Lowchens!

The Lowchen is so cool so why don't you have a look at some facts about it:

#1. "The Lowchen, also called the Little Lion is a small dog who's coat is often cut to resemble the look of a lion."
#2. "The head is short with a broad skull."
#3. "The nose is dark, usually black."
#4. "The eyes are round, dark and set well into the skull."
#5. "The ears are pendant in shape and moderate in length with feathering."
#6. "The short body is well proportioned."
#7. "The tail is set high and of medium length."
#8. "The coat is long and wavy, but not curly. The most popular colors are white, black and lemon but also come in a speckeled coloring. When clipped to look like a lion the hindquarters, the section of the tail closest to the body, and part of the front legs are closely clipped. When the coat is not clipped it is long, rather dense and moderately soft in texture."
#9. "The Lowchen is a cheerful, lively, affectionate dog."
#10. "Sociable and intelligent, it is eager to learn."
#11. "These dogs are fearless, but gentle and sensitive."
#12. "Lowchen usually learn quickly and present little difficulty in their training."
#13. "Playful, they are good with children and usually will do okay with other dogs as well as non-canine pets."
#14. "Its lion-cut coat makes it look fragile and rather undignified, although this is definitely not the case."
#15. "The Lowchen is a robust, even tough dog which can be strong-willed and arrogant if the owner does not display proper leadership towards the dog. Without this leadership, males, in particular, are quite willing to challenge other large household dogs for leadership. A lot of times they will usually be "top dog" even though they are not the biggest dog in the house. If necessary it will defend its house with intense barking."
#16. "They are not hyperactive, but some may bark or dig a lot."
#17. "Always remember, dogs are canines, not humans. Be sure to meet their natural instincts as animals."
#18. "Height: 10-13 inches (25-33 cm.)"
#19. "Weight: 9-18 pounds (4-8 kg.)"
#20. "The Lowchen are good for apartment life. They are very active indoors and will do okay without a yard."
#21. "The Lowchen need a daily walk. Play will take care of a lot of their exercise needs, however, as with all breeds, play will not fulfill their primal instinct to walk. Dogs who do not get to go on daily walks are more likely to display behavior problems. They will also enjoy a good romp in a safe open area off lead, such as a large fenced in yard."
#22. "Life Expectancy: About 12-14 years."
