Lowchen
Commonly known as the 'Little Lion Dog,' the Lowchen is a brave and affectionate companion with a long history as a lapdog for European nobility. Despite their regal appearance, they are robust, playful, and highly intelligent dogs that excel in both agility and cuddling. Their name comes from the traditional 'lion cut' grooming style, which highlights their spirited yet loving nature.
