Seasonal rain produced flooding, a natural barrier that limited the dogs contributing to the gene pool. Health and temperament[edit] Sources[edit] External links[edit] Shetland Sheepdog.

The Shetland Sheepdog, often known as the Sheltie, is a breed of herding dog. They are small to medium dogs, and come in a variety of colors, such as sable, tri-color, and blue merle. They are vocal, excitable, energetic dogs who are always willing to please and work hard. They are partly derived from dogs used in the Shetland Isles for herding and protecting sheep. The breed was formally recognized by the Kennel Club in 1909.[2] The Shetland Sheepdog's early history is not well known. History[edit] Photograph of a Shetland sheepdog from 1915. When the breed was originally introduced breeders called them Shetland Collies, which upset Rough Collie breeders, so the name was changed to Shetland Sheepdog.[4][7] During the early 20th century (up until the 1940s), additional crosses were made to Rough Collies to help retain the desired Rough Collie type – in fact, the first AKC Sheltie champion's dam was a purebred rough Collie.

Description[edit] A sable Shetland Sheepdog Coat and colors[edit] Serbian Tricolour Hound. The Serbian Tricolour Hound (srpski trobojni gonič or trobojac) is a breed of dog of the hound type. Formerly called the Yugoslavian Tricolour Hound, the name was changed for clarity after the breakup of SFR Yugoslavia in 1991. The breed was first exhibited at shows in 1950. At one time it was considered a variation of the Serbian Hound, but was recognised by the Fédération Cynologique Internationale as a separate breed in 1961.[1] The Serbian Tricolour Hound is a medium-large scenthound that was bred as a running hound (free running to seek game on its own, not on a leash.)

It is used on feral pigs or wild boar and other large game as well as hare and fox. The Serbian Tricolour Hound is a devoted breed that loves its master without question and will loyally stand by him for all his life. History[edit] The Serbian Tricolour Hound is one of a group of scenthounds that has existed in the Balkans for a long time. Standard[edit] Country of origin: Serbia Weight: 44–55 lb/20–25 kg Noise: Average.

Shiba Inu. The Shiba Inu (柴犬 ?) Is the smallest of the six original and distinct spitz breeds of dog from Japan.[1] A small, agile dog that copes very well with mountainous terrain, the Shiba Inu was originally bred for hunting.[1][2] It is similar but smaller than the Akita. It is one of the few ancient dog breeds still in existence in the world today.[3] Etymology Inu is the Japanese word for dog, but the origin of the prefix "Shiba" is less clear. The word shiba means "brushwood" in Japanese, and refers to a type of tree or shrub whose leaves turn red in the fall.[4] This leads some to believe that the Shiba was named with this in mind, either because the dogs were used to hunt in wild shrubs, or because the most common color of the Shiba Inu is a red color similar to that of the shrubs.

Temperament Shiba's tend to exhibit an independent nature and sometimes show dog aggression. Miniature Australian Shepherd. The Miniature Australian Shepherd was developed by breeding smaller Australian Shepherds for the desired size. The breed is rapidly increasing in popularity among those interested in a compact dog with a strong dog work ethic. They are especially popular in dog agility, and do well in other dog sports including herding, obedience, disc dog, flyball and many other activities. Description[edit] Appearance[edit] Blue merle mini Aussie Temperament[edit] Mini Aussies are easily trained, but their intelligence and drive require obedience training and plenty of interesting activity. History[edit] In 1968 Doris Cordova, a horse woman in Norco, California, began a breeding program specifically to produce very small breed founded with Australian Shepherds.

Possible health conditions[edit] Eye defects of varying severity are the most common disorder in Australian Shepherds of all size varieties. Persistent pupillary membrane (PPM): PPM is rare, but possible. MDR1 gene[edit] References[edit] Korean Jindo Dog.

Brought to the US with Korean immigrants, it is celebrated in its native land for its fierce loyalty and brave nature.

The Jindo breed became recognized by the United Kennel Club on January 1, 1998 [1] and by the Fédération Cynologique Internationale in 2005.[2][3] Description[edit] Appearance[edit] Jindos are double-coated spitz-type dogs. Much like the Dingo developed in Australia, the Jindo Gae is the natural or feral dog of a particular island of Korea. Distinguishing the Jindo breed from mixes and other breeds is often done by close examination of cranial and facial features and by analyzing the proportion of the head to the body. Body[edit] Korean Jindo owners have traditionally divided Jindos into two body types: Color[edit] Jindos come in five colors: Some Jindo Island residents value black, black/red, and red/white Jindos as good hunters.

