Advertising slogans about dog breeds
Selling and selling puppies left and right, “breeders” are sometimes naive, deceitful and biased!
Here are a few recent advertising gems: * “Fila Brasileiro is the only breed of dog that reads the owner’s thoughts from a distance”, * “Pit bull terrier is a wonderful nanny for a child, the best security”, * “Super-working shepherd dogs, a guarantee of sanity. Dad works in the police", * "The Boerboel is a living legend of Africa, does not require special training", * "The fur (meaning shedding) in the house from a chow-chow is no more than from a kitten", * "The mastiff is controlled by the gaze of the owner", * “Super Rottweilers, 1.5 months, champions with a guarantee, a guarantee of mental health and health”, * “Shar-Pei, plush watchman, friend and bodyguard”, * “Labrador is a genius of the dog world, the breed understands four hundred words”, * “Not smells, doesn’t shed, doesn’t require care”, * “Eats everything, doesn’t suffer from allergies, doesn’t cause allergies!”, * “Takes away the owner’s illnesses”...
Honestly, under this nonsense I would also like to add: “Bobik is the mind, honor and conscience of our era!”, “Sharik is still more alive than all the living!” While sophisticated and respectable professionals, breeders, trainers and veterinarians are dying of laughter reading such advertising opuses, newcomers to dog breeding, gullible citizens and citizens are inspired by what they read and... become victims of advertising.
Intrusive advertising. Advertisements are half-truths. The calculation is correct - most owners do not treat the purchased dog as a “living commodity”. They accept the dog as a member of the family with all that it entails... Family members are usually accepted as they were born.
Virgo
Virgo is perhaps the most fair and humane sign of the zodiac. But its representatives are so practical and pragmatic that this often prevents them from getting a dog. Having a pet is a huge responsibility, and Virgo is not used to letting things take their course. She hesitates for a long time before taking the little dog into her care. But if Virgo has taken a dog into the house, she will pay no less attention to it than to family members.
People of this sign enjoy training animals, as they have innate teacher qualities. Virgo is able to raise a dog of any breed well, because she is not afraid of difficulties. However, obedient and peaceful breeds such as dachshund, basset, doberman, and miniature schnauzer are best suited for her. For Virgo, the dog becomes a true faithful and devoted friend.
This is a very amazing and mysterious sign, which combines several opposing qualities at once. Libras are charming, artistic, but at the same time fair and scrupulous. They are constantly trying to find balance in their souls, but if they don’t find it, they can become depressed. Typical Libras tend to hesitate for a long time when making a decision, this also applies to choosing a pet.
Often Libras like to have several animals at once in order to observe their behavior and then decide which one suits them best. Some representatives of this sign can have dogs with different personalities, but astrologers recommend that Libra choose calm, balanced dogs, for example, Italian greyhounds, pugs, and bichon frizes. These dogs will bring positivity and harmony into the life of the owner.
Life stories
Here are typical examples from the practice of just my communication with acquaintances and acquaintances of acquaintances. A farmer I know was sold money when he complained about a rat infestation... Not cheap, for 400 USD. Jagdts are great rat exterminators. What's true is true. There are no rats, no chickens, no ducks, no cats left on the farm. Not only on the farm itself, but also among the closest neighbors...
Jagdt sat on a chain for six months, stamped out a couple of visiting children and was given to the visiting hunter with relief in his soul. According to rumors, he subsequently became an extremely excellent hunting dog. This is a story with a good ending.
Here’s another (I’m not naming names, for obvious reasons). Again, acquaintances of acquaintances. Mother with daughter. There is no dad. It's scary for two people at the dacha. Following a neighbor's advice, they acquire a "working" Rottweiler from a "cool" couple.
Three years later, the Rottweiler rips out the girl's calf. Literally vomits. The child was treated and rehabilitated for a year and a half. The dog, accordingly, was destroyed by the called policemen. Further? Please... My already quite close friends are purchasing a hairless dog. The one that “doesn’t smell, doesn’t shed, doesn’t cause allergies.” Naked, because the child (a common case!) has allergies.
The result was a severe allergic crisis with hospitalization. The reason is simple - allergies are very, very often caused not by wool as such, but by flaky epithelium. Dandruff, to put it simply. The top layer of skin is constantly renewed, no matter what breed the dog is! Another friend of mine really wanted to have a white Russian greyhound. So, you know, refined, aristocratic... The greyhound was sold willingly, without even asking the middle-aged lady who exactly would walk her and where... The lady is sixty-five, the lady lives on the Moika... The result is a fractured hip of the owner, who was dragged by the dog on a leash dragged half a block along the embankment. For the cat. And so on and so forth…
Fish
A typical representative of this sign has ambitions, but most often you only hear slogans from him. In real actions, he is indecisive, because he is afraid of losing and hurting his soul. This is a conservative for whom everything non-standard and shocking is alien. Pisces do not like noisy environments, but prefer silence and stars in the window. Therefore, representatives of this sign should choose calm pets that can give home comfort and coziness.
