Breed of the Week : Belgian Malinois

The Belgian Malinois originated in Belgium, where it was developed in the late 19th century as a part of the group of breeds collectively known as Belgian shepherds. The Malinois is named after the city of Malines (Mechelen) in Belgium, where the breed was first standardized. The breed was developed alongside3 other Belgian shepherd breeds, including the Tervuren, Laekenois, and Belgian shepherd (Groenendael.) Early breeders focused on creating a versatile and intelligent working dog. They were first bred for herding, protection, and companionship. Emphasizing traits such as agility, trainability and strong work ethic.

After gaining formal recognition in 1891, they gained tremendous popularity for working dogs across Europe and the US. The Belgian Malinois has since then been recognized as the top choice for law enforcement and military roles. Their high energy levels, coupled with an intense dire to work, make them ideal candidates for demanding task. They excel in search-and-rescue operations, detection work, and protection services. The success of these dogs in high-stakes situations has brought their attention to the public eye. The Malinois can make excellent family pets but is it essential to understand that they require significant physical and mental stimulation to thrive.

Belgian Malinois have earned their place in pop culture and history, showcasing their intelligence and loyalty in both fiction and real-life. One of the most famous Mallinois, Cairo was a Belgian Malinois who served in the United States Navy SEALs. After being injured in combat and about to be retired, Cairo got the order for the mission of the life time. They were going after Osama Bin Laden. Cairo was off the retirement track and, with the team, sent to North Carolina to train at a full-scale replica of Bin Laden’s compound. On May 2, 2011 Cairo along with 11 other Navy SEALs raided the compound and took down Osama Bin Laden. Cairo is an excellent example of the bravery and loyalty of Belgian Malinois.

Breed of the Week !!! Chow Chow
This week’s spotlight is the Chow Chow, a breed that steals hearts with its teddy bear like appearance and loyal personality.

Chow Chow’s are easily recognizable thanks to their thick double coat, which can come in various colors,including red, black, blue, cinnamon, and cream. Their ears are small rounded set high on their head and are covered with thick fur this adds to the breeds bear like appearance. Their dense fluffy coat helps them adapt to various weather conditions. One of the most distinctive features is its blue-black tongue.This unique trait is shared with only a few other breeds such as the Shar Pei. Chows have strong straight legs with large padded paws. With their sturdy build and a dignified stance these dogs exude a sense of nobility.

The Chow Chow is one of the oldest dog breeds, with origins that can be traced back over 2,000 years. Evidence suggest they were found primarily in the northern regions of China, during the Han Dynasty (206 BC- 220 AD.) Valued as companion animals, Chows were particularly popular among the nobility
and wealthy families. They were bred for various purposes including hunting larger game, herding, guarding, and even pulling carts. One of the primary purposes was to serve as guard dogs. In modern times, chows have transitioned for the most part into companion animals. Their loyal and affectionate nature makes them beloved family pets, although they still retain some of their original guarding instincts.

Pictured below is Ethan. Isn't he just the most adorable little teddy bear... He is 15 weeks old :)

Breed of the Week : Chesapeake Bay Retriever

Chesapeake Bay Retrievers are believed to have originated in early 19th century in the Chesapeake Bay area of the United States, particularly in Maryland and Virginia. They were developed from a mix of various retriever breeds, such as Newfoundland and the Curly-Coated retriever, to create a that could handle the cold waters of the bay and excel in retrieving waterfowl.

The Chesapeake Bay Retriever is the official state dog of Maryland, a testament to its historical significance and popularity in that region. As their name suggest, they excel at retrieving and are known for their love of water. Their coat, distinct among retrievers; is dense, wavy and slightly oily that helps them repel water. This unique coat makes them excellent swimmers and particularly suited for cold weather.
