Chihuahua: the little Mexican warrior
Under the scorching sun of Mexico, Chihuahua has established itself as one of the most iconic breeds in the world. Its name derives from the homonymous region, where it was discovered in the nineteenth century, but its history has its roots in much more remote periods. In fact, it is believed that he descends from Techichi, a small dog raised by the Aztecs, who considered him a spiritual being capable of accompanying souls in the afterlife. Often depicted in pre -Columbian artifacts, this specimen was an integral part of the Mesoamerican culture, so much so that it is buried next to the deceased to guide them in the underworld.
Despite its reduced size, Chihuahua is a concentrate of vitality, intelligence and character. Audace and protective, he creates a very strong bond with his master, while proving to be affectionate and vigilant. His stubborn personality requires a firm but respectful education, since it tends to develop a strong sense of territoriality. Sensitive to the cold due to its slender build, it requires protection in the winter months, as well as a particular attention to its delicate bone structure.
Toy Russo: Soviet elegance
Descendant of the small company dogs of the Russian nobility, the Russian Toy has crossed centuries of history before establishing itself as one of the most fascinating and refined breeds. Born in the imperial courts of the eighteenth century, he was the favorite companion of the aristocracy, so much so that many specimens were in the portraits of noble ladies of the time. However, with the Russian Revolution, the breed risked extinguishing itself, surviving only thanks to a meticulous selection work in the 1950s.
Slot and elegant, with its characteristic expressive muse and large and well -erected ears, the Russian Toy stands out for the graceful bearing and affectionate nature. There are two varieties, short -haired and long hair, both equipped with an inexhaustible energy. Very close to the master, he suffers from solitude and needs constant interaction. If well socialized from a puppy, it develops a balanced and joyful character, revealing an affectionate and lively companion. His intelligence makes him easily trainable, but a positive and coherent educational method is essential.
Maltese: an ancient white pearl
The Maltese is one of the oldest and noble canine breeds, with over two thousand years of history behind them. Cited by writers of antiquity such as Aristotle, its origin remains wrapped in mystery. Despite the name, it is not certain that it comes from the island of Malta; Some historians argue that it was already present in the Mediterranean at the time of the Phoenicians, later becoming the favorite dog of the Roman and Greek elites.
Distinguished from his long and silky coat, which seems to almost float at every step, this nice little dog embodies refinement and elegance. But behind its royal appearance there is a cheerful, lively and incredibly affectionate character. Always looking for human contact, it develops a deep attachment with one’s master and adapts perfectly to life in the apartment. Despite his apparent fragility, he is a robust and long -lived dog, capable of surprising for his resistance. Its cloak requires meticulous care to keep its beauty intact, with daily brushing to avoid the formation of knots and maintain the soft and brilliant hair.
