00:00 The president of the largest country in the world, the Russian Federation, turned out to be a big dog lover.
00:06 He is the owner of not one or two, but five beautiful pets at once.
00:12 It is not surprising because knowing Putin's affection for dogs,
00:17 political leaders of different countries do not think long about the gift. All Putin's dogs are gifts from politicians.
00:26 In this video, we will talk about the dogs living in the personal residence of the president.
00:32 They guard his palace and himself.
00:34 If you love animals, then subscribe to our channel and express your opinion in the comments below.
00:53 So let us begin. Taigan, Kyrgyz Greyhound, Sharkhound.
00:58 On March 28, 2019, Vladimir Putin met with the president of the Kyrgyz Republic,
01:05 Soranbay Jerenbekov. The latter, as a sign of exceptional respect for the president of the Russian Federation,
01:13 presented him with a rare present, a six-month-old Taigan puppy.
01:18 Taigan is an ancient aboriginal Kyrgyz breed belongs to the class of hunting.
01:24 If you literally translate the name from Kyrgyz, you get "catch up and kill".
01:30 The first mentions can be found in the Kyrgyz epic.
01:34 The strongman Manas was the master of the Taigan named Kumayik.
01:39 The peculiarity of Taigans is their adaptability to hunting at an altitude of more than 2,000 meters.
01:47 They reach speeds of up to 60 kilometers per hour.
01:50 Kyrgyz Greyhounds reach 60-70 centimeters at the withers and outwardly very much resemble Kazakh Greyhounds.
01:59 Unfortunately, today the Kyrgyz Greyhounds are on the verge of extinction.
02:03 There are no more than a thousand purebred Taigans in the country.
02:07 In Kyrgyzstan, the dog is considered a national pride.
02:12 Outside the country, little is known about this dog and you will hardly find it at exhibitions.
02:18 This is a real exotic.
02:20 Therefore, Sorin by Geran Bekov chose this wonderful dog as a gift.
02:25 Sharplaninskaya Shepherd Dog Pasha.
02:30 And even earlier on January 17th, 2019, the president of Serbia, Alexander Vucic,
02:36 presented Putin with a Sharplanin sheepdog puppy.
02:40 The kid was named Pasha.
02:42 The history of this breed begins in 1938, when they were first bred in the Balkans.
02:50 The following year, the breed was already registered in the International Cynological Federation, or ICF,
02:56 as an Illyrian Shepherd Dog and since 1957 already as a Sharplanin.
03:02 For many years, dogs of this breed remained a mystery to the whole world,
03:07 because the authorities of Yugoslavia simply did not allow the export of shepherd dogs outside the country.
03:14 Only in 1970, the first Sharplanin Shepherd Dog was exported abroad.
03:19 In recent years, Sharplanin sheepdogs have enjoyed popularity due to their resilient nature.
03:26 Characteristic features of the breed.
03:28 Possesses high endurance, can easily live in cold conditions, thanks to warm wool.
03:36 Have a calm and balanced character.
03:38 There is an opinion that Sharplanin sheepdogs are capricious,
03:44 but in fact the owner is the highest authority for them.
03:47 Alibi faithful.
03:50 By the way, it sounds very menacing and cute at the same time.
03:54 Putin also received his alibi as a gift.
03:57 The puppy was handed over by the president of Turkmenistan, Gurbanguly Berdymuhamedov in 2017.
04:05 Putin liked the dog immediately.
04:07 He took the little one in his arms and kissed him on the head.
04:10 Then the puppy hid, but not because he did not like the new owner.
04:14 Alibis are very careful with strangers and the faithful needs time to get used to and to get to know him.
04:21 This is a special gift in Turkmenistan, because alibi is also a national treasure and pride of the country.
04:28 The uniqueness of the alibi is that they were not artificially bred.
04:34 Since ancient times, they have been used to guard sheep flocks or services.
04:40 According to unconfirmed reports, the breed has existed on the planet for several millennia.
04:46 It is very difficult to take the alibi outside Turkmenistan, since the export of dogs of this breed is prohibited.
04:54 An interesting fact is that in the 1930s they tried to put alibi in the state service of the USSR.
05:03 This could not be done, since dogs have a very wayward character.
05:08 In terms of care and training, alibis are difficult dogs.
05:12 But they have very strong will and have great strength.
05:16 Putin definitely liked such a present.
05:30 Yume is a real exotic star in Vladimir Vladimirovich's collection of animals.
05:36 Putin personally chose the nickname, giving it a special meaning.
05:40 Yume means "dream" in Japanese.
05:43 The puppy was presented to the president by the governor of the Japanese prefecture of Akita, Norihisa Satake,
05:51 for help in eliminating natural disasters.
05:54 Putin happily said that the gift was cute and in return he kindly presented the governor with a Siberian cat.
