CLASSES OF DOGS:
-Country of origian: Italy and Switzerland
               -Nickname: Saint
               -The St. Bernard is a breed of very large working dog
St. Bernard:   from the Italian and Swiss Alpe, originally bred for
               rescue. The breed has become famous through tales of
               alpine rescues, as well as for its large size.
               -The St. Bernard is a large dog. The average weight of
               the breed Is between 140 and 264 lb (64–120 kg) or
               more and the approximate height at the withers is 27½
               inches to 35½ inches (70 to 90 cm).The coat can be
               either smooth or rough, with the smooth coat close and
               flat. The rough coat is dense but flat, and more profuse
               around the neck and legs. The coat is typically a red
               Color with white, or sometimes a mahogany brindle with
               white.

    St. Bernard dogs are not used for alpine rescues as much as before, but do participate in a variety of dog
sports including carting and weight pulling.The Saint Bernard are still trained at the Barry foundation for
Alpine rescues. The dogs at the Barry foundation are smaller than the average St Bernard.
-The ancestors of the St. Bernard share a history with the Sennenhunds, also called Swiss Mountain Dogs or
Swiss Cattle Dogs, the large farm dogs of the farmers and dairymen of the Swiss Alps, which were livestock
guardians, herding dogs, and draft dogs as well as hunting dogs, search and rescue dogs, and
watchdogs. These dogs are thought to be descendants of molosser type dogs brought into the Alps by the
ancient Romans, and the St. Bernard is recognized internationally today as one of the Molossoid breeds.
-The very fast growth rate and the weight of a St. Bernard can lead to very serious deterioration of the bones
if the dog does not get proper food and exercise. Many dogs are genetically affected by hip dysplasia or
elbow dysplasia. Osteosarcoma (bone cancer) has been shown to be hereditary in the breed.
-Country    of origin: England
           -Life span: 8-12 years
           -Bulldog: is the name for a breed of dog commonly

BULLDOG:   referred to as the English Bulldog. Other Bulldog
           breeds include the American Bulldog, Olde English
           Bulldogge and the French Bulldog. The Bulldog
           is a muscular heavy dog with a wrinkled face and a
           Distinctive pushed-in nose.
           -In the US, a typical mature male weighs
              approximately
           55-60 pounds. Mature females weigh in at
              approximately
           45 pounds. In the United Kingdom, the breed
           standards are 55 pounds for a male and 50 pounds for
           a female.
-The Bulldog is a breed with characteristically wide head and shoulders along with a pronounced
mandibular prognathism. There are generally thick folds of skin on a Bulldog's brow; round, black, wide-set
eyes; a short muzzle with characteristic folds called "rope" above the nose; hanging skin under the
neck; drooping lips and pointed teeth and occasionally, an underbite. The coat is short, flat and sleek, with
colors of red, fawn, white, brindle (mixed colors, often in waves or irregular stripes), and piebald.
-Country of origian: Gerrmany
                       -Traits: Weight: male 30-40 kilograms and female 22
German Shepherd dog:   32 kilograms. Height: male 60-65 centrimetres and
                       female 53-60 centrimetres.
                       -The German Shepherd Dog (German: Deutscher
                       Schäferhund), also known as an Alsatian or just the
                       German Shepherd, is a breed of large-sized dog that
                       originated in Germany. The German Shepherd is a
                       relatively new breed of dog, with its origin dating to
                       1899. As part of the Herding Group, the German
                       Shepherd is a working dog developed originally for
                       herding and guarding sheep.
                       -In   Europe during the 1800s, attempts were being made
                       to standardize breeds.The dogs were bred to preserve
                       traits that assisted in their job of herding sheep and
                       protecting flocks from predators.
In Germany this was practiced within local communities, where shepherds selected and bred dogs that they
believed had traits necessary for herding sheep, such as intelligence, speed, strength, and keen senses of
smell. The results were dogs that were able to perform admirably in their task, but that differed significantly,
both in appearance and ability, from one locality to another
-The breed was named Deutscher Schäferhund by Von Stephanitz, literally translating to "German Shepherd
Dog". The breed was so named due to its original purpose of assisting shepherds in herding and protecting
sheep. At the time, all other herding dogs in Germany were referred to by this name; they thus became known
as Altdeutsche Schäferhunde or Old German Shepherd Dogs. Shepherds were first exported to Britain in
1908, and the UK Kennel Club began to recognise the breed in 1919.

-Many common ailments of the German Shepherds are a result of the inbreeding required early in the breed's
life. One such common issue is hip and elbow dysplasia which may lead to the dog experiencing pain in later
life, and may cause arthritis. A study by the University of Zurich in police working dogs found that 45% were
affected by degenerative spinal stenosis, although the sample studied was small.The Orthopedic Foundation
for Animals found that 19.1% of German Shepherd are affected by hip dysplasia. Due to the large and open
nature of their ears, Shepherds are prone to ear infections.German Shepherds, like all large bodied dogs, are
prone to bloat.
