The breed of long - haired toy - terrier can still be considered very young. The first representative of this species appeared in 1957. The father of the wonder-child was a standard, nothing to be distinguished by a toy-terrier , and my mother had, on envy of girl-friends, a thick elongated coat. A child named Chikki took the best from his parents and added to his own qualities. Unusual to the usual toy - terrier, the scuffs on the paws and ears looked very nice. Since Chickey was the only owner of the "highlight" his external data was firmly decided to be fixed in genetics.
After some time, Chikki had the opportunity to continue her lineage. Casting for the role of mother of offspring was the strictest. In the end, we managed to find a suitable candidate and the puppies of the long-haired Terrier Chikki with the characteristic features of the Moscow breed of Russian offspring appeared. Moscow they began to call the place of birth. And in 1964, the Moscow long-haired toy mini-terrier showed itself in all its glory at the dog show. Two years later, the breed was recognized as official, although changes in the offspring still occur.
Almost red book
The nineties gave Russian breeders several new breeds of decorative dogs living in Europe. The excitement for the novelty was ousted from the market by a long-haired toy - a terrier, which turned out to be almost disappeared.
Several breeders did not give up and revived their favorite breed almost from scratch. This joyful news forced itself to wait a long time, because the breed is not very fruitful and far from every long-haired terrier puppies meet high standards.
At the moment, the breed is still considered rare, but no longer stands in the point of endangered species.
The joy of adding
When an addition occurs in the family of the terrier, it is a joy not only for the parents themselves, but also for the owners of the breed. The maximum number of children in an adult female can reach three puppies.