A good choice for Pisces would be a Dalmatian, a German Shepherd, a Golden Retriever, a Spaniel, or a Welsh Corgi.
They will not needlessly bother their owner with whims and loud barking. They are obedient, devoted and flexible - this is exactly what Pisces needs. People with this symbol also love to take long walks in nature. Dogs of these breeds will be happy to keep them company.
The breed of the dog doesn't matter
Gentlemen! All well-mannered and intelligent dogs that are on good terms with their owners “read minds from a distance.”
All dogs “feel the owner’s mood with their hearts”!
Like all normal two-year-old children, they easily learn the game “with their feet - stomp, stomp, with their hands - clap-clap!” Yes, my Risen brings home raw meat from the market and glass bottles in his mouth, and herds cattle, and gives me slippers and newspapers, and does many other fun things.
But this is not a distinctive feature of the entire breed as a whole . These are “gadgets” learned by my personal dog in my own separate house! And according to my personal whim.
And they cannot be an advertisement for all Giant Schnauzers without exception. I knew and personally saw an ideally loyal, well-mannered pita. In the house of my Moscow friends.
But this same meek and affectionate (in the presence of the owner) pete literally maimed someone else’s child half to death in the yard when their own son secretly took the dog out into the street to settle scores with the offenders.
The owners had to first spend a monstrous amount of money on the treatment of the injured boy (they are decent people and honestly paid for a series of plastic surgeries), and then move to another area in order to avoid public reproaches. Half-truths are the same lies! Unwashed dogs smell. Everything that is not combed out sheds. There are no exceptions!
The glove will help the owner deal with the fur! You can buy it using this link
Physiology as a science cannot be abolished, just as it is impossible to cement the glands that secrete the contents of secretions onto the surface of a dog’s skin. It's just that some dogs smell very strongly, others not very strongly, and others very slightly.
Aries
People of this sign are very active, assertive and purposeful. They cannot sit still and often take bold but thoughtless actions. Aries dogs are suitable for dogs that are similar to them in temperament - energetic, fast, curious. The ideal four-legged friend for this sign would be a German shepherd, husky, boxer, and also a Doberman. These animals are loud, showy and resilient, and love to spend most of their time outdoors.
But from time to time Aries needs to stop, relax and unwind. To do this, you can get a poodle, Chihuahua or Pekingese. These cute dogs are not intended for active pastime, but for relaxing in a calm home environment. They will help the owner relieve stress and cheer up.
The distinctive features of people of this sign are endurance, hard work, leisurelyness and kindness. They are suitable for dogs that do not require special attention and care. Ordinary mongrels will cope well with this role. They can walk on their own and even entertain themselves, while the owner will simply admire them from the sidelines.
Taurus can do without a dog at all, but sometimes representatives of this sign get animals so that they “stir up” them and bring dynamics to their measured life. In this case, you can choose a dog that is both independent and energetic. And, nevertheless, the animal must be obedient and easy to train. This is, for example, a chow chow, an English bulldog, a pug or a sharpei.
There is an exit!
All dogs, without exception, require training, education and daily care! Both toy toys and giants of the dog world. Dear breeders! While loading the heads of newcomers to dog breeding with erroneous ideas about a happy and problem-free existence with a dog of your favorite breed, also take pity on the dogs that do not belong to the yard and wander from hand to hand in shelters, foster care and parking lots.
Have pity on the people who bought “a hat that is not Senka’s style” and are doomed to an uncomfortable life with an animal whose upbringing and maintenance may simply be beyond their capabilities. Or not affordable. The breeder must bear moral responsibility for thoughtless breeding and sales.
The breeder must remember the basic biblical truth: “There is a lot of evil in the world. But woe to the one from whose hands it came!” . To complete the introduction - an anecdote from my personal life. One of my very good friends, a middle-aged, very polite and attentive gentleman, peace-loving and unhurried, once with a sparkle of delight in his eyes shared with me a joyful discovery: - Helen! I read this in the newspaper about the breed of “such and such” dogs, listen: “The breed (“such and such”) swears its love to its owner every minute, it does not take its eyes off him and is ready to give its life for him at any moment!” In response, after thinking about it, I asked how old was his marriage with his wife? - Thirty! - he answered. “Imagine that all these years she didn’t take her eyes off you for a minute, followed you on your heels and swore her love to you every minute!” Judging by the expression on his face, he imagined...