-Country of origian: Siberia, Russia
                  -Traits: Weight: male 50-75 pounds(23-34 Kg)
                  and female 35-60 pounds(16-27 Kg). Height: male
Siberian Husky:   21-23.5 inches(53- 60 cm) and female 20-22
                  inches(51-56 cm).
                  -The Siberian Husky is a medium-size, dense
                  Coat working dog breedthat originated in north
                  eastern Siberia.The breed belongs to the Spitz
                  genetic family.
                  -The Siberian Husky is a medium-size, dense
                  coat working dog breed that originated in north
                  Siberia. The breed belongs to the Spitz
                  genetic family. It is recognisable by its thickly
                  furred double coat, sickle tail, erect triangular ears,
                  and distinctive markings.
                  -Siberian Huskies share many outward
                  similarities with the Alaskan Malamute as well as
                  with many other spitz breeds such as the Samoyed,
                  which has a comparable history to the Huskies.
                  They come in a variety of colors and patterns,
                  usually with white paws and legs, facial markings,
                  and tail tip.
-Country of origian: Spain
                               -Nickname: SWD
SPANISH WATER DOG:SWD is a medium size, athletic, robust dog that is
               -The
                               slightly longer than tall. Their tails are usually docked
                               in the US, but undocked tails are not a fault in
                               conformation showing if the dog was bred in a non
                               docking country.

                               -It has a distinctive curly coat which is woolly in
                               texture and may form cords when long. The coat should
                               not be clipped or groomed for aesthetic purposes.
                               Instead, it should look entirely natural, as though it is
                               not groomed at all. It should never be trimmed, but
                               sheared down at least once a year. SWD puppies are
                               always born with curly hair.
-Country of origian: England
                               -Nicknames: Yorkie
YORKSHIRE TERRIER:
               -The Yorkshire Terrier is a small dog breed of terrier
                               type, developed in the 19th century in the county of
                               Yorkshire, England to catch rats in clothing mills. The
                               defining features of the breed are its size, 3 pounds
                               (1.4 kg) to 7 pounds (3.2 kg), and its silky blue and tan
                               coat. The breed is nicknamed Yorkie and is placed in the
                               Toy Terrier section of the Terrier Group by the Fédération
                               Cynologique Internationale and in the Toy Group or
                               Companion Group by other kennel clubs, although all
                               agree that the breed is a terrier. A popular companion dog,
                               the Yorkshire Terrier has also been part of the
                                  development
                               of other breeds, such as the Australian Silky Terrier.
                               -For adult Yorkshire Terriers, importance is placed
                               on coat colour, quality, and texture. The hair
                               must be glossy, fine, straight, and silky.
                               Traditionally the coat is grown-out long and is
                               parted down the middle of the back, but "must
                               never impede movement."
-Country of origian: Croatia
             -Nicknames: Dal, Dally
DALMATIAN:   -Traits: Weight: male 34-71 pounds (15-32 Kg), female
             36-53 pounds (16-24 Kg). Height: male 21-26 inches
             (53-66 cm), female 18-25 inches (46-63 cm).
             -The FCI recognized as its country of origin the region
             of Dalmatia in the citing Bewick's
             1792 work.The Republic of Croatia was recognized by
             the F.C.I. as the country of origin of the Dalmatian; the
             breed had been developed and cultivated chiefly in
             England. When the dog with the distinctive markings
             was first shown in England in 1862 it was said to have
             been used as a guard dog and companion to the nomads
             of Dalmatia. But nothing is definitely known about its
             origin. The breed's unique coat became popular and
             widely distributed over the continent of Europe
             beginning in 1920. Its unusual markings were often
             mentioned by the old writers on cynology.
Country of origin: England
                              -Traits: Weight: male 150 to 250 pounds (68 to 110 Kg)

ENGLISH MASTIFF:Inches (75 cm) and female 27.5 inches (69 cm)
                              Female 120 to 200 ppounds (54-91 Kg). Height: male 30


                              -The English Mastiff, referred to by most
                              Kennel Clubs simply as the Mastiff, is a breed of
                              large dog perhaps descended from the ancient
                              Alaunt through the Pugnaces Britanniae.
                              Distinguishable by enormous size, massive head,
                              and a limited range of colors, but always
                              displaying a black mask, the Mastiff is noted for
                              its gentle temperament.
                              -With a massive body, broad skull and head of generally
                              square appearance, it is the largest dog breed in terms of
                              mass. Though the Irish Wolfhound and Great Dane are
                              taller, they are not nearly as robust.
