Spitz

German Spitz are the oldest dog breed in Central Europe. According to historical records, they are the ancestors of the Rütemeyer and the Turf Dog, both of which lived during the Stone Age. At the beginning of the century, small and medium-sized Pomeranians were twice as tall as they are today, and their weight at that time was approximately 15 kg. However, over time, selection for miniaturization began, and their weight dropped to 5 kg.

It turns out that the name "Laika" is a generic term for all dog breeds that lived and were bred for many years in the forested areas of northern Asia and Europe. Based on their intended use, Laikas are classified as sled dogs. These hardy animals have long been the only means of transport to reach remote areas of the frigid north.

Experienced dog breeders are well acquainted with the characteristics of the West Siberian Laika. It is commonly considered a hunting dog, resembling a wolf in appearance but, unlike the wolf, distinguished by its even temperament. Representatives of this breed were first introduced to our country in the 1920s, and even then, many dog ​​lovers fell in love with these animals.

The Asian Shepherd is one of the oldest dog breeds, remaining unchanged even after thousands of years. Research suggests the breed is approximately 7,000 years old, although precise information is lacking. Many scientists believe this shepherd is only 3,000-4,000 years old, while others believe otherwise.