06:01 Putin took Yume with him to interviews with Japanese journalists.
06:05 The animal showed excellent upbringing and a generally healthy and vigorous appearance,
06:11 as noted by the representatives of the press themselves.
06:14 Yume is now in her seventh year.
06:17 The appearance of the Akita Inu is for the most part the merit of nature, not man.
06:22 During the period of feudal rule, Akita Inu were used to protect the royal family and nobility.
06:28 From the 16th to the early 19th centuries, Akita Inu were used as fighting dogs,
06:34 which subsequently affected their behavior in general.
06:38 That is why Yume demands increased attention and training from Putin,
06:42 since she is not easily amenable to education.
06:50 Buffy went to Putin from the prime minister of Bulgaria back in 2010.
06:55 The puppy was bred in Boiko Borisov's personal kennel.
06:59 It is not surprising that he chose just such a present, although the press was surprised at this.
07:05 Upon his return to Russia, Putin announced a competition for the best name for the pet.
07:11 The name of the shepherd dog was chosen by the whole country, and a boy named Dima won.
07:16 Subsequently, Putin invited him to personally meet the puppy.
07:21 The meeting took place in December of the same year, and Dima also received a gift from the president - an autographed ball.
07:29 The Bulgarian Shepherd Dog, or Karakachan dog, is one of the oldest herding breeds in the Balkans.
07:36 The breed is not recognized by the FCI, however it is classified and certified.
07:42 The dog is ideal for guarding, has a calm and balanced disposition.
07:47 These dogs are unfriendly to other animals, but get along well with people.
07:53 Putin himself is pleased with the pet, as he notes,
07:56 "The puppy is cute, but draws piles and puddles for me all over the house."
08:02 Later, the president noted that he loved him very much.
08:05 Across the Buffy, a request was sent to Bulgaria to obtain a female of the same breed.
08:12 Labrador Connie Palgrave, or Connie for short.
08:17 Perhaps Putin's most famous and beloved pet is his dog, a black Labrador named Connie.
08:24 It was presented to Putin in 1999 by the former head of the Ministry of Emergencies
08:30 and the current Minister of Defense of the Russian Federation, Sergei Shoigu.
08:34 Connie often flashed in photo reports from meetings of Vladimir Putin with various high-ranking officials.
08:40 In 2007, Putin took Connie to a meeting with Angela Merkel, who is terribly afraid of dogs.
08:46 Subsequently, the president apologized for the animal's behavior.
08:50 Opposition circles joked about this, expressing their dissatisfaction with the political regime.
08:56 On the eve of the elections, an internet voting was organized about the future president of the Russian Federation,
09:03 in which it was Connie who was in the lead, 37% of the votes.
09:08 Jokingly, Putin has repeatedly stated that Connie will be his successor.
09:12 Unfortunately, this didn't happen. Connie died in 2014.
09:17 The Labrador is a very vertical dog.
09:20 They are used not only as companions, but also as guides and nurses.
09:25 It is not surprising that Connie became the president's favorite, which he took with him everywhere.
09:31 The nature of the Labradors is docile and friendly.
09:36 Initially, Labradors were black like Putin's.
09:40 Only then the breed standard began to include fawn and chocolate.
09:46 But Putin has not only dogs, but other animals as well.
09:58 Vladimir Vladimirovich is distinguished by his love not only for dogs, but also for all our smaller brothers.
10:05 So in 2003, Putin was symbolically presented with a white goat in honor of the coming year.
10:12 The goat was named "a tail".
10:14 And in 2008, on the occasion of the president's birthday, he was presented with a little tiger cub, Masha.
10:21 For some time, Masha lived at the Novoogorovo residence and later moved to the zoo in Gelendzhik.
10:28 Putin also loves horses.
10:31 He has a lot of them.
10:33 The first horse was presented to the president in 2000.
10:37 Igor Stroyev, the former governor of the Orlov region, gave him a trotter.
10:42 In 2001, Putin's kennel was replenished with a stallion of Akhal-Teghi breed.
10:48 The gift was presented to Putin by Murtaza Rahimov, who was the president of Bashkiria.
10:54 Putin received three Arabs from the king of Jordan, the mayor Aiziz, and the stallions Ibn Maruf and Hakim.
11:03 Musharraf later sent two more Arabian horses.
11:07 Saparmurat Niyazov and later Gabun Guli Badi Muhammadov were both heads of Turkmenistan.
11:14 They presented Akhal-Teghi horses to Putin as a present.
11:18 In the city of Nalchik, Putin received from Kabardino-Balkaria a horse named Kazbich of the Kabardian breed and others.
11:26 The title of the most famous horse of the president is honorably held by Padik.
11:31 This mini horse is only 54 cm tall.
11:35 All of Putin's pets are located at his residence in Novoogorovo.
11:41 Wow! What is it?
11:46 It's a huge fire!