-Country of origin:    Canada, United Kingdom
                             -Traits: Weight: male 27-40 Kg (60-88 1b) female
LABRADOR RETRIEVER: (60-77 1b). Height: male 56-63 cm (22-25
                27-35 Kg
                             in) female 54-60 Kg (21-24 in).
                             -The Labrador Retriever (also Labrador, or Lab
                             for short) is one of several kinds of retriever, a type of
                             gun dog. A breed characteristic is webbed paws for
                             swimming, useful for the breed's original purpose of
                             retrieving fishing nets. The Labrador is the most
                             popular breed of dog by registered ownership in
                             Canada, the United Kingdom, and the United States
                             (since 1991).
                             -Labradors are relatively large, with males typically
                             weighing 29 to 41 kg (64 to 90 lb) and females 25 to
                             32 kg (55 to 71 lb). Labradors weighing close to or
                             over 100 lb (45 kg) are considered obese or having a
                             major fault under American Kennel Club standards,
                             although some Labradors weigh significantly more.
-The Ratonero Bodeguero Andaluz (the Andalusian
              wine cellar keeper's rat hunting dog) is a Spanish breed
BODEGUEROS:   of dog of the terrier type. Its name reflects its main
              occupation: hunting rats and mice hidden between
              barrels in the wineries of Andalusia in Spain. It was
              recognised as an indigenous Spanish breed in 2000 by
              the Spanish Ministry of Agriculture and by the Spanish
              Kennel Club, the Real Sociedad Canina de España.
              -The is of medium size, measuring between 13.75–16.9
              inches (34.9–43 cm) at the withers, with an appearance
              very similar to that of the Jack Russell Terrier, to the
              extent that it has on occasion been called the Spanish
              Jack Russell. The breed is an agile dog with a lean and
              athletic build; the head is triangular with a semi-flat
              skull. The eyes are very dark and the Ratonero has a long
              muzzle, and high set ears that bend over at the tip. The
              tail is traditionally docked to one quarter of its length,
              however they may also be born with a natural bobtail.
-Country of origin: Inner Asia
             -Traits: Weight: male 55 to 70 pounds (25 to 32 Kg?
CHOW CHOW:   Female 45 to 60 pounds (20 to 27 Kg). Height: male 19-
             22 in (48-56 cm) and female 18-20 in (46-51 cm)
             -Chow chow: is a breed of dog that was
             developed in China,where it is referred to as Songshi
             Quan which literally means "puffy-lion dog". Whether
             its origin is in Tibet, Mongolia, or Siberian regions of
             Asia is still in doubt.
             -The chow chow is a sturdily built dog, square in
             profile,with a broad skull and small, triangular, erect
             ears, which are rounded at the tips. The breed has a very
             Dense double coat that can be either smooth or rough.
             The fur is particularly thick around the neck, giving the
             distinctive ruff or mane appearance. The coat may be
             one of five colors including red, black, blue,
             cinnamon/fawn, and cream.
-Recent DNA analysis confirms that the Chow Chow is one of the oldest breeds of dog.Research indicates
it is one of the first primitive breeds to evolve from the wolf, and is thought by many to have originated in the
arid steppes of northern China/Mongolia, although other theorists conjecture that its origin is in Siberian
regions of Asia. A Chinese bas-relief from 150 BC shows a hunting dog and a dog very friendly toward
children similar in appearance to the Chow. Later, Chow Chows were bred as general-purpose working dogs
for hunting, herding and protection of the home. The black tongued chow was also bred for human
consumption. Some scholars claim the Chow was the original ancestor of the Samoyed, Norwegian
Elkhound, Pomeranian and Keeshond.
-Country of origin: Germany
         -Traits: Weight: male 66–70 lb (30–32 kg) female
         55–60 lb (25–27 kg).Height: male 22–25 ins. (57
BOXER:   63 cms.) female 21–23.5 ins. (53–60 cms.)
         -Coat: short, shiny, smooth, close-lying
         -Colour: fawn or brindle, black mask, with or without
         white markings.
         -Developed in Germany, the Boxer is a breed of stocky,
         large-sized, short-haired dog. The coat is smooth and
         fawn or brindled, with or without white markings.
         Boxers are brachycephalic (they have broad, short
         skulls), and have a square muzzle, mandibular
         prognathism (an underbite), very strong jaws and a
         powerful bite ideal for hanging on to large prey. The
         Boxer was bred from the Old English Bulldog and the
         now extinct Bullenbeisser and is part of the Molosser
         group.
-The head is the most distinctive feature of the Boxer. The breed standard dictates that it must be in perfect
proportion to the body and above all it must never be too light. The greatest value is to be placed on the
muzzle being of correct form and in absolute proportion to the skull. The length of the muzzle to the whole of
the head should be a ratio of 1:3.