Which breed suits your zodiac sign
So, you've decided to get a dog. Now begins an amazing quest called “choosing a breed.” It is indeed very difficult to decide, because according to the latest estimates, there are already about 500 dog breeds in the world! Of course, it would be ideal to choose a puppy that will suit your character, temperament, and lifestyle. Many people turn to a horoscope at such moments. And this is what astrologers advise.
Aries are energetic, impulsive, ambitious people. They are born leaders. Their life is bright and active, it is movement itself, because it’s not for nothing that Aries is a fire sign! Such strong and powerful people need a companion with a similar temperament - smart, hardy, but at the same time obedient and ready to obey the owner. Thus, a boxer, a German shepherd, and a Doberman will become the best friends for Aries. Dogs of these breeds love active games in the fresh air and are well trained. But sometimes representatives of the fire element live too fast! Such people certainly need a companion for relaxation, and not for a dynamic holiday. In these cases, you should pay attention to small dogs such as the West Highland White Terrier, Chihuahua, and Toy Poodle. These breeds miraculously sense the slightest change in the owner’s mood - when necessary, they will happily run after the ball, and when necessary, they will lie down next to you. In addition, they are easy to take with you - you should always have a sedative on hand!
Taurus are calm people, often secretive and unsociable, but at the same time kind and generous. Taurus not only tolerate loneliness calmly, but also find it preferable to noisy society. They enjoy it! Such people are comfortable without company at all. But if Taurus nevertheless decides to get a pet, then let it be a lap dog that does not require special attention, independent and self-sufficient, but still capable of stirring up a slow and leisurely owner. For example, Scotch Terrier, Yorkshire Terrier, Shar Pei, English Bulldog or Pug.
Gemini is a fickle and changeable sign. Representatives of this sign are eternal children - passionate, restless, always searching, thirsting for change, generating an endless variety of ideas and plans. Geminis need an equally ambiguous, eccentric and lively companion. But at the same time, Geminis may get tired of an overly active and noisy pet, so balanced breeds are suitable for them - Labrador, Collie, Dalmatian, Cocker Spaniel, Yorkshire Terrier. And the most ideal option is a non-barking African Basenji.
Cancers are the best family men. They are caring and loving parents, faithful and gentle spouses. It’s good if the Cancer dog is the same as the owner - a calm homebody, disciplined and balanced, who will get along with children and organically integrate into the family. In addition, Cancers are suitable for dogs that require careful care. Neat and homely Cancers will be happy to comb long hair or tinker with exotic breeds. They should take a closer look at dogs such as the Maltese, poodle, bobtail, Caucasian shepherd, and Skye terrier.
Leos are considered by many to be overly self-centered, arrogant and vainly proud. They are bright and catchy, charismatic and self-confident. Being “like everyone else” is not for them! At the same time, Leos have an active life position, and they are also noble, generous, passionate and emotional. Such people need a dog to match them - which you cannot pass by without looking back, beautiful, stately, aristocratic - Doberman, Cane Corso, Mastiff, Greyhound, Great Dane.
Virgos, like no one else, are endowed with a rich set of positive qualities. Conscientious, responsible, non-conflict, thrifty, caring, kind, honest - that's all about them! But often these qualities become too bright and outgrow pedantry, scrupulousness, tediousness and obsession with trifles. Virgos will want a pet that will help her get distracted and reveal her natural teaching talent. It is best to take a closer look at the dachshund, miniature schnauzer, miniature schnauzer, and Doberman. But in principle, Virgos are not afraid of difficulties, they only spur them on, and therefore this sign can get along with any breed.

Choosing a dog
What rules should people follow when purchasing a dog for the first time in their lives?
How to navigate the variety of breeds offered?
How to avoid making a fatal mistake? So that the characteristics and advantages inherent in each individual breed are pleasing.
And the shortcomings inherent to the same extent were not very annoying. So that the army of dog breeders and dog lovers is replenished and not diminished. And the army of dog haters, on the contrary, was decreasing, and not replenished with bitten, frightened, “allergic”, nervous and “ruined” fellow citizens! Firstly, there are no absolutely universal dogs (or rather, there are - in the movies). Secondly, even within the same breed, different individuals can differ diametrically in the quality of their psyche and strength of temperament.
Thirdly, and most importantly, a future dog owner should think about choosing a particular breed long before he gets his first puppy.
Long before it turns out that he is not ready (morally and financially) to solve the problems that arise as the dog grows and matures. Whatever breed it is.
