DEUTSCHE SPITZE– FCI-Standard N° 97

Spitz breeds are captivating on account of their beautiful coats, made to stand off by plentiful undercoat. Particularly impressive are the strong, mane-like collar round the neck (ruff) and the bushy tail carried boldly over the back.

Its natural distrust of strangers and lack of hunting instinct make it the ideal companion and family dog and watch dog for home and farm. It is neither timid nor aggressive. Indifference to weather, robustness and longevity are its most outstanding attributes.

TURSKISH SHEPHERD DOG ­ AKBASH

Wary of strangers whilst tolerant and affectionate towards the people and livestock the breed is to protect. When the owners are present or the dog is
out of his territory, the Akbaş Dog is calm. Unprovoked aggression to humans is not accepted. The dog may look aloof as protecting a flock requires independent thinking. The breeding principles must be based not onlyon the physical characteristics, but alsoon the dog’s commitment to the flock and eagerness to protect it.

Vrijeme čitanja / Reading Time: 13 min

Polar dogs have smiling and ”  expressive” faces, sometimes they “forget” to bark, then howl like wolves. They are always in the mood to pull sleighs, to ride, and above all to worship people. They love to love, wholeheartedly strive to please “their man” (owner), they do it with great kindness and willingness.

Travels are my endless inspiration for spreading new perspectives, new stories and deepest words and learning new landscapes, people, customs, different cultures, evoking events, so in the most beautiful way, so I will take you through the lens of my camera to travel on the golden Russia, more precisely St. Petersburg.
