For the English owning of pets - it's not the kind of entertainment, but a way of life. If English house is his castle, his dog is a true king. Pets often serve their owners as psychologists and counselors. Empathic listening and responding to their owners through the language of body and mind, they surround their special healing energy that drives away the pain and suffering.

1.1 Dogs are the most favourite pets in Britain
British are convinced: the person who loves animals, can't be absolutely bad. They adore any kinds of animals. Also they take them not in order other people to make the favourites to protect the homes or other property, or to use them in the scientific purposes, or it is simple for prestige. British take pets only for the company.
In the UK, the first popular pets are dogs. About 6 million British take dogs, cats are the second, 5 million –take cats and on the third place are hamsters, on the fourth place in the list are fishes , there are about 25,000 species, on the 5th place are white mice, and then guinea pigs, birds, snakes, iguanas.
The widespread nicknames of dogs are Rover, Rax, Cindy, Misty; the cat's names are Albert, Snowy, Fluffy, Tom; the parrots' names are Polly, Chatterbox; Guy, Scamper.
British made even perfumes for dogs (at the price of 78,6 dollars for 50 milliliters). New perfumes have chances to become necessary attribute of stylish four-footed. The London brand of dog and cat's fashion Mungo& Maud presented dogs aroma Petite Amande which, according to developers, is the first toilet water only for dogs.
Also the official history of cynology began in England. The first exhibition of dogs was held in England on 28 June, 1859 in Newcastle. In 1873 English Kennel Klab was formed and the rules of holding exhibitions were written. Standards which with minor changes reached up to now a day were created.

Yorkshire terrier — the decorative breed of dog removed in England, the county Yorkshire at the end of the XIX century. The history of breed is still very short. The Manchester terrier, a Skye Terrier, a malteza, etc. were ancestors of these terriers. Now a Yorkshire terrier — one of the most popular room and decorative breeds of dog. Yorkshire terriers possess rather good health. The average duration of their life makes 12 — 15 years.
English bulldog — a short-haired breed of dog of the 2nd MKF group, subgroup of moloss and mastiffs. As use the standard refers breed to dogs bodyguards and partners. Bulldogs appeared in England and were used as etching dogs in "bloody sport"; mainly, in a bul-beyting — persecution of bulls. Actually, from here also there was a name of breed — a bulldog. There is also an international game which is called «British Bulldog».
In the territory of the Kingdom four breeds of dog are forbidden:
American pit bullterrier.
Phil Brazilero.
TosaInu
Argentina mastiff.
All animals of these breeds and closely related metises by rules are subject to an immediate lulling to slip. Fortunately, the option of preservation of life of an animal of these breeds on condition of obligatory sterilization of a dog if it is proved became possible recently that it doesn't pose threat for people around.
Dogs of all other breeds in England are loved. On streets of the cities it is possible to meet Labradors, Staffordshire bull terriers, German shepherds, various spaniels and borzays.
1.3 Rescue homes for homeless animals
Boundless love of animals is confirmed by the fact that even in 1824 the UK has established the Society for the Protection of Animals so it is not surprising that you will not find on the streets of London homeless dogs or cats. If suddenly the animal unattended and found (and this happens quite quickly) - it immediately placed in a special rescue homes. One of this is Battersea Dogs&CatsHome.
Great Britain Society of protection of animals against cruelty has the status Royal. Thus it should be noted that society on protection of children appeared only 60 years later. Animals often replace children to childless couples. The last statistics claims that 40% of women in England at the age of 40 years which got university education have no children. Therefore no wonder that you won't meet stray dogs or cats on streets of London. If suddenly the home animal is also found (and it happens quickly enough) – it immediately places in a special shelter. "To adopt" an animal from a shelter almost difficult, as well as the child: it is necessary to undergo a number of testing and procedures. One of such shelters is called Battersea Dogs & Cats Home
Shelter of "Mayhew" (Mayhew) in London – one of the oldest shelters in England. It first was opened in 1886. (And in Russia only 25 years earlier cancelled a serfdom …) the Shelter is for 30 dogs and 100 cats and it is considered small to English measures. Shelter represents the one-store building with a small front court yard for cats. Dogs are walked behind the territory of a shelter as they have no platform. Each dog lives in the single room. And it isn't simple the room, and the whole room in which even there is a TV for comfort. Each room is equipped with a shower for cleaning and washing dogs. Rooms are soundproofed that animals had no stress of neiboughood of dogs. Dogs are walked from 2 to 4 times a day. Nearly a half of dogs – staffers or pits (the similar tendency is observed and at us because get these breeds (in fact, being the victims of unethical selection of the person) it is frequent not professionals of cynology, but people, irresponsible, but inclined to demonstration of the importance, for which a dog often – not the living being and the partner, and the part of furniture chosen to match wall-paper, a craze or means for shocking and intimidation of people around of Cats Home.
1.4 The Queen's dog
The dog of the queen of Great Britain: A Welsh Corgi do you know such dog? No, you don't famous for certain. This breed became known thanks to the English queen. She lives in the yard in Great Britain,it is the favorite of the queen. It is very live and vigorous breed. It has a lot of force and it isfast in run. The queen fell in love with breed of a Welsh Corgi, and now it can’t staywithout favorite for a minute. The first dog of breed of a Welsh Corgi was brought as a gift in 1993, and then their number at court increased many times. They brought much positive in the royal family. Breed possessesan unique character, these dogs are kind and become attached to people. After all not without reason the queen so loved these dogs that could live without them anymore.
