Pražský krysařík

Wrong Thought!!!

All this while i was thinking my dog belongs to Chi Group. But Now the greatest discovery reveal that Coco is somehow related to the breed called Prazsky Krysarik.

I went to the Pet Shop yesterday and describe the colour of Coco and they told me that it is not Chi but rather Miniature Pinscher. I am confuse.. So Confuse.. Went back search around for the picture and see which one relate the best. Its not Chi or Min Pin. But to my understanding, Coco looks like Prazsky Krysarik. I have no idea what will be the description, thus i judge based on the pictures and colours initially.

But when i read further, it makes up the complete puzzle picture.

The picture below speak a thousand word.



Coco definitely doenst look like a Chi. And Pinscher is way to ugly to relate with Coco. Prazsky looks exactly like a Toy. Hahah Wtf. Very Cartoon type.

Coco used to have ears like the one in the photo. But somehow a week later after brought back home. The ears start to stand up. Erected. WTF! We tried to massage hoping that the ears will back to be flopped again :D Doenst work of course. Now standing up like Bat Ears.

Characteristics:

Miniature, very active, alert, lively. Coat consists of short hair and its colour is mostly black and tan. He is 2 cm shorter in maximum height than the Miniature Pinscher in minimum height. He is highly developed. He shows love for his master and is very watchful. When running. he is very quick and lively.

Origin: The Czech Republic.

Reasons for keeping him:

There are two reasons for keeping him. One is his highly developed sense of smell, small size and briskness so he was used for killing rats (Krysa; it gave him the name "Krysarik"). These qualities he possesses have been developed over the past centuries. The other reason is that in nature he is very social, obedient, warm-hearted, he understands children and his love for home is absolutely conservative. By nature he is noble and intelligent.

Short history:

Historically, this breed called Prague Ratter (Pražský krysařík) was known in the remote past of our nation. This small dog was often seen at aristocratic feasts at Prague Castle. In the early history of our state he adorned courts of Bohemian princes and kings, and he was also owned by other European rulers because kings of Bohemia presented him to them. Later his owners were ordinary citizens. From the history of the Pražský krysařík we can learn a lot, because most of it has been preserved. For instance, we know that this breed really comes from Bohemia and its origins can be traced back to the early history of our nation. In 1980 its breeding was successfully started so the Pražský krysařík is again a favorite pet in The Czech Republic.

General characteristics:

He is a small dog whose appearance reminds of the nonexistent toy Pinscher. The characteristics are very close to those of Miniature Pinscher. The liveliness, which is so valued, is typical of him. His briskness is admirable. He is very watchful, concentrated, at the same time he is playful, warmhearted and always to come for a cuddle. He is very loving to his master. He fits into any household. Thanks to his short-haired coat and small size.

Found in the Czech Republic, the Prazsky Krysavik was developed in the 1980s for the sole purpose of being a companion animal. Spotting this toy dog outside its home region is a rare occurrence as its population numbers less than 1000. The prazsky popularity is slowly growing as breeders are begining to increase this breed's exposure at European dog show. It remain relatively unknown in US.

The Bambi-type Krysavik has a broad, moderately domed skull with a muzzle that comes to an abrupt stop. Large ears sit far apart on the head, further enhancing its deer-like image. Almond shaped eyes sit far apart, and are a dark brown or black in color. The neck is short, and slender. These tiny dogs possess elongated backs, and finely boned legs. The overall body appearance seems fragile and thin. This breed has a short, sleek coat with is black with tan markings. No other colors are allowed.

These vivacious bundles of energy hold more personality than dog. The Prazky is lively, loyal, and highly affectionate. It often bonds closely with one or two people, yet remains friendly to everyone. Despite their size, these tiny creatures are avid ratters, and are capable of bringing down rodents half their size. The Prazky has a hunting streak few would expect in such a small animal.

Social, outgoing, and playful, the Prazsky gets along with children, and other animals. At the same time, younger children should be supervised at all times to prevent rough handling. Because of their diminutive stature, the Prazsky can easily suffer from a break if dropped by a careless youngster. They don't make the worst watchdogs as they will bark at anything that enters their line of sight.

Intelligent, and eager to please, the Prazsky learns quickly. Pups tend to be active, so play before a training session will make the lesson more productive. Due to their tiny size, many owners pamper their babies, and don't allow the dog's abilities to emerge. These little bundles do well with obedience training, and should be allowed to hone their natural talents.
