The presented bulldog dog is made of fabric using the technique of coffee toys. What is this technique? Sewing coffee toys resembles the manufacture of the well-known Tilds, with one difference - for tildes, the fabric is processed with special coffee solutions BEFORE manufacturing, and for coffee toys, during manufacturing and after. Each master prepares a coffee solution (impregnation, soil) in his own way, someone brews ground coffee beans, someone brews instant coffee, as well as the proportions of water, coffee and PVA glue can be different for everyone.

On a note! New Year 2018 will be held under the sign of the yellow (brown) dog, which means that coffee dogs will be relevant all this year. For more ideas on making dogs, see our forum in the section:.


In this master class, we will tell and show how to sew a primitive coffee dog. Why Primitive? Because for sewing, we chose the simplest and most primitive pattern that you can draw on a piece of paper by hand (also at the end of the article there are several options for patterns of primitive dogs, using which you can sew many different coffee toys), cut out from fabric 2 details and sew along the contour. The work, although very simple, but creative and interesting!

Materials required for work:

  • dense white fabric;
  • needle and thread;
  • scissors;
  • filler;
  • ring and cord for hanging;
  • PVA glue;
  • wide brush;
  • a bag of instant coffee;
  • simple pencil;
  • helium black pen;
  • nail polish in white, black and transparent;
  • brown oil pastel;
  • any 1 cm ribbon for a bow.

How to sew a primitive dog using the coffee toy technique

And we begin work with a pattern of the dog itself. Its value depends on your desire.


According to the finished shape of the dog, draw with a pencil on a fabric folded in two layers. We make a line along the contour. You can sew on a sewing machine, as well as sew with a needle and thread with a “needle forward” seam. Just in any case, you need to leave a free hole for eversion. And when everything is stitched, you need to cut out the figure along the contour, leaving an allowance from the laid line. And at the free hole it is better to add more allowance.

Then we will begin to turn the product on the front side in any convenient way. Well level all the inner corners.

Now let's move on to the formation of the toy. We stuff the dog tightly enough with any available filler.

Now it's time to prepare the coffee primer. To do this, pour coffee from a bag into a small container, add 6 tablespoons warm water, mix well. Then add 5 tablespoons of PVA glue, and again stir until smooth. If desired, you can add vanilla and cinnamon powder to this mixture.

And then we cover the whole toy with a coffee primer, hang it to dry completely. And on a dry toy in the place where there was a thread for hanging, we fasten small ring and we pass a lace 23 cm long into it.

Then we proceed to the processing of a dry dog. First, draw the contours on the muzzle with a pencil. Eyes, nose, cheeks, outline the tail.

Now we will draw dark places. Take an oil pastel, you can use a brown watercolor pencil. With this tone we pass along the entire contour of the toy. We additionally darken the entire tail, one ear and muzzle. The pencil remains a noticeable outline on the fabric.


The pastel should be gently rubbed with a dry brush or cotton swab for a smooth transition over the fabric. And only then with a black pen we strengthen the contours from the pencil.


It's time to work on the eyes. There are several options. You can paint immediately with black nail polish. Still try to first outline with a pen, and then cover with a transparent layer of varnish. Do not forget about the nose, it also needs to be processed.


To give a lively look, we draw glare with white varnish - dots on the eyes and nose. It remains only to sew a bow made of a thin ribbon. And with that, the coffee doggy will be done.

Simple patterns of coffee primitive dogs:

Primitive dog breeds are created by nature and without human intervention, only with the help of natural selection. Primitive breeds have developed under conditions of strong influence of natural selection.

The term "primitive" when applied to a small group of dogs that descend from the Indian plains wolf Canis lupus Pallipes) is rather arbitrary. Some members of this group, such as the dingo and the New Guinea singing dog, are indeed primitive in that they are found on early stage domestication or their domestication may have stopped. Others, such as Mexican Hairless Dogs and Basenjis, although descended from the same ancestors, have been greatly altered by human intervention in their breeding.

