Dog Toy Terrier - description
These high-legged dogs with expressive eyes (meaning the Russian breed) with their origin, oddly enough, are indebted to the October Revolution. In pre-revolutionary times, one of the most popular among the aristocracy decorative breeds were English toy-terriers. But in those turbulent times, unfortunately, the number of these dogs (to the note: in the English translation "toy" means a toy) has reached a critical point. Only after almost half a century a new breed of "toy" dogs was produced by the efforts of Russian cynologists: the Russian toy terrier , which has several significant differences from its "English" progenitor. Let's draw some parallel between Russian and English Toyi.
Toy Terrier - standards
At once it is necessary to make a reservation that the English toy-terrier now concerns disappearing breeds. So, the "English" is slightly larger than the Russian toia - their weight ranges from 2.7 to 3.6 kg. While the weight of an adult male Russian toy should not exceed three kilograms. Accordingly, the sizes of these toy terriers also vary: the height of the English toe is 25-30 cm, and the permissible growth of the Russian, according to the breed standards, is 20-28 cm. Also, getting acquainted with the description of the breed, it is possible to note the significant difference between the Russian Toy Terrier and English in the standards for color. For the "Englishman", only black color with tan marks strictly marked by the standard of the form is allowed.
But for the Russian tuichik several colors are permissible - from any shade of reddish, fawn to brownish, black, bluish - or isabel-tan. In addition, the Russian toy terrier can be either smooth-haired or long-haired (the length of a straight or slightly wavy coat is 3-5 cm). And especially worth noting when describing the breed Russian Toy Terrier character of these dogs.
Another interesting feature of the breed - dogs are easily accustomed to the toilet in the tray. But this does not mean that you do not have to walk with it. Be sure to take your pet out for walks to give him the opportunity to socialize with the same kids. But protect the pet from contact with large dogs. Toei, especially males, do not feel their small size and can easily put themselves in danger, deciding to "find out the relationship" with a larger dog.