How to choose a healthy puppy
All the preparatory stages are over and the exciting moment of directly choosing a dog has arrived. How not to make a mistake and choose a healthy puppy? First, watch how the puppy behaves. Healthy babies are active and inquisitive, they strive to explore everything that comes into their field of vision.
- Reach out your hand to the puppy and watch his reaction. A mentally balanced baby will sniff the hand and may try to taste it. Aggressive puppies will begin to growl, and timid ones will hide;
- Secondly, take a closer look at how the dog moves. If the puppy moves uncertainly, falls to the side, jumps like a bunny, throws back its head or shakes, then this is most likely a sick animal;
- Third, examine the puppy's eyes, ears, teeth, fur, and anus. A healthy baby's mucous membranes are an even pink color, his eyes are clear and vibrant, his ears are clean, his fur is uniform without bald patches, and there should be no traces of feces on his bottom.
If you have any doubts about the puppy's health, it is better to postpone the purchase and contact another seller.
Remember that a dog is not only a person’s friend, but also a reflection of the essence of its owner. Therefore, choose a ward who matches yourself, your character and lifestyle. Then it will be much easier for you to find a common language and establish contact with your four-legged friend.
Why does a person need a dog?
How do people buy a dog? Very few do it thoughtfully. Very many - by accident. Someone saw on TV how Commissioner Rex catches bandits and brings the owner a sandwich. And the person already wants such a rex. Or “Beethoven”, or “One Hundred and One Dalmatians”.
No one thought about the fact that a whole army of trainers casts among hundreds and hundreds of dogs of the same breed and selects a dozen of the most capable and beautiful for one role.
That the collective image of a Beautiful Dog in movies is often far from reality - too. Or they get a dog following the example of a neighbor. Look, they say, the neighbor has a dog for a thousand dollars. I’ll buy it for one and a half thousand, and let the neighbor peel off with envy.
Or people saw, for example, a decorative dog of crazy beauty, dressed up, well-groomed, in the arms of a noble lady. And now the wife and daughter are sawing - “we want exactly this!!!” We bought it, but forgot to ask how much effort, money and time should be invested in the dog for it to look like that picture from the exhibition. It turns out that washing and combing is a hassle, there is no time to train and walk, a hairdresser is expensive, buying cosmetics is expensive... And an unwashed monster walks around in tangles, smells like a dog and is annoying with its appearance and behavior.
Common situation? So, advice one: think hard about why you need a dog. For the soul, for company, for purely practical purposes? For work? Property protection? Sports? Hunting? Many people buy a dog as a companion for their child...
And many dogs, not knowing why they were purchased, refuse to obey the child and obey the leader-owner, the eldest in the family. Conflicts with the child and childish grievances are inevitable.
To cope with the fur, I bought a dog combing glove. I just stroke my pet, and all the hair collects on the glove! You can buy it via the link.
Cancer
According to the characteristics of this sign, Cancer has a vulnerable, sentimental soul. He is emotional and compassionate, although he often seems calculating and indifferent to others. Cancers do not want to immediately open up to people, even those closest to them. With the help of a pet, Cancer wants to find comfort and spiritual harmony, so calm and obedient dogs that will not cause him unnecessary trouble are suitable for him.
The size of the animal does not really matter here. The main thing is a kind and balanced temperament. The Royal Poodle, Caucasian Shepherd, and Maltese fall under this category. They subtly capture a person’s mood and calm the nerves. The animal should be an “anti-stress” for Cancer and the same homebody as its owner.
People born under the constellation Leo have regal calm, bright charisma and unshakable self-confidence. Leo does not ask for himself if he remains unnoticed in public. He is used to always being the center of attention. Therefore, representatives of this sign choose the same spectacular, beautiful animals that attract the admiring glances of others.
Leo's four-legged friend must be a noble aristocrat, that is, a purebred representative of his breed. Posture, fur, muzzle - everything should indicate his “high” origin. An ideal option for Leo would be a mastiff, Great Dane, greyhound and Giant Schnauzer. Leo's dogs are always well-groomed, well-fed and look like royalty, but how could it be otherwise?
Dog companion
Any dog, of any breed, can be a companion. A companion is a dog that spends most of its life with its owner, in close communication with him. And, accordingly, it is very important that the person and the dog are psychologically compatible and do not irritate each other.
It is very important that their temperaments and, if possible, characters coincide. A fast, impetuous and energetic person, athletic, cheerful, will be annoyed by a phlegmatic, sleepy, unhurried dog.
A dog that walks at a slow pace thinks for a very long time. A balanced, unhurried owner, not prone to violent expressions of emotions, will very soon be driven into a frenzy by a choleric dog, emotional and chattering. There are breeds of dogs that, simply due to their physical build and breed temperament, need very heavy physical activity and constant emotional communication and contact.
