Content

History

The "West Siberian Laika" (Zapadno-Sibirskaรฏa Laรฏka), is the product of crossbreeding between the closely related species of Laรฏka de Chanteisk and Mansijak with Russian hunting dogs from the north of the Urals and Western Siberia. Outside its area of origin in areas mainly populated by hunters, This race has widely spread to central areas of Russia; This type of dog that abounds on these sites, they are reared in large installations. In different hunting regions there are special kennels for raising the West Siberian Laika.

Recognition by the FCI

Since 1980 the Russo-European Laika just like him East Siberian Laika have been recognized as independent breeds by the FCI in addition to the West Siberian Laika. But, the Yakutian Laika, as well as other types of Laรฏka, as the Jezdoraja Laika, the Nenezker Weather or the Karelo-Finnish Laika, are not internationally recognized until now. Within the FCI the three breeds of Laรฏka are classified in the group 5, Together with the Gray Norwegian Elkhound and the Karelian Bear Dog, form the Section 2 "Nordic Hunting Dogs" within this group.

Physical characteristics

It is a hunting dog of variable utility, but also shooting or for sledge. Is medium-sized, Slim and strong Constitution. Her bone structure is well developed, is not mass or rough. Muscle is strong and well developed. It has a strongly coiled tail, He takes her on the back or the back.

Its fur is hard, short, with developed internal fluff. The outer layer is thick and straight. The internal fluff is abundant and dense hair's outer layer which gives a distant and leafy appearance. In the head, You ears and part of limb hair is short. On the cross, neck and back of legs the hair is longer than forming a collar in the region of the neck and a beard in the cheek area; the rear extremities presents some feathers.

Is white, salt and pepper, Red or gray in all colors. Allow the color black, also spotted or with the same color plates.

Strong similarity to the wolf

With the often hairier males, it even produces a kind of mane. This feature is reminiscent of a wolf, with which the Laรฏka not only share the pointed and high ears, narrow wedge-shaped head and small oblique eyes, but also strong teeth and coat color, often similar to wolf.

Assorted coat colors and a typical striped tail

But, the colors of him West Siberian laika they are very diverse according to the wide area of โ€‹โ€‹distribution of the breed and the large number of local traits, ranging from pure white to black, pepper and salt, the color of the wolf, reddish brown, grey, the pied or the spotted. characteristic of all races Russian Laika is the striking striped tail, worn both on the side and on the back.

Character and skills

Independent hunter and close ally.

Like most hunting dogs, the West Siberian Laika also has some independence. Not only in hunting, but also as a watchdog, companion dog or sled dog, sometimes acts independently and autonomously. But, this does not mean that it cannot adapt to its humans. On the contrary: the Laรฏka feels closely connected to her reference person and always seeks their proximity. Even when hunting, never strays too far from his guide and makes sure each 20 or 30 minutes of hunter following.

The intense relationship with humans allows him Laรฏka – despite its original roots – be used as a herding dog, protection, guard or shooting.

Life in the family

Once an owner has earned the trust of his Laรฏka, even the most demanding training goals can be achieved. It is important that the West Siberian Laika has a firm place in his "pack" from the beginning and is allowed to participate closely in the life of his people. In doing so, bonds closely with its "pack leader", but also shows himself as a patient and loving companion when dealing with other family members, especially with the children. If you socialize early and comprehensively, living with other dogs and pets usually works without problems.

Activities ยซLaika of Western Siberiaยป

Despite these characteristics, the West Siberian Laika is and remains primarily a working dog, for whom his โ€œjobโ€ is as important as his people. A life as a pure domestic and family dog รขโ‚ฌโ€นรขโ‚ฌโ€นcertainly does not do justice to its nature.. Only if you can sufficiently demonstrate your stamina, agility, speed and intelligence, will present himself at home as a calm and balanced companion.

The West Siberian Laika wants to be "needed" and, therefore, you should definitely be given a task that challenges you both physically and mentally. Owners who don't run their Laรฏka like the hunter he is, they must provide for sufficient substitute employment, for example, in sport form (Agility), training dog sport, runway and nose work or training as a rescue dog.

Health ยซWest Siberian Laikaยป

Unlike many other dog breeds, which often developed rather by coincidence, Russian dogs already had very early exact ideas about the useful characteristics of this breed. The baby of him West Siberian Laika was soon put under strict controls and took place in central state approved breeding stations. In order to preserve the excellent qualities of hunting, officially organized tests were introduced. Dogs that did not meet the high usage requirements were systematically excluded from breeding..

