"Emperor Putin" is a well-known dog lover. If you count the dogs that Putin has raised over the years, there are actually quite a lot of them, and there are many varieties. So what specific varieties are they?

1. Labrador

In 2000, Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu gave Putin a black Labrador named Connie. This Labrador is cute and obedient. Putin often plays with it and always looks at it with doting eyes. This is Putin's favorite dog. He takes it with him wherever he goes. He also takes it with him when holding important meetings or meeting foreign guests. You can imagine the scene at that time. Putin was discussing serious issues with a group of dignitaries. A black Labrador squatted at Putin's feet or shuttled among them, its tail wagging back and forth. This scene is quite a bit of a peaceful time. In 2014, the Labrador who had been with Putin for 14 years got old and went to the dog planet. Putin was sad about this for a long time.

2. Bulgarian Shepherd

In 2010, the Prime Minister of Bulgaria gave Putin another puppy, a precious Bulgarian Shepherd. This puppy is very beautiful, with big eyes, ignorant little eyes, and thick hair. After getting the puppy, Putin was very happy, with a motherly smile on his face, and he carefully held it in his arms like a child. From time to time, he would kiss it and put his face against the puppy's face, which was extremely pampering and satisfying.

3. Akita

In 2012, Putin got his third puppy, a female Akita named "Dream". After the great earthquake in Japan in 2011, Russia provided timely assistance to help Japan rebuild after the disaster. This puppy was given to Putin by the Japanese Prime Minister as a token of gratitude.

3. Central Asian Shepherd

In 2017, on Putin’s 65th birthday, the President of Turkmenistan gave him another Central Asian Shepherd. The puppy's name is very interesting, "Welney", which means loyalty when translated into Chinese. This is probably because he wants to show his attitude.

4. Saplaninak

In 2019, when Putin visited Serbia, the Serbian president gave him another cute puppy, a 4-month-old Saplaninak, "Pasha". Putin couldn't resist the cute puppy as soon as he saw it. After seeing "Pasha", he didn't care what others thought of him and squatted on the ground to play with the puppy.

Okay, the above are the dog breeds raised by Emperor Putin. If you are interested, you might as well try raising a dog of the same type!
