  1. There is a misconception that the Labrador Retriever and the Golden Retriever have a relationship - but this is nothing more than a delusion. Sir Dudley Major banks, who later became known as Lord Tweedmouth, is, so to speak, the father of the Golden Retriever breed. It is said that the first dog named Nus, which he used as the basis for a breeding program, he acquired from a circus, and it was a Russian shepherd.

  2. Many experts believe that the Finnish Lapphund is the oldest northern dogs. 10 thousand years ago, the Sami (Lapps) lived in the territories of Ladoga and Karelia. Dogs were used for hunting and guarding property. Later - for herding herds of deer. Images of such dogs can be seen on the magic tambourines of shamans.

In addition, she is very fond of active walks, it is not for nothing that this breed is one of the most frequently used in agility.