Two decades the dogs of breed of a Welsh Corgi fill in the Royal Court. Not only the queen loves these dogs, they are beloved by the members of all royal family. It became possible to tell these dogs are mascot of the Royal Court. After all the queen's favorites become practically at once favorites of all country. The people love the queen, as well as they loves everything that the queen of Great Britain loves. That is a tradition.
Chapter 2. Researching "People's character and their pets"
2.1 How people choose their pets
Experts are sure that people choose pets similar to themselves. Therefore knowing, what pet lives in the house at this or that acquaintance, you can unmistakably define his character and habits. Fans of birds are very sociable and mobile. They like to surround themselves with bright paints, for example, can choose unexpected wall-paper or a bright upholstery of furniture. Also such people adore various jewelry – ear rings, bracelets, a beads, etc. Besides, they like to surprise surrounding with extravagant hobbies.
Owners of reptiles – extraordinary, extravagant and friendly people. They love everything that allocates them from crowd, for example, design clothes and exotic food, and also are fond of history and geography.
Fans of rodents don't love loneliness. However, in their life communication and loneliness, active and passive recreation, the noisy companies and silent family pastime are equally balanced. They differ in pragmatism and thriftiness. These are very quiet and balanced people.
Owners of small fishes appreciate purity and a cosines, however, don't like to make many efforts for their maintenance. Hobby of such people is decoration of the house and a desktop.
Fans of cats – independent, capricious and a little selfish people. They appreciate heat and a cosiness in the house. Such people aren't too sociable, but are very inquisitive, creative and artistic.
Owners of dogs have a large number of friends, and also are inclined to communication and easily meet with people. On character such people, as well as their pet very devoted and patient.
Do you like to go after uneasy day to the world of tranquility and silence?
It is best of all for you to get animals who practically don't contact to people. Therefore various insects, snakes and aquarian small fishes will be the best pets for you.
You try to operate other people and you dream to look more significant person, than actually you are. Because of it you well will suit a big representative dog whom it is possible not only to bring up and train, but also is proud to show her to surrounding people.
You are a little closed person who constantly controls himself, and the most important – considers that nobody has to get into your personal records. To such people as you, are best of all to get a cat, after all she, lying on your laps, for hours can lie and listen to all your problems. And as these animals aren't persuasive at all, they don't distract the owners from important issues and the thoughts.
We determine character of the person by breed of his dog.
Once very long time ago the dog was tamed by the person. After that eventually also appearance of this remarkable animal began to change. And at the moment any fan of dogs can take to himself to the house of such doggie which is pleasant to it, without reflecting even sometimes that on breed of a dog it is possible to judge her owner with confidence …
And therefore – if your favourite is the Labrador, the boxer or a dalmatian, so you are surprisingly friendly. Employees at work cannot be afraid of intrigues or gossips of you. You don't focus attention on passing problems, and you don't build of them tragedies. In the personal relations you don't strive for a certain refinement, but you don't betray and you don't change.
If you are an owner of a Dobermann terrier, black terrier or riesenschnauzer, most likely, appearance at you not too bright, but self-respect – at height! You with some mistrust perceive new acquaintances, but in the relations with native and friends you are distinguished by rare kindness and patience. You are forgiving, but you possess good memory. The lucky who became your friends enjoy your hospitality, the highest level.
The owner of a bullmastiff, St. Bernard, the Newfoundland dog, as a rule, - is thickset, slow, but isn't lazy at all. He likes to work, and never leaves begun halfway.
If the person adores dachshunds, Scottish Terriers, fox terriers – means, he is funny and charming. But sometimes can touch surrounding with the causticity or irony. To offend such person not so simply, he is a fighter for the truth and for interests of those who can't stand itself for himself. He is stubborn, and often holds the ground to the last. Sets many purposes, and if not everything turns out, it is afflicted.
Setters are preferred by sports accurate people, with sure gait. Similar to their favourites, such people are active, they are adherents of a healthy lifestyle and pastime outdoors. They love an extreme, courageous and dexterous. And always try to apply these qualities. Despite it, they are quite reasonable. And still they are distinguished by an optimistic view by life.
If you love the Afghan borzois and hounds, you – prefer comfort, a little bit the arrogant man, you have a high self-assessment. You are quick-tempered, freedom-loving, but at the same time not really you like to show the feelings. However you are strong inside, and you can splash out suddenly all this outside (it not terribly if to aim your potential in the necessary party). You risk to get complexes if your aspiration to find yourself isn't realized.
Owners of English, French bulldogs and pugs –are people refined. These are intellectuals, as a rule, happy with life and liking to be the center of attention. Are quiet. Possessing jealous and mistrustful temper, are able not to show it. Are externally solid, but in soul – mischievous persons and rascals (the truth, only close and good friends know about it).
If you are a fan of Yorkshire terriers, toy terriers, pinschers, Chinese crested dogs, most likely, you – nature romantic and impressionable. Nobody is capable to be offended, and touching movies cause in you tears … The indispensable condition of existence for you is a cosiness and comfort. You are able to listen and therefore to you all run with the problems and burdens. You care of the appearance. Some think that you don't have enough will power though in practice you are able to set specific goals and surely to go to them.
If in your apartment there live very nice Pekineses, poodles or lap dogs – for certain, you stylish, with dazzling appearance the little man who wishes that people around paid to him attention. But such attention is not end in itself because you are sure of the irresistibility, and the rest is unimportant. You are easily trained also you like to teach people.
