Dogs live near people with ancient times. All of them are different. The least dog has growth in withers - 13 cm, and the biggest – to 1 meter. Selectors and dog handlers work many years on creation of new breeds of dog.

For registration of dogs of a new type the dog handlers have to send to Film logical Association of the international standard the application about recognition of this breed at the international level. Only this way there is a new breed.

From where do new species of dogs appear?The film logical Association recognized at the official level slightly more than 400 breeds, annually this quantity increases by several new names. All breeds are subdivided into groups. There is also secret division of all species of dogs into working and decorative. The representative of one breed can be considered as both a working dog, and decorative. Dachshunds, terriers, shepherd's dogs, partially pass into a rank of decorative favourites though were initially removed for the special purposes. To recognize new breed of dog, selectors have to grow up several generations of this look and set certain pedigree qualities or features. Refer curly wool, standing ears and color of a dog to such pedigree signs. Not always the Film logical Association makes the decision to call this look – breed. Each country has the species of dogs, unrecognized at the international level, but in this country it is separate breed.

Groups of dogs

All pedigree dogs have to have a family tree and to be estimated by experts. Only after that they are allowed before cultivation of the breed. Office breeds without fail have to hand over a training course. All this is estimated on dog shows where there is a division into groups. Shepherd's breeds, dachshunds, terriers, office and sentry, fleet, room decorative, hunting and others. Exhibitions can be the mixed type – where collect all possible breeds of dog, experts are invited and the assessment of animals is carried out. The monopedigree exhibition differs in the fact that only one breed of dog where experts in this breed are invited is estimated.