-The Boxer is a short-haired breed, with a shiny, smooth coat that lies tight to the body. The recognized colors
are fawn and brindle, often with a white underbelly and white on the feet. These white markings, called flash,
often extend onto the neck or face, and dogs that have these markings are known as "flashy". "Fawn" denotes
a range of color, the tones of which may be described variously as light tan or yellow, reddish tan, mahogany
or stag/deer red, and dark honey-blonde. In the UK and Europe, fawn Boxers are typically rich in color and
are often called "red".
-A pit bull is any of several breeds of dog. All of the
            breeds share a similar history, with origins rooted from
            the bulldog and a variety of terriers. The dogs called bull
PIT BULL:   terriers before the development of the modern Bull
            Terrier in the early 20th century may also be called pit
            bulls. The American Pit Bull Terrier is the product of
            interbreeding between terriers and a breed of bulldogs.
            Because some pit bulls have been trained for criminal
            purposes such as dog-fighting or for the protection of
            drug trafficking operations, the subsequent aggressive
            behavior has led to many incidents between these
            animals and people.
            -The American Pit Bull Terrier is the product of
            interbreeding between terriers and bulldogs to produce a
            dog that combined the gameness of the terrier with the
            strength and athleticism of the bulldog. These dogs were
            initially bred in England and arrived in the United States
            with the founders. In the United States, these dogs were
            used as catch dogs for semi-wild cattle and hogs, to hunt,
            to drive livestock, and as family companions.
-A limited number of studies have been performed on the number of human deaths due to bite trauma caused
by dogs, and have generally surveyed news media stories for reports of dog bite-related fatalities. This
methodology is subject to several potential sources of error: some fatal attacks may not have been reported; a
study might not find all of the relevant news reports; and the potential for misidentification of dog breeds,
although courts in the United States and Canada have ruled that expert identification, when using published
breed standards, is sufficient for the enforcement of breed-specific legislation. It is possible to distinguish
dogs by breed using DNA testing, but test results for any one dog can vary widely depending upon the
laboratory that performs the test and the number of purebred dog breeds in the laboratory's DNA database.
-Country of origin: Germany
              Traits: Weight: male 50–58 kg (110–130 lb) female
              40–48 kg (88–110 lb) Height: male 61–69 cm (24–27 in)
ROTTWEILER:   female 56–63 cm (22–25 in)
              Coat: Double coated, Short, hard and thick.
              Colour: Black and tan or black and mahogany.

              -The Rottweiler is a medium to large size breed of
              domestic dog that originated in Rottweil, Germany. The
              dogs were known as "Rottweil butchers' dogs" (German:
              Rottweiler Metzgerhund) because they were used to herd
              livestock and pull carts laden with butchered meat and
              other products to market. Some records indicate that
              earlier Rottweilers may have also been used for hunting,
              although the modern Rottweiler has a relatively low
              hunting instinct.
-Although a versatile breed used in recent times for many purposes, the Rottweiler is primarily known as one
of the oldest herding breeds. A multi-faceted herding and stock protection dog, it is capable of working all
kinds of livestock under a variety of conditions.
The breed's history likely dates to the Roman Empire. In those times, the Roman legion traveled with
working dogs to herd the cattle needed to feed the army. One route the army traveled was through
Württemberg and on to the small market town of Rottweil. The principal ancestors of the first Rottweilers
during this time are believed to be the Roman droving dog, local dogs the army met on its travels, and dogs
with molosser appearance coming from England and the Netherlands.
-According to the FCI Standard, the Rottweiler is good-natured, placid in basic disposition, very devoted,
obedient, biddable and eager to work. Their appearance is natural and rustic, their behaviour self-assured,
steady and fearless. They react to their surroundings with great alertness. The American Kennel Club says it
is basically a calm, confident and courageous dog with a self-assured aloofness that does not lend itself to
immediate and indiscriminate friendships. A Rottweiler is self-confident and responds quietly and with a
wait-and-see attitude to influences in its environment. It has an inherent desire to protect home and family,
and is an intelligent dog of extreme hardness and adaptability with a strong willingness to work, making them
especially suited as a companion, guardian and general all-purpose dog.
-Country of origin: China
            -Traits: Weight: 40 to 65 lb (18 to 29 kg) male 55 to
            65 lb (25 to 29 kg) female 40 to 55 lb (18 to 25 kg)
SHAR PEI:   Height: 18 to 22 in (46 to 56 cm)
            -Colour: red, red fawn, five-point red, black, black silver
            sables, black bronze sables, sables, cream, blue, cream
            dilute, apricot dilute, chocolate, chocolate dilute, lilac,
            Isabelle.