Healthy and robust working dogs

Strict breeding requirements and tough selection led to the good hunting dog qualities and excellent sensory perceptions of dogs being preserved to this day. At the same time, high concentration on utility ensured that outward appearances became less of an affair. A breeding of pure beauty, that as the examples of other dog breeds show, often led to health problems, was avoided in the West Siberian Laika. Hereditary diseases typical of the breed, with which fashionable dogs often fight, are not known in this original breed. Even generalized joint diseases, such as dysplasia of the hip joint (HD), rarely occur in this Laรฏka.

Nutrition ยซLaika de Siberia Occidentalยป

Dog owners shouldn't change their diet too often either.. Although the West Siberian Laika is not very picky about his diet, the constant changes in the food plate could overload even his robust stomach. As a descendant of the wolf, dogs don't need many different foods to stay healthy. Unlike us humans, that we should have a diet as varied as possible and whose menu includes meat, fish and vegetables, as well as potatoes, noodles and other cereal products, dogs need meat above all. Both their teeth and their digestion are oriented to the processing of foods based on meat. Different types of meat and changing tastes are, by the way, desirable with respect to this main ingredient.

Discover our selection of dog food.

Pay attention to your dog's nutritional needs. Whether you feed your dog moist meat, dry, raw (BARF) or cooked, it is important that the quantity and content of the food meets the specific nutritional needs of your dog. These requirements depend on very individual criteria such as race, size, age, activity level and health status and may vary accordingly. If the composition is correct, a Laรฏka adult can get by on one or two meals a day. after feeding, the feeding bowl should be cleaned and should only be available again the next day or for the next meal. It is better to avoid snacking between meals or the constant administration of treats. But, fresh drinking water should always be available for your dog.

Buying a West Siberian Laika

With his healthy nature, robust and original, the West Siberian Laika satisfies many dog โ€‹โ€‹lovers' desire for something "wild" in our modern, civilized everyday lives. And finally, but not less important, the wolf appearance of this breed fascinates people. This natural beauty, coupled with excellent hunting performance, made of him West Siberian laika one of the most popular dog breeds of the former Soviet Union already in 1960.

How much does a โ€œWest Siberian Laikaโ€ puppy cost??

In Europe, the Time to fall still rarely seen. So it is extremely difficult outside of Russia to get a purebred Laika from a proven breeding line.. Long, arduous roads and a comparatively high puppy price between 1.300 and 1.500 EUR are the rule. Even if you have found a suitable breeder after a long search, you may be advised not to buy a Laรฏka. Don't be surprised if during the first meeting you are asked very personal questions about your profession., their living conditions, your future plans and marital status. For committed and serious breeders, the welfare of dogs is, as a last resort, more important than financial benefit. After all, keeping such a demanding animal takes a long time, experience and space.

People who are mainly attracted by the appearance and originality of this Laรฏka they must therefore carefully consider whether their living conditions and character really fit this breed. If in the end you are still convinced that the West Siberian Laika is the correct breed, You must prepare well for the purchase of the new "family member". Not only are you doing yourself a favor, but above all the dog, because this Laรฏka He demands all the attention of his handler and does not tolerate a change of owner very well..

Care for the ยซWest Siberian Laikaยป

Although the West Siberian Laika he is a very robust dog, you need not only a healthy diet but also proper care to stay healthy and vital. Its hard and soft top layer repels dirt and water well, but you still need to brush regularly (about twice a week). During the change of coat, you Laรฏka should be brushed daily to remove dead hair and strands. In general, owners of this dog breed should not be bothered by dog โ€‹โ€‹hair in the house, because although the West Siberian Laika he is basically a very clean dog, lose a lot of hair, that spreads across the sofa, the carpet and the floor. In addition to the toilet, the claws should be regularly shortened and the ears, teeth and feet should be checked and cleaned.

Keeping

Regarding the attention, the time required can be manageable, but the use of a Laรฏka alone takes a lot of time (free). Who chooses a West Siberian Laika should therefore not have to work full time. This human-oriented working dog is not cut out for long periods of solitude. As an original hunting dog needs a lot of career, an appropriate task and lots of contact with your reference person. A hatchery in a small town flat is, therefore, as unsuitable as a kennel. The Siberian breed dog feels more comfortable in a house with a large fenced garden, where you can be close to your humans at all times.