FIRST RESETTLEMENTS

Experts are convinced that wandering groups of people left Southwest Asia between 10,000 and 15,000 years ago, accompanied by pariah dogs. These animals entered the Middle East and North Africa at least 5,000 years ago through migration and trade. Images of the most ancient of the recorded breeds - the pharaoh dog - adorn the tombs of the ancient Egyptian pharaohs. This dog may have been a descendant of the animal known as the "Phoenician dog" - the Phoenicians traded dogs throughout the Mediterranean, introducing breeds now called Canaan dogs, Cirneco dell'Etna and Ibizan dogs.

EARLY EVOLUTION

Subsequently, dogs found themselves in the heart of Africa, and although the Basenji is the only primitive African breed officially recognized today, many other similar breeds existed until recently. In West Africa, the Liberian dog appeared - similar to a terrier, small, neat, with brown-red hair; in Kenya, the East African dog - a larger animal with a powerful muzzle - found a place for itself as a scavenger and a hunter's companion. Baghrimi dogs of similar size and appearance were variegated, while the Bantu dog, used for hunting and guarding, was much more graceful, with a pointed muzzle. IN South Africa small but powerful, with a square muzzle, the fawn Zulu dog also played the role of a guard and helped the hunters. In Zaire, the Pygmies kept long-headed, pointed-eared forest dogs, while the Hottentots were accompanied by Spitz-type animals with fluffy tails. The fox-like kabile, or duar, guarded herds and people, while the baganda dog, long-legged, with a tail wrapped in a ring, served to hunt in a pack. All these related breeds existed in their pure form until the 20th century.

While some pariah dogs migrated to the west, others accompanied people on their journey to the east. Many of them followed the people who crossed the isthmus at the site of the current Bering Strait and moved to America. Some of these Asian pariah dogs mixed with North American wolves, but archaeological evidence shows that purebred dogs, clearly similar to dingoes, first spread to the south. -west North America(the territory of the present state of Arizona), and then southeast, into modern Georgia and South Carolina. The Canadian Taltan Bear Dog may have been a link in this chain. The same can be said for the extinct Kentucky “shell mound dog” and “basket maker dog.” The origin of the Central and South American breeds, apparently, will remain a mystery. The native dogs of Mexico and Peru may well be hairless descendants of Asian pariah dogs that came further south through migration and trade. In the same way, it is likely that they are later descendants of African pariah dogs brought to Central and South America European merchants. If this is the case, then the Mexican Hairless Dog and the Peruvian Inca Orchid are more closely related to the African Basenji than to the Carolina Dog.

NATURAL SELECTION

The evolution of primitive dogs to some extent implied their self-domestication. Difficult environmental conditions forced people to direct selection towards the small size of animals, and therefore primitive dogs are not as large as their ancestors - Indian wolves. When the number of dogs around human dwellings increased, the smaller dogs, which needed less food, were more likely to survive. Evolutionary change is happening much faster than previously thought; the same is true of the rate at which animal species colonize new lands. It took the fox only 130 years to spread from Victoria in southern Australia to the Kimberley mountains in the north. It may have taken the dingo less than 500 years to colonize the entire continent.

With the exception of the dingo and the New Guinea singing dog, pariahs are relatively easy to digest. initial course training. They are always alert and may seem somewhat indifferent. Some breeds are stopped at an early stage by human intervention and lack the traits that have come about through selective breeding, such as keen senses, strength, or a friendly, outgoing disposition.

In Egypt, five thousand-year-old images of animals have been discovered that are almost indistinguishable from Ibizan dogs.

Although the Cirneco dell'Etna is smaller than the Pharaoh and Ibizan Hound, it is also descended from primitive Asian dogs that were traded throughout the Mediterranean.

It is possible that the Peruvian Inca orchid is descended from Asian dogs brought to the Americas 12,000 years ago, although it may be of more recent, African origin.

Akita Inu bright representatives lance-shaped primitive dogs from Japan. The breed is very ancient, human participation in its development is minimal. And in the middle of the 20th century, the Akita had a period of independent survival in the mountains, without any human participation.