            -Small, triangular ears, a muzzle shaped like that of a
            hippopotamus, and a high-set tail also give the Shar Pei a
            unique look. For show standard, "the tail is thick and
            round at the base, tapering to a fine point" (AKC standard
            February 28, 1998). As puppies, Shar peis are a lot more
            wrinkly than adults and, although some adults can be
            wrinklier than their puppy self, an adult pei should have
            wrinkles mostly on the face, a few on their shoulder and at
            the base of the tail.
-The Shar Pei breed comes from the Guangdong province of China. The original Shar-Pei from China looked
very different from the breed now popular in the West. People in southern China, Hong Kong, and Macau
differentiate the Western type and the original type by calling them respectively 'meat-mouth' and 'bone
mouth' Shar-Pei.
The ancestry of the Shar-Pei is uncertain. It maybe a descendant of the Chow Chow; however, the only clear
link between these is the blue-black tongue. However, pictures on pottery suggest the breed was present even
in the Han Dynasty (206 BC). A statue on display at the Boston Museum of Fine Arts dating from the second
century A.D. depicts a dog that strongly resembles a modern Shar Pei. For many years, the Shar-Pei was kept
as a general-purpose farm dog in the Chinese countryside, used for hunting, protecting and herding stock and
guarding the home and family. During that time, the Shar-Pei was bred for intelligence, strength and scowling
face. Recent genetic research has suggested the Shar-Pei is one of a few ancient dog breeds, believed to have
split from common ancestors earlier than other breeds. By mapping subtle differences in each breed’s genes,
searching for patterns of relationships and designing a tree to fit them, they could finally gain insight into this
marvel of evolutionary engineering. In 2004, the foundational analysis of purebred dog genetics was
published in Science.

-The information found in this work is sought in the wikipedia of
  internet and the pictures also. The difficulty with which I found is that
  it sometimes page looking for where things took much and sometimes
  not they gave me the information that you were looking for. This work
  is oriented to the dogs because there are many kinds of them and the
  most people only know the races basic and nothing more, why have
  echo this work.

Classes of dogs:

  • 2. -Country of origian: Italy and Switzerland -Nickname: Saint -The St. Bernard is a breed of very large working dog St. Bernard: from the Italian and Swiss Alpe, originally bred for rescue. The breed has become famous through tales of alpine rescues, as well as for its large size. -The St. Bernard is a large dog. The average weight of the breed Is between 140 and 264 lb (64–120 kg) or more and the approximate height at the withers is 27½ inches to 35½ inches (70 to 90 cm).The coat can be either smooth or rough, with the smooth coat close and flat. The rough coat is dense but flat, and more profuse around the neck and legs. The coat is typically a red Color with white, or sometimes a mahogany brindle with white.
  • 3. - St. Bernard dogs are not used for alpine rescues as much as before, but do participate in a variety of dog sports including carting and weight pulling.The Saint Bernard are still trained at the Barry foundation for Alpine rescues. The dogs at the Barry foundation are smaller than the average St Bernard. -The ancestors of the St. Bernard share a history with the Sennenhunds, also called Swiss Mountain Dogs or Swiss Cattle Dogs, the large farm dogs of the farmers and dairymen of the Swiss Alps, which were livestock guardians, herding dogs, and draft dogs as well as hunting dogs, search and rescue dogs, and watchdogs. These dogs are thought to be descendants of molosser type dogs brought into the Alps by the ancient Romans, and the St. Bernard is recognized internationally today as one of the Molossoid breeds. -The very fast growth rate and the weight of a St. Bernard can lead to very serious deterioration of the bones if the dog does not get proper food and exercise. Many dogs are genetically affected by hip dysplasia or elbow dysplasia. Osteosarcoma (bone cancer) has been shown to be hereditary in the breed.
  • 4. -Country of origin: England -Life span: 8-12 years -Bulldog: is the name for a breed of dog commonly BULLDOG: referred to as the English Bulldog. Other Bulldog breeds include the American Bulldog, Olde English Bulldogge and the French Bulldog. The Bulldog is a muscular heavy dog with a wrinkled face and a Distinctive pushed-in nose. -In the US, a typical mature male weighs approximately 55-60 pounds. Mature females weigh in at approximately 45 pounds. In the United Kingdom, the breed standards are 55 pounds for a male and 50 pounds for a female.
  • 5. -The Bulldog is a breed with characteristically wide head and shoulders along with a pronounced mandibular prognathism. There are generally thick folds of skin on a Bulldog's brow; round, black, wide-set eyes; a short muzzle with characteristic folds called "rope" above the nose; hanging skin under the neck; drooping lips and pointed teeth and occasionally, an underbite. The coat is short, flat and sleek, with colors of red, fawn, white, brindle (mixed colors, often in waves or irregular stripes), and piebald.