No dog for beginners

Also for the education of this Laรฏka a close relationship between dog and human is a basic requirement. If your dog trusts you, can trust your competence and sovereignty as โ€œpack leaderโ€ and is assured of your closeness and love, will follow you willingly – despite its original roots as an independent hunting dog. But in order to reliably fulfill the role of a competent leader of the pack, technical knowledge is required, consistency and strength of character. The West Siberian Laika certainly not a beginner dog.

History

The Laรฏka it is an original breed of dog from the far north. They are spread across the entire land mass of Eurasia, from Finland to the Bering Sea. The Laรฏka, in its three variants, It is the breed of dog with the largest closed range of all. In the first place it was called a hunting dog. In the villages of Siberia, However, it is useful in many ways. In addition to his role as a hunting dog, He is a protection dog and watchdog and has even proven himself as a sled dog..

Some associate a dog named "Laika" with the history of space travel. Because the dog Laika was the first living being sent into space by humans. His heat death in the cramped Soyuz capsule was planned from the start. But Laika is also the name of a breed of dog. Most of these dogs are extremely robust and intelligent with a huge gene pool.. The Laรฏka It is a breed of dog that has been recognized by the canine world since very early. From the time around 1880 there are several descriptions about these dogs. At that time the animals were already participants in Moscow dog shows.. For thousands of years they had enormous economic and cultural importance. Large parts of Siberia were able to develop by humans only with the help of these dogs.

In the Middle Ages to modern times the Laรฏka played a central role in the fur trade, what made old russia rich. The Laรฏka he was the best hunter of martens. ยซThe hunting dogs of the Sable they must be fugitives, with an exquisite nose, thin face and ears, and possess great acuity and intelligence." This is what it says in old reports.. Today, hunting wild boar and other game animals is the specialty of this breed. By the way, The name comes from the Russian word ยซlajatยป to ยซbarkยป. The Laรฏka seek and chase the game quietly at first. Once they have caught it, they start barking loudly so the hunter can find it – hence the name.

Until the years 40, the Laรฏka they were raised according to the old tradition. Without any more preambles, the most suitable specimens were taken for common work with and for humans. They were then provided with a standard for modern pedigreed dog breeding..
In 1947 Four races of Laika were established by the Russian Congress of Cynologists, three of them are recognized by the FCI today:

Then there is the Finnish Spitz, that the Russians call the Karelo-Finnische Laika. But the Laรฏka it has nothing to do with the spitz as we know it. They have a completely different nature, although they may look similar on the outside. The races of Laรฏka are very similar to each other and often only differ in detail.

Here we describe the Russo-European Laika, which has found a certain diffusion especially in eastern Germany. This still has its roots in GDR times.. Since 1950 the Laรฏka have been hunters here. Last, but not less important, many of those who worked in the construction of pipelines in the vastness of the Soviet Union brought the race Laรฏka To Germany.

Physical characteristics

The Russo-European Laika is a dog's size medium, strong, with a slightly longer and dense coat. On the head and ears the hair is short and dense. The construction is almost square. The Laika wears its well feathered tail on its back. The head is reminiscent of a European Spitz with wide awake eyes. Wears it upright like a triangle with pointed ears. The official FCI standard describes a strong dog: ยซThe muscles are dry and well trained. A strong bone structure. Sexual differences are clearly marked.. The height at the withers is between 52 and 58 centimeters in males. Bitches are a 2 smaller cm. No weight given. The coat color doesn't really play a role with the Laรฏka. In the Russo-European Laika black with white are considered the typical colors.

Character and skills

The Laรฏka is a thoroughbred hunting dog. Has a distinctive sharpness of play, defend the prey, it's focused, but not sharp.

The characteristics that recommend it as a hunting dog and that allow it to survive in the harsh living conditions of Siberia, do not facilitate its maintenance as a companion and family dog. So, serious breeding expressly attaches importance to a good socialization of the puppies already at the breeder.

As a thoroughbred hunter you have a high level of initiative and want to work independently and with perseverance.. Some experience is needed, consistency and patience to direct this independent head. Otherwise, he would follow his thoughts and instincts at the right opportunity and hunt on his own.

Needs a busy master or caregiver who is able and willing to allow a lot of movement. Worth it. The Laรฏka they are really big dogs: Highly intelligent, docile and seemingly unlimited capacity. You have to merge very closely with this dog. Then follow your caregiver without contradictions. It is a fantastic experience of nature to roam the landscape with this wide awake dog.

The ideal is, if you can lead him on the hunt. The Laรฏka is not a guard dog, but he is willing to defend his family effectively. In front of other dogs he has no interest or is even dominant; seems to feel he is far superior to most of the local domestic dogs with his rustic body control and keen emergency senses.

