Basic moments
The breed is not recognized by international cynological associations and continues to form exclusively through the efforts of the Russian breed club called "Petersburg Orchid".
The main population of St. Petersburg orchids lives in Russia. Single individuals of mainly pet-class are exported abroad.
The name of the breed was not invented by chance: fashion dogs were bred in the city on the Neva on the eve of the celebration of its 300th anniversary.
The Petersburg orchid is the best pet for couch potatoes, since the representatives of this family do not have to be walked.
Unlike other decorative dogs, bi***es of standard St. Petersburg orchids have no difficulties with bearing and giving birth to offspring. According to the rules of the breed club, individuals who at least once had to undergo a caesarean section are no longer allowed to breed.
Petersburg orchids are problem-free in terms of livability and easily share the territory with other dogs, cats and even rodents.
The breed rarely uses its voice and only when necessary, so that silence in the house where such a dog lives is ensured.
