A puppy is not a present - share the campaign

       Fully support the campaign. A dog is a great responsibility for many years. Not everyone is ready for it. After the New Year festivities a lot of these live presents died in garbage containers. Not only dogs. A few year ago a little deer was found in a container in Moscow. The one who found the baby deer gave him to the Zoo vet. Unfortunately it was too lare^ the little deer got pneumonia and died. The vets of Moscow Zoo made a publication about this outrageous incident when a little deer was treated like a toy for a New Year night and then thrown away.
       Every year a lot a puppies, catties and other live gifts are thrown to containers. A rare animal get rescued and find a family.

A five stars heated kennel - it is a reality

    Our family always had dogs – mostly German and Eastern European shepherd dogs. They lived in kennels in our garden. We put straw inside the  kennels. In Winter when it was too cold  we added  somewarm things as old blankets. 
     Yes, we now– from our school textbooks on bio - that dogs have very strong and tough ancestries  - wolves and jackals. There are a lot of breeds now which inherited this valuable ability to adapt  to various environments,  including low temperatures. A puppy of an Eskimo dog is able to live when it is 50 degrees below zero.
      However, if our dog lives in a kennel we do not stop to worry whether he is OK when it is cold.  
Now the problem of dog kennel heating seems to be resolved and your pet can get a acomfortable house with a safe and reliable heating sysytem. See http://www.bigkennel.eu/gallery.html

Malinois in Defense


      Our malinois Jay is 18 months old. This video shows three main elements of mondioring defense training: attack, defense of a conductor and protection of an object. This training is focused on developing dog's skills to complete his tasks without a leash. This level of training requires highly  developed obedience,  concentration and a very good contact between the dog and his master.

Defense training with a smile


     Defense training requires good physical condition, concentration, excellent obedience. It is a serious physical and psychological challenge for the dog, as well as for the decoy. However, there is also a moment for smiling. This training of our young Herder (Dutch Shepherd dog) had a rather unexpected finish.  J)

Teaching of dogs'owners - a new trend in dogs' training


       What is the starting point in dog’s education? Obedience? Yes… But what is the “very starting point”? Oh, Yes – the cynological education of his owner. Alex Vyatkin, a trainer, instructor, breeder of malinois (working line) and – plus – a person of great charisma, organized a seminar (Ekaterinburg, Russia) with the key idea – to stop cynological ignorance. He gave serious knowledge and valuable skills easily and with a smile, suggesting to play games in which each owner got an opportunity to be “in a dog’s fur”. It seems the most effective way of educating dog owners J. See video and enjoy.


Moscow : Ice - Chemicals - Dog's Health

      Winter  came with snow, frost and ice. And big problems for dog's health. Again in Moscow roads are covered with chemicals for ice melting. It's much easier than to move the snow and ice mechanically. Chemicals damage dogs' paws severely. However, a walk with the dog can give much more dramatic consequences - allergy. On the photo you can see a dog with a grave allegic edema. If a dog breathes a particle of the chemicals he can get an edema of anatomic airways,  that can lead to his death. Those chemicals are very dangerous for animals. Why the City authorities use them? It' not difficult to guess: there is a strong lobby and big money behind the scene.
