Reviews
The dog breed Petersburg orchid is not just a dog, it is a gift of fate. Pluses: enthusiasm, activity, joy and love. Disadvantages: likes to sit on his hands and may even fall asleep. But a hurricane positive emotions negates this disadvantage.
Last year, at work, my wife was presented with my wife puppy, a girl of the breed “Petersburg Orchid”.

We still have a cat, and when he fights on the street, guarding his territory, she does not hesitate helps his friend in the fight, although there is little benefit, because any cat it will be mastered, but boil up so much that the aggressor leaves the battlefield. The dog is not aggressive, good-natured, loves affection, if for a long time you don’t pay attention to her, she will immediately remind about herself, she’s suitable and pushes you with a paw. But when you get home from work, then A hurricane of emotions and a dog dance are waiting for you, standing on your hind legs and jumping in a circle. You will never forget this.