Feet[edit] Japanese Spitz. The major health concern is patellar luxation, and a minor recurring concern is that the breed can be prone to runny eyes. They can act as reliable watchdogs, but are a type of companion dog and prefer to be an active part of the family. Although they might appear fluffy, they are a low maintenance breed as the coat has a non stick texture often compared to teflon.

The Jack Russell Terrier is a small terrier that has its origins in fox hunting; it is principally white-bodied and smooth, rough or broken-coated. It is commonly confused with the Parson Russell terrier (see the American Kennel Club) and the Russell terrier, which is a shorter-legged, stockier variety. (Within the Fédération Cynologique Internationale, the "Russell terrier" is also known as "Jack Russell terrier".) The term "Jack Russell" is commonly misapplied to other small white terriers. The Jack Russell is a broad type, with a size range of 10–15 inches (25–38 cm).

The Parson Russell is limited only to a middle range with a standard size of 12–14 inches (30–36 cm), while the Russell terrier is smaller at 8–12 inches (20–30 cm).

The Greenland Dog (Danish: Grønlandshunden, also known as Greenland Husky) is a large breed of husky-type dog kept as a sled dog and for hunting polar bear and seal. This is an ancient breed, thought to be directly descended from dogs brought to Greenland by the first Inuit settlers.

Description[edit] Appearance[edit] The Greenland Dog is a powerful, heavy-built dog. It has a broad, wedge-shaped head, slightly tilted eyes and small, triangular ears covered with thick fur that prevents frostbite. It has strong, muscular, short-haired legs. The tail is usually rolled along/across its back, but it may also hang down in a wolflike manner. A characteristic of most Greenland Dogs is the "úlo", a triangular shaped area on the shoulders. Males are significantly larger than females at between 58 and 68 cm (23–27 in) at the withers; females are between 51 and 61 cm (20–24 in). Temperament[edit] Puppies eating muskox scraps. Stamina[edit] History[edit] Puppy of Greenland dog See also[edit] Bichon Frise. Etymology and history[edit] Bichon Frise Though not considered a retriever or water dog, the Bichon, due to its ancestry as a sailor's dog, has an affinity for and enjoys water and retrieving.

On the boats however, the dog's job was that of a companion dog. The "Tenerife", or "Bichon", had success in France during the Renaissance under Francis I (1515–1547), but its popularity skyrocketed in the court of Henry III (1574–1589). The breed also enjoyed considerable success in Spain as a favorite of the Infantas, and painters of the Spanish school often included them in their works. For example, the famous artist, Francisco de Goya, included a Bichon in several of his works. Interest in the breed was renewed during the rule of Napoleon III, but then waned until the late 19th century when it became the "common dog", running the streets, accompanying the organ grinders of Barbary, leading the blind and doing tricks in circuses and fairs.

The head is rather light relative to the trunk, which is attached by a short neck and muscular. Of the two distinct types of Basque Shepherd Dog, the more outgoing Gorbeikoa[1] is the more pure and ancient of the two. History[edit] Activities[edit] Basque Sheepdogs in America[edit] Some Basque herders brought their sheepdogs to the Western United States when they journeyed to the United States in the 1950s under sheep herding contracts with the Western Range Association in an agreement with the Spanish government.[2] See also[edit] References[edit] External links[edit]

American Eskimo Dog. The American Eskimo Dog is a breed of companion dog originating in Germany. The American Eskimo is a member of the Spitz family. Despite its name and appearance, the American Eskimo dog is not from Alaska; the dog's heritage is traced back to Northern Europe. The breed's progenitors were German Spitz, but due to anti-German prejudice during the First World War, it was renamed "American Eskimo Dog".

Although modern American Eskimos have been exported as German Spitz Gross (or Mittel, depending on the dog's height), the breed standards are actually significantly different. In addition to serving as a watchdog and companion, the American Eskimo dog also achieved a high degree of popularity in the 1930s and 1940s United States as a circus performer. Miniature American Eskimos, with their high intelligence and inquisitive nature, will love to "investigate".