A true Laika, not bred for exhibitions, embodies a wonderful piece of Nordic nature.

Fitness

The Laรฏka not at all a dog for beginners. It has high demands on its maintenance, that stem from your destiny as a hunting dog. It also, it is a very independent working dog. If one wants to have the clear leading role as a human, this requires a lot of understanding of the dog. This opens up the possibility of a very special intimate relationship between man and dog., which is not based on submission but on mutual respect and true friendship. In addition to his passion for hunting, can also be used for the agility and other sports with dogs. Here, too, he shows himself to be enormously powerful but also demanding.. So it is not enough to go only once a week with him to dog sports. Monotonous reps aren't your thing either.

On the other hand, is not picky about attitude. But, a property (well secured) must be available, because at Laรฏka he likes to stay out, what is not to be confused with kennel maintenance. During the hunt, the animal never loses contact with its guide.. Shows an extraordinary sense of direction, a vital feature in the vastness of Russia. So almost always find – if you want – an exit from the property, and again. A proper hunting guide is ideal. Otherwise, need a teacher or a lover of outdoor sports. The breed is extremely robust and adaptable, but it is not a dog for a flat.

Education of the ยซEuropean Russian Laikaยป

The Russo-European Laika can be well trained for a very experienced dog owner. But you have to get involved with him very intensely. He is open and honest and likes to work with his master and mistress, although their "will to please" is limited. Not a partner for any kind of tricks. Has no problems and is frugal in daily handling, whenever you have your workload on hunting or dog sports.

Care and health of the ยซEuropean Russian Laikaยป

The Russo-European Laika it is absolutely easy to clean. Just needs a little grooming here and there, during the coat change a little more.

Nutrition

The Laรฏka is free of problems in its nutrition.

The life expectancy of the ยซEuropean Russian Laikaยป

It is not for the world of cacina exhibitions, the Laรฏka healthy breed can easily reach the 12 years and much more with a good physical condition.

Buy a Laika

As a buyer you should make sure you get a Laika from a breeder who does not inbreed and only allows natural mating.. Other practices are diametrically opposed to respect and love for these original and robust dogs. If you are interested in a Laรฏka, The first thing you should do is check if you want and can spend a close life, common and sporting with these dogs for at least the next ten years. Then you should get information from a local breeder, that is affiliated with a nodic dog club. A puppy of this breed costs around 1.000 EUR.

Typical diseases ยซEuropean Russian Laikaยป

The Laรฏka it is a very healthy and extremely robust breed of dog, as long as he's not unilaterally bred by a supposed beauty in the dog show business. Hardly any other breed of dog today is lucky enough to have access to such a large population., naturally original, to a genetic potential as great as the Laรฏka in the vastness of Russia. It can only be hoped that this great opportunity will be seized by the breeding clubs..

History

The history of the ยซLaika of Yakutiaยป is very extensive. For centuries, sleds pulled by dogs was something very important for the majority of peoples of the North of Russia, due to their way of life and the climate to which they were subjected. In the Neolithic, on the coast line of northeast Asia, These dogs were used for transportation and hunting.

At the beginning of the year 90, There was a finding on Zhokhov Island (Novosibirsk Islands, Yakutia), they found an archaeological site of hunters and dogs. It was investigated by an archaeologist from St. Petersburg, Vladimir Pitulko, there he found archaeological remains of sleighs, harnesses and that they still kept the bones of the dogs. Through the radiocarbon method, they demonstrated that these remains had an age of 7.800 to 8.000 years. This, It is the oldest find that has taken place in the Arctic..

Ethnographers MG Levin (1946), Smolyak AV (1978) and other authors, they share that since ancient times (up until the present day), for the aboriginal peoples of the north, the sled dogs were always universal animals: they were shooting animals, they were used also as food, and their skins were used for the manufacture of clothing and the rituals of worship. Times, the dogs were sacrificed and were used for religious ceremonies.

Many geographic discoveries in the Arctic were possible, with the sled dogs. The two poles of the Earth were discovered with the help of these dogs, in 1907, F. Cook and 1909 R. Piry reached the North Pole. In 1911, Amundsen was a Norwegian flag at the South Pole, in hostile climatic conditions, made 2.980 miles in 99 days with sled dogs.

