Sorry english not meaning the same @Pasha838
Only that I have handled many of the breeds like you and even more know when not reach for a breed.

I understand what did you mean.
Well, in my entire life I had only two breeds of dogs - as a child I had a lapdog that constantly hung on my pants, clinging to them with his teeth, then for many years I didn’t have a single dog, and later we began to get Alabays, living on the principle of "do not seek good except good", that is, if there is a breed of dog that suits, then there is no need to try something else.
Frankly, I don’t teach my dogs anything, they never walk on a leash, I don’t walk them (they live inside a fenced area, although my area is not cramped). Once there was a case when this alabai cut his paw on a sheet of iron (I worked on the roof and forgot to remove the sheet iron), we had to take him to the veterinarian to sew up the wound, but I had never taken this dog anywhere before and he went to car when he was just a puppy. As a result, I had the whole problem of putting a stubborn and biting dog in the car. When I arrived at the vet, there were two veterinarians - one veterinarian cleaned up the dog's paw, sewing up the wound, treating it and bandaging it, and the other veterinarian treated my hands, which were bitten by this dog to the point of blood.
That's basically all that should be noted about my ability to handle dogs )))
Be that as it may, but later I did bandages for him, and I do all the injections (vaccinations). His cut paw has healed for a long time ago, but since then I have locked all the sheet metal inside the fenced area so that the dog could not go there and get hurt.

I got into canning again. it`s pear compote

And I did lecho again. I'll probably need another cellar soon. I'm thinking of buying a couple of large concrete rings, digging them into the ground, treating the outside with bitumen from moisture, and finishing the bottom with roofing paper, bitumen and pouring concrete. I will place this inside the summer kitchen. Luckily, I was a little tired and decided not to build it this year (only the strip foundation is ready there), and now it occurred to me that under that kitchen I need a small cellar where I could put away tomato sauces and lechos.

This recipe calls for no vinegar, just peppers, tomatoes and onions, salt and sugar (a little), and a little bit of water is added first. In order for these jars to be stored and not deteriorated, they must be boiled before closing.
Today I made 17.1 liters of lecho (6 two-liter cans, two 1.8 and one 1.5 l)
After boiling, i need to wait 5-10 minutes, close the jars, and after which they are turned over. Then, when they cool down, I turn them back and put them in the cellar.

I adopted the habit of canning a lot from my late grandfather. He had a small plot of land on which he grew all sorts of things, after which he canned it all in cans, loaded a full car, and all the household members went by train, because there was no place left in the car. After that, all winter they ate and drank these blanks. It is difficult to say how economically feasible it is, but homemade lecho comes out 4 times cheaper than store-bought lecho, and besides, it is much tastier. Therefore, in Russia, many people preserve and preserve every summer, almost to the point of stupefaction.
This tradition has been going on here for hundreds of years. Even the Soviet government could not do anything about it. They tried to build catering, shops - but people still canned as many cans as if they were preparing for an alien invasion, the third world war, a zombie apocalypse and the end of the world. Old people generally preserve so much that all their household members cannot eat it for three years.
At first I did it moderately, but then I got carried away and I also began to make 15-20 liters of blanks every day all summer and autumn.