  • 6. -Country of origian: Gerrmany -Traits: Weight: male 30-40 kilograms and female 22 German Shepherd dog: 32 kilograms. Height: male 60-65 centrimetres and female 53-60 centrimetres. -The German Shepherd Dog (German: Deutscher Schäferhund), also known as an Alsatian or just the German Shepherd, is a breed of large-sized dog that originated in Germany. The German Shepherd is a relatively new breed of dog, with its origin dating to 1899. As part of the Herding Group, the German Shepherd is a working dog developed originally for herding and guarding sheep. -In Europe during the 1800s, attempts were being made to standardize breeds.The dogs were bred to preserve traits that assisted in their job of herding sheep and protecting flocks from predators.
  • 7. In Germany this was practiced within local communities, where shepherds selected and bred dogs that they believed had traits necessary for herding sheep, such as intelligence, speed, strength, and keen senses of smell. The results were dogs that were able to perform admirably in their task, but that differed significantly, both in appearance and ability, from one locality to another -The breed was named Deutscher Schäferhund by Von Stephanitz, literally translating to "German Shepherd Dog". The breed was so named due to its original purpose of assisting shepherds in herding and protecting sheep. At the time, all other herding dogs in Germany were referred to by this name; they thus became known as Altdeutsche Schäferhunde or Old German Shepherd Dogs. Shepherds were first exported to Britain in 1908, and the UK Kennel Club began to recognise the breed in 1919. -Many common ailments of the German Shepherds are a result of the inbreeding required early in the breed's life. One such common issue is hip and elbow dysplasia which may lead to the dog experiencing pain in later life, and may cause arthritis. A study by the University of Zurich in police working dogs found that 45% were affected by degenerative spinal stenosis, although the sample studied was small.The Orthopedic Foundation for Animals found that 19.1% of German Shepherd are affected by hip dysplasia. Due to the large and open nature of their ears, Shepherds are prone to ear infections.German Shepherds, like all large bodied dogs, are prone to bloat.
  • 8. -Country of origian: Siberia, Russia -Traits: Weight: male 50-75 pounds(23-34 Kg) and female 35-60 pounds(16-27 Kg). Height: male Siberian Husky: 21-23.5 inches(53- 60 cm) and female 20-22 inches(51-56 cm). -The Siberian Husky is a medium-size, dense Coat working dog breedthat originated in north eastern Siberia.The breed belongs to the Spitz genetic family. -The Siberian Husky is a medium-size, dense coat working dog breed that originated in north Siberia. The breed belongs to the Spitz genetic family. It is recognisable by its thickly furred double coat, sickle tail, erect triangular ears, and distinctive markings. -Siberian Huskies share many outward similarities with the Alaskan Malamute as well as with many other spitz breeds such as the Samoyed, which has a comparable history to the Huskies. They come in a variety of colors and patterns, usually with white paws and legs, facial markings, and tail tip.
  • 9. -Country of origian: Spain -Nickname: SWD SPANISH WATER DOG:SWD is a medium size, athletic, robust dog that is -The slightly longer than tall. Their tails are usually docked in the US, but undocked tails are not a fault in conformation showing if the dog was bred in a non docking country. -It has a distinctive curly coat which is woolly in texture and may form cords when long. The coat should not be clipped or groomed for aesthetic purposes. Instead, it should look entirely natural, as though it is not groomed at all. It should never be trimmed, but sheared down at least once a year. SWD puppies are always born with curly hair.
  • 10. -Country of origian: England -Nicknames: Yorkie YORKSHIRE TERRIER: -The Yorkshire Terrier is a small dog breed of terrier type, developed in the 19th century in the county of Yorkshire, England to catch rats in clothing mills. The defining features of the breed are its size, 3 pounds (1.4 kg) to 7 pounds (3.2 kg), and its silky blue and tan coat. The breed is nicknamed Yorkie and is placed in the Toy Terrier section of the Terrier Group by the Fédération Cynologique Internationale and in the Toy Group or Companion Group by other kennel clubs, although all agree that the breed is a terrier. A popular companion dog, the Yorkshire Terrier has also been part of the development of other breeds, such as the Australian Silky Terrier. -For adult Yorkshire Terriers, importance is placed on coat colour, quality, and texture. The hair must be glossy, fine, straight, and silky. Traditionally the coat is grown-out long and is parted down the middle of the back, but "must never impede movement."
  • 11. -Country of origian: Croatia -Nicknames: Dal, Dally DALMATIAN: -Traits: Weight: male 34-71 pounds (15-32 Kg), female 36-53 pounds (16-24 Kg). Height: male 21-26 inches (53-66 cm), female 18-25 inches (46-63 cm). -The FCI recognized as its country of origin the region of Dalmatia in the citing Bewick's 1792 work.The Republic of Croatia was recognized by the F.C.I. as the country of origin of the Dalmatian; the breed had been developed and cultivated chiefly in England. When the dog with the distinctive markings was first shown in England in 1862 it was said to have been used as a guard dog and companion to the nomads of Dalmatia. But nothing is definitely known about its origin. The breed's unique coat became popular and widely distributed over the continent of Europe beginning in 1920. Its unusual markings were often mentioned by the old writers on cynology.