And if you don’t devote as much time to them as they require, the consequences can be catastrophic for the owners: the dog begins to entertain itself - dismantling the parquet, hanging on the curtains, barking non-stop at the window and at any rustle outside the door. It happens the other way around. There are breeds of dogs with very restrained behavior, self-sufficient, unhurried, and do not need very large walks or exercise. And if you endlessly pester such a dog with suggestions from the “let’s play and take a walk” series, then it will eventually start baring its teeth at the owner from under the sofa at the sight of the leash.
Why was the breed bred?
There is a huge variety of dog breeds on Earth, all over the world . And each individual breed, as a rule, is specialized in some area of application. In the field of activity for which it was bred... There were only three clubs at one time: the service dog breeding club, the hunting dog breeding club, and the toy dog breeding club. Now, alas, everything is much more complicated... Dog breeds have become less specialized.
Permissions for breeding of only a few breeds are regulated almost as before, but are more difficult to control. A huge number of private kennels, a huge variety of dog breeds. When purchasing a puppy, you don’t have to have your head in the clouds. This choice must be approached pragmatically and thoughtfully. 1. Decide what the dog is for (see above). 2. Select and memorize several dog breeds that have a good reputation in the area of application that you have chosen.
Rottweiler
This dog is quite large and has an interesting character. She is distrustful of strangers, stubborn, but very smart. It is easy to train, but the owner will have to try hard to win the dog’s favor.
Rottweilers need early socialization, especially for dogs living in the city. They need a firm hand; when starting such a breed, it is worth soberly assessing your strengths. Will a busy, working lady be able to devote time to daily dog training and long walks? Rottweilers are quite active, they love active walks and will not refuse to play catch or run around the field.
Representatives of the breed are prone to hip dysplasia and obesity. They should not be overfed, so as not to provoke excess weight gain. Rottweilers are loyal to children. They can come into conflict with other dogs and react nervously to street cats.

How to make the right choice?
Consultation with specialists is very, very desirable. Serious, club specialists: livestock specialists, professionals. It is better if the club you are contacting for advice is not one of the fly-by-night clubs that arose yesterday. Ask how many years the club has existed, how many years ago its “leading specialist” received judicial certification and registered the nursery.
If it was twenty years ago, then most likely in front of you is a real professional.
If “it’s been four years already,” then there is a risk of getting advice from an inexperienced beginner, an “amateur in love.” Discuss your family's list of adoptive candidates with an expert. 3. Create a budget for keeping your dog. Full budget: feeding, treatment, veterinary service (vaccinations, flea and helminth treatments), care products (combs, shampoos, etc.), payment for hairdresser services (if the dog is getting a haircut).
Feeding the pet 4. Toys, beds, etc. 5. Payment for the services of an instructor-trainer and handler (if you purchased a show dog). 6. Payment for the exhibitions themselves. 7. Add to this the time that needs to be devoted to the dog, and the amount of damage that will certainly be caused by the growing puppy. Add, count, think.
Are you ready for these material and moral costs? Maybe the dog should be smaller so that it eats less? (Feeding, properly feeding a dog is expensive!).
Smooth-haired, so as not to spend money on cutting, washing and styling? Kind and small, if you personally cannot afford the cost of training a large working or service breed dog?
Without exhibition claims, so as not to waste time and money on this? Or even get a cat? Or maybe a rat, if you really want to have a live animal in the house, but it turns out you don’t have time to walk with it?.. You’ve made a budget - go with the whole family to a big exhibition. Why big? Because there are more dogs there, more breeds represented, and more serious specialists there.
You can comb it out using a mitten. You can buy it using the link.
Why the whole family? So that all family members come to a compromise and the dog does not become a bone of contention. Looking at your chosen breed up close is very helpful. It is quite possible that you will see and smell something up close that you did not see in the advertising photo. If you like the breed as a whole, look for a dog that you especially like! Start choosing a kennel and the dog's parents.
Scorpion
Scorpio is one of the most mysterious and mystical symbols of the horoscope. Such people are ambitious, self-confident and strong-willed. But those around him can never fully understand what is on the mind of this mysterious predator. His unique personality surprises with new shades and facets every day. Scorpio is dangerous, but if he loves someone, he will be faithful to him to the end. People of this sign tend to become very attached to animals.
According to astrologers, there should also be something mystical in a Scorpio dog, so large, strong animals with a black color are best suited for him - Groenendael, Great Dane, Newfoundland, Shepherd. If Scorpio feels emotional discomfort, you can get a friendly Labrador. But small decorative dogs should be avoided.