The Canaan Hound is a robust, medium-sized dog descended from the pariah dogs of the Middle East.

One of the three Portuguese hounds, the Portuguese Podengo Mediu or as it is called the Wirehaired Medium Portuguese Hound, is much smaller than the standard Podengo Grande (as it was at the beginning). The medium's small size allowed it to survive in difficult conditions.

The Basenji is the only primitive African dog that has gained wide popularity outside of its homeland. Just like the wolf and the dingo, the basenji only comes into heat once a year.

The Mexican Hairless Dog Toy is the smallest of the three varieties of the Mexican Hairless Dog and also the most gentle. Even his woolly individuals are very susceptible to hypothermia, especially in northern countries.

Strikingly similar to the Egyptian jackal god Anubis, the pharaoh hound continued to be bred in isolation in Malta until European breeders discovered it in the 1960s.

The birthplace of the New Guinean singing dog is New Guinea, although archeological research indicates that it arrived on this island only 2000 years ago.

The Smooth Coated Lesser Portuguese Hound is a dwarf variety of the ancient primitive Podengo, a true master ratter.

Spitz-like and primitive dogs are known to everyone. Sometimes they are also called native breeds. These dogs differ from the factory ones in that they were born solely due to natural selection in an evolutionary way.

Many experts are convinced that the definition of "primitive" is incorrect, but in this context it has a synonym: "natural", which is fully consistent with their origin and future lifestyle.

The variety of spitz and primitive aboriginal dogs increases from north to south, exactly in accordance with nature, as due south, diversity increases. wildlife generally.

Moreover, in the zone of their habitat in the polar zone, sled dogs are very similar to each other; in the tundra, their species diversity increases, because. shepherd dogs, hunting huskies, etc. live and work here. And most of all types of primitives are in the tropics.

Advantages

These are very healthy dogs that almost do not suffer from genetic diseases inherent in factory breeds. Their good health is the result of centuries of natural selection, when a puppy faces a tough choice: survive or die.

These dogs are naturally accustomed to work, which gives them food. They must periodically perform their watchdog, hunting or riding functions. Otherwise, the breed will deteriorate, and the dogs will get sick.

Spitz and primitives are not demanding on living conditions. They easily withstand severe polar frosts and do not need special food or vitamins in order not to get sick. Their body in the most severe conditions works like a clock.

Flaws

These dogs feel very independent and self-sufficient. They understand that they practically do not depend on a person, do not perceive him as their master. Therefore, they do not particularly obey a person and are difficult to train.

Spitz-shaped and primitive breeds, as a rule, have a cold temperament, they do not seek to make contact, so an inexperienced dog breeder should not get such a dog. It requires a lot of patience.

General signs

Spitz and primitive dogs are characterized by a dry and lean exterior. Moreover, it is natural, natural, and not cultivated, like greyhounds. Their body is shaped this way by millennia of struggle for survival.

Spitz and primitive dogs are usually silent. They practically do not bark, but only occasionally grumble. They have well-developed necessary sense organs: sight, hearing and smell, excellent immunity, high content of red blood cells, etc.

These dogs, as a rule, live in packs, within each pack there is its own system of subordination and leader, to which Spitz and primitive dogs strictly obey.

All spitz and primitives have high intelligence, which has developed as a result of the constant struggle for their existence, as well as the performance of certain work: hunting, moving goods in a team, protecting people, material values, etc.

Types of primitive native dogs

There are a great many of these species; an ordered scientific classification does not exist today. Here are just a few of them:

1) Sled dogs common in the tundra and polar deserts.

2) Reindeer dogs living in the tundra from Scandinavia to the Far East.

3) Spitz-shaped hunting dogs from Scandinavia, the taiga part of Siberia, China, and Japan.

4) Dogs hunting rabbits in the Mediterranean.

5) Lop-eared hunting dogs from North Africa, the Middle East and Central Asia.

6) Dogs guarding livestock throughout Eurasia from Portugal to Mongolia.