The eyes are very dark and the Ratonero has a long muzzle, and high set ears that bend over at the tip. The tail is traditionally docked to one quarter of its length, however they may also be born with a natural bobtail.
  • 15. -Country of origin: Inner Asia -Traits: Weight: male 55 to 70 pounds (25 to 32 Kg? CHOW CHOW: Female 45 to 60 pounds (20 to 27 Kg). Height: male 19- 22 in (48-56 cm) and female 18-20 in (46-51 cm) -Chow chow: is a breed of dog that was developed in China,where it is referred to as Songshi Quan which literally means "puffy-lion dog". Whether its origin is in Tibet, Mongolia, or Siberian regions of Asia is still in doubt. -The chow chow is a sturdily built dog, square in profile,with a broad skull and small, triangular, erect ears, which are rounded at the tips. The breed has a very Dense double coat that can be either smooth or rough. The fur is particularly thick around the neck, giving the distinctive ruff or mane appearance. The coat may be one of five colors including red, black, blue, cinnamon/fawn, and cream.
  • 16. -Recent DNA analysis confirms that the Chow Chow is one of the oldest breeds of dog.Research indicates it is one of the first primitive breeds to evolve from the wolf, and is thought by many to have originated in the arid steppes of northern China/Mongolia, although other theorists conjecture that its origin is in Siberian regions of Asia. A Chinese bas-relief from 150 BC shows a hunting dog and a dog very friendly toward children similar in appearance to the Chow. Later, Chow Chows were bred as general-purpose working dogs for hunting, herding and protection of the home. The black tongued chow was also bred for human consumption. Some scholars claim the Chow was the original ancestor of the Samoyed, Norwegian Elkhound, Pomeranian and Keeshond.
  • 17. -Country of origin: Germany -Traits: Weight: male 66–70 lb (30–32 kg) female 55–60 lb (25–27 kg).Height: male 22–25 ins. (57 BOXER: 63 cms.) female 21–23.5 ins. (53–60 cms.) -Coat: short, shiny, smooth, close-lying -Colour: fawn or brindle, black mask, with or without white markings. -Developed in Germany, the Boxer is a breed of stocky, large-sized, short-haired dog. The coat is smooth and fawn or brindled, with or without white markings. Boxers are brachycephalic (they have broad, short skulls), and have a square muzzle, mandibular prognathism (an underbite), very strong jaws and a powerful bite ideal for hanging on to large prey. The Boxer was bred from the Old English Bulldog and the now extinct Bullenbeisser and is part of the Molosser group.
  • 18. -The head is the most distinctive feature of the Boxer. The breed standard dictates that it must be in perfect proportion to the body and above all it must never be too light. The greatest value is to be placed on the muzzle being of correct form and in absolute proportion to the skull. The length of the muzzle to the whole of the head should be a ratio of 1:3. -The Boxer is a short-haired breed, with a shiny, smooth coat that lies tight to the body. The recognized colors are fawn and brindle, often with a white underbelly and white on the feet. These white markings, called flash, often extend onto the neck or face, and dogs that have these markings are known as "flashy". "Fawn" denotes a range of color, the tones of which may be described variously as light tan or yellow, reddish tan, mahogany or stag/deer red, and dark honey-blonde. In the UK and Europe, fawn Boxers are typically rich in color and are often called "red".
  • 19. -A pit bull is any of several breeds of dog. All of the breeds share a similar history, with origins rooted from the bulldog and a variety of terriers. The dogs called bull PIT BULL: terriers before the development of the modern Bull Terrier in the early 20th century may also be called pit bulls. The American Pit Bull Terrier is the product of interbreeding between terriers and a breed of bulldogs. Because some pit bulls have been trained for criminal purposes such as dog-fighting or for the protection of drug trafficking operations, the subsequent aggressive behavior has led to many incidents between these animals and people. -The American Pit Bull Terrier is the product of interbreeding between terriers and bulldogs to produce a dog that combined the gameness of the terrier with the strength and athleticism of the bulldog. These dogs were initially bred in England and arrived in the United States with the founders. In the United States, these dogs were used as catch dogs for semi-wild cattle and hogs, to hunt, to drive livestock, and as family companions.