Until 1960 sleds pulled by dogs teams were important and, sometimes the only available form of winter transport in the northern regions of Russia. They were used not only by the local population, but also by government agencies, including troops from the border, the postal service and scientific expeditions. According to data from file, at the end of the 50 years of 20th century, in Northern Uluses of Yakutia, the total number of dogs was 33 000. The decline of dog sledding in Russia began during the last thirty years of the 20th century., When appeared on the market the snowmobiles, This led to a decline of fur and the local fishing industry, that little by little led to the extinction of the use of sledge dogs…

"Give me winter and a team of dogs, and take all the rest" are the words of the famous northern traveler Knut Rasmussen, who made the trip longer on sledges pulled by dogs. This phrase describes the importance that have had these dogs to the length and breadth of history, and that in turn, shows that without them much of what we know today would belong to our ignorance.

The first written record of the dogs in the Yakutian territory dates of 1633. In the documents of the time, the olenek river, The Yana River and the Kolyma River were called "Rivers of Dogs". In Siberia, Rivers are divided into "dog rivers" and "deer rivers". In rivers rich in fish, It was easy to capture and store enough fish (dry fish – yukola) to feed the dogs and that's why they were called dog rivers. When there are fish no, it was difficult to use dogs for transport and reindeer were used, what are reindeer rivers. The journey along the โ€œrivers of dogsโ€ was more difficult, due to the continued need for fishing and hunting to obtain enough food for dogs.

In 1843, The ยซManual of Geography of the Russian Empireยป by Ivan Yakovlevich Pavlovsky was published, in this book, described the Yakutian Laika as a special race, as "a domesticated animal used for pulling sleds and hunting".

Landseer

The nature of Landseer and Newfoundland is very similar, considering the first one as something more agile.

Content

History

The Landseer was created together with Newfoundland on the east coast of Canada. The great island of Newfoundland, located off the coast of Canada, gave his ancestors his name. Just 100 years the ways of Landseer they separated from those of Newfoundland. The reason was that they wanted to keep their skin color black and white.. More on this later. Who descended from the dogs of the Vikings of pre-Columbian times, from Spain or from the dogs of the Indians, are legends that remain untested. But, according to the current genetic map of canine breeds prepared in 2017 by an international group of researchers led by Heidi G. Parker, there is a close relationship with the recuperators, What, like the Labrador, come from the same area. Probably the ancestors of the Landseer or Newfoundland arrived in North America with the first European settlers.

The big dogs proved to be important helpers for fishermen and sealers in the cold waters of the North Atlantic., and were also occasionally useful in hunting bears and big game. It also, landowners or Landseers they carried loads and even as a draft dog they are said to provide exceptional services. Working with fishermen in extremely harsh weather was very demanding. The Landseer had to think, had to do heavy work on the networks, saved the lives of the castaways over and over again. In this way he developed the peculiarities of his being and his physique.. He accomplished amazing things in the service of humanity. The Landseers or landowners came to England over and over again with cod ships as early as the 18th and early 19th centuries. Here he became famous very early for his impressive achievements.

The famous poet Lord Byron put in 1808 your dear boatswain Landseer an impressive monument. He had the words engraved on his tombstone: ยซHere rest the bones of one who possessed beauty without vanity, strength without exuberance, courage without savagery, and all the virtues of man without his vices". Here the greatness of character of these dogs is expressed, that can still be experienced today. The painter Sir Edwin Landseer immortalized his Newfoundlands black and white in oil several times around 1830. There is some evidence that dogs documented as Newfoundland Oh ya en Canis Earth News 1700 were predominantly black and white and that it was only later that the pure black or brown dogs that are typical of Newfoundland today. The black and white guy went out of style in England. But, Swiss and German cynologists and breeders brought the last good dogs from England and built a continental European breed.

To save these black and white dogs from Newfoundland, they were declared their own race around 1900, named after their famous painter ยซLandseerยซ. So this ancient type of dog with a great history was preserved for the world of dogs.. Since then, the Newfoundland and Landseers are raised separately. Later it is said that Kuvasz and Pyrenean Mountain Dogs were crossed to stabilize the white color of the soil.

In 1960 the Landseer (continental-european type) was officially recognized by the Fรฉdรฉration Cynologique Internationale.

Physical characteristics

According to the breed standard of the Landseer, You must give the impression of being a but powerful and well balanced. The legs are relatively longer than the black Newfoundland. The back is straight and strong. The hind legs and shoulders are muscular.

The upper layer must be long and as straight as possible, very dense and soft to the touch. The main color of the layer is white with various patches black in the rump, the neck, backsplash, belly, legs and the tail should be white.

