dog breeds

Dog have been selectively breed for thousands of years, sometimes by inbreeding dogs from the same ancestral lines, sometimes by mixing dogs from very different lines. The process continues today, resulting in a tremendous variety of dog breeds
I will post one by one

The Affenpinscher

The Affenpinscher is a balanced, wiry-haired terrier-like toy dog whose intelligence and demeanor make it a good house pet.

• Group: Toy
• Height: 9 to 11 1/2 inches
• Coat: Dense, rough, harsh textured

Originating in Germany, where the name Affenpinscher means, ''monkey-like terrier,'' the breed was developed to rid the kitchens, granaries and stables of rodents. In France the breed is described as the "diablotin moustachu'' or the moustached little devil. Both these names help to describe the appearance and attitude of this delightful breed.

Fischer's Lovebird

The Fischer's Lovebird can be described simply as beautiful. With their natural warm hues the Fishers Lovebird is sure to capture your heart. It is no surprise that the Fischer's Lovebird is one of the most loved Lovebirds raised in captivity today.

The Fischer's Lovebird is not only handsome, but he is playful, energetic and fun to be around. In addition the Fischer's Lovebird is easy to tame, and bonds easily with his owners. This is particularly true if you buy a young handraised bird. Unlike many of the other parrot species, Fischer's Lovebirds are relatively quiet and will not cause the complaints larger parrots often draw from neighbors and housemates. In addition the cost of a Fischer's Lovebird is minimal when compared so some other parrots. The Fischer's Love bird is also easier to house and care for because of their small size. Lovebirds in general are not know for talking ability; the Fischer is no exception. If you want a bird that has talking ability you should select another breed. On occasion some Fischer's Lovebirds have been taught a couple words to mimic, but this is not the norm and should not be expected. Some refer to the Fischer's Lovebird as 'clowns'. This is because they are such energetic playful creatures. They bounce around their environments from perch to toy, to toy and back to their perch again, exhibiting almost tireless energy.

The Fischer's Lovebird comes in a wide variety of color mutations including, Albino, Pied, Black or Dark Eyed White, Dilute Blue, Dilute Yellow, Lutino, and Cinnamon. Fischer's Lovebirds are classified with four other distinct species as 'Eye-ring Lovebirds' (The other three species are Black Cheeked, Masked and Nyasa). This classification is readily apparent, as the Fischer's Lovebird possesses a white eye ring that is not existent in other breeds such as the Peach Faced Lovebird. The Fischer's Lovebird is much smaller than other parrot species measuring only five to six and a half inches at adulthood.

The Fischer's Lovebird originates in Africa and nearby Islands.

peach Faced Lovebird

The Peach Faced Lovebird, also known as the Rosy Faced Lovebird, is a species of lovebird native to arid regions in southwestern Africa such as the Namib Desert. A loud and constant chirper, these birds are very social animals and often congregate in small groups in the wild. They eat throughout the day and take frequent baths. Coloration can vary widely among populations but females are generally darker and greener, whilst males are smaller and brighter. Lovebirds are renowned for their sleep position in which they sit side-by-side and turn their faces in towards each other. Also, females are well noted to tear raw materials into long strips, "twisty-tie" them onto their backs, and fly distances back to make a nest.