  • 20. -A limited number of studies have been performed on the number of human deaths due to bite trauma caused by dogs, and have generally surveyed news media stories for reports of dog bite-related fatalities. This methodology is subject to several potential sources of error: some fatal attacks may not have been reported; a study might not find all of the relevant news reports; and the potential for misidentification of dog breeds, although courts in the United States and Canada have ruled that expert identification, when using published breed standards, is sufficient for the enforcement of breed-specific legislation. It is possible to distinguish dogs by breed using DNA testing, but test results for any one dog can vary widely depending upon the laboratory that performs the test and the number of purebred dog breeds in the laboratory's DNA database.
  • 21. -Country of origin: Germany Traits: Weight: male 50–58 kg (110–130 lb) female 40–48 kg (88–110 lb) Height: male 61–69 cm (24–27 in) ROTTWEILER: female 56–63 cm (22–25 in) Coat: Double coated, Short, hard and thick. Colour: Black and tan or black and mahogany. -The Rottweiler is a medium to large size breed of domestic dog that originated in Rottweil, Germany. The dogs were known as "Rottweil butchers' dogs" (German: Rottweiler Metzgerhund) because they were used to herd livestock and pull carts laden with butchered meat and other products to market. Some records indicate that earlier Rottweilers may have also been used for hunting, although the modern Rottweiler has a relatively low hunting instinct.
  • 22. -Although a versatile breed used in recent times for many purposes, the Rottweiler is primarily known as one of the oldest herding breeds. A multi-faceted herding and stock protection dog, it is capable of working all kinds of livestock under a variety of conditions. The breed's history likely dates to the Roman Empire. In those times, the Roman legion traveled with working dogs to herd the cattle needed to feed the army. One route the army traveled was through Württemberg and on to the small market town of Rottweil. The principal ancestors of the first Rottweilers during this time are believed to be the Roman droving dog, local dogs the army met on its travels, and dogs with molosser appearance coming from England and the Netherlands. -According to the FCI Standard, the Rottweiler is good-natured, placid in basic disposition, very devoted, obedient, biddable and eager to work. Their appearance is natural and rustic, their behaviour self-assured, steady and fearless. They react to their surroundings with great alertness. The American Kennel Club says it is basically a calm, confident and courageous dog with a self-assured aloofness that does not lend itself to immediate and indiscriminate friendships. A Rottweiler is self-confident and responds quietly and with a wait-and-see attitude to influences in its environment. It has an inherent desire to protect home and family, and is an intelligent dog of extreme hardness and adaptability with a strong willingness to work, making them especially suited as a companion, guardian and general all-purpose dog.
  • 23. -Country of origin: China -Traits: Weight: 40 to 65 lb (18 to 29 kg) male 55 to 65 lb (25 to 29 kg) female 40 to 55 lb (18 to 25 kg) SHAR PEI: Height: 18 to 22 in (46 to 56 cm) -Colour: red, red fawn, five-point red, black, black silver sables, black bronze sables, sables, cream, blue, cream dilute, apricot dilute, chocolate, chocolate dilute, lilac, Isabelle. -Small, triangular ears, a muzzle shaped like that of a hippopotamus, and a high-set tail also give the Shar Pei a unique look. For show standard, "the tail is thick and round at the base, tapering to a fine point" (AKC standard February 28, 1998). As puppies, Shar peis are a lot more wrinkly than adults and, although some adults can be wrinklier than their puppy self, an adult pei should have wrinkles mostly on the face, a few on their shoulder and at the base of the tail.
  • 24. -The Shar Pei breed comes from the Guangdong province of China. The original Shar-Pei from China looked very different from the breed now popular in the West. People in southern China, Hong Kong, and Macau differentiate the Western type and the original type by calling them respectively 'meat-mouth' and 'bone mouth' Shar-Pei. The ancestry of the Shar-Pei is uncertain. It maybe a descendant of the Chow Chow; however, the only clear link between these is the blue-black tongue. However, pictures on pottery suggest the breed was present even in the Han Dynasty (206 BC). A statue on display at the Boston Museum of Fine Arts dating from the second century A.D. depicts a dog that strongly resembles a modern Shar Pei. For many years, the Shar-Pei was kept as a general-purpose farm dog in the Chinese countryside, used for hunting, protecting and herding stock and guarding the home and family. During that time, the Shar-Pei was bred for intelligence, strength and scowling face. Recent genetic research has suggested the Shar-Pei is one of a few ancient dog breeds, believed to have split from common ancestors earlier than other breeds. By mapping subtle differences in each breed’s genes, searching for patterns of relationships and designing a tree to fit them, they could finally gain insight into this marvel of evolutionary engineering. In 2004, the foundational analysis of purebred dog genetics was published in Science.

  • 26. -The information found in this work is sought in the wikipedia of internet and the pictures also. The difficulty with which I found is that it sometimes page looking for where things took much and sometimes not they gave me the information that you were looking for. This work is oriented to the dogs because there are many kinds of them and the most people only know the races basic and nothing more, why have echo this work.
