independent and often stubborn, but it is willing to please and is responsive to its owner’s wishes. It may tend to herd children.

Breeders: Borzoi Mon, 29 Feb 2016 05:47:58 +0000 Possessed of a quiet dignity and independence, the Borzoi is sometimes compared to a cat.

A par of Borzois

Once known as the Russian Wolfhound, the Borzoi’s written history can be traced to 1650, when the first standard for the breed was written in his homeland, Russia. Bred for hundreds of years by Russian nobles, the Borzoi is believed to have been developed from the early Russian bearhound, the coursing hounds of the Tatars, and the Owtchar, a tall sheepdog.

The hunts of the nobles were quite the spectacle. They might involve more than one hundred Borzoi, hunted in trios of one female and two males, as well as an equal number of foxhounds, which were used to seek and flush the prey. When the wolf was sighted, the huntsmen released their dogs to capture, pin, and hold it. After they ceremoniously bound and gagged the wolf, the huntsmen sometimes set it free to be hunted again another day. These lavish hunting expeditions were common until 1861, when the serfs were emancipated and the nobles could no longer rely on an unlimited work force.

By 1873, few Borzoi remained, alarming those who admired the breed’s beauty and speed. Russian fanciers created the Imperial Association to protect and promote the breed’s characteristics, and the bloodlines of many Borzoi in America can be traced to dogs from the kennels of Imperial Association members. The association’s members included Grand Duke Nicholas, the uncle of Czar Nicholas II, and Artem Boldareff, a wealthy landowner.

The first Borzoi registered with the American Kennel Club was Princess Irma in 1891. In 1903, Joseph B. Thomas contributed to the establishment of the breed in America by making three trips to Russia to purchase dogs from the Perchino Kennel of Grand Duke Nicholas and the Woronzova Kennel of Artem Boldareff. The Borzoi Club of America, then known as the Russian Wolfhound Club of America, was formed that same year.

In 1936, the breed name was changed from Russian Wolfhound to Borzoi. Today, there is little difference between the Borzoi in your living room and his forebears in Mother Russia. He remains the same tall and glamorous sighthound that was one of the great treasures of Czarist Russia.

The Borzoi is a tall but slender dog and weighs anywhere from 60 to 120 pounds. His distinctive silky coat requires a fair amount of care, and needs to be brushed at least weekly. Many Borzoi owners have their dogs professionally groomed, and those who live in the country or who hunt with their hounds often keep their long “feathering” cut short. At mealtime, you’ll probably want to put his ears up in a snood to keep them from dragging in his food dish.

The Borzoi has a gentle spirit. His personality ranges from serious to silly. As a companion, you can expect him to be clean, quiet, sensible and smart. He’s also stubborn. But don’t let him fool you into thinking he can’t be trained. That might be what he wants you to think, but with the right motivation he’s more than willing to please. You just have to offer him the right inducement — usually food — and let him know that you love him and will never put him in harm’s way. And don’t bore him with repetition. You’ll lose his attention fast.

Off-leash, though, he explodes into a powerful, driving, floating gallop. The space where he is loosed to run must be safe and enclosed, else he will be out of sight in seconds. Breeders say the leading cause of death in Borzoi is being hit by a car.
