1)Akita
The Akita is a dog breed of large size originating from the mountainous regions of northern Japan.
The Akita is a powerful, independent, and dominant breed, commonly aloof with strangers, but affectionate with family members. As a breed, Akitas are generally hardy.
Some countries refer to the American Akita as simply the Akita and not the American Akita. The issue is especially controversial in Japan.
2)Australian Shepherd
The Australian Shepherd is a breed of herding dog from the United States. Developed in California in the 19th century, it is claimed the breed descends from a variety of herding breeds.
The Australian Shepherd descends in part from pastoral dogs brought to herd Spanish flocks in North America as early as the 1500s.
The breed was subsequently recognised by the American Kennel Club in the 1990s and later the Federation Cytology International.
3)Appenzeller Sennenhund
The Appenzeller Sennenhund is a medium-sized breed of dog, one of the four regional breeds of Sennenhund type dogs from the Swiss Alps. The name Sennenhund refers to people called Senn, herders in the Appenzell region of Switzerland.
The Appenzeller Sennenhund was originally kept primarily as a cattle herding dog and a flock guardian. It was also used as a draft dog and general farm dog.
4)Bergamasco Shepherd
Bergamasco Shepherd is an Italian breed of sheepdog. It originated in the Alpine e Prealpi Bergamasche, where it was used as a herding dog for both sheep and cattle.
A dog of this type was exhibited at the first Italian dog show in Milan in 1881. The first registration of the breed in the Libel Origin Italian, the Italian national studbook, was in 1891.
Particularly on the hind part of the body, the coat forms long matted locks which provide good protection from bad weather.
5)Boxers
The Boxer was bred from the Old English Bulldog and the now extinct Bullenbeisser, which became extinct by crossbreeding rather than by a decadence of the breed.
The head is the most distinctive feature of the Boxer. The breed standard dictates that it must be in perfect proportion to the body and above all it must never be too light.
