Paperback. New. The Dalmatian is a large breed of dog that originates from Croatia. The breed is most noted for its highly unique black, or liver, spotted coat which has earned the breed the nicknames of 'Plum Pudding Dog' and the 'Leopard Carriage Dog.' Despite the breed originating from Croatia, the Dalmatian was mainly developed and cultivated in the United Kingdom. In 1890 the United Kingdom was the first country to actually have an official Dalmatian club and breed standard. The Dalmatian were originally used for a plethora of different tasks: as dogs of war, as guard dogs and as companion dogs. The modern day Dalmatian still has a high instinct to guard its owners and will be friendly and loyal to people it knows but often aloof with strangers and unknown dogs. In the early 1900s, the Dalmatian started to be used in sporting hunts as was used as a bird dog, trail hound, a retriever and in packs to hunt wild boar or stags. It was discovered that Dalmatians and horses are very compatible, and the Dalmatian soon was used to run in front of horse drawn carriages to clear a path for the horses. As the breed's large amount of working roles suggests, the Dalmatian is a highly adaptable and intelligent breed that is capable of being trained to do nearly any job. The Dalmatian is born with a solid white coat and they slowly develop their characteristic spots at around 3 to 4 weeks old - after about a month or two they have developed most of their spots. Most Dalmatian are born with a smooth short coat that sheds continuously throughout the year. However it is not uncommon for a Dalmatian to be born with a long haired coat - interestingly the long haired Dalmatians shed considerably less than their short haired counterparts. As a whole the Dalmatian is a highly intelligent and affectionate breed that thrives both in working environments and household environments. It is important to well socialize your Dalmatian during its puppyhood to make it less suspicious and aloof with strangers and unknown dogs.

New. The Giant Schnauzer is a working breed of dog that originates from Germany and was developed during the 17th century. The breed is also commonly known as the 'Munich Schnauzer, ' the 'Munchener' and the 'Russian Bear Schnauzer.' The breed has a large and varied ancestral history with the most notable breeds being: the Great Dane, the Bouvier des Flandres and the German Pinscher. The first Giant Schnauzer emerged from the German state of Bavaria and was originally considered to be a rough-coated variant of the German Pinscher breed. The breed's hair is believed to have been developed to help the Giant Schnauzer withstand the extreme coldness of the German winter and also to minimize damage from vermin bites. The breed was originally bred and developed to be a multipurpose farm dog and was mainly tasked with guardian property and driving animals to market. By the turn of the 20th century the Giant Schnauzer was a common choice for guarding and watching over factories, breweries, stockyards and butcheries throughout the state of Bavaria. The breed was widely unknown outside Bavaria, until it was used as a military dog during the course of the first and second World Wars. In modern times the Giant Schnauzer is mainly used as a police dog and as a general household companion. The breed makes an excellent police dog and household pet due to the fact that the Giant Schnauzer breed is known to be incredibly loyal, obedient and suspicious of strangers. The temperament of dogs is normally affected by the following factors: individual personality, heredity, training and socialization. It is therefore important to make sure that you meet the puppy's mother before purchasing a Giant Schnauzer. It is also important to make sure to thoroughly socialize your Giant Schnauzer with strangers, children and other animals during its puppyhood. It is important to note that as a working breed, the Giant Schnauzer has a high amount of energy which needs to be expended. If the Giant Schnauzer has a buildup of energy it is likely to develop destructive behaviors due to boredom or hyperactivity. The Giant Schnauzer's coat comes in two color variants: black and a pattern known as pepper and salt. The Giant Schnauzer is a breed of dog that has a double coat. The Giant Schnauzer's outer coat is short, wiry, dense and hard with hairs that stand up from the skin while its undercoat is generally very soft.