Character and skills

Throughout its development, and even at maturity (that is not until the dog is of 3 or 4 years of age), the Landseer is a very active dog who likes to do all kinds of activities. Swimming, for example, is your favorite activity. So when a Landseer smells and sees the water, already no boundaries, jump to the water.

The Landseer he is a very accommodating dog with his master. It is active, has good temperament, but it is not a nervous dog. It is a very confident dog, Intelligent, loyal to their own people, fairly mild in nature and, When they are given sufficient exercise outdoors, it attaches very well to home life. In general terms, most of Landseer they are very independent and have a mind of its own. The Landseer is very easy to train, much love and patience will be rewarded with a partner for life.

As we said in previous lines to most of the Landseer, they love water and walks, It is therefore necessary to fulfill these wishes to the dog. Being on the water takes it as a job, reason why can take advantage of these time to play to find objects, launch toy water to make it look, It can be one excellent training both for the owner and as for the dog. It is a good diver and with appropriate training, they are able to find objects in the bottom of any Lake. In this regard, It is good to note that if you want to go swimming with your Landseer you should keep in mind that, the dog will try to rescue and towed back to land. So, no doubt have to be careful to do this the first time. Basic training is required so that the dog knows when you are playing, and when not. Any other activity with the family is also something that the Landseer always wants to do.

When it comes to behaviour towards other dogs, children and people there is no problem. Especially the Landseer, they love to children.

Sometimes he takes it easy, but a little motivated he is very cooperative and tries to make his lord and master happy. The puppy should already show itself clearly and without exception where the hammer hangs. There should be no doubt about the orientation of your humans, as well as on the intimate relationship with.

Always keep in mind that this dog is the strongest and that orientation only works through unquestionable recognition. But with praise and consequences you can basically accomplish everything with it. On the basis of a good education you can even train very well at Landseer.

Once you get to know Leonberger dogs better, you will be enchanted by them forever.

History

The Leonberger it is a very big and beautiful dog. In his head and in his charisma he remembers a St. Bernard and a lion at the same time. And this is not a coincidence, because the St. Bernard is one of the ancestors of Leonberger. The Leo, as his friends call it, It is a young and at the same time old breed of dog. This breed is ancient, because it has been specifically bred to the standard since 1846. The Leo It, therefore, one of the oldest dog breeds in modern breeding. At the same time it is a breed of young dog; because it was only created at that time. Most other pedigree dogs have a long history and originated from ancient working dog breeds..

The Leonberger, However, has a different and unique story. Among 1820 and 1850 San Bernardo became fashionable throughout Europe. The heroic exploits of the legendary St. Bernard Barry at the Great St. Bernard Pass in the Alps had a great effect. Barry has been shown to save more than 40 people of death by snow. Everywhere people wanted these big dogs and they were (and they are) really big dogs.

Breeders and traders were unable to meet the high demand. At the same time high prices were paid for a puppy of St. Bernard. So quite a few dog dealers from southwestern Germany helped out without further ado.. They mated St. Bernard with very big bitches from the region. The pups that looked like a St. Bernard they were sold as such, but for the others there were at most a few potatoes from a farmer. The dog trade was – as it still is today – a lucrative business and some sold hundreds of puppies a year and became rich.

Like Leonberg City Hall and dog vendor Heinrich Essig. An intelligent idea occurred to him and turned need into virtue. He created a brand out of the puppies that he could not market as St. Bernard. Instead of giving them away, sold the puppies for good money. Thus was born the Leonberger. Inspired by the lion from the coat of arms of his hometown, this new breed of dog has the appearance of a lion. His dogs were nicknamed Leonhardiner in the envious competition. Also in the official world of dogs these hybrids went unnoticed for a long time. Like this, el cinรณlogo Ludwig Beckmann, universally recognized at that time, He does not even mention the Leonhardiner in his work in two volumes "Die Rassen des sinks" (dog breeds) of 1895. From the point of view of health, such a genetically heterogeneous offspring is an advantage.

The Leonberger should be a success in all respects. Today it belongs to the primitive rocks of the world of purebred dogs., that no dog lover wants to miss. In 1895 The ยซInternational Dog Club was founded Leonbergerยซ, which quickly achieved official recognition of the Leonberger like race. In 1948 He was followed by the ยซGerman Dog Club LeonbergerยปBased in Leonberg, who still represents the Leonberger at VDH and around the world. The Leonberger has a unique charisma, imposing and at the same time friendly, quiet and just sovereign. Its appearance is reminiscent of a lion and its character is also majestic, peaceful and totally suitable for families.
